Great video, Dan. I'm at a stage as I grow toward "big beard status", where I'm finding out I have a LOT of curl and wave to my beard. I find that, even though I'm only four or five months in, I can't get my beard comb with the shorter tines through it. I picked up the Chicago Comb you talked about a few videos ago. Absolute game changer! It's my go-to first thing in the a.m. or when I get home from work (mask mash). Don't use the brush much any more, just to do a "top dressing" after my morning routine. Keep 'em coming, Dan. Learning lots.

Wow, I went through this same evolution and didn’t even realize it. Kent comb was my first and realized it wasn’t getting the job done, went to a ox horn and love it but lately have noticed that has been a chore, may have to get a handled horn comb now. I also find myself not using the boars hair brush anymore but have been in love with the detangler wet brush with the knobs on the end. All this time I thought I was doing something wrong, never realized it was part of the process. Thanks Dan C

A round brush really changed everything for me. I had never used one until recently, and now it's by far the most used brush I have. I like both a regular round brush, and a boards hair round brush. If you don't feel like your beard is styling quite right, and you've never used one, give it a try.

Thanks for the video, Dan C! I have only used one type of comb since growing my beard and that is a Kent Comb. I have never considered using any other comb until now. Kent Comb still works for my current beard length,

Dan, that is some great info. I’m at the medium length stage & probably starting here & not going longer. The process I use for my mostly grey, extremely wavy kinky beard is this and seems to work pretty well. Out of the shower and drying about 75%, comb through w/ ox horn comb. Apply oil & comb again w/ ox horn. Wait 5 or so minutes & then blow dry using a round boar’s hair brush. That’s the only thing I’ve found that gives the tension I need to somewhat straight this beast. The after blow dry, I apply balm or butter. Comb through again with the ox horn comb. And finally use the regular boar’s hair brush to style (try and lock down any flyaways). It’s a process that my wife gives me grief over occasionally but all in good fun.

Chicago comb 8 for my medium beard has worked well. I haven't really stopped using other combs due to length, more because the CC8 works so well. I might use a comb with small teeth to tame curls, but that's because I don't have a boar brush. Getting a round brush and probably will use that more than the short teeth comb.

Nice video, I came to the same conclusion during the time I grow my beard, I never used the round brush but I use a lot of the chicago Model No 8, wich help me get really deep into the beard. Another great one Dan C. Have a great day.

I use the big comb and a brush!

I was recently shopping for a round boar bristle brush. I had bought one earlier but it was just too big in diameter for my “short” beard so I wanted a smaller one. Found one like you mentioned with the holes for the air to go through as you dry and brush that also is boars hair. Best of both worlds. It’s made by conair and is very cheap compared to some others. So far would recommend! Animal horn is next on my list.

Hi Dan, Have to send you another shout out for good advice. The ox horn comb from Detroit Grooming is the first comb to get through my 18 inch beard from top to bottom, under-beard and all. Your recommendation to comb right after conditioning while the beard is still wet worked. The beard represents about 3 years of growth. And yes the tools have changed during this journey. From a simple pocket comb while it was short. At yeard length started to use a boars hair brush and wooden comb. After two years growth the brush was the only way to get out the tangles, besides finger combing. Again thanks for the great content. Stay safe.

I started with the same, a comb and a boar brush. Now I use a pick with wide teeth. It’s absolutely true that the tools change.

I ditched my razors 50 days ago, and I think I've got at least 5 different brushes and combs at this point. I am moving more into the oxhorn camp, but I still love my Chicago #6, and I still use my boars bristle whenever I want more outer styling after my routine. I'm surprised it took me this long to find this video, but it's a banger as always Teach! I had my Beard Octane pocket sized oxhorn at work last night and a female coworker with hair down to her tushy had some knots, and when I offered it to her she looked at it and said her hair was gonna break it, I just laughed and said no it won't. She was amazed that it got her hair untangled as fast as it did, and my comb is still just fine hahaha

When I straighten/blow dry my beard I have the same experience as you, but if I leave it natural I've found my Boars Hair brush and round brush are very useful for styling to a presentable level. The boars hair helps interlock hair and make my beard lay flatter, while the round brush helps with dips. I always start with a wooden pick to detangle my beard, I have a Kent 12T and 10T that I rarely use anymore, they are the best combs though.

Yoooo Dan!!! Awesome video!! I'm still a fairly new member to the bearded community. I dont own a round bristle brush, I dont own a Kent comb, I started off with a wood comb and standard oval shaped boars hair brushes. Ive had a few different boars brushes, some with super stiff bristles, and some with super soft, and I fully agree, I got my beard octane brush and is the best for me, it's a good middle ground between tough and soft bristles. I still use everything I've got, love running combs through my beard, and the brush, it all feels soooooo gooooood. I'm between 5 and 6in right now, and now that you say it, it is definitely getting harder to reach my skin through my beard with the boars hair brush. I wonder if I'll put it down or not soon. I prefer my handled ox horn combs over ones without. All in all, great video, planning on sharing this with my good buddies that are just starting out the bearded journey 😁👊🏼

I have just kent combs of all size. I carry a r7t everyday in my pocket. Got the 9t and really liked it for awhile but I think my beard is a bit too long now but still works good if you keep your head hair short. I think I'm moving up to the 16t on my beard, which is what I've been using on my head hair. I have a ZilbarHaar Major boar bristle brush that is pretty stiff but the bristles are long so can be used for longer beard growth. You can always adjust the pressure on a stiff brush. Hopefully in a few months I can move into the deeper combing combs.

