Beard Kits: What You Need to Know

A beard grooming kit contains a variety of different products all designed to help you take care of your beard. No two kits are exactly alike, although most will contain a combination of:

  • Beard Oils
  • Beard Balms​​​​
  • Beard Shampoos / Washes
  • Beard Conditioners
  • Beard Brushes / Combs
  • Beard-related products

Each brand of beard care kits contain different types of products. Comparing kits can sometimes be challenging because you’re not always comparing the same exact stuff. Here’s some info to help you find the best kit for your needs.

Why Do You Need a Beard Care Kit?

Without proper care, your beard will likely be itchy, coarse and wild-looking. You’ll need to make sure your beard is properly nourished and moisturized. Plus, you’ll need a comb or brush designed specifically for beards. Beard kits contain a variety of different beard care products in one box, case or bag.

Beard care kits have both advantages and disadvantages.

Most kits contain everything you need to keep your beard looking and feeling great. All the products are made by the same manufacturer, which helps product compatibility and synergy. The shampoo is designed to work with the conditioner which works with the wax and so on.

The disadvantage of a beard kit is you might not always want or need every product in the bundle. If you just need a beard brush, you might not want a kit with combs, shampoo and conditioner. You don’t want to pay for a bunch of products you’ll never use.

Buying a Beard Kit vs Buying Specific Products

While the costs won’t break the bank, beard care kits also aren’t exactly cheap.

The least expensive kits will run you about forty bucks while high-end kits can be $100 or more.

So, is buying a beard kit a good deal -- or are you better off buying the products separately?

There are very few items which are exclusive to a beard kit. Almost everything will be available for individual purchase. There are few factors to consider here.

If there’s only one product in the kit which you absolutely love, you might want to just buy it separately. For instance, a quality beard brush will likely last for years, which is much longer than a bottle of shampoo or tin of wax will last.

While the specifics of particular brands will vary, in the majority of casesbuying a kit is a better value than buying each item individually. On average, you’ll save at least ten bucks – and many times you’ll save even more.

Suppose you find a kit you’re considering. Each product in the kit will be easy to identify. Simply check out the cost of each item separately. In most cases you’ll find the kit has greater value.

BUY A BEARD KIT IF:

  • You need several products - usually it's cheaper
  • You like the brand
  • You're buying a gift
  • It contains a long lasting item (brush)

DON'T BUY A BEARD KIT IF:

  • You need a single product
  • It doesn't contain the basic products, such as beard oil, shampoo, etc.

How to Choose a Beard Kit?

There are four major factors you should consider when buying a beard kit:

  • The products in the kit
  • The style of the kit
  • The brand
  • The cost

Most kits will probably contain a combination of hygiene and style products. Common products include beard shampoo, conditioner,waxesand oils. These will keep your beard clean, soft, shiny and healthy. You should always get products specifically designed for facial hair. Look for ingredients such as jojoba, argan, grapeseed and coconut oil.

Pay attention to your specific needs. If you have a thick, tangled beard you’ll want a boar’s hair beard brush. Boar’s hair carriessebum oil throughout your beard. Sebum is a natural oil produced by your body which helps keeping hair from drying out and itch.

Also, pay attention to the brand behind the kit. If you’re not happy with the kit, what return or refund policy is available? What types of ingredients and methods does the brand use to create the products?

Style and Design

Beard kits are designed to be seen. Each kit contains a box, bag or travel pouch. The specific style depends on the brand. You can find everything from low-key, contemporary travel bags to bold, colorful boxes. For many people, the style of the packaging is a major reason why buying a kit is preferable to buying the products individually.

If you’re giving the kit as a gift, you’ll want something in line with the recipient’s personal style. Some kits have flashy graphics and a modern style. Other kits are made from wood or otherwise have a classic style. Still other kits use an old-fashioned burlap bag for that mountain man look. If you plan to travel a lot with your kit, you’ll want something durable and portable.

Best Beard Kits - Reviews

I have reviewed 10 beard kits - usually I don't recommend so many products at once, but I think beard kits are somewhat different. Each kit is different, so having a variety of products to choose from will be very helpful.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Arriving from high atop Mount Olympus (okay, not really), Zeus Deluxe Beard Grooming Kit is ready to give your beard a lightning charge. This kit includes Dragon’s Blood shampoo, Zeus Conditioner Wash, Beard Oil and a brush.

The kit itself is packaged in a sophisticated burlap bag. All the product packages are black with the energetic Zeus logo.

In-Package Review

1. Verbena Lime (soft vanilla with citrus).
2. Sandalwood (spicy wooden with light vanilla).
3. Vanilla Rum (creamy vanilla with a woodsy base).

