Well thought out and well layed out Thank you Teach youre truly appreciated & all your hard work doesn't go unnoticed
@@DeliberatelyBearded thanks for the kind comment!
Can you do a video on how much butter or balm one should use?
@@Hereweare75 I will write it down, absolutely! Just give me a couple weeks 👊
Thanks for putting in the effort on this part.
My gf loves the smell of my oils but if she touches my beard always complains that her hands get greasy, well i guess I now know why and how to avoid that. Cheers mate!
Keep me posted if this helps!
Easy to apply too much when you love the scent. It's like overspraying perfume if the want the scent to last longer throughout the day. Difference is, the oil doesn't dry out like perfume does. And your beard is left greasy with a little shine to it.
Luxurious Bastard, Kingsmen and The Bearded bastard solves that problem though because of their bold scents so you don't need that much.
Great point and well said!
Great video Dan .
Thanks buddy!
Thanks brother. Great info
Commenting to show your old videos have value. Learning more everyday. Thanks
I appreciate that. Thank you!
Thanks Dan. I’ve been struggling with this. Trying to follow “direction” of a dime, or nickel, or 2-4 drops. This was helpful. I have a gray beard and I realized It requires more oil than I’ve been using. I have discovered that my medium beard needs a minimum of half a dropper or a little more than q quarter size. Keep up the good work.
Awesome video buddy you've help me alot and I thank you 👍👍
Thanks Jason! Great to hear from you 👊 I hope you and the Mrs are doing well
Awesome simple video! 👍🏻
Thanks Chris!
Hi Dan! Going for the business beard look. Currently it’s 3.5 inches. I was using 10 drops but started getting acne. After watching the video I tried 6 and did the test 30 minutes later which worked perfectly. Thanks for the advice 👊🏻
No Dan... you’re awesome!!!
Ah shucks!
8 in one whole dropper love your videos keep up the good work
Thank you Brandon!
Start off using 3/4 oil, wait the 5 min and then apply heat. Add in remaining 1/4 and style! Been working great that way. - The Cousins
That's perfect for some beastly beards like you fellas have 👊
I do the same thing. A little oil first , heat/comb , then put the remainder
@@jamesinfl2009 helps with scent, that's for sure!
Gonna try this, been doing oil, 5 min then heat. Gonna add a little more oil after heat thanks for the tip👊👍
What di you mean add heat?
Currently my beard is about 4 inches. I usually use about 15 drops, but think I need to drop down to about 10 or so. Just started using oils and butters within the last 2-3 months, so have been working to dial it in. Have loved the way good product makes my beard feel, and also the confidence growing out my beard longer has given me over the past year or so. Also really enjoying your channel!
Thank you Jeremy! Keep me posted on how the switch works for tou
Thank you trusted teacher i love your videos every video i watch i learn something new I appreciate you Dan
Thanks Julio!
Only found your channel recently but love every video I've watched and I use your regimes
That's awesome! Thanks Nicholas!
I might add, depends on what viscosity the oil is, I use less of heavier castor based oils. Even though I’m at 6” my beard drinks up about a full dropper. If I over do my measurement with a restrictor top I put that oil to use on my neck and tattoos. I have a good friend that is using more then me and has a even shorter beard. Porosity is a very real thing. Great video Dan.
Absolutely true! I didn't want to add layers of confusion on with this video for new beardsmen, but rather just a general rule of thumb they can experiment with. I will have a dedicated video in the near future about the different viscosity levels and how much oil to use 👊
I’m sitting at a short beard right now, so I currently use 4 drops. It seems to do me just fine! Thanks again for the tips, Dan!
Sounds perfect!
I'm the same. I have a short beard (about an inch and a half to 2 inches) and I find that about 4 drops is plenty for me.
Thank you for your knowledge my brother in beard God bless and keep up the good work
Thanks Rich!
I have a short grey beard. I initially used half a dropper from a two-ounce bottle. Despite having a good diet and staying hydrated, my beard would dry out after a few hours. I've now increased the amount of oil to three-quarters of a dropper from the same two-ounce bottle, and I'm using a more significant amount of balm, going from a small amount the size of a fingernail to a more significant amount the size of a thumbnail. So far, I'm pleased with the results of increasing the oil and balm and how that has improved the look and feel of my beard.
That’s awesome!
