What our customers say
1. Know where to define the cheek line
Who it's for: Men with full beards who want sharp edges.
The cheek line is the edge of the beard on your cheek. Define it too high and your beard looks patchy. Define it too low and it looks like you cannot grow a proper beard. The right line is where the dense beard hair ends naturally, about half an inch above the cheekbone. Use a balm to shape this line and a comb to keep it precise.
Why it matters: Flexible hold that shapes and tames without flaking or cracking as you move.
Tip: Look in the mirror from the side. The line should follow your jaw angle from ear to chin.
2. Shape the neckline so it looks intentional
Who it's for: Men with longer beards that need a clean bottom edge.
The neckline is where the beard ends at the neck. A wild neckline makes the whole beard look sloppy. Shaping it means defining a line that curves from under one ear to under the other, leaving the hair under the chin slightly longer. Balm holds this shape in place all day.
Why it matters: Natural beeswax base gives flexible hold to shape and tame the beard throughout the day.
Tip: The neckline should start below the natural curve of your jaw, not directly on the jawline.
3. Use a comb to separate the hair and define shape
Who it's for: Anyone new to shaping and unsure how to create clean lines.
A comb is your shaping tool. After applying balm, use a medium or fine-toothed comb to comb the beard in the direction you want it to grow. Comb outward from the face along the cheek line. Comb downward along the neckline. The balm holds each stroke so the shape stays defined.
Why it matters: 8 organic oils and butters condition every strand while beeswax provides control.
Tip: Start with the top of the beard and work down. Use more pressure on the edges where you want sharp definition.
4. Shape the moustache line to separate it from the beard
Who it's for: Men with full beards who want the moustache to stand out.
If you have a full beard and want the moustache separate, define where one ends and the other begins. Use the comb to comb the moustache downward and the beard downward too, then apply balm to lock each section in place. This definition makes both the moustache and beard look sharper.
Why it matters: Tames flyaways and adds clean, healthy shine without grease or heaviness.
Tip: The moustache line should follow the natural line where your lip hair begins.
5. Trim the edges once the shape is defined in balm
Who it's for: Men ready to use scissors or clippers for a sharp finish.
Once the balm holds your beard in the shape you want, you can trim the loose hairs that stick out beyond your defined lines. The balm keeps the shape locked in place so you see exactly where the edges are and what you are cutting. Trim carefully and slowly.
Why it matters: Holds the shape steady while you trim so you can see exactly what you are cutting.
Tip: Trim after shaping with balm, not before. The balm shows you the final shape before you cut.
6. Refresh the shape every morning for consistency
Who it's for: Professional men who want the same sharp look every day.
A shaped beard only stays shaped if you shape it daily. Every morning, warm a small scoop of balm in your palms, work it through your beard, and use a comb to define the cheek line and neckline again. It takes under two minutes and keeps your shape sharp.
Why it matters: Daily use of balm keeps the beard shaped consistently from day to day.
Tip: Do this every morning before you leave the house. The balm hardens overnight as it cools, so warming and reshaping is essential.
7. Subscribe to keep balm always on hand for daily shaping
Who it's for: Men who want consistent shaping as part of their daily routine.
Shaping your beard is a daily habit, so you need balm before you run out. A subscription ensures it arrives every 28 days, and the first order is Β£9.97 instead of the full Β£49.97. You can pause or cancel at any time.
