Review (5/5): Surprisingly Good
I've been using shampoos (some fancier than others) and conditioners (again, some fancier than others) on my beard for years. I also used beard oil, but when I saw beard wash, I figured it was just marketing hype. Moisturizing shampoo under a different name, to milk you for a ridiculous amount of money.
Then I saw this, in the Dollar Tree. How good could a $1 store beard wash be? I thought. But it was only $1, and I figured I'd try a "beard wash" to see if they lived up to the hype, or was just a waste of money over shampoo.
After one use, I was a convert. My beard felt softer than it ever had before. I still don't know about the pricier washes, as I've not used them yet. I've been getting this one over and over. It cleans and moisturizes very, very well. It's a clear gel that lathers very easily, and the smell is light and clean.
I've tried some of the other Power Stick products in this line since. The shaving gel is alright (I prefer old-fashioned brush and shaving soap.) The aftershave lotion is nice. It's got a little menthol in it, and normally I hate mentholated products on my skin, but it's fine. Can't say much for the beard balm. I used it once and it just wasn't my thing.
Do you have a beard? Do yourself a favor, and find a Dollar Tree (if you have them in your area) and stock up on this.
