Overview

When it comes to beard oils, I am a big fan of using the right tool for the job. To do that, you need lots of tools at your disposal. In other words, you should own both. I have a year old beard and use both a traditional oil as well as Dry Oil. If you are buying a gift or want to know what to start with, here are some tips for picking the right product.

For shorter beards (or for more control)

In general, a Dry Oil is best for beards younger than a couple months or for when you want a little more control. This is because Dry Oil has a little beeswax and lanolin and provides a little structure. Brian, from TitleBeard has a year old beard and uses Dry Oil daily. He likes it because it provides the control he wants.

For longer beards (or for for shine without hold)

On the other hand, other competitors I have met prefer traditional oils like CanYouHandlebar Wisdom and Initiative on longer beards because it is lighter and doesn't "weight down" their beard.

Conclusion

There really isn't a right or wrong here. My guess is that curiosity will get the best of you and you'll want both eventually. If you buy both at the same time you save on shipping! :} The good news is that the Beard Oil Brush works great with either type of oil.
