The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

What does it do? i.e. what problem do you have if you have more than a light stubble and don't use beard oil?
I'm not sure what OP would say, but beard oils/balms keep the facial hair conditioned, which gently softens the hair, as well as it acts like a moisturizer for your facial skin which significantly reduces how dry and itchy it gets.
In my experience, I don't know if it helps it grow in fuller, but it certainly makes wearing a beard more comfortable and easier to manage.
What if I just use regular facial moisturizer and rub it into my beard while moisturizing my face in the morning? That's what I've always done, but now I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something.
That's probably going to do a similar moisturizing of the skin, keeping the itch away, though I'm not sure how that would affect the facial hair as far as conditioning goes. It just seems a lot more difficult than rubbing in an oil/balm that's specifically designed for that purpose.
