Great video Dan! I appreciate you giving your honest opinion of our products!! I'm enjoying reading the comments as well... Thanks for making my day, ~Wayne
(In a DBZ yell) "WHY DID I JUST NOW COME UPON THIS, THIS VIDEO THAT COULD HAVE STOPPED ME FROM BUYING SO DAMN MUCH!! HAHAHA" to anyone left on the earth wadding thru the mass amounts of reviews and comments of this video. G.B.S. has been everything Dan has said. The wife loves the Aphrodisiac scent and I'm up to it with oils, balms, waxes, even a foam oil, btw. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. The scent changes when applied. But damnit Dan once again you have me feeling like baboo in Seinfeld 😂😂😂 oh you are most most honored man. 😅 respect you, and this video again is an unbiased view. From someone like me at one point and still has the mind to acknowledge the need. Damn Amazon 😂😂😂
This is a really good company to start with! Beard oil and beard wash would be the most important products. Here is a good starter video too: th-cam.com/video/rfwx__prn4U/w-d-xo.html
I love this company, the beard butter is the best I’ve used and I’ve tried 25 or so different companies. Oil is solid scents are basic but nice. The cigar vanilla is awesome.
A perfect review, as always. Grave smells great in its various forms. Amish, not so great. Amish is perhaps a better beard oil. But the scent just doesn't cut it. So, I don't use Amish that much now (Seven Potions, yes). Prefer to have the wife of 38 years enjoy beard oil scents that she likes. Love you, Dan C.!
NAIL IT DAN. I think at one point in my bearded journey i had all of the beard oils that these guys offer. Top sense for me is bay rum (gf favorite of all oils) cigar blend and Viking. I still order or get this as a gift and like it in bearded still. I have switched to a more local company to me for my 90 percent of what i buy and wear because i like to support local it's a really and friends. 🤙
I am a huge fan of Grave Before Shave and their beard oils, my first was the Cigar Blend and I was hooked for over a year with it, and just recently got the Bay Rum, which has a bit more of a kick to it, but smells incredibly rich, now I'm up in debate on my next choice!
I do enjoy the bay rum and use it more than any of the other scents but I heard so many good reviews that I had to try the Aphrodisiac and I would definitely recommend giving it a try!
This was my first beard oil company I found and used. Knowing nothing about beard oils I was drawn in by the artwork. I used the OG, pine, Viking ,bay rum oils and later the teakwood butter. All great products and great prices. Tip the butter goes a long way if you use it. So start with a smaller than normal amount. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
First company I used, too. It solved my beard itch and dandruff within two days. For its price it is an amazing product. Have I come across other companies I find better, yes, and thanks in large part to you, Dan. But I keep it in my arsenal for my rotation, though so they all keep feeling great.
GBS was my introduction to beard products. Really good for beginner beards and very affordable. I still use the vanilla and cigar scent to this day in rotation with Artius man black coffee oil and butter. I always recommend GBS due to quality and quantity.
I love both honestly.grave before shave and honest amish are 2 good brands. I use both actually. In the morning since i'am out i put on grave before shave for the smell and after taking a shower and heading to bed i put on honest amish because it has other ingredients for nourishment
@@DanCBearded I have tried every man jack beard butter, I don’t recommend every man jack beard butter though, every man Jack beard butter beard butter, In my opinion is way too thick, makes your beard super white and it’s hard to comb out the white.
@@DanCBearded i don’t remember you telling me that it wasn’t a butter, but thanks for the information 😀 I have stopped using every man jack a month ago Sorry if I said something that upset you, that was not my intention.
Have not used GBS products before, so i would be interested in a review of their butter and even an update on the wash/conditioner. Stay bearded and positive!!
The plus : Both are really good for your skin it will stimulate your folecules , the con if U have a sensitive skin don't put too much of it . THE smell are interesting ( OG is anti stress ) . The con the feel in beard do not last ; I had to use more than 2 or 3 times a day in my beard ! ( not on my skin ) The plus it will give extra volume to your beard . Give it a try ! THANKS DAN FOR YOUR WORK ...