7" , almost a full dropper.( the grey really soaks it up! )
Greys are a unique monster! That's for sure 👊
Exactly the same here. Good to know it's normal since I'm new to a longer beard.
When you run your hands through should they come back completely “dry” or should it feel like a like your forehead before your shower? I have a 3 1/2” goatee. My sides don’t grow in fully but I am giving that a go too. I use about 6-8 drops of thicker beard oil. If I put it in at about 8:30am I usually get the dry feeling by about 3:00-4:00pm. Is that normal? I also use 4-5 drops at night.
You don't want your hand to have oil on it, that is an easy tell of using too much. Not using enough is tougher side to tell. If it feels like straw, feels itchy, or hurts a little, you probably did not use enough
I really appreciate these videos! I’m trying to grow a long beard for the first time and these are incredibly helpful!
I appreciate hearing that!
Thanks for tips on measuring beard and judging amount of oil. (I have been measuring from the bottom of the chin instead of the bottom lip). Happy to report 8" properly measured. Full dropper for most products. No oily feel just soft. Thank you.
Length 4"
Using 6-7 drops
After half an hour it doesn't feel oily, even after 5-6 hour beard feels good.
Sounds like you nailed it brotha!
Phew, thought i was crazy when he said his is 9” and he uses 20. I use about 4-5 and my length is about 4-4.5”
Hey Dan, how about a routine walkthrough for a pool day? Starting to hit the pool for the summer and was wondering what your routine is.
Already got you covered 👊

Another awesome and informative video. Thanks Trusted Teacher!
Thanks Douglas!
@@DanCBearded You are very welcome!
@@KCRoyalfan4life 🙏
Nice. Good to see these steps for beginners and long time Beardsman
Thanks Tyson!
@@kentuckybeardsman yup!! And they would be amazed how much easier the styling is with less oil
I’m at about 5” and use anywhere from 6-10 drops depending on the oil. For most brands I use 6. For Beard Octane, because their oil is so light, I have to use more.
Great call! Some oils do require more or less, depending on the quality and viscosity
Great video Dan! I think this is a question a lot of beardsmen have and the 30 minute test is a good solution!
Thanks Dan!
Im a little late but im new to the beard game and have found a alot of knowledge really quick watching your videos, thank you! I recently ordered a sampler pack from Beard Octane and cant wait to receive it
That's awesome Arthur!
Thank you Dan C!!!!!!!! I needed this video!! Every brand oil is different. Some I use 5-6 drops and that is perfect with some and others it's toooo much.
Absolutely! That will be my next video on this topic!! The different types of oils
Thanks - really useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, Dan! Took me a while to figure out how much was the right amount! Now I settle at the 10 drop mark!
That's perfect!
Business Beard and I use about 12-14 drops from restrictor cap. Love the videos.
Sweet info Dan as always! Currently rockin an 8in beard, I also use a dropper full. Earlier in my journey I used to use way to much, biggest misconception of all beard products for sure... Less is truly more!
Absolutely true!!
My trusted beard advisor thanks for ALL the BEARD knowledge to help me along my journey to being bearded
You’re welcome!!
Thanks for the science lesson.
🧔👊
Good video, Dan. I'm still in the experimental stage... Finding out what my beard needs.
Thanks Ben!
Thanks Dan. I have been using too much so this video will save me money! Thanks for all the advice.
Perfect! love to hear that
Hi Dan! Great video! Thanks for the information. Just started using beard oil and I was using way too much before. Your videos give me confidence to start my beard journey on the right foot. Appreciate you!
Oh awesome to hear!
I have a Circle beard and after watching this video I revised my beard oil I have 9.5inch and I went from using 1 eyedropper to using 2-3 drops thanks and now it styles better
I have a 7-8 inch beard
I usually use 3/4 - 1 full dropper in the morning. Different oils feel different in beard I kinda base it off of companies. In my opinion of course.
Also love what you did with the video showing each segment, great touch!!
Oh yeah, you are spot! My next edition of this video will be about different types of oils
Just had to change that thumbs up number brother. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Louis!
I don't know if you seen it but it was at 666. I'm very superstitious.
Great video dan. I have been using half a dropper and feel it does a good job on my medium 4 inch beard.
Awesome Andy!
Just made one year for the yeard beard is 6” long.
After watching video yep been using to much oil . Appreciate the tips!
Thanks for this Dan. My bead is 7 inches and I’ve been using half a dropper while beard is still damp. Love your videos!
