Honest Amish - Heavy Duty Beard Balm - 2 Ounce - Beard Conditioner

I ordered Heavy Duty Beard Balm and the Leave-in Conditioner (all natural). My beard is nearing two inches right now, so it had a nice poof to it. I began using the Balm/Conditioner a month ago. Overall, these two products work great. You just need to experiment a little with how and when you apply them and determine which product is right for you. As a side note, I generally have dry skin in the winter, therefore my face itched and my beard became brittle and at times a little bit itchy. Application: I prefer the Heavy Duty Balm. I am washing my beard ever 2-3 days and adding the balm daily. I will use a little bit at a time (enough to cover my finger tip) then rub two fingers together until the balm is liquid. Then I apply the balm to individual areas of my beard, to make sure it is evenly disbursed. I do scratch and dig into my beard a little bit prior to application just to separate hairs. This seems to help my face from itching less. Time between uses: I use the balms 1-2 times a day. The Heavy Duty in the morning (after my beard has sufficiently dried after a shower) and the Leave-in Conditioner in the evening or immediately before bed. I may use a little more here and there if my face feels dry. (weather dependent) Vs. The Heavy Duty gives my beard a little bit more structure and is not as oily as the Leave-In Conditioner. Maybe I am using too much of the leave-in, but from different approaches to how and when I apply each balm, for all day use, the heavy duty does the trick. The leave in is definitely good on my skin. I hate lotion, so I don't like the feeling it leaves on my hands if I touch it at all through the day. Smell: The smell is there. It is good. If you don't like things that have a smell, then don't use this. If you like smelling good, use this. (the smell has the girlfriend's stamp of approval)

Honestly this is probably all you need for your beard, keeps it soft and hydrated but not too soft and not dry + tames all the stray hairs and lets you shape it the way you want. The smell is very subtle but nice ive gotten compliments on it

I like this balm. I was previously using Cremo balm. It didn't seem to do much for taming frizz or conditioning, despite having a far firmer and more waxy feel. The Honest Amish is buttery so you can scoop a little out of the tin with your fingertip and rub it on your palms for a few seconds and it melts to a nice consistency. it applies nice and evenly through a damp, or even dry beard. Finish with a brush or comb and I'm looking good. My beard is softer in just a week and has fewer flyaways. The scent is so subtle that it might as well not even be there. My only complaint is that it can leave an ever-so slightly greasy feel if you're not careful. I know that's the case with most balms but it seems to do so a little more than the Cremo did. A small price to pay for all the other benefits. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. I may experiment with other brands later, but for now I'm very pleased with this.

About me: I've grown my beard out for the first time ever. As it has gotten longer, I've had to adapt in how I care for it. I have a little bit of a medical background and the circles I run in fear beards like the plague due to poor information put out about how uncleanliness, unprofessional, dirty, etc they are... most of which I disagree... I recently read a medical study that clean shaven men actually harbor more threatening bacteria (e.g. Mrsa) than our bearded brethren... it's because the micro abrasions in the skin, warmer, temperatures, etc. allow these bacteria to feed is the theory. Anyhow, back on to reviewing the product. The product matters because looking presentable matters. So the main brands I've been using for about a period of 6 months are: Grave Before Shave, Viking Revolution, and now the Honest Amish regular (not Heavy Duty). I've been using Grave Before Shave the longest as the fragrances have been interesting and the product fairly consistent. The brand logos/art for different fragrances is pretty neat/entertaining too. The hold has been decent overall, but it seems as I go throughout the day it only lasts for a few hours or so before the fly aways kick in and it has a subtly oily residue. Overall, a solid product. Viking Revolution is the first beard balm I began with. I didn't know any better at the time but it made the thinner parts of my beard greasy, stringy/thin, and oily looking. I wasn't sure what was causing all of this, but time and experience have helped me in learning to style a beard that is a few inches from my chest now... I'll probably throw this product away. I don't like it touching my beard. The regular version of the Honest Amish beard balm just didn't hold well and the fragrance was nothing interesting (it's ok, just doesn't stand out much). I'm not much interested in the fragrances anymore, but more so a product that just works and gets me through the day. This version of balm is more like a moisturizer than something to keep flyaway hairs in place. The Honest Amish Heavy Duty Beard Balm is now my default go-to. It does not have much of a greasy feel in moderation, gives my beard a moisturized matte-appearance , and is very easy to get out of the container and apply... texture of a smooth-sticking paste. I'll be using my grave before shave for daily use (running around), but the Honest Amish will be my default go to for a product I know works well and I'm confident in for work and dressing up on occasion. The fragrance is subtle and subsides within the hour. I like this enough that I'm going to order a 4oz container after just receiving my 2oz container within the week. I don't want to risk not having any how this stuff on hand/beard.