KIT VS SEPARATE PURCHASE

The shampoo in the kit is amazing. If you’re only interested in the shampoo, you might be better off purchasing the product separately. But the kit is actually very stylish as well. The beard brush is great as well.

You'll save 10-15$ if you buy the kit compared to buying products separately. That's a great save.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

All the products in the kit work together to soften and hydrate your beard, making this kit a great choice for anyone with a rough, coarse beard. Also a great option for anyone suffering from beard itch, beardruff or have a sensitive skin.

While the individual components are great, the complete package of the kit is well-designed and sophisticated. The kit is perfect as a gift.

VERDICT

Ka-boom! There’s a lot to like about the Zeus Deluxe kit. The shampoo is a very effective at treating beard and skin itch. Plus, the boar’s brush is top-of-the-line. If you or someone you know wants an all-around high-quality kit – or is just a fan of ancient gods – the Zeus Deluxe kit provides heavenly care for your beard.

THE GOOD

  • Oil is ideal for dry and coarse beards
  • All products are organic with no harsh chemicals or additives
  • Free organic body soap

THE BAD

  • No bag or box

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Would you rather die before shaving off your beard? This might be the kit for you. First off, this kit has a style all its own. With a black-and-white bearded skeleton, each product has a cool, pirate style sure to appeal to many bearded guys who like to play by their own rules.

IN-PACKAGE REVIEW

Beard Brush:100% Pure wild boar bristle with a bamboo handle. It's a stiff brush which will stimulate the hair follicles.
Beard Balm (2 oz):The balm will tame your beard and reduce those pesky flyaway and unruly hairs, while deeply conditioning and protecting your beard.
Beard Shampoo (6 oz):You only need a drop from this shampoo. It will eliminate beard itch and beardruff. It has a very light scent.
Beard Oil (1 oz):ContainsTea Tree Oil, Pure Apricot Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin E. These quality ingredients will make your beard soft, hydrate and nourish it. The oil has a bay rum scent.

I didn't like the fact that there's no packaging for the products. If you plan to buy this one as a gift, you'll need to package it.

KIT vs SEPARATE PURCHASE

If you like the Grave Before Shave brand, you’ll want this kit. Purchasing each product separately costs more than simply purchasing the kit. However, as mentioned before, there’s no actual bag or box. Items are simply bundled together, which hinders the fun a bit.

if you’re interested in everything offered, buying the kit will save you about 8$.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

Men with an itchy, sensitive skin often report great success with the Grave Before Shave products. The balm has a Sweet Almond oil which soothes the skin while also wrangling stray beard hears. Plus, the bold Grave Before Shave style means these products stand out on your bathroom shelf or anywhere else.

VERDICT

Ahoy, mateys! Grave Before Shave has made a quality kit you’ll want to consider plundering. The cool pirate and skull graphics stand out from the competition. But this kit is about more than just looks.

The GBS wash, oil and balm will keep your skin as smooth and itch free. While the bold pirate imagery won’t appeal to everyone, there are certainly many guys who will find this kit very “arr-pealing.”

THE GOOD

  • Complete beard kit suitable for any length & type of beard
  • Boar’s hair brush perfect for the thickest beards
  • Bag is stylish & portable

THE BAD

  • No beard wash, shampoo or conditioner

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Wizards in movies and literature are well-known for their full, lush beards. The Wizard Beard grooming kit includes a variety of products for beard care and maintenance. Note this is a kit geared only towards styling and moisturizing.

IN-PACKAGE REVIEW

Beard Brush: Boar's hair brush with a sandalwood frame. With this brush you can easily brush your beard without scratching your skin.
Beard Wax (2 oz): Contains Shea butter, Emu oil, Argan oil and Vitamin E. These are great ingredients that will nourish and style your beard.
Beard Comb:A sandalwood made comb. It's static free with wide teeth which makes it great for the most thickest beards. With its compact size you can carry it with you.
Beard Oil (2 oz): Contains Aloe Vera, Jojoba oil and Vitamin E. The oil is all natural and scentless. It will absorb quickly into your beard.

For a kit with a theme based on magic, the science behind these products is surprisingly solid. Argan oil, Jojoba oil and Vitamin E all nourish and protect both skin and hair. Regular use will keep your beard soft while reducing skin itchiness.

Note: The wax contains Emu oil, if you're vegan that might not be the best choice for you.

