Relaxing Beard Balm for Men (Naked - Unscented) – Tames, Relaxes, Thickens & Softens for Ultimate Beard Care – Made in USA

I have on & off grown my beard to different lengths or had a goatee. I used to keep it to a rather short length because every time I tried to keep it at a more substantial length, I started to get flaky skin or dandruff (that I dislike and am sure most people agree with me). So to get more to the point, I started looking into skincare products & beard care products. I had a rather good experience with a few skincare products but kept having problems with my beard.I tried Initiative Citrus Aroma beard balm (by: Can You Handelbar) with their horsehair brush. The brush I love, the balm... Not so much, not very citrus-y & after about a day it starts to stink (in my opinion). I then turned to Beard Butter General's Blend (by: Bearded Soldier), that I really like the scent of & it works wonders for my skin and flakiness/dandruff. The only complaint if at all with it is that it does not tame my beard as much as I would like. So I looked at reviews of Bossman products & decided to give them a go.I would like to begin by saying that I am rather glad I did try them out. I went for the Beard Kit (Beard Oil, Conditioner & Balm) in the Magic Scent. When my order arrived the Bossman products were very securely packed in a separate; almost if not totally airtight package inside of a larger box with other items I ordered from Amazon. So if I think of some other reviews about other products I looked at on Amazon that I saw coming to people having leaked out & into or onto other items in an order, this should not be a problem in my opinion with the Bossman products. Nice touch Bossman.At first impression of the scent, I was slightly unsure I had made the correct decision, but after having used the products, asked others around me of their opinion plus getting compliments on the scent, I am rather happy with the scent. If I had to be super critical, I might like a hint more vanilla scent, but that is just my personal preference & in no way diminishes from the way it smells as is. I started off trying out the Beard Oil (Jelly) & yes it is WAY more gel or jelly like than any other beard oil I have looked at or used. For me I am greatly liking this feature, it makes it less messy and more user friendly. It also seems to be absorbed fairly well after a little while, of course depending on the amount you use & how well you rub it into your beard.On the third day I used both the conditioner & balm as well as the Oil/Jelly. I took a shower & tried out the conditioner while I was at it. The scent is rather strong for a conditioner but pleasant so I did not mind. I was a little sceptical of the conditioner when I made the initial purchase on Amazon but figured why not give it at least a try. I also was slightly surprised at how small the bottle is. Now, I have tried all kinds of regular store bought conditioners on my hair & beard but let me tell you straight off the bat that this is NOT your average conditioner. Wow did this surprise me in a good way. After putting a small amount in my hands & rubbing together and massaging into my beard it was like I could almost "feel" it working. I must admit that this is the most "feel" I have ever felt from any conditioner in my life & after the shower I am positive that a great deal of the scent of the conditioner lingered in my beard. Trust me, I did rinse thoroughly. Bossman state that this conditioner is to be used only two times per week so perhaps they have made it so intensive that it really REALLY works. Perhaps I may becoming a believer in conditioner, specifically this one. I would however greatly like to see the conditioner in a container at least twice this size available.After the shower in which I used the conditioner, I then went on to using the beard oil/jelly. After it had been absorbed for a little while I then tried out the balm. It smells nice and does melt into a much more manageable form after being rubbed vigorously between your hands/fingers. I rubbed this through my beard, let it absorb a bit & then combed through using a beard brush I have and I must say that I was quite impressed with how much brighter, younger and healthier my beard looked. I have dark brown hair verging on black & I am starting to get a bit of grey hair at my age and I am sure that this not only makes the dark brown look blacker (something I like & consider a plus) but also makes the grey look better (I did not think that I would ever say that my grey hair looks good, who would have thought). I would not go so far as to say this balm works like a wax but it definitely tames my beard better than many other products I have used. It could of course also be a combination of using all products together.I seldom write reviews but with these products being of such high quality & a pleasant surprise, I felt that I had to give praise to the Bossman. Overall in almost every way I am very satisfied with my purchase, the products and their usability.To Bossman: Keep up the good work and high standard you have on your products.P.S. If made available, I would definitely purchase a kit or package deal on test size (very small) beard oil/jelly in all scents available so as to better be able to decide on what scent to go with on your products.