Great hold and doesn’t have crazy oily feeling. The smell of very pleasant and the hold lasts all day. It also comes out easily with shampoo and conditioner. So far the container has lasted a little over a month and I I use it 5 days a week

Llevaba tiempo con el producto en la lista de deseos pero no acababa de decidirme. Por un lado porque pensaba que era un bálsamo más y por su precio. La mayoría de opiniones son muy positivas pero ya sabemos que muchas veces te frustras cuando recibes algo con mucha expectativa y acaba siendo una decepción. En mi caso, me gusta cuidarme la barba y he probado muchos aceites, bálsamos, jabones, acondicionadores, etc, ya que no acabo de acertar con la tecla y es que, según el producto me suele producir más o menos caspa o picores. Luego, muchos productos te engrasan en exceso la barba, dando un resultado no cómodo para el día a día. En este caso, creo que después de una semana de uso he acertado de pleno. Sólo hace falta un poco en la yema de los dedos y mover entre yema y yema hasta que se derrita como una mantequilla. Ahora lo repartes por toda la barba masajeando con los dedos hasta llegar a la piel. Inicialmente da una sensación de ser un bálsamo más, pero nada más lejos de la realidad. Es verdad que no huele ni a melón, ni cítricos, ni mentas ni a futos del bosque, es más, tiene un olor mantecoso que sin ser malo tampoco es para tirar cohetes. Te cepillas o peinas la barba y en cuestión de minutos se absorbe totalmente desapareciendo esa sensación “aceitosa” y la barba está totalmente hidratada y suave sin ningún residuo. Nada de caspa ni picores. Mi consejo es tener una barba limpia a poder ser con jabón natural de Alepo. Luego un poco de esta maravilla y nada más, sin necesidad de productos perfumados ni nada. Entiendo que nos guste desprender un buen olor de un producto, pero por mi experiencia, valoro más no tener picores o caspa. Ahora, si no tienes problemas de picores o caspa con productos más “químicos”, usa el que más te guste. Una pena no haberlo descubierto antes.

Excelente opción para un bálsamo acondicionador que también tiene fijación, probablemente el mejor que he usado hasta ahora. Aparte 100% ingredientes naturales t orgánicos

3ème produit que je prend pour ma barbe (3mois), une petite dose suffit à hydrater une grande zone, ce présente comme du miel cristallisé mais une foi qu'on fait chauffé dans la paume de la main on ce retrouve avec une sorte d'huile en plus épais. Pour ce qui est de la barbe, l'hydratation dure bine plus longtemps que les autres baumes que j'ai pu testé, l'odeur est agréable et disparait rapidement, la quantité à l'air suffisante (1x/jours voir 2) pour ne pas en acheter toute les 3 semaine. En ce qui concerne sont efficacité, le rendu est "brillant" et très beau, après application laisser absorbé quelque minutes pour ne plus en avoir sur les doigts si on touche sa barbe. et le touché est très "doux" Pour la discipline des poils au niveau du bouc sa fonctionne à merveille, pour le reste de la barbe qui à tendance à faire des frisottie ce n'est pas encore ça, mais sa serais bien bien pire sans. Donc au nouveau barbue ou autre qui hésite, je le conseille j'en suis très satisfait seul bémol le prix un peu cher pour ce que c'est...

Makes your beard smooth and silky…

Perfect!!! Best product I've used by far!!! Great smell and works brilliantly!!!
