Thread: A couple days growth question

The heavier growth just makes it harder to properly hydrate the beard, make sure you use plenty of warm moist lather and let it soak for a while; and it would not hurt to wash your face before hand. Washing removes the natural oils and waxes that coat the hair and this makes it easier to hydrate. Unhydrated hair is roughly equivelent to copper wire of the same diameter. A sharp steel razor will cut it, but it will pull quite a bit.
