10 Products to Keep Your Guy's Movember Beard In Check
With another Halloween behind us, it's time to kick off No-Shave November! The annual event, which also goes by the "Movember" moniker, is a month-long occasion where people are encouraged to ditch their razors and shaving cream for the next 30 days to raise cancer awareness and to donate toward the cause. If your guy is among the few growing out a beard to Grizzly Adams lengths, there's no reason he can't keep his new look well-groomed---or at least conditioned. In the spirit of Movember, we compiled a list of the best guys' grooming products made for taming that massive beard, or keeping his mustache in pristine form.

Tweezerman Moustache and Scissors Comb

The Soft Goat Scruff and Goatee Softener
Because facial hair is shaved off at an angle, the scruff can grow in at an equally-sharp point, which can leave your face feeling like you've just had mircrodermabrasion upon contact. A few quick passes of The Soft Goat's pad ($12 per box of three; thesoftgoat.com) will file down the edge, making each strand softer to the touch.

Jack Black's potion of salicylic and lactic acids ($25; sephora.com) help exfoliate away anything keeping the ingrown trapped under the skin, allowing each hair to reach its full glory.