Thanks brotha!
thank you so much Dan, for the extremely valuable content that you post here. That 30 minute rule is a gold nugget. My routine is the one you presented in your videos. With my beard at 4 inches long i use about 7 drops and it works great. No more stains on my shirts, by the way. You're the best!!!
Awesome!
Thanks @DanCBearded. My Wild Willie oil and my Honest Amish balm have basically the same ingredients, so I assumed it didn't make any difference which one I use and when. Thanks for pointing out the difference in your other videos! I honestly though that the point of beard oil was just to make a beard look shiny. I'm watching you're "Top 5 Beard Mistakes To Avoid" next.
Always happy to help!
Hello Dan C, great beard.
I’m at the 6” mark and use mainly jojoba oil. A half dropper full two or three times a day although once or twice a week I emulsify a little coconut oil which I add to the jojoba oil.
Keep encouraging the beard community Dan you do a great job.
Thank you.
Thank you Steve!
Roughly a 5 inch beard. I am running a half dropper of Grave Before Shave. I believe I am using more than necessary, but still working everything out.
This channel has been helping so much!
Awesome brotha! Nothing wrong with trial and error 👊
Great video Dan.....my beard is right around the same lengh as yours and I use about as much oil as you do.
Perfect!
Really good way to lay it out! I definitely was using a bit too much in the early days when I thought more is better! It was a really oily mess that would get on my shirts etc. I dialed it back some and then really got in tune with it more, when I found this channel!
Really important topic here!
@@DanCBearded Especially for people new to the field of care! As men we typically go more is better ha ha.
I'm trying oil only for awhile to see how it works out. The 30 minute rule is good to know, thanks Dan.
Hello Dan. I just stopped by to say great video brother.
Thank you Sonny!! Truly appreciated 👊
I'm new to the channel, I love your videos and I'm going through the new bears play list, it's helping me a lot because I haven't been maintaining my beard until I found out this thing needs some stuff! Though I have a short beard and I use about 3 drops, however I see I've been using too little. So I'm gonna up it to 5 drops and see how it is tomorrow. Thank you again for your wisdom!
awesome to hear Ben!
Beard is 7” long and I use a full dropper. My beard is primarily grey which seems to make it soak up oil much easier than normal. I did your test and just as I thought, dry hands. Thanks for continuing to educate us Dan. You’re awesome!👊
You're welcome brotha, thank you for the support!
Hello Dan C, I have found your videos and content extremely helpful. You sir are a true fountain of knowledge! I began my beard journey last year and I can honestly say that I have used too much oil. I have previously learned about the quarter rule and attempt to adhere to that as much as possible. My beard length now is approximately 7-8 inches. On a side note, I’m using the Honest Amish Pure and cannot wait to get my hands on some of the premium. Thank you for all that you do fellow Beardsman 💪🏻🧔♂️
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tip brother. I never actually thought about how much oil or balm im using
I'm glad it was good food for thought 👊
Hey Dan! I just want to say that I was NOT going to subscribe to your channel, I never do that, and not because of the content itself, most of the times the content is great, like yours! I just don't like those notifications flying around all the time. But.. when I looked up the comments section and saw that you had actually answered EACH ONE OF THE COMMENTS, exactly the way you promised on the video, I got REALLY, REALLY surprised, and this is where you got my true admiration. I'm glad to be your subscriber now, thanks!
Oh man, that is awesome! I really appreciate that! It is not easy to keep up with the comments, but I truly enjoy it. I try to do my best! Thank you for the support of the channel and I look forward to hearing more from you!
Awesome video Dan! My beard is 3 inches and honestly it depends on what oil i use. I have differnt oils from different companies. So it all depends on what i use. Normally between 5 to 8 drops. Thanks for the great video man. Keep up the amazing work man its greatly appreciated
Absolutely spot on Ben!
Good info. I actually use almost a full dropper and its perfect even though my beard is shorter than yours. Feels perfect. My beard absolutely gulps the oil up. Have a good one brother 👊
Hey Terry! Grey/white/silver beards certainly require a little more oil, so that sounds spot on!
I have a short beard (mostly grey) and use about a dime size oil in my hand. I finally got my wife on-board and I’m going to continue to grow. Your videos have been very helpful for my journey and thank you for all that you do.
That's awesome to hear!
I'm in the process of growing out my beard again. I'm looking at about 2-3 inches right now. I use about half a dropper.
