Beard Club vs. Copenhagen Grooming: Between the Best-of-the-Best Beard Growth Kits, The Winner Is Clear

For as long as I can remember, my (lack of) facial hair has been one of my biggest insecurities.

Every time I try to grow it out, it’s patchy, sparse, and anything but impressive. But a recent conversation with my best friend about her preference for guys with facial hair got me thinking: is there a solution to my beard struggles? After confirming with multiple women that good facial hair is enough of a reason for them to swipe right, the prospect of transforming my sad scruff into a majestic chin-mane became an obsession.

So, I set off on a research journey to unearth the very best beard growth solution for us facial hair-challenged men. After meticulous exploration, I narrowed down the options to two standout contenders: Beard Club and Copenhagen Grooming. 

Of course, there can only be one winner…so let’s get into it.

Meet the Beard Growth Titans

Beard Club and Copenhagen Grooming are both respected players in the beard growth and grooming game—and for good reason. After clicking through the impressive transformation photos on their websites, I was pretty confident that both brands know what they’re doing. 

Beard Club is a powerhouse in men’s grooming. Since launching in California in 2015, they’ve garnered attention from publications like GQ, BroBible, and Buzzfeed, and earned a 4.99/5 rating from over 11,400 reviews from over 2 million customers. Oh, and their products are backed by none other than “The Beard” James Harden. 

On the other side of the court, Denmark-based Copenhagen Grooming offers a comprehensive range of beard growth, grooming, skin, and hair products. Since 2017, they’ve been featured in publications like The Guardian and Wired, and stacked up more than 1,700 reviews (with an average rating of ⅘ stars).

Versatility: Beard Club Takes the Lead

While both brands offer high-quality products made with clean, non-toxic ingredients, Beard Club emerges as the clear winner in terms of versatility and product range, offering three different kits tailored to various growth needs: Starter, Advanced, and Ultimate.

The Starter Kit includes beard growth oil, a facial derma-roller to stimulate hair follicles, cleansing spray for the roller, and beard-growth multi-vitamins to help promote growth from the inside-out. If you’re looking to level-up with beard shampoo, beard growth vitamin spray, and a brush—those are included in the Advanced Kit. And for those seeking a growth and grooming experience, the Ultimate Kit extends the offering with a top-of-the-line beard trimmer and a convenient bag to hold everything.

Comparatively, Copenhagen Grooming only has one core offering: the Beard Growth Kit, which comes with a beard growth serum, a beard roller, a cleanser for the roller, and a beard comb. You can add on their “Sidekick” vitamins, but it’s an additional cost. 

The way I see it, if I’m going all-out on this whole beard-growth journey, more is more. And for that reason, I feel more confident in Beard Club.

Pricing: Another Point for Beard Club

I won’t beat around the bush—both brands are an investment. But between the two brands’ pricing, Beard Club maintains a competitive edge. They offer flexible pricing on a month-to-month basis: after the initial kit, you can add or subtract products in subsequent orders as needed.

The Starter Kit is $60 (or $51 with the 20% discount on their website), providing a 30-day supply. The Advanced Kit is $75, and I’d even consider the Ultimate Kit a steal at $125, considering the included trimmer is $85 sold separately. 

In contrast, Copenhagen Grooming’s standard kit costs $119 for a 50-day supply, while the vitamin-enhanced version comes in at $135—which is a significant upfront cost. Their website mentions you can “save up to 50%,” but the real drawback lies in the requirement to commit to a 150 or 250-day supply (up to $299) to access better discounts.

The absence of lengthy commitments and a 30-day money-back guarantee solidified Beard Club’s appeal for me, so I decided to order their bestselling Advanced Kit.

My Experience With Beard Club (So Far)

Apparently most people start to see results in months 1-3, but I could actually see some new hair growth in my previously patchy spots after about three weeks of diligent use. My beard is already looking thicker and fuller, and while I can’t say I look like a Greek god just yet, I can say that there’s hair starting to grow in places it’s never grown before (without any ingrown hairs or itchiness).

My favorite part of the routine is the derma-roller, which I’ve been using 2x per week. It’s covered in a bunch of tiny needles that help boost collagen-rich tissue and blood flow to help stimulate hair growth—but more importantly, it feels really nice. I follow that up with the serum and I swear it’s even improved the appearance of my skin.

With Beard Club, I’m not just growing a beard; I’m growing confidence, one follicle at a time. My second order is on the way now, and I can’t wait to see how my beard-growth progresses in the next few months.

I Get Why James Harden Is a Fan…

Beard Club and Copenhagen Grooming are both top-rated options, but Beard Club’s comprehensive product range, reasonable pricing, and customizable ordering options made more sense for me and I’m loving the results I’m seeing so far. 

If you’re on the fence, they have a generous guarantee: you try their products for five months while documenting your progress, and if improvements aren’t evident, they’ll refund your investment. So really, there’s nothing to lose…and a lot of room to grow.
