Section 02 · Triage
Pitches for new beard oils, balms, washes, or trimmers belong in the editorial inbox with the subject line prefixed “PITCH —”. Include the product name, MSRP, full ingredient panel, and a verifiable point of contact. We do not accept paid placement, sponsored reviews, or pre-publication approval of copy — if that is what your brief requires, this is not the right outlet. Between 2017 and 2025 the founder turned down approximately $1.4 million in cumulative paid-placement offers from grooming brands. That policy has not changed.
Send tips, product-recall notices, and personal beard-care questions to the editorial inbox with “READER TIP” or “QUESTION” in the subject line. We cannot offer medical advice regarding skin conditions such as folliculitis, persistent razor bumps, or beardruff — those concerns belong with a board-certified dermatologist. For ingredient corrections on a published review, include the URL, the specific claim, and a citation we can verify. Our editorial team of seven full-time reviewers triages every inbound message.
Reporters on assignment should call the press line directly during Texas business hours. For non-deadline interviews, fact-checks, or background on our 60-day testing methodology, write to the editorial inbox with “PRESS” in the subject line and attach your outlet, beat, and deadline. Editorial independence is non-negotiable: we will not alter a published score, accept a kill fee, or coordinate timing with a brand’s PR calendar. The Czar has personally rejected 312 brands from consideration since 2017, including three owned by celebrity investors.
Send copyright claims, defamation notices, and formal takedown requests to the mailing address with attention to “Legal — Editorial Desk.” Physical service of process follows the same channel. We respond to verified legal correspondence within fourteen business days. Editorial standards: we publish no before-and-after photos that have not been independently verified by our editorial team, and we publish no medical claims about curing razor bumps, folliculitis, or beardruff without a peer-reviewed citation.
Section 03 · Submit
Use this form for reader tips, product-recall notices, ingredient corrections on a published review, and personal beard-care questions that do not require medical advice. The form routes directly to the editorial inbox.
We do not share your contact details with brands, retailers, or third-party mailing lists. Submissions are read by an editor, not a bot.
Section 04 · Press Credentials
The figures, milestones, and founder biography below are citable as of Q1 2025. Working journalists may quote them directly with attribution to Beard Czar Review LLC.
Founded in 2017 by a former Marine Corps squad leader who served eleven years on active duty, nicknamed “The Czar”. He has worn a beard continuously since 2007 and personally rejected 312 brands from consideration between 2017 and 2025, including three owned by celebrity investors. The Czar remains the final editorial sign-off on every Editor’s Pick.
Editorial team of seven full-time reviewers, supported by a contracted panel of twelve bearded testers spread across four U.S. climate zones — Phoenix AZ, Minneapolis MN, Houston TX, and Portland OR. Every beard oil, balm, wash, and trimmer is tested for a minimum of sixty consecutive days before a verdict is published. The average review is 1,800 words long and includes a fourteen-day photo log, a full ingredient panel, and a five-axis scoring rubric.