I'm a big GBS fan. I've had OG and Pine and love them both. My wife and I are big fans of their Aphrodisiac scent as well -- it's her favorite scent of all the beard products I've tried from any company. It's leather & cedar. If you get their giant 4oz bottle it's a steal of a deal. Love all their stickers and artwork the send with each order. Their butter is equally awesome. Like their wash and conditioner as well. Wish they came out with CBD versions of all their scents. Keep on rocking, GBS!
I absolutely loved my Grave Before Shave products I used. It's been almost 4+ years since my last purchase but I used to use them regularly. The Cigar Sce t is more of a root beer scent to me but still smells amaizing. I also used Aphrodisiac and that was my favorite scent they carried. It's soapy clean and fresh. I used 3 or 4 others but I'm not sure what they were. I think I had the pine and a Lemongrass scent and they were solid profiles foe anyone. 100% recommended GBS products. I personally really love their Butter!!! Awesome review Dan. 👊
Great "middle of the road" oils and butters. Affordable and quality on par with Honest Amish as you have mentioned. I have Gentlemen's Blend, Aphrodisiac and the Teakwood in both oil and butter. Love all 3 scents. I like the oil and butter too. Great value for the money. I think your review hit the mark extremely well.
A local grocery store carries some of their stuff... It's a solid and respectable option... I've only used the Aphrodisiac oil, it's a nice clean soapy scent...
I always had a beard but when I really got serious about it grave before shave was the first beard oil that I got into and pretty much bought their whole entire line and I remember a couple years ago I found you on TH-cam and asked you about them and you just said they were average and I really started to watch your videos and that’s where I was introduced to other brands like Detroit grooming company, husky, beard octane Chesapeake, honest Amish, etc. I don’t know if I would ever go back to them because there’s other beard companies I still want to try. Once again amazing video keep up the great work teach.
This is my number one company. You can get their 4 oz oil for 24$. That's unmatched by any company. Their butters and balms are very soft and manageable. I don't love alot of their scents. Headhunter is by far my fav. Also bay rum. I usually use the aroma free Viking blend oil with a scented butter.
I still love GBS. Good oils with great scents and amazing butter. Little goes a long way. Love the cigar blend (root beer IMO), gentleman’s blend is amazing. Their bay rum is great too. I still buy them and wear them a lot. Amazing value for the money. Great for newer beardsman and veterans as well.
Not tried their products yet, but just bought some Grave Before Shave conditioner to try out with my current beard wash. I will definitely put their oil 4-pack on my wish list!
Grave Before Shave was the first non supermarket beard oil I tried. I was at a Gun Show in San Antonio, Texas and they had a guy selling GBS oils, butters, balms, wash, conditioner and various merchandise like t-shirts. A good beard oil and butter. The wash was nice and the conditioner was pretty good. They make good all around products and cool good artwork. GBS is definitely a good value. I haven't used any of the GBS products in a while, because I found other companies I like better, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
Been using GBS for a few months now, really enjoy the oil/butter and the wash, they're pretty good, but as Dan said, they're not phenomenal, as for the conditioner, it's decent, not terrible, not great.
Been looking for a good, inexpensive oil to use on days where I don't want to use up my more pricy oils. Will definitely be looking into GBS. Thanks for yet another great video!
@@xrayfreak5846 Now that school is out, it's not so bad. But we were always out at soccer or track. Felt like a waste to use the "good" stuff when the wind was going to mess with it anyway.
One of companies I started with. Scents are pretty good, beard butter is amazing. Their shampoo and conditioner have been better on my beard than some I’ve tried that are double in price. Bay Rum and Vanilla Cigar
I bought a that of balm with a old boxer on it and it I put it on my hands to put in my beard and as I was ruling my hands together it did not melt it stopped right away I thought I bought the Cigar one but I don't remember using it like when I thought I bought octane beard oil And butter 🧈 for me and my brother for Chritmas but I guess I did not I wanted furr tree for Christmas but I bought Santa Crack instead merry Christmas 🤶 🎄
They were my first beard oil experience. I had a deal with them to where I sold their products back when I had my supplement store. I used the bayrum scent and in the summertime I would occasionally use the outdoorsman scent.
