Beard products in Germany

Hello,

I'm planning to grow out my beard, but I usually run into the same problem: after about 10 days, my beard starts getting itchy and uncomfortable, so I end up trimming it. I'd like to find a good product that softens beard hair and helps reduce the itching, so I can grow it out without constantly feeling the need to trim it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for products that are available in Germany, especially at drugstores like dm or Rossmann (other shops/online products are okay for me as well)?

I'm open to beard oils, balms, moisturizers, or anything else that has worked well for you.

Thanks to anyone who can help me :)

My only tip is to stay away from products that advertise specifically to men. Whenever you see stuff like "beard oil" and it has a black label with a bearded skull on it, you can be sure that it's low quality and/or overpriced af.

In 6th grade we learned about the "pink tax". Take any hygiene product, make it pink and sell it for 20% more to woman. Well that was 20 years ago and by now the same shit works for men

There's a French leave-in conditioner cream called Phyto 7 that's widely available in Europe. It's unscented, not greasy, softens and nourishes hair. I've been using it since before beard products were a thing, still haven't found anything quite as good.

Brooklyn Soap Company.

I‘m buying everything for my beard there, as well as lotions, cologne etc.

Smells amazing and isn‘t that expensive.

I love ProRaso from Italy, sometime you can find it in DM/Rossmann. The vetiver beard shampoo is really awesome.

idk if it's good but i use "Haarwasser" on my beard after showering and it helps soften it and takes care of flaky skin underneath in a way no other product has

Just get any beard oil that smells good to you. I'm currently using the one from King C. Gillette.

Thanks for the advice, between Balea MEN Bartpflege-Gel 2in1 and Balea MEN Bartöl, which one would you recommend?
