Beard + Wet Shaving Care: How to Master the Best of Both Worlds

Balancing a full beard with clean-shaven lines? That’s the mark of a man who takes grooming seriously. And with the right products and technique, you can maintain both with ease.

In this post, we’ll show you how to care for your beard while keeping your shave sharp—and recommend some of the best shaving supplies for men to help you do it in style.

Shape the Beard, Define the Edges

Precision is everything when it comes to beard lines. A clean neck and cheek line can elevate your entire look.

Use:

  • Tatara Masamune Safety Razor – Made in Portugal, this CNC-machined razor offers unmatched control for edging your beard with finesse.
  • Stirling Soap Co. Shave Soap – Sharp Dressed Man or Unscented – Rich, creamy lather that stays slick and protects skin for precise shaving.

Pro Tip: Shave after a hot shower to soften the hair and open up pores.

Beard Care Essentials

A well-groomed beard requires more than just letting it grow. You need to clean, hydrate, and maintain it daily.

Must-haves:

  • Stirling Soap Co. Beard Oil – Barbershop or Executive Man
  • Moisturises skin and beard, reduces itch, and smells fantastic. Great for daily use.
  • The Goodfellas’ Smile Beard Balm – Inferno or Re Nero
  • Locks in moisture and helps style medium to long beards. Adds a touch of control with a smooth finish.
  • Rockwell Beard Brush
  • A boar bristle brush that exfoliates and trains the beard to grow neatly while distributing oils evenly.

Don’t Neglect the Shaved Skin

Even if most of your face is covered in beard, those clean-shaved areas still need care to avoid irritation or razor bumps.

Try:

  • Stirling Post-Shave Balm – Unscented or Sandpiper
  • Alcohol-free, fast-absorbing and nourishing—ideal for calming freshly shaved skin.
  • NSC Aftershave Splash – Citrus & Ginger or Juniper
  • Refreshing with a slight tingle, these splashes tone and protect the skin while leaving a subtle, masculine scent.

Weekly Grooming Ritual

Keep your beard and shaved skin in top form with a regular deep-cleaning routine:

  1. Beard Wash – Cleanse with a sulfate-free shampoo.
  2. Exfoliate – Use a gentle scrub on shaved areas to prevent ingrowns.
  3. Hydrate – Apply balm or oil after every wash.
  4. Brush it Out – Use a firm brush to remove debris and stimulate the skin underneath.