My first ever “super thank you” on a video, thank you!! I have not tried Mad Viking. I actually met the owner and did not have a good first impression. Haven’t wanted to try. I’m sure I will one day though.
I used Grave Before Shave when I had to be really budget conscious for a period. I was buying the the unscented Viking blend in the 4 oz bottles, and refilling the 1 oz bottles. Was it the best oil I had used? No. Did it work fairly well for the time that I needed it, yes. Like you said it is a great beginner oil and much better than a lot of other "options" out there. I always steer people to the companies I love, but if someone wants a budget option I think GBS is a good option.
@@JDP2393 oh man, I'm always up for that! My top company is Dr Nick's amazing man stuff. Really amazing medium viscosity. All of their products are top notch and smell amazing. (plus their wash is a good daily gentle that isn't too stripping) Another one I really like, on the thicker side, is Artius Man. Both of these companies are essential oil only, because I am allergic to fragrance oils. One more great one is Seven Potions. I haven't tried their fragrances, but I have heard they are good. Let me know if you have any more questions!
@@reubenk7331 Thank you! Appreciate the answer. Gonna add those companies to the list and check out their stuff, always curious to see. Thanks again, lovely answer!
GBS was the first beard oil that I bought and I love it!! Great quality and good price. Their Cigar blend and caramel mocha are fantastic. Love their beard brush and trucker hats also.
I love this company. Their bourbon butter is one of my favorite scents. I started making my own products about a year ago but still keep their butter for one or two nights a week. I also recommend them to everyone who is new to beard care.
I bought the sample pack a while ago and then bought the dual pack of oil; Caramel Mocha and Cigar Blend. Both scents are great and work well in my beard and skin. The price was great too. My only slight complaint is that the scent isn't as strong as I normally like, but that's ok.
GBS were actually the first beard products I ever tried years ago after being the skeptical "do I really need to use this stuff?" type. I actually noticed a big difference in my beard and it got me excited to get more into it and try more companies. That being said, as my collection grew I actually still have my original GBS products because I didn't feel I personally needed to revisit them. All in all, I think it's a great option to have available especially for the price, and great for someone starting out or on a budget. Spot on review, Dan!
I tried GBS early on in my beardcare game. I bought Bay Rum & Cigar scented oils & butters, as well as a sample pack and their wash & conditioner. I loved Bay Rum, Cigar, OG, and HeadHunter. I also like the Outdoorsman for repelling mosquitos in the summer time. My favorite by far is Bay Rum. On to the wash/conditioner. I LOVE their wash/conditioner!! It’s unscented, but has a GREAT natural scent if that makes sense. 😅 It also leaves my beard really soft and easy to style. I’d love to hear your thoughts on their wash/conditioner.
My nose is used to the stronger scents these days, so GBS is sometimes difficult to get a proper whiff of being on the lighter side, but I do like their scents for what they are. The Cigar and Aphrodisiac scents are both quite nice, but I enjoy the tropical pineapple/mango of their Headhunter scent the most.
Glad you talked about GBS. They, IMO, are a great company. I have tried others but GBS is what I use daily. Keeps my beard looking good and price is right. They send discount codes frequently if you get on their mailing list. I really love their beard wash and conditioner. Teakwood is my fav scent right now.
I think that this is a great company and I'm not just saying that because my hometown is San Bernardino. The Aphrodisiac and Teakwood are my favorite flavors plus I have bought a few of the T-shirts...they are so cool looking...great review Dan
I liked GBS just fine, good solid products. I had the Cigar scent which like a lot of other companies had a very “root beer” type note to them (Must be a common scent profile bigger companies use)
Tried searching for a video review from you of some product by The Bearded Grenade. Couldn’t find one. Thoughts? Saw them as a recommendation based off previous beard product purchases. Packaging looks slick, but course that don’t mean squat. Thanks for all ya do!
