A good quantity of a good product for a good price.
I recently ran out of the last 2 oz tin of beard balm that I purchased from someone else and wasn't thrilled with the product, and decided to buy this kit since it was only 5 dollars more expensive than another 2 oz tin of balm and seemingly contained a lot more value.
Review by piece:
-Beard Wash: Haven't gotten a chance to use, will update in a few days when I finally remember to take it to the shower with me.
-Beard Oil: Scentless as advertised, in a very nice container with dropper, and moisturizes beard as much as you would expect the direct application of oil to.
-Beard balm: While I don't see it mentioned on the product page, this is also scentless. Balms I've used in the past have had a variety of strong scents (not all of which were strictly pleasant) so this is a new one for me. It seems to work just as well as those so far, without the occurrence of my dog or cats trying to smell my beard.
-Scissors: A part of this I had forgotten but was happy to see, these scissors are of a much higher quality than I would've expected from a kit such as this, and seem to be constructed sturdily of good metal.
-Beard Comb: Probably the most underwhelming piece of this kit, the comb is thicker than I would like for something that would go into a pocket, and has no cover so is likely to get the oil or balm from your beard to cover the things alongside it in your pocket. While it works just fine, I will still opt to carry my lower profile wooden beard comb I received in an earlier purchase.
-Beard Brush: A piece of this kit I was probably most excited for, and was not disappointed. The bristles don't hurt the skin while still being stiff enough to function very well. My beard can be a bit unruly at times but a combination of snipping with the scissors and some circular brushing with the brush, it's looking nice and even.
Final verdict before edit: I'm INCREDIBLY pleased with my decision to purchase this kit, and if I don't spontaneously develop chemical burns from the products within a few days I'm probably going to purchase another instance or two of the kit as gifts to my brother and father. In the future I may even be convinced to buy it for myself again because regardless of redundancy of tools, this amount of hair-care product for the price is absurdly good.
Edit: I got around to using the beard shampoo and it works well. My beard was soft after use and absorbed the oil well.
Unfortunately, me have small brain so I got distracted and put the oil back in the bag without sealing the dropper lid effectively, coating all the items in beard oil and soaking the bag. Everything rinsed off easily for the most part but I had to just throw the bag away. I'm also out of oil now two days after receiving it :/. Be sure to tightly seal the dropper lid after you finish useing it. Still five stars since the lid works fine I just forgot to use it.
