✨ A beard isn't just facial hair — it's a style statement, an expression of personality, and a daily commitment. Reuzel, the legendary brand from Rotterdam born inside Schorem Barbershop, didn't stop at pomades. With the same philosophy of authenticity and craftsmanship, they created a complete beard care line that honors the tradition of men's grooming.

✔️ From nourishing beard oils to styling balms and cleansing washes, every Reuzel product brings decades of barbershop expertise from Rotterdam to your daily routine. In this guide, you'll discover the secrets of proper beard care, the products that make a difference, and the rituals that transform grooming from a chore into a pleasure.

The Reuzel Philosophy in Beard Care ✨

When Leen and Bertus started Schorem Barbershop in Rotterdam, they had a vision: to revive the classic art of men's grooming. For them, beards were never a trend — they were part of the identity of a man who respects himself. Thus, Reuzel's expansion into beard products was a natural evolution of a philosophy that honors authenticity.

✔️ Reuzel's beard care line wasn't created in some laboratory far from reality. It was born inside the barbershop, by barbers who worked every day with beards of every type — from thick and curly to fine and sparse. Every formula was tested on real customers, improved with feedback from professionals, and perfected until it reached the level that Schorem demands.

"Beards need the same attention as hair — maybe even more. They're closer to the skin, more exposed to the environment, and directly reflect the health and care you give them."

✨ What makes Reuzel products stand out is the balance between tradition and innovation. They use ingredients that barbers have trusted for decades — like argan oil, jojoba, and vitamin E — but combine them with modern production techniques that ensure consistent quality. The result is products that work in practice, not just in theory.

Reuzel Beard Oil: The Foundation of Every Routine ✔️

Beard oil is the cornerstone of beard care — and Reuzel knows this better than any other brand. Reuzel Beard Oil isn't just a moisturizing product. It's a complete treatment that nourishes both the hair and the skin beneath it, addressing the most common problems that bearded men face.

✔️ The formula is based on a blend of natural oils that absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue. Argan Oil provides deep hydration and shine, Jojoba Oil mimics the skin's natural sebum for perfect balance, while Vitamin E protects against environmental damage and signs of aging.

✨ How to Apply Beard Oil:

✔️ 3-5 drops in your palms after showering
✔️ Rub your hands together to warm the product
✔️ Apply from roots to tips
✔️ Massage into the skin to prevent dryness
✔️ Comb for even distribution

The scent of Reuzel Beard Oil is a chapter in itself. With Wood & Spice notes reminiscent of a classic barbershop, it's present enough to enjoy all day but subtle enough not to overpower your cologne. For Leen and Bertus, scent was always part of the experience — and this shows in every drop.

Reuzel Beard Balm: Styling & Conditioning in One ✨

If beard oil is the foundation, beard balm is the finishing touch that transforms a good beard into an exceptional one. Reuzel Beard Balm combines hydration with light hold, giving you the control you need without sacrificing hair health. It's the product that Schorem barbers use daily to shape every type of beard.

✔️ The unique composition contains Shea Butter for deep nourishment, Beeswax for natural hold without stiffness, and the signature Reuzel blend of oils that keep the beard soft and flexible. Unlike cheap balms that leave hair stiff and rigid, Reuzel works with your beard's natural texture.

"A good balm doesn't cover problems — it solves them."

— Schorem Barbershop Philosophy

✨ Beard Balm is ideal for medium to long beards that need shaping. It tames stray hairs, visually fills gaps, and creates a clean, groomed look that lasts all day. It's also the ideal solution for beards that tend to curl or "puff up" with humidity.

✔️ Beard Balm vs Beard Oil — When to Use What:

✔️ Beard Oil: Daily hydration, ideal for short beards
✔️ Beard Balm: Styling + conditioning, for medium/long beards
✔️ Combination: First oil for hydration, then balm for shaping
⚠️ Pro Tip: Balm is applied to dry beard for better hold

Application is simple: take a small amount (like a small pea to start), warm it between your palms until it becomes oil-like, and work it into the beard from roots to tips. Use a beard comb or brush to distribute evenly and give the final shape. The result? A beard that looks natural but absolutely controlled.

Beard Cleansing: The Foundation of Health ✔️

No beard oil or balm will work properly if the beard isn't clean. And this is where many men make their biggest mistake: they use the same shampoo for hair and beard. Beard hair is completely different — coarser, denser, and grows on skin that has different needs than the scalp.