KIT vs SEPARATE PURCHASE

If you like the Grave Before Shave brand, you’ll want this kit. Purchasing each product separately costs more than simply purchasing the kit. However, as mentioned before, there’s no actual bag or box. Items are simply bundled together, which hinders the fun a bit.

if you’re interested in everything offered, buying the kit will save you about 8$.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

The products included in the Wizard kit are high-quality but sparse. You get a brush, comb, wax and oil. Unfortunately, shampoo, conditioner and beard wash are NOT included. Purchasing the full kit will save you some money compared to buying each ingredient separately. If you're on the look for a beard comb, brush and wax then this is the perfect kit for you. These will probably last you for a long time. You'll also get a beard oil which is something you gotta have anyways.

If you decide to buy this kit you’ll also need to buy a beard shampoo. I'm pretty sure that LOTR and The Hobbit fans will find this kit great.

VERDICT

Unfortunately, shampoo and conditioning products seem to have disappeared from the Wizard Grooming Beard Kit. That said, the comb, brush, oil and wax are quite magical. You’ll be able to transform any unruly, course beard into a soft, well-styled beard worth of Gandalf himself.

If you aren't 100% satisfied with this kit, there's a money back guarantee, no questions asked.

THE GOOD

  • Full sized bottles, will last for a long time
  • Durable, portable travel bag with a sleek, contemporary style
  • All ingredients are certified 100% organic

THE BAD

  • Comb isn’t very effective at managing longer, thicker beards

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The DapperGanger folks describe their beard kit as “a seriously badass beard care kit” and I agree. The kit includes a bit of everything. Aside from the beard oil, wash and balm you also get scissors and a comb. The bag is durable, portable and has a classic look with a light gray color.

IN-PACKAGE REVIEW

Beard Shampoo (8 oz): Contains Coconut, Lavender oil, Aloe Vera and more. It has a citrusy scent and will soften your beard.
Beard Balm (2 oz):A bit stiff can take some time to melt.
Metal Comb:Stainless steel. Doubles as a key chain bottle opener. Don't expect wonders from this comb if you have a thick beard.
Beard Oil (2 oz): Contains Sunflower, Almond, Avocado and other essential oils. Has a lemony scent. Effective at reducing beard itch.
Grooming scissors:Stainless steel sturdy scissors, great for a quick trim.

There’s a lot of stuff in this kit to like here. All the bottles are full-sized. Plus, all the ingredients in their products are 100% organic.

KIT vs SEPARATE PURCHASE

You can't buy the products separately, but still, the kit itself is a real standout here. Durable and stylish, this is an excellent kit for travel and home. Plus, the individual products all have a unique style. This kit is more than the sum of its parts.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

Between the scissors, bottle opener/comb and beard products, DapperGanger’s kit makes an excellent gift for the party animal in your life. All the products are non-toxic, natural and contain no GMOs. They’re great for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies.

VERDICT

A lot of beard kits contain the same basic ingredients. DapperGanger stands out on pure uniqueness. We’ve never seen a comb which doubles as a bottle opener! If you’re looking for a fun gift, this is a great option.

THE GOOD

  • Included eBook provides beard growing info for beard newbies
  • Wide-tooth wooden comb perfect for thick, full beards
  • Cheap

THE BAD

  • Kit contains only beard oil & comb

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Designed for serious beard guys, the Prophet and Tools kit claims to help beards of any length and age “look perfect.” While perfect is a pretty bold claim, there’s a lot to like here. This is one of the few kits I’ve found which is designed to promote beard growth, making it great for guys who are just starting their beard journey.

This kit is more about quality than quantity. The wooden beard comb has a classic look. With wide teeth, it’s perfect for even the thickest tangles. While the Beard Care eBook probably won’t be appealing to veteran beard growers, those new to the beard game will love the helpful (if a bit basic) tips.

IN-PACKAGE REVIEW

Wooden Comb:With wide teeth, perfect for even the thickest tangles.
Beard Oil (2 oz):All natural unscented beard oil. ContainsVitamin E Oil, Aloe Vera Oil, Chamomile Oil, Jojoba Oil.

The beard oil is the star of the show. Designed to heal and strengthen, this oil moisturizes, treats split ends, add shine and – best of all – helps promote faster growth. You don’t see a lot of growth enhancement products in beard kits, so Prophet and Tools get big points here.

KIT vs SEPARATE PURCHASE

The comb and eBook are great for guys with new beards who don’t have any great beard maintenance equipment. But because this kit is light on products, many guys might actually prefer to purchase the oil separately.

If you already have a comb you like and know a bit about beard care, the kit itself probably won’t be as useful as simply buying the oil on its own.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

On one hand this is a great kit for anyone new to the world of beards. The oil promotes beard growth (1-3 drops is all you need) while the eBook provides valuable beard-care information.

