Badass Beard Care Beard Oil and Balm Trial Pack

I’ve never used ‘beard oil’ before, so just for the helluvit decided to give some a try, and grabbed the trial pack (original scent).

The Oil:
At first I thought, “wow, this smells very ‘real'”; as in, not an artificial, obviously fake smell. It was pretty strong, and ever-present. I was like, “hmmm, not bad, but also not sure if I want to smell like this to others”. Didn’t take long at all before I pretty much hated the scent. It’s very ‘cedar’ like, I guess you could say. Sort of like you are sticking your nose right into a bag of cedar wood chips. At least that’s what it smelled like to me.

The Balm:
This is pretty much just greasy. Feels and smells mostly like you’re just rubbing Vaseline on your beard, though a bit lighter.

The package:
The presentation is actually really nice. Nice little velvet bag with a string, the balm/oil, and even a guitar pick.

The result:
Yes, my beard felt a *little* softer, and was a *little* less frazzled looking, though not much more than if I just comb it after a shower. I’m not really sure why I’m seeing so many RAVE reviews; it’s not *that* great. I can take it or leave it.

The price:
Here’s probably the bigger issue; it’s around $6 for this trial, and you really only get about 1, maybe 1.5 uses out of the teeny tiny sample of oil (see pic). I actually feel like I got a little bit ripped off on the price for the amount you get. I’d like to see the trial priced more around the 3/4 dollar mark in total (incl. shipping, et. al.). I’d like to try some different scents, but there’s not a chance in Hell I’m paying that amount again for even 1 more sample for that amount of oil, and there’re a whole lot of scents to try before you find one that you might like. On the other hand, I saw they offer a trial package of all scents (the same tiny sized bottles), which is cool, but it’s $30+ …. no thanks. Drop it to around $10 total and I’ll try it. I’d also like to see them offer that same package, minus everything but the oils (no balms, etc.), just to see which scent I like, and make it around say $5 total.

All-in-all:
It’s “ok”. If I could find the scent that I like w/out dropping a fortune in the process, I’d probably buy the big bottle of it, or even bottle(S) if I found more than 1 scent I liked; possibly regularly. But currently, I think I’ll just skip it.

We got this for my dad who has been growing his beard for the last 6 months or so w/o anything. We saw this was a Veteran owned and operated company and decided to get the sample oil and balm. We got him the lady’s man scent and It smells AMAZING. It not over powering for him or who get close to him. The balm is creamy & light weight not greasy easy to apply same with the oil. This company sent a sample Beard wash with the oil and balm. And my dad really like the wash he didnt think of using shampoo or beard wash would make a difference from soap. He told me he would definitely love to get more. We all noticed his beard started to get softer ea. day and it was laying nicer. So my mom looked into the co. and she learned they make the products to order. They dont sit on shelves for months on and you place your order they make it and ship it. So she signed him up for their club. He finished the wash off first to be expected the balm lasted about 2 wks or so and the oil he still has a tiny bit left. He was out of product before my mom signed him up for the membership and my dad just kept complaining about how he needed more Badass beard stuff. He loves this stuff and will be purchasing more before he runs out.

I originally started growing out my beard out of laziness to shave. Little did I know beards are much more maintenance than a baby’s butt face. After a couple of months of looking like a hobo (I never oiled my beard regularly because my old oil was STANKY), I found Badass Beard Care. The day I started using it, I felt new. My beard was tight, smooth, and glossy. Above that, my wife and coworkers complimented my new smell. My favorite scent is Viking (so far) but my wife likes Outlaw. Its a sweet smell with a hint of..lemon? Almost like lemonade but like.. a lemonade you want to put on your face. The scent lingers throughout most of the day without being too strong. You can still wear your favorite cologne without clashing scents. My skin is by far more moisturized and less itchy. I highly recommend this product. Especially if you are walking around with a bird nest of a beard like I was before ordering.