✔️ Reuzel offers specialized cleansing solutions that respect the unique nature of the beard. The philosophy is simple: cleanse deeply without removing the natural oils that keep the beard healthy. Regular shampoos contain sulfates that "strip" the hair and dry out the skin, leading to itching, beard dandruff, and wiry hairs.

⚠️ Signs You Need a Specialized Beard Wash:

⚠️ Itching on the skin under the beard
⚠️ White "flakes" — the infamous beard dandruff
⚠️ Hair that feels straw-like after washing
⚠️ Redness or irritation on the skin
⚠️ Beard smells bad despite daily washing

✨ Reuzel beard washes are designed to cleanse gently but effectively. They remove buildup from styling products, dirt, and environmental impurities while maintaining the moisture the hair needs. The result is a beard that feels clean but not "tight," ready to absorb the nutrients from beard oil or balm.

How Often Should You Wash Your Beard?

✔️ With beard wash: 2-3 times per week
✔️ With water only: daily if needed
⚠️ Avoid: daily washing with hair shampoo

Proper washing technique is equally important as the product. Wet the beard well with lukewarm water, apply a small amount of wash and massage gently — not just the hairs but the skin beneath them. Rinse very well and pat dry with a towel without rubbing. This simple routine makes a huge difference in your beard's long-term health.

The Perfect Beard Grooming Ritual ✨

At Schorem Barbershop, beard care isn't just a process — it's a ritual. A daily act of self-respect that transforms five minutes at the mirror into a moment of mindfulness. Reuzel has codified this philosophy into a complete care system that any man can follow at home.

✨ The Morning Ritual — 5 Minutes for a Perfect Beard:

Step 1: Rinse with lukewarm water to open the pores
Step 2: Pat dry gently with a clean towel
Step 3: 3-5 drops Beard Oil in palms, massage into skin
Step 4: Small amount Beard Balm for shaping (if needed)
Step 5: Brush or comb for the final shape

✔️ The application order is critical. Beard oil must always be applied first, to slightly damp or dry beard, to be properly absorbed by the hair and skin. Balm comes after, as a "seal" that locks in moisture and provides the desired hold. If you reverse the order, the oil won't be able to penetrate and will stay on the surface.

✨ The evening ritual is equally important, though simpler. Before sleep, a generous application of beard oil gives your beard hours of uninterrupted nourishment. The hairs absorb the nutrients during the night, and you wake up with a beard that feels incredibly soft. This "overnight treatment" is ideal for dry or damaged beards.

"Consistency beats intensity. Five minutes every day beats one hour once a week."

— Leen & Bertus, Schorem Founders

Success isn't in the quantity of products but in consistency. A simple routine that you follow daily will give much better results than a complicated system you abandon after a week. Reuzel understands this — that's why their products are designed to integrate easily into any morning routine.

Tools & Accessories for Beard ✔️

The best products in the world won't save you if you don't have the right tools to apply them. At Schorem, every barber has their own favorite tools — and Reuzel has incorporated this expertise into their recommendations for the perfect beard grooming kit.

✨ Essential Tools for Every Beard:

✔️ Beard Brush: With natural boar bristles for product distribution
✔️ Beard Comb: Wooden or acetate for detangling without static
✔️ Trimmer: For maintaining outline and length
✔️ Scissors: For precision trimming of individual hairs
⚠️ Avoid: Plastic combs that break and create static

✔️ The boar bristle beard brush is the most underrated grooming tool. Natural bristles distribute sebum from roots to tips, spread products evenly, and provide gentle exfoliation to the skin beneath the beard. Brushing 2-3 times daily "trains" the hairs to fall in the desired direction.

✨ Comb selection is equally important. Wooden combs — ideally from sandalwood or pearwood — have natural properties that absorb oils and distribute them evenly. Unlike plastic ones, they don't create static electricity that makes beards "puff up." A good comb lasts for years if you care for it properly.

Pro Tip from Schorem

Clean your brush every week with mild shampoo.
Product buildup reduces effectiveness
and can transfer stale oils to your beard.

For at-home beard maintenance, a quality trimmer is essential. Choose one with adjustable guards for different lengths and look for stainless steel or ceramic blades. Beard scissors are used for individual stray hairs — never for general trimming. And remember: if you're not sure, visit a professional barber for the shape and maintain it yourself between visits.

