Do you have one tonight? And are you working on the tour of you oil 🛢 and balm SQUIRREL OH I was thinking that you can do a time-line of you growing your beard if it is too long the video 📹 that is you can do two our three parts of it from five years to 2024.❤❤
1) I have a stream tonight, yes 2) I have the tour idea down but no plans for filming it yet 3) no timeline for me, but there are some amazing ones on TH-cam!
A good comb or pick (i get less snags with Chicago picks, everyone is different) always comes first DO NOT Skip that, but Aberlite is for real the top dogs when it comes to the end game of maintaining a lengthier beard. I did alright without a heat brush and just a cheap blow dryer, somehow did okay with a cheaper not recommended heat-brush, but if you can swing it the Aberlite Go 2 or Pro??? Completely changed the game and lives up to the hype. Sooner you can get it better chance you won't tear, pull, snag, singe, or any other nasty things while having a tool that is as easy and safe as it can get to use. Aberlite is what gave me the power to stop thinking i needed to trim so much, actually go for length. Its so good it actually changed my beard goals when i couldn't see it as a feasibility before because no matter what i tried things were just off.
I still use my Boars hair brush every day but only on my mustache and then I use it to very gently run over the outside of my beard to sorta tame the wild hairs back into the bulk of the beard. And then I redo it with my fingers but I like the feel of the boars hair brush dialing it in first. But I don't press hard and curve it to my cheek. No no no in fact I use a new technique with my heated brush on my chin where I have a natural dip to pull my hairs up and out where the dip is and then gently run the heated brush back down without pressing in and it completely gets rid of my chin dip! Another awesome video Dan! Keep em coming!! 👊
Geat educational video as alway. I have an Aberlite and Chicago comb on my Christmas list. I did buy a Amazon special cause its what i could swing at the time. Thanks for the info.
Great video & tool tips! Carbon fiber combs & adding heat in the beard routine have been game changers when it comes to styling. Carbon fiber because of its versatility & durability. Heat because it aids in hair control & softness. Ty Dan & keep it up!
This is a great summary of the tools one will need as they progress on the beard journey! The brush definitely helps early on 👍 the exfoliation of the brush helps the itchy feeling in those first few weeks/months for sure! Also, learning that I combed in toward my jawline and created a dip (which Dan mentioned in a previous video) made a big difference in my beard style and how I felt about it. I have yet to use heat on my beard, even a blow dryer 🙃 I haven't really felt the need for it, but will likely try it in the future as I may like the styling better 😊 thanks Dan! You rock man 🤘 and thanks Aberlite for the giveaway!
I had a cheap heated brush, it was designed for head hair, and was too big with a convex shape. I could never really get it to do what I needed... I purchased an Aberlite, one of the less expensive models, was about twice the price of the cheap one, but works 100X better... I can only Imagine what the top end ones are like... I've discovered for me (When I had a beard 😪) if I used only the brush without the blow dryer, I want to remove the big waves but not loose the texture. For my hair I used a fairly low temperature 290 degrees F, and moved relatively slowly. I also found that if I used the brush kinda like a round brush, I would dig in from the back side and twist the brush out, then pull it through, it helped with the dips... I am excited to see if all the things I learned will help in my new journey that starts Dec 1 😎 I have my Grovember shirt on as I am watching today
Okay, as an addendum to the heated brush... I've had three heated brushes now... Each was double the cost, the first one was too big, had convex (rounded outwards) tines that were hard and pokey... The Aberlite compact (Pocket?) was a better size for the beard, had more comfortable tines and a concave (rounded in) shape, it also had double the heat settings. Even though as I mentioned this brush was 100X better than the cheap one, the Aberlite Pro is even that much better than the compact. I wasn't expecting it to be THAT much better, but a combination of the shape of the tines, the heating element, and the amount of heat settings, make it WELL worth the price... I finally feel like I can get the temperature right, I'm currently using the 280 degree setting and loving it...
I almost only use a low diameter roundbrush these days. Its what I have found makes for the best shaping of the beard. Especially on days I take the time to apply some heat too. Heat + tension = direction, as someone wise once said ;)
Awesome content as always brotha! Absolutely love my chocago combs and boars brush. I think my next step will be getting a heated brush to try and change up my look!