It always amazes me how timely your videos are. I, too, really like my handled, wide-toothed ox horn comb. I've been using it daily for the past few months. I use a wooden comb to disperse beard oil. I made a wild discovery this morning. I showered and bearded this morning but about an hour later, I got to working in my garage and sweated up a Gum stump (as we say in the South). My straight, white beard immediately got curls and got bigger! Freaked me out a bit. Well, I showered again with just a beard rinse. I did not apply any oil to see how my beard would react. Lo and behold, it was curly! Of course, I'll add oil later but I was amazed! I had been searching for ways to make my beard have more bulk and I think I stumbled on it. @Dan C Bearded, does this make sense to you?

I have also noticed a lot of changes with brushes has my beard grows in length and thickness started out with a simple wooden beard comb from Walmart the two-sided one and then later on Triad Barrel brush when it got a little longer than that the beginning stages anyways and then started messing around with afro picks the one with the metal tines is the one I usually use now has wide Space X they're all metal and it reaches the skin so I can stimulate the skin follicles after oiling and I'll also breaks up knots in my under beard and then for a smooth finish I usually go through the whole thing using one of those Sleek shampoo Combs with the long tines that are far spaced apart and that's what I use now and I'm a little over 3 years on my beard and plan on going longer and Fuller in the future so always looking for different products to keep it looking good and hydrated and also I picked up a few tips after I apply the oil I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then I gently comb through and then I put my butter in and then style how I like then I'm ready for the day and also a little bit of beard wax on my mustache and fly away areas really helps a lot to keep keep my beard under control throughout the day thanks for all the information a lot of the beard tips and styling tricks I Learned was from your Channel God bless you have a wonderful day keep living bearded brother.

Not a bad idea to clean tools more 👊

I’ve been wanting to dye my beard because I hate my streaks of white, but the guy that’s in the middle of the group of of you and your friends in the intro helped me change my mind.

DUDE! Don't even think about it. Your white streaks are a gift from God. My white streaks are, well, my whole beard, 'tache, and all of what's left of my hair so I have to get by on my natural charm and ready. You are blessed.

Great video dan you know this info is true based off exp my tools are starting to be irrelevant as well ...

Spot on!

I wish I knew at the beginning to use the boars brush, but heck, at the beginning I wasn't even using oil lol. This would have been good to me to see a little before I transitioned to more length, but I made it through it lol. I was mainly just using a wood comb from live bearded that was fine. THEN I found your video about Chicago combs and realized my comb was too small. I definitely went through a number of tools, and I wasn't cleaning them enough, so I had to throw a few out.

@@DanCBearded Exactly! We all just need to steer everyone to this wealth of information!

One of the main reasons I switched from an ox horn comb to a handled ox horn comb was, I was pulling out hair trapped under my fingers as I combed. With the handled comb my fingers were removed from the equation and less hair was ending up in the sink.

I've had the same exact experience with non handled combs, I have a Kent 10T handled comb that eliminated that issue, but mostly I use a wooden pick when my beard is on the longer side.

Great call Steve! It does limit how much of the comb you can use.

Those people are super lucky to get products from you 😂

I have a few and I am not the biggest fan

This was a really timely video for me! My beard is 4.5 inches currently so getting into the medium stage and I've been trying some new products. I have a well liked wooden comb that I need to replace so it looks like I'll be getting a handled buffalo horn one, thanks for the recommendation! The round brush is still a necessity though, it's not going anywhere yet. One struggle is that I'm growing the sides out as well and still get some super annoying fly away hairs regularly there, the regular boar's hair paddle brush doesn't really do anything for them, is there a tool you'd recommend until gravity takes over?

I am growing my upper sides currently ad well and they are kicking my butt. The most useful tool I have found has been a heated brush

I use a ox horn comb first and then the boarshair bristle brush to remove the dips along the jaw line. My beard is almost at it's max length so I don't see me changing that routine.

@DanCBearded

Sounds like a great routine!

Kent makes a “detangling comb” (very wide staggered teeth) and they also have a “large rake comb” that are better than any other combs for my long beard. They’re both wide toothed with a handle. Sometimes they’re a little tricky to find on amazon if you don’t search the right keywords but type in the phrasing I used and they should pop up.

I personally don't use Amazon, do not like the owner.eBay is better plus almost always free shipping. But anyway Kent comb / beard rake is a 10T or called Caroline, Fresh Beards sells them on there site along with great products and owner.

penny armc usually sold out there from what I’ve seen. But nothing against people who prefer not to shop on amazon.