My beard has never been tamed so easily.I've kept my beard to a short goat for many years. Any time I tried to let it grow, it became too strong and fought for dominance over my face. It was curly, wavy, unruly, and grew in all directions. I was far too weak to fight it. Recently, I decided to try and grow it out. I went through many products to try and quell it's bloodlust over my bare skin, but most could only hold the line against an overwhelming force; all were easily defeated. Thankfully, I discovered Beard Jelly; it gave me the strength of Grayskull (which is odd considering Prince Adam was clean shaven). Maybe it came from his battle cat.As soon as I started using the nectar called Jelly, my beard calmed itself in it's own serenity. It found joy in the relaxing hydration I now gave it. It even gained extra length from 4cm to 5 (25% gain? I'm not math, but it sounds right), and also grew in volume. My beard found new strength in tranquility; more than it ever had in its previous violent rage.But, seriously, this product has been great. I apply in the morning, after washing twice a week (with the fortifying conditioner), and before bed. Before bed has really shined; morning maintenance has become much easier and quicker. My beard has been fuller and straighter with much less effort. And the Magic scent has been great.Scent is subjective; not everyone is going to like it. My experience has been great. I enjoy it, and have received many a complement for it. It also lasts all day. One application in the morning still resonates when getting drinks after a 10-hour shift in the kitchen; I'm very impressed by that. I have seen a few reviews that have complained that the scent is too strong. I will admit: I was worried on my first application due to how strong it was; but, once it set (after about 10 minutes), it mellowed out nicely. Some might be using too much (I use less than a pea sized amount for myself, and I've seen some impressive beards use not much more than that... i.e. say a nickel sized dollop if you play guitar for ZZ Top).One unexpected benefit from the Jelly (and the balm, oddly enough) is that I've noticed a drastic difference in the dryness of my hands. Both the balm and Jelly feel more like lotions, than they do oil and wax (which is what you usually get), and I was surprised to find it wasn't just a feeling. My hands have had less dryness and cracking since I've been using them. Could be just me, but it has been a noticeable difference.Back to the subjective nature of scents: I've spoken with the company (trying to order a non-existent sampler [hey, doesn't hurt to ask]) and I was told if I'm ever not completely satisfied with the scent, that my order would be replaced with another set, easy peasy.It wasn't until I was writing this review, and checking my sources and correspondence, that I realized that all my e-mails had been with the founder of the company. He was the one who sent me the initial follow-up e-mail prior to my purchase, and has been corresponding with me since; I think that says a lot about this company.All in all: I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I couldn't be happier with the company. Took my beard from Cringer to Battle Cat!

1st: The scent. I got the "Magic" It smells like sugar and vanilla. It's a very STRONG scent that last hrs. The scent is too strong for me personally and almost makes me nauseous because it smells so sweet. Sweet like cotton candy, not sweet like good.2nd: Results. I used the jelly first, then applied the balm after, the hold is ok, the shine is decent. I would say it might work better for beards 2inch and under. For the 4inch and up club not much hold. I've also tried blow drying the product in which seems to hold a little bit straighter but still not working as I would like. I'm looking for a strong styling hold and this is more of a soft medium hold. Would have been 4 stars if not for the scent.3rd: Recommendation: I would say if your beard is short in length this might work for your needs if you can deal with the scent. If I could have smelled before I purchased I would have not bought this scent. It would have been an easy pass. I would have preferred a non scented. And as far as the hold, soft to medium hold not really for styling. But works well for soft to med hold if that's what you're looking for.I have been using for about a week and I'll continue to use just because there is so much of it in the bottle and I don't want to just waste the money. But the scent is gonna be the hardest thing to deal with. I'm looking for more of a cologne scented firm hold styling product. The search continues.UPDATE:Bossman reached out and advised I could return my scent for another. I returned and got the Gold scent and is so much better! Its a smooth citrus scent that's not too strong and does not last more than an hour or so. Really pleased with the customer service. Changing from 3 stars to 4. THANKS BOSSMAN!