Dan, your channel has been priceless on my beard journey. All the information and advice has been top notch. My barber even told me that I probably have the healthiest, best looking beard of all his clients. That's in part to all the great info from you and the other dudes in FB group.
The boars brush is one of my all time favorite tools next to the Chicago combs. I’ve never been big on heat. My wife bought me a heated brush m, I really need to use it more. Most of the heat I’ve used is from a blow dryer. Obviously oil is the greatest of all time. Nice video!
Another great Growvember video Dan! I recently missed using heat for 24 hours, and my beard felt awful, and looked a bit crazy. Wild how much better my beard looks and feels just using a good blow dryer and cold shot. The giveaway is awesome too! It would be awesome to get even one of those tools!
Great video Dan as always! Before I was brought onto a blow dryer and comb (blowout method), I'd always have the dip in my beard from my old crappy heated brush and I didn't know why. I started using the blow dryer and heated brush (not as aggressive lol) and it fixed my dip and did wonders for my beard! I love my Chicago #8 comb and Aberlite heated brush. I use them both religiously lol
I never knew there was so much in growing a beard. I usually grow one for November and keep it until spring. This year, I decided to keep it. All your information is extremely helpful. Thank you.
I just bought a heated brush from beard octane it was more budget friendly for me . And it is a game changer. I was trying a blow dryer but I didn't get the results I wanted. Following your advice and I'm very happy now. Also shout out for Monday Livestream with the amazing discount I got a smokin' deal so THANKS Dan and Beard Octane
I LOVE my Aberlite Pro, it makes such a huge difference for my beard type. And my compliments on your beard, it's gotten so long that the bottom is off the screen! That's awesome!
This is a fantastic explanation of the different tools you will need to grow and maintain a beard. I wish I knew this information when I first started growing my beard. Pro tip: buy an extra comb to have one on the counter and one in the shower. If you have just one, you will forget to transition it every…single…time.
Just decided to grow my beard out, always wanted to do it but was never able to because of work. I'm nervous and excited and glad I ran across your channel. Thanks bro
Dan I’ve followed all your advice and certainly went through some trial and error in line with your suggestions. Nothing but great things going on here. Keep it coming! Thanks!
I have never used a heated brush but have wanted to try one. I've never coughed up the money to buy one, it would be awesome if I won! Thank you, Dan and Aberlite!
i got a heated brush a couple of months ago and i absolutely love it. makes my beard soft and flowy. this brush would be a great travel brush for me. keep up the great work and thank you Dan!
Love this video Dan! I remember when I first found your channel about 18 months ago was when I was just starting to need the heat and you've been instrumental in helping me with that! 🔥😎👍
I've used different heated brushes. One reason I've stay with the Aberlite is because of the shorter bristles. Shorter bristles = easier cleaning! Also, Chicago #8 is an awesome comb!
Great video! Love how informative you are and educating us and showing us great products. Nothing worse than buying something blind and then figuring out how bad the product was
Great advice! Brush bristles should be on the stiff side, and narrow-toothed combs are fine for stubble and short beards, but longer beards need wider teeth. I’ve no experience with heat.
I have yet to use heat and am at 2 years. One of the brushes I use typically before bed or just if it is messed up is a conair detangling brush with the smaller bristles. Does not pull like a comb and does knock it down if needed. Love this series
Great informational video for the new and experienced beardsman Dan. Well done. A heated brush is a must for my unruly beard and it makes all the difference. I have put the Aberlite Go2 on my Christmas list. Appreciate how you break things down by beard length and goals. Glad to have this community ❤️
Using blow dryer but never tried heated brush. Treating the stache with it sounds brilliant 👍👍 Great info no matter where you are on your beard journey 👊
Great video as always Dan 👍 Aberlite is a very valuable tool in my beard care routine. I appreciate all the beard knowledge you share. I have learned so much from you over the years and my beard thanks you.
The longest I’ve ever went without shaving was 4 weeks. It was a terrible experience. I’m at 4 weeks now, used oil and the boar brush from the start and it has made a huge difference. My face and hair are soft. My skin doesn’t hurt.