On the other hand, if you're just starting out growing your beard the comb won't help you much. I would recommend this kit for those already have a beard, otherwise just buy the oil if you want to try it out.

VERDICT

The Prophet and Tools Beard Oil and Comb kit makes the perfect gift. While veteran beard growers might be better suited with a more comprehensive kit, beard beginners can buy the beard oil separately.

THE GOOD

  • Full-sized product bottles
  • Two fresh-smelling shampoos
  • Eye-catching pinewood box

THE BAD

  • No comb or brush

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Many beard kits contain only travel-size products. The problem is that long, thick beards need more than just small bottles. Beardsley’s travel kit gives you full-size care with eight-ounce bottles of shampoo and conditioner.

The kit includes two shampoos, conditioner, beard oil and beard lotion. Everything is packaged in a light-colored pinewood box with dimensions of 12 by 9 by 3 inches.

IN-PACKAGE REVIEW

Beard Shampoo (8 oz) x 2:Wild berry andCantaloupe. Both shampoos are specifically designed for the needs of facial hair. They each have a light, pleasant scent – nothing overpowering.
Beard Conditioner (8 oz): Only a small amount is needed. Using after applying shampoo, will keep your beard soft.
Beard Oil (4 oz):Great for daily usage. Contains Sunflower Seed oil, Aloe Vera oil.
Beard Lotion(4 oz): Apply last, has a cool aromatic Bay Run scent

KIT vs SEPARATE PURCHASE

The kit contains the basic products needed for beard care. If you’re serious about your beard health, you’d likely buy a shampoo, conditioner, oil and lotion. However, you might not necessarily buy two separate bottles of shampoo.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

This kit is for the clean & fresh lovers.
If you like to vary up the type of beard shampoo you use, you’ll love the two shampoos this kit offers.

This is a great choice for guys who already have a fully-grown beard. The kit contains no products related to beard growth. Also, you’ll like this kit if you already have a set of beard combs, because no combs are included.

VERDICT

This is a subdued, sophisticated kit which makes an excellent gift. With an overall emphasis on beard hygiene, the two shampoos and conditioner will have your beard smelling, feeling and looking great.

10 Best Beard Grooming Kits - All Your Beard Care Needs In 1 Product (19)10 Best Beard Grooming Kits - All Your Beard Care Needs In 1 Product (20)

THE GOOD

  • High-quality beard oil
  • All-natural ingredients
  • Beard oil has two scents

THE BAD

  • Brush is not the same quality as the other products

GENERAL OVERVIEW

When you hear the word “mountaineer,” what do you think of? Most people probably think of the wild, wooly look of a mountain man. But don’t worry – the products in this kit create a refined look appropriate for civilized society.

Instead of a box, the kit is shipped in a unique burlap bag. Inside the bag is a beard wash, beard oil, beard balm and a beard brush. The oval, military-style brush is a bit different than what you’ll find in most kits.

IN-PACKAGE REVIEW

Beard Wash(4 oz):The wash lathers up great. It's made from a mild, organic Castile soap base with all natural essential oils added.
Beard Balm(2 oz):The beard balm is available in 3 different scents:Grapefruit, Lime, and Fir Needle.
Beard Oil (2 oz):High quality beard oil.Available in two different scents: Cedarwood and Fir Needle. Both are fresh-smelling without being overpowering.
Beard Brush:A cruelty free brush.

All products are 100% free from artificial ingredients and chemicals.

KIT vs SEPARATE PURCHASE

The Beard Oil is considered one of the best around. So, there’s certainly a reason to consider buying the oil separately. But the kit itself is a stylish package. The durable bag is great for either yourself or any “mountain man” in your life.

You will save around 10$ when buying the kit.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

The wash, balm, oil and brush provide everything needed to keep your beard lush, soft and healthy.

Because all the essential are here, this kit is an excellent gift for anyone with a relatively new beard. Also a good choice for anyone who doesn’t have any beard maintenance tools or products but wants an all-in-one beard bare kit.

VERDICT

The Mountaineer kit is great for any guy with a beard – not just folks who live alone in the mountains. The fresh-smelling, gentle wash, oil and balm keep your beard itch-free and full. Perfect for taming even the wildest beards!

THE GOOD

  • Great for beard trimming & maintenance
  • Nice, contemporary kit box

THE BAD

  • Kit contains no beard wash or shampoo

GENERAL OVERVIEW

This is an attractive, masculine kit perfect to give as a gift. Aside from the great style, the products in this kit both nourish beards while also providing plenty of styling options. The kit is designed with an eye towards complete beard maintenance.

