How To Keep Your Beard Game On-Point This Beard Season

As a proudly-hairy man, there are few insults that cut as deep as being called a "neckbeard". No one likes a neckbeard. No one wants to be a neckbeard. Getting called a neckbeard, even in jest from a buddy, hits deep.

Even worse is going home, looking in the mirror and discovering there's an ounce of truth to it; your bountiful whiskers have morphed into an uneven, unkempt mess.

Face it: If you let your facial hair grow without a single thought of upkeep, you are officially a neckbeard. It's an ugly realization. Besides, if your beard game looks sloppy it projects an overall lack of discipline.

No self-respecting person likes looking sloppy — especially when it comes to the grizzly mane on your face. It’s also not appreciated by others: not your boss, not your partner, and, especially not your mother and grandmother who will team-up against you at the Thanksgiving dinner table.

And, frankly, if you show up to a holiday function looking like Forest Gump in the middle of a cross-country marathon, you probably deserve it.

I've been rocking a beard for about five straight years now. Besides just generally being a badass steeze, the thing I love the most about beard life is the low maintenance when it comes to an everyday grooming routine. That said, low maintenance most certainly doesn't mean no maintenance .

Sometimes you have to leash the beast. Especially this time of year.

November is officially the month when men around the world embrace their masculine awesomeness and grow out their beards for men's health initiatives, especially the battle against prostate cancer.

This year, men’s grooming leader Wahl has joined forces with ZERO – The End of Prostate Cancer to support their seasonal Grow & Give campaign. One in nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and it's the second largest cause of cancer deaths in men. Grow & Give raises funds for crucial prostate cancer research, along with national awareness to recognize the risks and patient-centric programs to directly help men and their families.

Whether you're a lone wolf who's been personally impacted by prostate cancer or bearding up with your buddies at your workplace, Grow & Give is a great way to do some good for a great cause.

But first, don't go into peak beard season without a plan-of-attack for your facial hair.

A finely-manicured beard needs a great trimmer. Wahl’s Lithium Ion Stainless Steel Trimmer is hands-down the best men's grooming tool out there. Unlike poorly-constructed plastic trimmers, it's housed in a sleek armor that feels great in your hand. The battery lasts forever, boasting a six-hour runtime and with a series of interchangeable heads it meets almost any grooming need. It mows down those prickly neckbeard hairs while sculpting a well-defined beard line. In other words, it leashes the beast.

Next up, Wahl's beard care products are a true war chest for keeping even a lumberjack beard in check.

Hair on your face is very different from the stuff on your head — and everywhere else on your body. Whiskers are prone to split ends and beard-druff if not washed and conditioned regularly. Worst of all, a mangy beard can result in dreaded beard-itch when the skin under your beard becomes dry from all that beard-druff.

It happens to new beards all time — ever go crazy with itch about three weeks into a new beard? That's because you're not taking care of it, hoss.

These products are key to keeping your beard soft and healthy:

• Wahl Beard Wash — As a great man once told me, NEVER, EVER use regular old shampoo for your head on your beard. Beards are all about being properly moisturized. Wahl's beard wash still cleans your beard with a proper lather without the irritants that dry out your beard over time.

• Wahl Beard Softener — A truly legendary beard should be feathery soft - both for when you run your own fingers through it in quiet contemplation and for when that special someone snuggles up against it. Wahl's beard softer keeps your whiskers from turning into thorny bristles. It's lightly scented and a dollop goes far to keeping things soft. It also helps shape your beard when you run a comb through it.

• Wahl Beard Oil — A crucial part of every beardsman's grooming routine, Wahl’s beard oil is packed with essential oils that keep your beard extra hydrated. Apply a couple drops from the applicator into your hands, rub them together, and enjoy instant shine and softness.

Fully embrace your badass beard and all the great causes for men that go with it this fall — like ZERO’s Grow & Give campaign . But remember, there’s no excuse for your efforts to devolve into a neckbeard.

Don’t let your beard get weird this November.
