Boars Hair Beard Brush
-

Travel Bag
Beard Boost Serum contains Biotin and caffeine, and the Beard Growth Supplement activates the hair follicle to help facial hair grow stronger, faster, and healthier.
In addition to the growth products, the Wild Willies Fuel Your Beard Kit also includes grooming tools like the Beard Brush and Shaping Tool Beard Comb to keep your facial hair clean-cut and well-maintained.
The travel bag allows you to take your kit with you on the go, so you can keep your beard looking great no matter where you are. It has enough extra room that you can also include some other products if you'd like!
Copenhagen
-
Activator Serum
-
Beard Roller
-
Beard Roller Cleanser
-
Keychain Comb
The Activator Serum is a beard oil infused with Capilia Longa. This special ingredient has been shown to increase healthy hair growth and works to help you grow a fuller beard.
The Beard Roller stimulates hair follicles and creates microscopic channels in the skin. This allows for the skin to regenerate naturally and completely absorb the beard serum.
The keychain comb is a great way to keep your beard looking neat on the go but is not ideal for kinky, thick hair textures.
Also included in the kit is the Beard Roller Cleanser, which cleans and sanitizes the roller before and after each use.
Winner: Wild Willies
When it comes to the contents of each kit, Wild Willies has a clear advantage. The Fuel Your Beard kit has more facial hair growth products, offers grooming tools, and includes a convenient bag for travel and on-the-go touch-ups.

Derma Roller
The Copenhagen Beard Growth Kit comes with the Derma Roller, a tool that helps stimulate and increase beard hair growth. This is a great feature whether you're starting your beard journey or looking for a way to boost your current growth and eliminate unwanted patchiness.
Winner: Copenhagen
The Derma Roller is great for stimulating growth, increasing absorption of your favorite beard growth serum/oil, and helping to eliminate patchiness.
This gives Copenhagen the edge over Wild Willies for unique features. Grooming tools are always good, but in a beard growth kit, you can't beat having a tool specifically designed for this purpose!
Experience and Results
Wild Willies
Customer reviews show that this beard kit is for all stages of beard growth. One stated, "Awesome products. Bought this for my 19-year-old son that's working hard at growing his first beard. We both agree he is making fast progress from Wild Willies," and another reviewer claims, "Works great filling in all my patches, unlike other brands."
All of their products are manufactured in the USA, and they have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try their products risk-free.
Copenhagen
Customers claim to see impressive results from this system but explain that it takes a significant amount of time. One explains "If you're impatient, then don't buy." Another customer saw great results after consistent use saying, "Don't have much to say other than [their] products are the best and [have] helped treat my alopecia!"
Results are usually seen starting 4-8 weeks after using the Beard Growth Kit. However, Copenhagen recommends using the kit for 150 days to get the best indication of your beard growth. If you document your progress and do not see results, they will refund you.
Winner: Draw
Both companies seem to produce great results, but it ultimately comes down to user preference. Wild Willies is a good choice for those who want to see results quickly, while Copenhagen is perfect for those willing to wait a bit longer for impressive growth.
Price and Rating
Wild Willies
$39.99 with a one-time purchase
$35.99 with a subscription
Copenhagen
$125 for a 50-day supply
$179 for a 150-day supply + 2 Activators
$233 for a 250-day supply + 4 Activators
Winner: Wild Willies
When it comes to price, Wild Willies is the clear winner. You can get their growth kit for a one-time purchase that's one-third the price of the Copenhagen kit. Copenhagen does offer a discount for buying in bulk, but even then, you only get one beard product and one full-size tool.
The Bottom Line
Overall Winner - Wild Willies Fuel Your Beard Kit: This kit is ideal for every man - whether you're just starting your beard journey or wanting to fill in patchy areas in your mustache and beard. The kit is affordable and easy to use for everyday use!
Copenhagen The Beard Growth Kit: The price of the Copenhagen growth kit and the additional steps and length of time it takes to see results bumped this to the second place spot. While we prefer the Wild Willies beard kit, Copenhagen is still great for men who have already grown their beards but want it fuller and less patchy.
