Beard Care for the Blue-Collar Man
You Work Hard. Your Beard Should Too.
Let’s be real—when you’re clocking in early, grinding through long shifts, and coming home dog-tired, the last thing you want is some fancy, complicated grooming routine. But here’s the deal: you don’t have to spend hours in front of a mirror to have a beard that looks and feels good. A little bit of the right care goes a long way—especially when you’re using products that actually work.
At Copper Johns, we built this company with hard-working, family-focused men in mind. Guys like you. So this one’s for the blue-collar man who builds, fixes, hauls, leads, and provides—and still wants to look good doing it.

1. Start with a Clean Slate: Wash It Right
Dirt, sweat, dust, grime—it all ends up in your beard. Whether you’re on a construction site, under a truck, or running a forklift, your beard takes a beating.
Tip: Use Copper Johns Daily Conditioning Wash 2-3 times a week. It’s designed for beards, not your scalp. It won’t strip your natural oils like regular shampoo, and it’ll leave your beard feeling fresh—not brittle.
Pro Tip: If your beard feels heavy or coated, use a cold-pressed soap from Copper Johns once a week for a deep detox and reset.

2. Fuel the Skin First: Beard Oil is a Game Changer
Think beard oil is just about smell? Think again. A healthy beard starts at the skin. If your face feels itchy, dry, or flaky under your beard, that’s a cry for help.
Copper Johns Beard Oil is packed with skin-friendly oils like jojoba, argan, and camellia, plus Ionic Inland Sea Minerals that help your hair grow stronger from the root.
How to use it:
- Towel dry your beard after a shower so it’s slightly damp.
- Use 5-10 drops for short beards, up to 20+ for longer ones.
- Rub it into your hands, work it into the skin underneath first, then through your beard.
Why it matters: Hydrated skin = less beard dandruff, less itching, and a better foundation for your beard to grow in thicker, softer, and healthier.

3. Tame the Beast: Use Beard Butter Before Bed
Got a wild beard that won’t stay down? Beard butter is your secret weapon. It softens, conditions, and gives your beard a fuller, neater look—all while you sleep.
Copper Johns Beard Butter includes unrefined shea butter, castor oil, meadowfoam oil, and those same powerful sea minerals. It melts in your hand and absorbs fast, leaving no grease behind.
How to use it:
- Scoop a dime-sized amount.
- Warm it in your hands.
- Apply it at night to clean, slightly damp beard.
- Let it work its magic while you rest.
Bonus: You’ll wake up with a beard that’s softer, easier to style, and smells fresh without overpowering cologne vibes.

4. Don’t Skip the Tools: Comb or Brush Makes a Difference
A good boar bristle brush or a wide-tooth Chicago Comb helps train your beard, spread oils evenly, and get rid of tangles. It’s not about vanity—it’s about maintenance.
Takes less than 60 seconds. Worth it every time.

5. Keep It Real. Keep It You.
You don’t have to have a model-perfect beard. That’s not the point. Your beard tells a story—it’s yours. Taking care of it is about pride, confidence, and showing up each day with your best self.
It’s about walking into the room—work boots and all—and still looking like you give a damn about yourself. Because you should.
And let’s be honest… there’s something powerful about a man who takes care of his family and his face.
