CHAPTER 2: What’s in Beard Oil? (Ingredients That Actually Matter)
Some brands pack their bottles with cheap filler junk. Warlord doesn’t.
What to Look for in Beard Oil: ✔ Premium Carrier Oils (Jojoba, Argan, Sweet Almond, Grapeseed, Castor)
✔ Essential Oils – Real ones. Not lab-rat garbage.
✔ No Fillers or Silicones – If it sounds like a chemistry quiz, toss it.
✔ The Right Consistency – Absorbs quick. No greasy feel.
Your beard deserves real ingredients. Don’t settle for less.
🧠 Pro Tip: A high-quality beard oil nourishes both hair and skin, giving you that clean, conditioned, no-itch beard every damn day.
Southern Tobacco isn’t just beard oil, it’s a time machine back to the days when men worked hard, smoked fine tobacco, and left their mark on the world.
Bold Cavendish and Virginia tobaccos roll deep in this blend, rich with spice, warmth, and just a touch of smooth, honeyed sweetness. One whiff, and you’re back on the porch with your dad or grandpa, watching the smoke curl from his pipe as he passed down the kind of wisdom they don’t teach anymore.
This is tradition in a bottle. A scent of strength, heritage, and the kind of man who stands tall no matter what.
CHAPTER 3: How to Use Beard Oil (The Right Way)
You’d be shocked how many dudes mess this up. Here’s how to apply beard oil like a Warlord:
Start with a Clean Beard – Use after showering or washing with Warlord Beard Wash .
Use the Right Amount – A few drops. Don't soak it like a mop.
Rub Between Palms – Warm it up evenly.
Massage Into Skin First – THE OIL MUST REACH YOUR SKIN. Read that again.
Work Through Beard – Root to tip. You gotta go Knuckle Deep.
Brush It In – Use our Detangler Beard Brush for max coverage and shape.
🔥 Pro Tip: Apply in the morning and before bed. Bedtime use = overnight conditioning (use a tad less than normal at bedtime).
CHAPTER 4: Does Beard Oil Help With Growth?
Short answer? Hell yes, if it’s the right oil.
While beard oil can’t rewrite your DNA, it creates the perfect environment for healthy, full growth by:
Hydrating the skin and follicles
Preventing beard breakage and thinning
Reducing inflammation and dryness
If you want a thicker, healthier beard, start with daily application of quality beard oil like Southern Tobacco Beard Oil.
CHAPTER 5: Common Beard Oil Mistakes (Don’t Screw This Up)
❌ Using too much – Greasy ain’t badass. It’s sloppy and well...greasy.
❌ Using too little – Still itchy? Add more. You aren't using enough beard oil to get to your skin of you aren't distributing it effectively (see Ch. 3, numbers 4 and 6).
❌ Applying to a dirty beard – Wash first.
❌ Ignoring the skin – It’s where the beard begins, so that's where the beard oil should begin.
❌ Buying cheap beard oils – Don’t trust your face to corner store chemistry.
🔥 Pro Tip: Avoid stiff boar bristle brushes when applying the oil. They don't penetrate your beard to the skin (this is especially true with bigger, thicker beards) Go for skin-reaching detanglers or a comb.
CHAPTER 6: Choosing the Best Beard Oil Scent for You
Your scent is your statement. Here’s how to find yours:
- 💀 Classic Vibes? – Barbershop or Oxford
💀 Dark & Dangerous? – Dark 30
💀 Outdoorsman? – Apache or Rich Mahogany
💀 Southern Roots? – Southern Tobacco
💀 Sophisticated Rebel? – 1880 or Oud Madera
💀 Fragrance-Free? – Naked
CHAPTER 7: Beard Oil vs. Beard Balm (Know the Difference)
Here’s the straight truth on when to use each, and why your beard will thank you.
Traditional Beard Balm
Typically made with beeswax, butters (like shea), and carrier oils.
Balm is thicker because beeswax is the primary, base ingredient
Provides a strong hold for shaping the beard and taming stubborn flyaways
While beard balm does have moisturizing properties, that's not it's primary focus
Great for longer or wild beards that need structure and control
Basically, beard balm is for styling and maintaining that style.
Traditional Beard Butter:
- Made with butters and oils, usually no wax
Creamer and softer than traditional blams
Focuses on deep hydration and softness
Offers light to medium hold
It's primary purposes are moisturizing and conditioning
Our Take? The Hybrid
Warlord Beard Balm is a balm-butter hybrid, so you get the best of both:
Deep hydration from multiple nutrient-rich butters
A solid medium hold and styling power from beeswax
Has all of the benefits of our beard oils
So… Which One Do You Actually Need?
If your beard’s short to mid-length, and your main issues are itch, dryness, or rough texture:
👉 Go with Beard Oil.
If your beard’s got length, volume, or frizz, or you want some styling hold:
👉 Reach for Beard Balm.
You don’t need both. You need the one that matches your beard and your goals. That being said, some dudes, no matter their beard length, prefer our balm over our oil, and vice versa. Hell, some dudes use both at the same time and that's ok. It simply comes down to personal choice.
If you want hydration and control in one tin?
👉 Warlord Beard Balm . Done deal.
FINAL THOUGHTS: DON’T HALF-ASS YOUR BEARD
Beard oil isn’t a luxury. It’s a non-negotiable for any man who gives a damn.
A solid beard demands upkeep, and beard oil is your frontline defense against dryness, flakes, weak growth, and a scentless life.
And when you roll with Warlord, you’re not just grooming. You’re honoring the men who raised you, the stories they never told, and the legacy you’re still writing.
Own your beard. Own your presence. Own your legacy.