These are all great nuggets of wisdom. I'll have to try that 30 minute timer test. I ruined several shirts from too much oil the last time I grew a longer beard. It looks like you've managed to respond to every comment, not sure how you've managed to do that with this kind of response! You are doing great!
Stay positive and give yourself a break (the tagline for my new channel that you and Scuba helped inspire me to start). 😎
Awesome brotha!
Video was great. My beard is the longest I've ever had. Its about 8 inches and I use 1 1/2 droppers. After the video I figured out im using to much oil. Thank you for the information. Keep it coming bro.
Perfect, I hope it helped!
I’ve been using way too much oil & didn’t even realize it thanks for the great tips
You’re welcome Eric!
Beard length right now, 7". Usually between 12 to 15 drops for me. Another great video and info, trusted Teacher!
Sounds spot on!
My beard is around 7 to 8 inches n I use around a dropper full. I'm going to try you to much test this evening. Great information once again Dan.
Thanks Thad!
Bruh your beard is epic 💯🤟🏾
Thanks man, I appreciate that!!
3 inch beard. 1 dropper. Seems to work well. I appreciate your videos. Thanks.
Awesome!
I'm new to it the beard seen and I'm two months in. Thanks for all the help Dan c
That's awesome! Let me know if you have any questions Casey 👊
So glad I listened tonight because I think I've been using too much, have a couple little pimples. Loving the videos found you through beardtube guy. Mainly for what products to use to start and have a nice healthy beard
@@caseydailey4891 oh very cool!
thank you for your video, this helped me with my beard! my beard is 14cm and i was using way too much oil, thank you :)
1000th like! love the video
Thank you so much brotha!
Enjoyed Bruh
Fantastic!
Tomorrow begins my journey in not overusing beard products! cheers!!
3 inches
10-12 drops of oil
Great video and info sir. I’ll have to start doing the 30 minute test to see if that’s too much oil. Appreciate your videos and knowledge
Great! Thanks Jason 👊
For my 6" beard I use a full dropper. Which seems to be perfect for my beard. Doesn't feel or look greasy.
I use a little bit less oil in the evening just before I apply beard butter.
Sounds perfect!
Excellent video mate. My beard is 5” straight down. I use about 10 drops that seems to do the trick. I figured out the use in moderation from not really knowing a few years back and would use a whole dropper. Was a nightmare every time I would take a call my cell would be all oily and if I touched my beard oily mitts. So like you said trial and error. I halved the dropper and that was still a bit too much so I kept halving until my beard was happy. And with the increase in length of my beard now I’m at ten drops or there abouts. Great seeing you mate speak soon. Jax.
Awesome comment and love hearing the journey!
Never realized how many of my beard struggles were caused by using way too much oil. Just about cut my usage in half and it made a world of difference. My beard is so much lighter and doesn't get nearly as matted
That’s awesome to hear!!
Thanks for the 411 always appreciated
You're welcome!
Dan C Bearded I wear face mask for 8 to 10 hrs a day and it’s drying up my beard does anyone have any tips ?

Ted from Canada . New to your channel You have lots of information. And I have learned a lot about beard Care. Exploring beard oils beard Butter and other things giving me lots of information. Thank you very much
Oh awesome Ted! Welcome to the channel 🤝
What's your opinion on the product called beard?
@@tedmerling2762 I’m not familiar with
Great video Dan as usual, i got a short beard probably 2" or even less.
I got this product from a local company called Devils Beard Co. and they provided me with a beard oil and a beard growther as they call it, so my usual routine is to mix 6-8 drops of each bottle in my hand and apply it to my beard in the morning and later on in the evening only if i am planning to go out or after taking a shower.
I also got a beard palm which i apply morning on top of the beard oil, i don't like it much though because it tend to make my beard greasy and i noticed it makes my hand skin dry after a couple of hours.
Hello, brother in beard :) Nice video, thank you for it! My beard game is dead in these days, cause we have to wear respirators almost everywhere in the Czech Republic :( But when this fckin covid will be gone (hope soon), I'll define definitively come back for your tips. Meanwhile stay healthy, save and bearded! Cheers!
Length of beard: 4.5in
Oil: About half a dropper
I used to use too much oil and I stopped using it cause I thought it left my beard too oily. I decided to start using less and I hit the sweet spot. I have started letting my beard grow longer now and started using a bit more than before. After seeing this video I tried the 30 minute test and it feels soft but not oily at all. Great video!