I would also recommend a good beard wash. I used to always keep my beard fairly short but always wanted to grow a long beard. I usually would get a little frustrated then finally this summer I made the decision to just let it grow & started searching on here for beard tips & tricks for growing a long & I came across Dan C. After watching a few of his videos I knew right then that I have the confidence & patience I didn’t have before finding this channel. After using beard wash for the first time I couldn’t believe how much cleaner & softer my beard felt.
My next purchase is a Chicago comb. Easy to get in the UK so that's a big plus. I have the aberlite go and use it every day. Another very helpful video. Thanks
I have been using a boars bristle brush for years now for the hair on my head. I keep it military cut. But I have started using one on my beard since watching your channel. It does a great job of spreading the beard oil out through the hairs. Thanks for the great advice.
Hey Guys. Patience is key. Take care of yer beard and be patient. Dan is am amazing resource for great advice on all beard topics. I love the heat combined with the cold shock makes my beard feel vitalized. I have a Nisperos heated brush but I'd love to try out the Aberlite. 🏁
And that’s a biiiiiiiig aspect that is hard to explain online. So many guys say “it’s not for me, makes my beard too thin” or something along those lines. Really hard to get through in text that it genuinely takes lots of practice Aka trial and error. Stepping out of your comfort zone and not just resorting to the easy “it’s not for me”
@@DanCBearded Good call! My routine can also change slightly on the day. Did I just shower? Is my house a little cold/hot? Humidity? Over time you learn to make the small adjustments to get consistent results! Practice! I NEED it before I can leave the house lol.
I never used heat in my previous beard journeys. This most recent one I have and do daily. It's a game changer and makes me feel more confident about how it looks.
The tools you use really do make a difference! I started out with one of those cheap stamped combs that pulls out hair. Stay away from those and get yourself a good Kent or Chicago comb to use. Iam using a small pocket Kent, a wooden, and an oxhorn comb with a boars hair brush. As for heat, I have not tried it yet, but I would like to. I cannot justify the cost at this time so winning one would be awesome! Trimming your beard might sound scary at first, but let me tell you that I am much happier trimming my own beard than going to a barber and coming away disappointed. Sure you will make mistakes, but you learn and get better. Plus you making a mistake feels better than someone else screwing up your beard. It is easier to accept. I have a Brio and it is worth every penny to get a good trimmer to use.
I’m still working in the routine of using the heated brush everyday. For the new beardsman it’s hands down a great investment for a luscious and clean looking beard!
Love this video, and considering I keep a shorter beard compared to most I highly recommend a boars hair brush. Tip for those looking to get a boars hair brush if you have sensitive skin like I do I highly recommend a soft bristle brush and firm bristle brushes tend to be rough on my skin under my beard!
A tool that works really well for me that I don’t hear a lot of people talk about is a brush (not a boars hair, I currently have a wet brush and a denman). My beard is super curly and sometimes I need to run a brush through it before I can get a comb through.
Another great video Dan,I’ve learned so much from your channel wish I found this channel when I started my beard journey. But once I found this my beard has been so so so much better, healthier an just all around feels amazing. Thanks again for all u do
Awesome video, I need to incorporate the heated brush into my routine. BTW just got my Grow-vember shirt in the mail yesterday awesome shirt thank you to you and Sam
I used to only use a boars hair brush even with a long beard until I learned about the Chicago comb from you. Now I use the comb to spread oil and fluff it out, then the brush to shape in flyaway hairs. I don't like the idea of using heat-- I have a terminal length mustache that I have trained over years and also shape with butter into a handlebar. I've been doing a handlebar so long that my mustache now shapes into one even with no product or shaping. I've always been curious about a heated brush, though.
I have a brush and a Chicago Comb #2. I find the teeth-spacing on the latter pretty wide. Going wider seems counterintuitive to putting control on the beard, for me, but I'd give heat a go.
