So Fresh and So Clean
Now, before you push up your sleeves and get down to the business of trimming, you need to prep your beard. Just as shaving cream helps with razor glide, so does a clean beard help with electric clippers.
First off, use a beard shampoo to wash your beard. The skin on your face is different from your scalp. To paraphrase beard saint Ron Swanson, if you’re going to bother with beard trimming, it’s worth doing it right.
Next, add some conditioner to help make it soft, pliant, and easy to cut. Afterward, hit that bad boy with some beard oil and comb it out.
After your beard is clean and softened, you’re ready for the trimming portion.
