100% jojoba oil and a boar's hair brush are the basic tools for any style of bearding at any stage from scruff to wizardly. Anything else is enhancement for whatever specific style you choose.

With oils, less is more. We're talking drops at a time, not a palm-size pool. Too much and you get the "glossies," but you can always towel out the excess or rub it into your skin and hair elsewhere.

Your beard is looking great already. Keep growing and posting your progress. I think you're going to enjoy it.
