Honest Amish Extra Grit Beard Wax - Natural and Organic - Hair Paste and Hair Control Wax - 2 ounce

I'd like to comment on my first impressions with the extra grit before I compare the two. First off, concerning what others have said: -It doesn't leave your beard feeling like there's sand in it. The grit is very fine and I only notice it when rubbing it in my hands. Don't worry about the grit! -it is very dark, so if you have a white beard I wouldn't recommend it. -The smell is strong in the can, but will die down after a little while. I don't think that it smells much like liquorice from the anise, more spicy like clove. As to the smell I like it a lot. The original does have a stronger anise ( liquorice smell) and I like the scent of that one too. -It's very easy to rub into your hands and the beard. I would say softer then the original wax. -now as to hold! Honest Amish says this is on par with the original wax, but I have found it to be slightly lighter than the original. As far as hold goes in the lineup I'd say (lightest to heaviest ) HD beard balm(light), extra grit wax(light/medium ), original wax(medium ). -also, as advertised, it works very well as a hair balm. I have short hair about an inch or so on top and tight on the sides. -Has a matte finish to it, and the original wax has more of a shine. So all in all I like this wax for what it is. Great smell. Doesn't make my beard feel sandy like I thought it would. Light/mid hold(works best with a freshly shampoo'd beard, I know some only shampoo a few time per week). Works in my hair. If I would to choose one over the other I'd think I'd go with the Original wax over the extra grit(but that could change), as I like the stronger hold and I don't mind the shine. I've never tried the original in my hair, just beard. As with all honest amish products its all made from quality ingredients and they're a great company. Hope this was helpful. And beard on! *update* After using the extra grit for a few more days some other things I've noticed. -after applying to a clean beard out of the shower, it seems to almost dry and is not waxy like the original. - it give my beard a lot of body, more than the original I'd say. The more I use this wax the more I like it! I think that maybe I now like this more than the original. Definitely try it out and don't judge too quickly.

Exceptional product. I have yet to find anything that comes even close to the quality of this beard wax. To start this is not a girly beard wax for only styling. I'd even argue that its probably not for everyone if you are partial to a specific perception of what a beard wax should do for the beard or how it should ultimately improve the aesthetic quality of your beard. I have a very coarse curly beard that with age has grown to develop a lot white hair. This beard wax does an amazing job at sculpting my bread when wet ( which is when I prefer to use it ) or when its dry. If you read the ingredients label on the box you will find that this beard wax does double duty: provides enough stiffness to sculpt the beard but also is a super amazing emollient rich beard wax. I said super emollient rich; not greasy. Okay so now for the compromise: I've read a few reviews on here about the scent and grit tint of the beeswax. Here is my opinion: I don't like scents that smell "manufactured". This beeswax smells earthy and natural where licorice root is one of the main ingredients of the aroma therapeutic oil composition. For some it might not be a preferred scent. I happen to like it very much because it is consistent with other scents I enjoy like Malin and Goetz Cannibus Oil and Aesop Marrakesh Intense. About the tint. I tried once tinting my beard with over the counter beard color. I'll never do that again. The tint of this beard wax is not an artificial color or dye. The grit color is natural and for me it helps to balance out the differences in tone in my beard. Overall I'd say depending on your beard type and grooming preferences, this beard wax is an amazing product and it does exactly what its advertised to do.

It's a good product, for men with hair colors other than white. It's easy to scrape out with a fingernail and to apply. It has a nice scent. It adds body and medium hold. It's not sticky. What I don't see mentioned anywhere in the ad is that it is very dark brown. It's as dark as some hair gel I bought, not realizing it was meant primarily for Black people. If I had read the reviews I would have seen the negative comments about it. The ingredient list includes powdered black walnut hulls. It's a deliberate choice. That's fine for people with hair colors compatible with that. The company needs to note the color prominently in the product description, to prevent men with white beards from finding an unpleasant surprise when they open the can! I had to apply a coat of white temporary hair color over it. If you have a darker beard, this is great stuff for you!

I first ordered this product nearly two years ago in 2019. I really enjoyed it as it had good hold and wasn’t greasy. However I didn’t order it again, because it had a strong liquorice smell and the grit easily got under my short nails. I’ve now ordered it again in 2021 and the product has gone from good to great!!! There is no longer a liquorice smell and the wax has more a neutral tea/peppermint smell. It still has very good hold for shaping a beard (though it’s more a balm with wax and hold, as opposed to having the strength of a pure wax), and thankfully Honest Amish has solved the grit under the nails issue! I have Afro hair and would 100% recommend this product. It is dark in texture so may work better with darker coloured hair, however it does dissolve well into the beard. I liked it back then, but I’m a true fan now. Safe to say I’ll be sticking with this product for the foreseeable future.

Excelente opción para mantener la barba en su lugar. Tengo que usar saco y corbata entre semana y esta resultó ser la mejor opción para mantener una barba profesional. Como dice la caja, con muy poco logras grandes resultados. La consistencia es rara cuando lo emulsiones, se siente como arenosa, pero creo que eso es lo que hace la magia y la barba no queda tiesa en lo absoluto. El olor es imperceptible así que combina bien con otros aceites o loción. Y si todo esto no fuera suficiente, decía que me llegaría en una semana y me llegó al día siguiente! Gracias Barbería Capital.

Top as usual, it’s my preferred product.

Pure and original.

This stuff is great, you can feel the difference in your beard after a few uses. Definitely not a styling balm, but it rocks as an overnight leave in.