IN-PACKAGE REVIEW

Stainless Steel Scissors:Stainless steel give these scissors durability. You get control when trimming your beard.
Beard Comb (5” long):Wide and thin teeth for coarse & fine hair.
Beard Oil (1 oz):100% organic beard oil made of organic Argan oil and Jojoba oil. Scentless.
Beard Brush:Boar brush made from natural wood.

Style and maintenance meets the Beard Legacy kit. First, take care of your beard with the organic beard oil. which softens beard hair and relieves itchiness.

Then you can style your beard with the stainless-steel scissors and boar’s hair brush. The comb is plastic, which can pull at your hair and irritate your skin.

KIT vs SEPARATE PURCHASE

The black kit and synthetic leather pouch are both pretty nice. If you want a kit for styling and grooming, this is a solid purchase. The brush and scissors are high quality and durable. On the other hand, the plastic comb isn’t a good tool for most serious beard care. You likely won’t want to use the comb, but the overall value of the kit is still high.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

This kit is best for maintaining and grooming your beard. Beard shampoo and conditioning products must be purchased separately. But if you’re looking for a portable kit to trim and style, this is a great choice.

10 Best Beard Grooming Kits - All Your Beard Care Needs In 1 Product (23)10 Best Beard Grooming Kits - All Your Beard Care Needs In 1 Product (24)

THE GOOD

  • Two scented beard oils
  • Grandpa’s Pine Tar Beard Soap is perfect for travel
  • Unique switchblade beard comb you won’t find anywhere else

THE BAD

  • Kit has no unique bag or box
  • Contains no beard wash or shampoo

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Grave Before Shave has risen once again to provide yet another beard kit in their distinct style. This beard pack still features the brand’s skull-and-pirate themed logo, sure to please the many GBS fans. Also returning is the signature Bay Rum scent.

If you’re already familiar with Grave Before Shave brand, you’ll likely be pleased with this beard kit. But those new to the brand are also likely to find plenty to like here as well.

IN-PACKAGE REVIEW

Beard Oil (1 oz) x 2: 2 beard oils, viking blade and bay rum scents.
Grandpa’s Pine Tar Soap (1.25 oz):High quality soap.
Beard Comb:Switchblade metal comb.

The Bay Rum has a lightly spiced-rum and coconut scent. The Viking blend is much more subtle, with just a hint of Tea tree mint. The Grandpa’s soap has an earthy, campfire smell which is rugged and masculine.

The main selling point of the kit is the switchblade beard comb. Is this the best beard comb on the market? No way. The teeth are short and the comb isn’t sturdy enough for thick beards. But this is the only comb I know of which is built like a switchblade! Certainly, many guys out there are (rightfully) going to find that to be extremely cool.

KIT vs SEPARATE PURCHASE

To be honest, there’s not much in the way of a kit here. Each item is wrapped separately. There’s no special beard bag or box. Seems like a bit of a missed opportunity considering the unique logo and style of the GBS brand.

However, the kit is also the easiest way to get the switchblade comb. If you’re buying this as a gift, you’ll probably want to just purchase the kit. But you might want to also buy your own box or bag to put the items in.

WHO IS IT BEST FOR?

Fans of Grave Before Shave’s style are going to love this kit. But beyond the looks, there are two great beard oils here. If you’re looking for GBS beard oils, this package is a great value. Purchasing the two bottles in the kit is cheaper than purchasing each bottle separately.

Also, you can't ignore the unique switchblade comb. There’s not much middle ground here: People will either love it or just roll their eyes.

VERDICT

If you know someone who will find the switchblade beard comb to be the height of cool, then this kit is an excellent gift. Otherwise, you might be better off buying the beard oils separately. The Grave Before Shave Beard Kit has a potential audience which is likely limited but enthusiastic.

Final Thoughts on Buying a Beard Kit

Your beard reflects your personality and style. You want to use only the best products to groom and manage your beard at every stage of its growth. A kit is often an easy way to save some money while getting a variety of products which all work well together.

Plus, don’t overlook how great a kit can be as a gift for the bearded man in your life. Whether someone is first starting to grow a beard or is already a beard veteran, a kit provides a variety of cleaning and grooming products sure to please.

The kits listed above all have a lot to like, as well as some disadvantages. The key to finding the best kit for you is to understand your needs. What products do you already have and what do you still need? What brands create products you’ve enjoyed in the past? What kit designs appeal to your personal sense of style?

Whether for yourself or someone else, a beard kit is an easy way to keep your beard looking and feeling great. Best of luck with all of your beard care needs!

    Hi
    If you’re not taking care of your beard then a beard kit might help (it has all the products you need).
    That said a kit is not guaranteed to help with patchiness.
