Review (5/5): Manly beard tamer.
I bought this beard balm to help tame my "redundant mop" (thanks Herman Melville). I was pleased to receive this balm in a nice metal tin. I've mentioned elsewhere that I like metal tins.
I cracked it open and scraped a bit out. It has a nice, waxy texture - not too waxy, but not as soft as some others I've tried. It's also heavier or thicker than some of the others I've tried.
After rubbing it between my fingers to warm and soften the balm, I applied it to mustache and beard. It has a masculine scent (cedar and cloves) which I like. However, my wife commented that it was nice but "not her favorite".
It helped keep the flyways in check, and also seems to soften and condition. I can definitely feel a difference if I don't use it - my beard is more rough and bristly. I'd classify it primarily as a tamer and styler, with conditioning properties.
The tin is large, and will last quite a while l think. Rotating daily between this and another balm I use, I've used a little over half in almost six months. So using daily, it'd theoretically last about six months. (Your mileage may vary.)