Common Beard Problems & Reuzel Solutions ✨

Every bearded man has faced at least one of the classic problems: itching, dryness, dandruff, or hairs that just won't cooperate. At Schorem, Leen and Bertus have seen it all — and the Reuzel Beard Care line was designed to address exactly these issues with professional effectiveness.

⚠️ Problem #1: Beard Itch

Cause: Dry skin under the beard, hairs piercing the skin during growth
Reuzel Solution: Daily Beard Oil with massage into the skin — not just the hairs
✔️ Argan & Jojoba Oil hydrate and soothe immediately

⚠️ Problem #2: Beard Dandruff

Cause: Dry or oily skin, use of harsh shampoos, infrequent brushing
Reuzel Solution: Specialized Beard Wash 2-3x/week + regular brushing
✔️ The brush provides gentle exfoliation and removes dead cells

⚠️ Problem #3: Wiry/Coarse Beard

Cause: Lack of moisture, hard water use, genetic predisposition
Reuzel Solution: Double application — Beard Oil morning & night + Beard Balm for sealing
✔️ Shea Butter in the Balm softens even the toughest hairs

✨ Patience is key. Most beard problems didn't appear in one day and won't be solved in one day. Give your new routine at least 2-3 weeks to see substantial improvement. Consistency — not intensity — is what brings long-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What's the difference between Beard Oil and Beard Balm?
Beard Oil is a lightweight oil that hydrates hair and skin without hold — ideal for daily use on any length. Beard Balm combines hydration with light hold for styling, suitable for medium and long beards that need shaping.
2. How often should I use Beard Oil?
For best results, use Beard Oil daily — ideally morning after shower and night before sleep. Nighttime application gives the nutrients time to be fully absorbed.
3. Can I use regular shampoo on my beard?
No, it's not recommended. Hair shampoos contain sulfates that dry out beard hair and skin, causing itching and dandruff. Use a specialized Beard Wash like Reuzel's, 2-3 times per week.
4. How do I treat beard itch?
Itching is usually caused by dry skin under the beard. Apply Reuzel Beard Oil daily with massage into the skin (not just the hairs) and brush regularly to distribute natural oils. Results are visible in 1-2 weeks.
5. What's the correct order for applying Reuzel products?
The correct order is: 1) Beard Wash for cleansing, 2) Towel dry, 3) Beard Oil for hydration (on slightly damp beard), 4) Beard Balm for styling (optional). Oil is always applied before balm for proper absorption.
6. Are Reuzel products suitable for all beard types?
Yes, Reuzel products were designed at Schorem Barbershop where they were tested on every beard type — from fine and sparse to thick and curly. The formula with Argan Oil, Jojoba and Vitamin E works effectively on all.

⚠️ Side Effects & Allergies

Reuzel beard care products are designed with quality ingredients, however — as with any cosmetic product — there's a possibility of allergic reaction or sensitivity in some individuals. It's important to know the signs and take appropriate precautions.

⚠️ Possible Symptoms of Allergic Reaction:

⚠️ Redness or flushing in the application area
⚠️ Itching that persists or worsens
⚠️ Burning or stinging sensation
⚠️ Swelling or rash
⚠️ Dryness or flaking that wasn't there before
⚠️ Small pimples or bumps in the beard

✔️ Patch Test — The Golden Rule: Before using any new product for the first time, always do a patch test. Apply a small amount on the inside of your wrist or behind your ear and wait 24-48 hours. If no symptoms appear, you can proceed safely.

✨ Ingredients That May Cause Sensitivity:

✔️ Essential oils: Eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree (in sensitive individuals)
✔️ Fragrances: Synthetic or natural aromatic ingredients
✔️ Tree nuts: Argan oil, almond oil (in people with nut allergies)
✔️ Lanolin: Sheep's wool derivative (rare allergy)
✔️ Propolis/Beeswax: In people with bee allergies

What to Do if a Reaction Occurs

✔️ Immediately stop using the product
✔️ Rinse well with lukewarm water
✔️ Apply fragrance-free soothing cream
⚠️ If symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist

Special Cases: If you have a known allergy to tree nuts, beeswax, or specific essential oils, always read the ingredients list (INCI) carefully before purchasing. When in doubt, seek advice from your dermatologist before starting use.

Important Note: The information in this article is general in nature and does not replace medical advice. If you have dermatological issues, eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions, consult your doctor before using any new cosmetic product.
