CHAPTER 1: WHAT IS BEARD OIL AND WHY EVERY BEARDED MAN NEEDS IT
Beard oil is liquid gold. A carefully crafted blend of oils that hydrate, condition, and strengthen your beard while keeping the skin underneath from going full desert mode.
Beard Oil Benefits: Still on the fence? Let’s break it down. Here’s what happens when you start using beard oil regularly:
🔥 No More Itch – The #1 complaint from guys growing beards is the damn itch. That’s your skin crying out for hydration. Warlord Beard Oil shuts that down instantly.
🔥 Beardruff? Gone. – Flakes in your beard? Not a good look. Hydrated skin means no more beard dandruff.
🔥 Softer, More Manageable Beard – If your beard feels like steel wool, you’re doing it wrong. Beard oil keeps it soft, smooth, and touchable. She’ll love the way your beard feels too.
🔥 Stronger, Healthier Growth – A hydrated, well-nourished beard is a growing beard. If you want as thick of a beard as your genetics will allow, beard oil is your best friend.
🔥 It Smells Damn Good – Nobody wants to smell like stale sweat and yesterday’s lunch. A good beard oil keeps you smelling fresh.
🔥 Works for Any Length – Got a five o’clock shadow? A stubble beard? A glorious mane? Beard oil is for everyone. If you’ve got facial hair, you need this in your life. Period.
🔥 Pro Tip: Don’t fall for those “miracle beard growth serums” that promises a full thick beard no matter what. More on that here.
CHAPTER 2: WHAT’S IN BEARD OIL? THE INGREDIENTS THAT MATTER
Some brands cut corners with cheap fillers, while the real ones pack their formulas with premium-grade oils. There are a few brands, like us, that excel at this, and even more that don't. Do your research. Choose wisely.
What to Look for in a Quality Beard Oil
Not all beard oils are created equal. Here’s what separates the best from the rest:
✔ Premium Carrier Oils – Jojoba, Argan, Sweet Almond, Grapeseed. These are the MVPs of beard hydration.
✔ Essential Oils (Not Synthetic Garbage) – Real essential oils provide fragrance and skin benefits without the irritation of cheap artificial scents.
✔ No Fillers or Silicones – Cheap oils add fillers that do nothing for your beard. Stick with high-quality, natural ingredients.
✔ The Right Consistency – Not too thick, not too thin. It should absorb quickly without feeling greasy.
A quality beard oil is pure, potent, and packed with premium ingredients. Cheap oils water it down with fillers—don’t fall for that trash.
Daily beard oil routine – keeps your beard soft, your skin healthy, and your look on point.
CHAPTER 3: HOW TO USE BEARD OIL, THE RIGHT WAY
Using beard oil is easy, but there’s a right way to do it. Follow these steps, and you’ll never have a bad beard day again:
1. Start with a Clean Beard – Apply after a shower or after washing your beard with Warlord Beard Wash. Your pores are open, and your beard is primed for maximum absorption.
2. Use the Right Amount – A few drops, depending on length, is all you need. Don’t drown your beard in oil.
3. Rub It In Your Hands – Warm it up between your palms to evenly distribute.
4. Massage It Into Your Skin First – Get down to the roots. The skin under your beard needs it just as much as the hair does. Use the tips of your fingers.
5. Listen to me, THE OIL MUST REACH YOUR SKIN! THIS IS CRITICAL!
6. Work It Through Your Beard – Coat every strand from root to tip. Get in there! Don't be afraid to get knuckle deep in your beard!
7. Comb or Brush It In – This distributes the oil for max coverage and helps shape your beard. I personally use our Detangler Beard Brush.
🔥 Pro Tip: Apply beard oil in the morning and before bed (a little less than normal at bedtime) for 24/7 beard greatness.

CHAPTER 4: COMMON BEARD OIL MISTAKES (DON’T SCREW THIS UP)
Even the best beard oil won’t save you if you’re using it wrong. Here’s what not to do:
❌ Using Too Much – More isn’t always better. Greasy beards don’t impress anyone.
❌ Using Too Little – Brother, you have to find your personal sweet spot. Everyone is different. Experiment. If after application, you are still itching or notice flaking - USE MORE.
❌ Applying to a Dirty Beard – If your beard feels like a Brillo pad, wash it first, with Warlord Beard Wash.
❌ Ignoring the Skin Beneath – Healthy beards start at the skin. Work the oil all the way in. Read that again!
❌ Cheap Drugstore Oils – If the ingredients look like a science experiment, run.
🔥 Follow the process and your beard will stay looking legendary.
🔥 Pro Tip: Stay away from aggressive brushes that don’t penetrate your beard and get to your skin i.e. boar bristle brushes.
CHAPTER 5: HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST BEARD OIL FOR YOU
The Best Beard Oil Scents for Every Man
We have a beard oil scent for every kind of guy. Here’s how to find yours:
💀 The Classic Gentleman – If you like vintage barbershop vibes (think Floyd's Barbershop), go for Barbershop or Oxford (fresh, clean, and timeless).
💀 The Carpe Noctem Guy – Tonka bean, oakmoss and danger (think of the film noir movie Sunset Boulevard from 1950)? Dark 30 is your go-to.
💀 The Outdoorsman – Campfire smoke and fresh air? The intoxicating scent of mahogany? Apache and Rich Mahogany are built for you.
💀 The Southern Gentleman – Rich tobacco, warm honey, and nostalgia? Southern Tobacco is a legend.
💀 The Sophisticated One – Oud, spices, and depth? Oud Madera and 1880 deliver class and mystery.
💀 The No-Nonsense Guy – Just want the benefits without the scent? Naked is fragrance-free and all business.
If you aren’t sure, it’s all good. Check out Warlord’s Full Ruck Sample Pack and try them all. You'll find your occasional and signature scent in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
🔥 Pro Tip: Have multiple beard oils on deck. Different scents for different occasions.
Beard oil vs. beard balm – both do the job, but Warlord gives you the edge with handcrafted blends built for performance and style.
CHAPTER 6: BEARD OIL VS. BEARD BALM – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Both are essential weapons in your grooming arsenal, but they serve different purposes.
🔥 Beard Oil:
- Hydrates and softens
- Eliminates beard itch and beardruff
- Provides light styling control
- Absorbs quickly
🔥 Beard Balm:
- Also hydrates and softens
- Offers medium hold for styling
- Deep conditions with butters and waxes
- Best for thicker, longer beards
You can check out balms here.
If you have a longer beard or one that gets unruly, use both. Apply oil first, then balm to lock it all in place.
From beard oil to balm, mustache wax to solid cologne—Warlord delivers a complete grooming lineup for men who take pride in every detail.
FINAL THOUGHTS: THE POWER OF BEARD OIL
Beard oil isn’t just a grooming product—it’s a necessity. If you’ve got any kind of facial hair, from light stubble, to a full-grown masterpiece, beard oil is the key to making it look and feel its best.
There’s a reason men don’t skip it. It keeps your beard soft, your skin healthy, and your whole look on point. And when you use Warlord Beard Oil, you’re not just taking care of your beard—you’re carrying on a tradition of strength, confidence, and badassery.
💀 Don’t half-ass your beard. Treat it right.
