Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This stuff is great! I have previously tried to grow a beard, and decided to trim and shave my whiskers because of the dreaded beard itch. I tend to have dry skin problems in the winter, and while I've always wanted to grow my beard during this time of year, it also tends to dry my face. After browsing a few beard forums and seeing this product mentioned a few times, I decided to wander over to Amazon and purchase this beard balm. I now use it daily. It has made my beard very soft and manageable, while taming some of the stray whiskers that tend to stick straight out rather than fall with the flow of my beard. If the right amount is used, then it will present a nice softness to the skin that doesn't feel greasy. THE SMELL - I have seen mention of a smell in some reviews of this product. While it certainly does have a unique smell to it, the smell is natural. My nose doesn't detect any sort of artificial fragrance, and the smell seems all natural. If you are familiar with the smell of Cocoa Butter, then you will instantly be able to pick it up. It was definitely the main scent that I could detect. My wife cannot smell any distinct scent, even when her nose is touching my beard. THE SIZE - Be warned, you may be disappointed in the size of this product when it arrives at your door. While I was certainly surprised, I can say that a little bit of this product really does go a long way, and it really does help with growth and softness. RECOMMENDATIONS - Attached is a photo of the amount that I use. It is plenty to allow for entire beard coverage, while any remaining balm I have left, I apply to the rest of my face to prevent any dryness. The excess balm works great to hydrate and protect skin all day! Simply take a small amount with your finger tip, and rub well in between your hands. The paste will melt down into the consistency of an oil, and spread evenly throughout your beard. If too much of the balm is used, it will leave the beard looking slightly oily and over-conditioned in the sun. After seeing how much this product has helped maintain my beard, I am interested in trying some other products from the company! The quality is great!
