I like my Ox Horn and sandalwood comb or just a sandalwood comb. I need a pretty good gap to get through. I will never use a plastic comb. TJX and Ross always seem to have some kinds of beard stuff on clearance - at least near me - (neck ties and boxers also don’t do well near me). Especially after the gift giving holidays. Some brands never heard of and some name brands. I have picked up beard shampoo, beard balm and beard oil sometimes on double clearance. Beard shampoo is nice to use and is non drying. I use it once or twice a week. I use beard oil after every shower and brush it in with a boar brush. If I ever run out of beard oil - I am going to make it myself. There is a re-fill store that sells the oil from bulk containers near me along with essential oils. I am saving the bottles for the project! Beard oil is nice if you are going to have a long beard. Ok to get a beard trim by a pro every once in a while. If you see a guy with a nice shape beard ask him where he goes to have it trimmed. Many are dyi; but some barbers have interest in beards. Think through if you want to commit to shave cheeks and/or neck lines. I did not. Enjoy it; not all can grow full beards.
I’ve tried several different beard oils over the years on my winter beard and never really been happy until last year when I tried some Captain Fawcett. Here’s their website but I think you can find it on Amazon too. Decent scent. I’ve got Barberism and Booze and Baccy

I think it all depends on the length of the beard your son plans to wear. If it is literally a centimeter, then you can only use conditioner to soften the beard so that it does not itch and apply oil once a week (optional). If it’s longer, you can add an elixir to make your beard more manageable.
I wore a beard, partial beard (goatee) or mustache on and off for all of my adult life.
No special care was needed other than shampooing when I shampooed my hair.
Beard, mustache, etc. was always neatly trimmed so maybe if you have a super long hipster beard or handlebar mustache something more needs to be done?
