Found this, thought it might amuse 
Do I need to add an obvious, common sense, disclaimer or are we sensible?

Shampoo? I thought only men grew beards. Wash with regular bar soap; just like your hair.
Barbarism would be the discrimination against bearded, uncivilised folks (hence our modern use of the word in the context of being uncivilised). You can blame the Romans, who by and large went clean shaven. Well, the men at least
Barba is Latin for beard and is still used in the Romance languages.

Nice but wrong. Barbarism is from the Greek "barbaros" meaning "foreign".

I haven't shaved for many years. When I was a teacher, most Christmases some smart-a*s* , thinking they were original, would give me a bottle of aftershave. I often used to wonder whether they were trying to be funny or were just stupid or unobservent.
My other half has some almond oil she uses for various cosmetics creations and I've tried rubbing that in. Seems to work quite well. I think a lot of the beard oils are similar carrier oils with some smelly oils in as well.
She gave me some moustache wax for Christmas and that's quit good for keeping the mo out of my mouth. Haven't shaved for over a year and Haven't timmed the moustache for over six months so it's reasonably full now.

Actually Hadrian had a beard and made them fashionable for a while.
In general I just let mine grow if I'm doing mostly Viking or Pyrate work but I do trim it a bit if I'm being Roman for a while.
It gets washed when I do or occasionally in the rain. No other treatment required.
Golden syrup give "hold" to a 'tache and tastes better than wax if it does get in your mouth.
Toast is my applicator of choice.
Having worn my beard for a continuous 40+ years I have never found the need for oils or other grooming - it gets washed when face or hair get washed and food combed out when I remember...
As I dribble a bit due to an old injury I often get reminded to "de-food" the facial hair....
i speak neither greek nor latin but the nickname of emperor Frederick I was ""barbarossa"" - which means ""red beard"" in italian... (he's one of two people i know of who have been named for their beard...)
Ive just noticed all the emoticons are clean shaven. Not exactly representative of a site overpopulated with middle aged, bearded pot bellied men.
Fixed it.
Now I feel less lonely
You can camouflage yourself as a shaving brush by standing next to Occam's razor.