I use Grave Before Shave's mocha oil and balm and I love it. But, I then got Fable's Scribe and the Rocket and those chocolate scents are sooooooooo much better. Grave Before Shave is a solid product still, just not my favorite.
I started with them. I have like 3 oils now. Will I buy more? Probably NOT. It’s good oil but I’ve moved on personally. Great for beginners. I like them. 🎉
Hi Dan, If there was ONE ingredient you look for in beard oil or beard butter, what would it be? Thank you sir, your videos are the most informative as well as very entertaining! Keep up the good work!!
I love grave before shave beard oil and butter but I am not to sure of their new beard cream one of the ingredients is dimethcone I think I spelled it right other way you get the idea check it out and tell me if it's ok to use
One of the first companies I've ever tried. I remember when they only had 2 scents. The OG and viking blend. Bay rum and gentlemens blend to this day. Are the best beard oil scents I've ever put my nose on still to this day.
@@DanCBearded it's probably a nostalgic thing. In the beginning there wasn't a plethora of scents from companies. So when companies started mixing it up. Those old school masculin scents were awesome imo. So everyone I smell them. Memories come with it. Probably why I enjoy it so much. Enjoy use to be peppermint, woodsy, unscented and citrus as far as I can remember. So when more complex scents started to come out. I really enjoyed them. GBS and Bearded bastard will always be to companies for me probably.
I have the cigar utility in the tin and I want to say the viking one I think the viking was the one that ended up getting stiff as soon as I applied it and I could not work it in .
@@DanCBearded yeah when I get back to the house 🏠 I will see if I have both I know I still have the cigar one that you and your wife said smells like root beer and cinnamon.
I just purchased Command’s Corner and I can not wait to try it when it shows up Wednesday. Been wanting to try it forever. I’ll be sure to let you know how I feel about it. Also grabbed the shark attack to try out
I have not tried this company....yet. But I will give it a shot. I think it's cool to go back to a company and see how they go and compare from the beginning.
I used Grave Before Shave Bay Rum Oil years ago. I remember liking the oil and scent (Bay Rum and Barbershop are favorites). I happen to still have the bottle, and the formula is different. I completely agree with your assessment.
I still use GBS almost weekly for a very specific purpose: It resets my beard after a stripping wash like nothing else I've tried. Here's the process... 1) in-shower wash and condition, 2)GBS oil and comb through, 3) GBS balm, but work it in like butter and comb through, 4) heat and style as normal. I don't use balm for anything else - only this process. I don't use GBS at any time other than this process, roughly once per week or maybe every other week. Try it and let me know what you think.
This was my first beard company ever so I have a soft spot for GBS I still think they hold up today I don't use their products like I used to their oil is good their balm is ok their butter is unique a little bit goes along way and for the price its decent the artwork is phenomenal I love the cigar blend bay rum and teakwood scents

That’s awesome!
I'm here for Father's day gifting for my husband.. so many beard products so lost.. he just begun growing his beard
This is a really good company to start with! Beard oil and beard wash would be the most important products. Here is a good starter video too: th-cam.com/video/rfwx__prn4U/w-d-xo.html
Great video & review!
Ty Dan & keep it up!
Thanks!!
Έχοντας δοκιμάσει πάρα πολλά προϊόντα για τα γένια μου κατέληξα στο GBS Μαλακτικό,σαμπουάν ,λάδι, βάλσαμο ειδικά το HEADHUNTER είναι υπέροχο ❤❤❤
Very cool!
I freaking love GBS!
Aphrodisiac, and Headhunter are absolutely killer. ✌️👍
Thanks for sharing!
They were my first beard company. I still use their cigar blend as my everyday oil and night time butter.
Awesome! I’d be happy if this was a first try company for everyone. Really good first introduction to beard products
Thanks!