Recently picked up a couple of Chicago Combs (No1 and No6) and what a gamechanger! I’m used to Kent combs, which are fantastic high quality combs in their own right but Chicago is in a league of their own. I didnt realize how large these combs were though. I thought the No6 would be a ”standard” size comb but its almost twice that size and way too big for my beard in its current state. Need to grow it a bit bigger before it’s combing efficiently on the wide teeth side. And the No1 is supposed to be a pocket/travel comb but it’s much closer to standard size, so that will be my daily comb for now and the 6 will have to chill on a shelf for a few more months. For my pocket i’ll stick with my Kent 20T for now.
A very informative video on when and how to use the different tools. I do use a heated brush every day which is a game changer for my beard. i do plan on upgrading my heated brush maybe take advantage of Aberlite's Black Friday deals.

Thank you Scott! Great add ons
Thanks for the heated brush recommendation
No problem!!
This explains my journey of tools perfectly! Learned about the aberlite pro and Chicago comb #8 from you and have never turned back. I use both daily!
And clearly is working!
Same here Nick! I can't go a day without either one lol
Ok, lets try commenting on this video and see if it works!
Let gooo!
@@DanCBearded ❤️🔥🤘
Been rocking my growvember shirt this week. Thanks for the video dan! shared it out to a few people.
Awesome! Thank you!
Definitely got to have the right tools! Heat was a game changer for me! Thanks as always Dan!
Makes all the difference!
Geat educational video as alway. I have an Aberlite and Chicago comb on my Christmas list. I did buy a Amazon special cause its what i could swing at the time. Thanks for the info.
Awesome!!
My barber uses a heated brush now when she cuts my beard (was using blow dryer b4). I need 2 put her on carbon fiber combs (she uses wood😅).
Put her on!
Great video & tool tips!
Carbon fiber combs & adding heat in the beard routine have been game changers when it comes to styling. Carbon fiber because of its versatility & durability. Heat because it aids in hair control & softness.

Thank you!!

Right on!
Heat every day it's out of control with out. I trim my self, when I had hair on my head I would cut it myself.
Same here!
"When I had hair on my head" hit me right in the feels.
Great stuff for anyone starting out and knowing what's available to help styling. Heat is my best friend when it comes to styling.
Same here! Couldn’t imagine not using heat
we learned about Chicago Combs from you and we are now a Stockist. thank you Dan! awesome video brother! 🔥

Dan truly the expert who has made my beard journey exciting.
I appreciate that!
Chicago comb was definitely a game changer. Goes through like butter.
The best!
definitely feel you on the "have it before you need it" part

Using a heated brush daily has been the biggest difference maker styling wise. Can't imagine going back.
Right!? I could not imagine having my beard without a heated brush
I would love to try that heated brush. I've heard only great things about Aberlite! That trimmer looks nice too! 👍🏻
Good luck!
This is a really great cause and I appreciate you and your wifey advocating!

Hey Guys. Patience is key. Take care of yer beard and be patient. Dan is am amazing resource for great advice on all beard topics. I love the heat combined with the cold shock makes my beard feel vitalized. I have a Nisperos heated brush but I'd love to try out the Aberlite. 🏁
Thanks man!
Great informational video for the new and experienced beardsman Dan. Well done.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you Dan
It definitely took me a little time to get my heated brush routine dialed in!
And that’s a biiiiiiiig aspect that is hard to explain online. So many guys say “it’s not for me, makes my beard too thin” or something along those lines. Really hard to get through in text that it genuinely takes lots of practice Aka trial and error. Stepping out of your comfort zone and not just resorting to the easy “it’s not for me”
@@DanCBearded Good call! My routine can also change slightly on the day. Did I just shower? Is my house a little cold/hot? Humidity? Over time you learn to make the small adjustments to get consistent results! Practice! I NEED it before I can leave the house lol.
2 weeks into first beard. Love your videos and advice.
Oh perfect timing!! Glad you found the channel
I never used heat in my previous beard journeys. This most recent one I have and do daily. It's a game changer and makes me feel more confident about how it looks.
Yesss, love to hear that!!
