Beard Bar: The Cleaning Tool You Never Knew You Needed

Introduced in 2020, Mat’s Beard Bar is a unique sponge specifically designed for men to keep their sink clean and tidy after trimming their beard.

As any man who has used a beard trimmer can attest, there are always tiny little hairs left behind in and around the sink after trimming your beard. And if you’re like most men, you probably will get a wad of toilet paper, paper towel, or even your shirt sleeve and try to wipe them up. But those little beard hairs seem to have a mind of their own and keep sticking around no matter how much you wipe.

But with Mat’s Beard Bar, all you have to do is dampen the sponge, wipe away the beard hairs and rinse it off when you’re done. The smooth, simple design fits perfectly into any crevice or around the faucet on your sink, ensuring no little beard hairs are left behind.

Why it’s A Great Alternative to the Other Options

Beard hair clippings are one of those pesky problems companies have been trying to solve for years. Major brands like Philips Norelco have introduced vacuum beard trimmers designed to collect the beard hairs as you trim, but they are often expensive and don’t work as well as advertised.

Other products on the market, like the beard bib, are designed to catch the beard hairs but can be a pain to set up and take down each time you trim your beard. You can’t freely move around as your bib is attached to you via suction cups.

Mat’s Beard Bar is the perfect solution for anyone who wants an easy way to clean up their beard trimmings.

How to Use Mat’s Beard Bar

Using Mat’s Beard Bar is simple. Just wet the sponge, wipe away the beard hairs and rinse it off when you’re done. The smooth, simple design fits perfectly into any crevice or around the faucet on your sink, ensuring no little beard hairs are left behind.

Travel-Friendly Form Factor

Mat’s Beard Bar is the perfect size for travel at 4.75 inches long, 0.75 inches wide, and 1.25 inches tall. It easily fits into any Dopp kit or toiletry bag, so you can take it wherever you go.

“Why not just get a regular sponge instead?”

Okay, smart guy, we thought you might say that. While a regular sponge can work, it’s not as effective as Mat’s Beard Bar for a few reasons. First, the regular sponge is not as dense, so it won’t be able to pick up as many beard hairs.

Second, and perhaps most important, it’s a regular sponge and not one that looks nearly as cool as Mat’s Beard Bar. We mean, come on, look at that thing! It’s practically begging to be used to clean up your beard trimmings.

Oh, and the beard bar is made by one guy, not some faceless multinational corporation that only cares about your money. So you can feel good knowing that your purchase supports a small business.

Replace Regularly for Best Results

For best results, it’s recommended that you replace your Mat’s Beard Bar every 3 to 12 months, depending on how often you use it.

So there you have it. The next time you’re looking for an easy and effective way to clean up your beard trimmings, reach for Mat’s Beard Bar. Your sink will thank you.

Oh, and did we say this makes for a great Father’s Day gift? Because it does. 😉
