My morning routine is not all about shaving – it’s also about grooming the facial hair I don’t shave off.

I’ve been sporting a goatee for the better part of two decades by now, and since shaving it off is not an option (frankly, it’s part of who I am) I figured it was high time to start pampering it a bit. An online acquaintance recommended Big Red Beard from Canada, who makes and sells combs, balms, oils, wax and more for the bearded gentleman.

As with anything I do in regards to my facial hair, I simply can’t do it half way… so I kitted myself out with the full spread. So much for just needing a comb… watch this space for quick reviews.