The tools you use really do make a difference! I started out with one of those cheap stamped combs that pulls out hair. Stay away from those and get yourself a good Kent or Chicago comb to use. Iam using a small pocket Kent, a wooden, and an oxhorn comb with a boars hair brush. As for heat, I have not tried it yet, but I would like to. I cannot justify the cost at this time so winning one would be awesome! Trimming your beard might sound scary at first, but let me tell you that I am much happier trimming my own beard than going to a barber and coming away disappointed. Sure you will make mistakes, but you learn and get better. Plus you making a mistake feels better than someone else screwing up your beard. It is easier to accept. I have a Brio and it is worth every penny to get a good trimmer to use.
Thanks Kevin!
I’m still working in the routine of using the heated brush everyday. For the new beardsman it’s hands down a great investment for a luscious and clean looking beard!
Heck yeah!!
Love this video, and considering I keep a shorter beard compared to most I highly recommend a boars hair brush. Tip for those looking to get a boars hair brush if you have sensitive skin like I do I highly recommend a soft bristle brush and firm bristle brushes tend to be rough on my skin under my beard!
That’s awesome!
Recently switched to a carbon fiber chicago comb. So smooth over the wood beard brush
The best!
Thanks Dan!
You’re welcome!
Great information Dan. Started using heat about 6 months ago and it was a game changer for my beard!
Yesss!
I’m new to the channel and have been loving all of the advice and product reviews! Keep em coming!
Thank you Seth!!
Never thought about using heat, thanks for the chance to give this a try.
I couldn’t imagine having my beard and not using heat!
@@DanCBeardedI am 61 years old and I have been a cook my whole life so I figured I would try growing a beard lol
@johnellis7687 that’s phenomenal!
A tool that works really well for me that I don’t hear a lot of people talk about is a brush (not a boars hair, I currently have a wet brush and a denman). My beard is super curly and sometimes I need to run a brush through it before I can get a comb through.
That’s great!!
Awesome video . I use my aberlite pro and Chicago comb everyday
Samesies!
Growing my first beard at 33 years old. Thanks for all the advice!
That’s awesome! Glad you found the channel 🤝
Another great video Dan,I’ve learned so much from your channel wish I found this channel when I started my beard journey. But once I found this my beard has been so so so much better, healthier an just all around feels amazing. Thanks again for all u do
So glad man!!

Thanks, will do!
Awesome video, I need to incorporate the heated brush into my routine. BTW just got my Grow-vember shirt in the mail yesterday awesome shirt thank you to you and Sam
Oh very cool!
Thanks for all the great advice!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for turning me onto the Chicago combs since I bought mine I haven’t used another comb
The best!!
I used to only use a boars hair brush even with a long beard until I learned about the Chicago comb from you. Now I use the comb to spread oil and fluff it out, then the brush to shape in flyaway hairs. I don't like the idea of using heat-- I have a terminal length mustache that I have trained over years and also shape with butter into a handlebar. I've been doing a handlebar so long that my mustache now shapes into one even with no product or shaping. I've always been curious about a heated brush, though.
I forgot to say, the last key tool I use is a tiny Kent comb for my mustache. Get my handlebar parted perfectly.
I have a brush and a Chicago Comb #2. I find the teeth-spacing on the latter pretty wide. Going wider seems counterintuitive to putting control on the beard, for me, but I'd give heat a go.
You’d be surprised how much tension you can get with all of the Chicago combs!
Recently picked up a couple of Chicago Combs (No1 and No6) and what a gamechanger! I’m used to Kent combs, which are fantastic high quality combs in their own right but Chicago is in a league of their own. I didnt realize how large these combs were though. I thought the No6 would be a ”standard” size comb but its almost twice that size and way too big for my beard in its current state. Need to grow it a bit bigger before it’s combing efficiently on the wide teeth side. And the No1 is supposed to be a pocket/travel comb but it’s much closer to standard size, so that will be my daily comb for now and the 6 will have to chill on a shelf for a few more months. For my pocket i’ll stick with my Kent 20T for now.
Great breakdown and happy to hear the experiences!
A very informative video on when and how to use the different tools. I do use a heated brush every day which is a game changer for my beard. i do plan on upgrading my heated brush maybe take advantage of Aberlite's Black Friday deals.
Oh awesome!! We do have pretty big deals every Wednesday night on BAL
This is on my wish list this year. Would love to upgrade my heated brush to the aberlite pro
You won’t regret it!
