Doing Your Bit for Decembeard? Here's How to Keep it Trim

For many, December is the month of Christmas, but for others it’s the hairiest month of the year!

Decembeard is approaching and it’s time to help raise awareness and money for the fight against bowel cancer. The idea is to start growing your beard out from December 1^st and see how long you can get it.

Already have an impressive set of facial hair? Don’t worry as you can ditch it to start again, dye or decorate it!

If you’re having a clean shave to start afresh ready for December, you’ll need these shaving and men's grooming essentials to get your started.

Shaving Foam & Gel

For the closest shave possible, you’ll need to use razors, and with them you’ll need to apply some shaving foam or gel first.

Here at B&M, we have a variety of foams, including Nivea Sensitive Gel which protects your skin from irritation.

If you prefer foam, this Gillette Foam 200ml is another superb option due to its ease of application to the irregular contours of your jaw and chin.

Razors

With Duracomfort blades, the Gillette Mach3 razor could be the top choice for you. Provides a close shave without leaving redness on your skin, and continues to be smooth on the 10^th use.

If you’d prefer something a little cheaper with more than one razor in the pack, pick the BiC Flex4 Razors.

With four blades, it gives you a comfortable and clean shave.

For more styling options, why not try the BaByliss 8-in-1 Grooming Kit? Complete with guides for different cut lengths, providing ultimate precision.

If you know someone who’s thinking of taking part in Decembeard, but just needs a little push, this Deluxe Grooming Kit could be a great gift! Including a rotary shaver, six-blade trimmer and a nose and ear trimmer for closer precision.

So, will you take part in Decembeard? Shave your beard off and start from scratch for December!