Oh wow, thank you for the super thanks!!
The cigar and vanilla scent if I'm right is pretty authentic good scent.. the pomade is awesome and there t-shirt very artwork..
Great feedback, thanks David!
Their Gentlemen’s blend is excellent for the price.
Thanks Michael!
I just got the grave before shave balm, its a cedar wood and leather sent and I love it.
Oh awesome!
I love this company, the beard butter is the best I’ve used and I’ve tried 25 or so different companies. Oil is solid scents are basic but nice. The cigar vanilla is awesome.

A perfect review, as always. Grave smells great in its various forms. Amish, not so great. Amish is perhaps a better beard oil. But the scent just doesn't cut it. So, I don't use Amish that much now (Seven Potions, yes). Prefer to have the wife of 38 years enjoy beard oil scents that she likes. Love you, Dan C.!
Thanks you brotha!

Awesome to hear!!
I use their beard conditioner after I strip my beard weekly and it leaves my beard feeling soft and conditioned. I like it!
Awesome to hear Andy!
You nailed it. The vanilla cigar scent is captivating. I normally use Viking blend which is neutral. I use both the oil and butter.
Right on!
im buying bey rum. i got some beard oil already and it absolutely feels like heaven on my skin
Awesome!
Love the Bay Rum scent. The Aphrodisiac scent for the beard butter is amazing in my opinion.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

Only too a few weeks and we’re looking forward to the next product review from them!

I have yet to try grave before shave beard oil, but their beard butter is amazing. Best beard butter I’ve ever tried.
Thanks Aaron! What other butters have you tried in comparison?
@@DanCBearded I have tried every man jack beard butter, I don’t recommend every man jack beard butter though, every man Jack beard butter beard butter, In my opinion is way too thick, makes your beard super white and it’s hard to comb out the white.

My first ever “super thank you” on a video, thank you!! I have not tried Mad Viking. I actually met the owner and did not have a good first impression. Haven’t wanted to try. I’m sure I will one day though.
I used Grave Before Shave when I had to be really budget conscious for a period. I was buying the the unscented Viking blend in the 4 oz bottles, and refilling the 1 oz bottles. Was it the best oil I had used? No. Did it work fairly well for the time that I needed it, yes. Like you said it is a great beginner oil and much better than a lot of other "options" out there. I always steer people to the companies I love, but if someone wants a budget option I think GBS is a good option.
Same experience as me!
@@DanCBearded 🙂
Question if you’re up for it @reubenk7331! What companies have you tried that you love regarding beard oil?
@@JDP2393 oh man, I'm always up for that! My top company is Dr Nick's amazing man stuff. Really amazing medium viscosity. All of their products are top notch and smell amazing. (plus their wash is a good daily gentle that isn't too stripping) Another one I really like, on the thicker side, is Artius Man. Both of these companies are essential oil only, because I am allergic to fragrance oils. One more great one is Seven Potions. I haven't tried their fragrances, but I have heard they are good. Let me know if you have any more questions!
@@reubenk7331 Thank you! Appreciate the answer. Gonna add those companies to the list and check out their stuff, always curious to see. Thanks again, lovely answer!
Try the balm. I'm seriously considering adding one to my routine
You can also go up in size and improve the price per ounce
Thanks Doug! No balm for me though lol
GBS was the first beard oil that I bought and I love it!! Great quality and good price. Their Cigar blend and caramel mocha are fantastic. Love their beard brush and trucker hats also.
I need to get a hat!
I love this company. Their bourbon butter is one of my favorite scents. I started making my own products about a year ago but still keep their butter for one or two nights a week. I also recommend them to everyone who is new to beard care.
Thanks DeWayne!
I bought the sample pack a while ago and then bought the dual pack of oil; Caramel Mocha and Cigar Blend. Both scents are great and work well in my beard and skin. The price was great too. My only slight complaint is that the scent isn't as strong as I normally like, but that's ok.
Great feedback!