I'm at 3 inches or so right now. I use about half a dropper. My beard is never greasy. Great video! 🤜
Beautiful my brotha!
Love the vide as always brother, have you ever heard of or used Arlo's beard oil before?
Thank you! And yes, I reviewed them here: ua-cam.com/video/1avxPoa4bX4/v-deo.html
Your videos are great and filled with so much valued content. My beard is at 6in currently. I did my routine(cowash, cold rinse) and used three droppers, which to my eye was a quarter. Came back in 5min, blow dry, brush/comb. Checked in 30min and did not have grease palms. I thought it was too much, but it was right. I think cause of my “porosity” but also I noticed my dropper only fills up about half way of the whole dropper. That may play a part to it as well.
Oh awesome!
6 inch beard. I use about a half dropper or between nickel and quarter size. I can tell 30-60 minutes after if I used too much or too little. Great video! 👍🏻
That's perfect!
Length 9 3/4
One full dropper full, maybe a little extra depending on weather- dryer hotter weather use a little more oil, rainy days/ humid i use almost a full dropper.
As always, Dan C you rock!!!
Thanks Tim!
I’m about half a dropper. But my beard is also one that really absorbs well. I have fairly coarse hair. Because of this I can trick myself into over oiling because how well it will take the first round of oil. But after I blow dry I might take 2 or 3 drops more and just hit the outside again to get it good. No more or it’s a mess. Great video Dan.
Thank you!!
Thanks Dan.
Short beard, and i use 5-6 drops 2x daily. I've actually noticed a decease in beard acne since using beard oil. The couple of problems I did have, actually cleared up much quicker with the use of oil vs. before using the oil.
That’s so awesome!
Great video, I have a five inch beard. I use half to three quarters of a dropper. I was reapplying a couple more times a day, light bulb went off about three months ago now one application in the morning and butter at night.
Awesome brotha!
I have what you consider a “business beard” and I use about 1/4 dropper after the shower, wait about 7 to 12 minutes (while doing other things of course) then I add another 3 drops with an unscented butter (I have more oils than combos). Thanks for the video Dan, stay blessed my friend.
Sounds like you have your routine down!
First of all, thanks for this video. I’ve been wondering about some of this stuff for a while. My beard is pretty short, since it’s back down to around the 2-3 month mark. I seem to have very high porosity, and I use about 1/4 of a standard dropper. I don’t how much that is drop wise, but I can usually estimate. I never really have a greasy feel, and my beard always feels great, so I think I’m doing something right.
Absolutely doing it right!
Well well well, turns out, I’ve been using way too much oil! My nest is about half the size of yours and I’ve been using a full dropper, sometimes a bit more and I’ve been having some trouble styling it. Just tried 10 drops and boom, result. Nice one Dan C.
Excellent work, Dan! Curly White 4" beard. 6 or 7 drops. Another check: I apply drops to my fingers, and rub them together. After spreading the oil on my skin and beard, my fingers may feel a bit oily, but not look oily or greasy. Comb down touching skin all the way, up, then down again but straight down past jawline. Acetate (Kent) comb should show no oil. Wood comb may benefit from rubbing between fingers or palms, and again no oily look or feel. I figure anything left on my hands or comb was too much for my beard.
Great add ons with observations to check, thank you Leo!
Much love brother Dan C!!! Did you do one about using too much butter?!
Not yet, but I will be!
~ 16" in length by your measurment instructions. About a quarter size pool of beard oil in my palm. Sometimes I get too much (feels greasy an hour or so later) Sometimes not enough (feals dry 15 min later) I DIY my beard oil. Grapeseed and/or coconut oil as the carrier, tea trea oil and various essential oils for the scent. Was looking for beard comb and brush information as I need to replace what I'm using and went down a beard video rabbit hole. Watched several of your videos tonight. Very informative, thank you.
Thanks Doc!!
1 of these days When I hit my beard with the blow dryer I should go ahead and give it a measure 🤙 Love the videos Dan keep em coming brother!
Please do!
My beard is some were in the three to five area. I use about a dropper full, but like you I use last what I'm using honest Amish. If I'm putting beer jelly then I'll do about a nickel-size.
another way you can tell throughout the day if you have too much product is after making a phone call and then looking at your screen and noticing some oily spots.