GBS were actually the first beard products I ever tried years ago after being the skeptical "do I really need to use this stuff?" type. I actually noticed a big difference in my beard and it got me excited to get more into it and try more companies. That being said, as my collection grew I actually still have my original GBS products because I didn't feel I personally needed to revisit them. All in all, I think it's a great option to have available especially for the price, and great for someone starting out or on a budget. Spot on review, Dan!
Awesome trip down memory lane. Thanks Ben!
I tried GBS early on in my beardcare game. I bought Bay Rum & Cigar scented oils & butters, as well as a sample pack and their wash & conditioner. I loved Bay Rum, Cigar, OG, and HeadHunter. I also like the Outdoorsman for repelling mosquitos in the summer time. My favorite by far is Bay Rum. On to the wash/conditioner. I LOVE their wash/conditioner!! It’s unscented, but has a GREAT natural scent if that makes sense. 😅 It also leaves my beard really soft and easy to style. I’d love to hear your thoughts on their wash/conditioner.
Thank you for the feedback Brandon!
My nose is used to the stronger scents these days, so GBS is sometimes difficult to get a proper whiff of being on the lighter side, but I do like their scents for what they are. The Cigar and Aphrodisiac scents are both quite nice, but I enjoy the tropical pineapple/mango of their Headhunter scent the most.
For sure. They are within the legal limit and have to be being that big of a company. The smaller guys are often times pushing the regulations
Lighter scent the better.
Glad you talked about GBS. They, IMO, are a great company. I have tried others but GBS is what I use daily. Keeps my beard looking good and price is right. They send discount codes frequently if you get on their mailing list. I really love their beard wash and conditioner. Teakwood is my fav scent right now.
Awesome feedback, thank you!
I think that this is a great company and I'm not just saying that because my hometown is San Bernardino. The Aphrodisiac and Teakwood are my favorite flavors plus I have bought a few of the T-shirts...they are so cool looking...great review Dan
That’s really cool to have a quality beard products company in your hometown!
I have the cigar blend!! Smells great feels great. Love it!!
I believe that was my first from them!
I liked GBS just fine, good solid products. I had the Cigar scent which like a lot of other companies had a very “root beer” type note to them (Must be a common scent profile bigger companies use)
Yeah, I have noticed the same
I love their cigar blend beard butter. It is the best for my beard so far. I also love their beard wash and conditioner.
Awesome to hear!
Tried searching for a video review from you of some product by The Bearded Grenade. Couldn’t find one. Thoughts? Saw them as a recommendation based off previous beard product purchases. Packaging looks slick, but course that don’t mean squat. Thanks for all ya do!
I haven’t tried them yet
I use Grave Before Shave's mocha oil and balm and I love it. But, I then got Fable's Scribe and the Rocket and those chocolate scents are sooooooooo much better. Grave Before Shave is a solid product still, just not my favorite.
Agreed fully
I started with them. I have like 3 oils now. Will I buy more? Probably NOT. It’s good oil but I’ve moved on personally. Great for beginners. I like them. 🎉
Very well said!
Hi Dan, If there was ONE ingredient you look for in beard oil or beard butter, what would it be? Thank you sir, your videos are the most informative as well as very entertaining! Keep up the good work!!
Shea is my favorite butter ingredient used
Have you tried their new Beard Cream. Been using for a month now and wow!
I have not yet, but likely will in the future!
Grave Before Shave was definitely my gateway beard company. I’m hooked now on so many products and companies.
Gateway is a great term for them!
I love grave before shave beard oil and butter but I am not to sure of their new beard cream one of the ingredients is dimethcone I think I spelled it right other way you get the idea check it out and tell me if it's ok to use
I’m for sure going to check it out
Never tried grave before shave products but since I do have an Amazon account so will give these guys a try
It is always a good option when you get an amazon gift card!
So, what is your favorite beard oil and balm? Have you tried Honest Amish?
Honest Amish is solid! Nothing bad there. Check this video out th-cam.com/video/fCDm8eqnZ_M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pqMGsbH1l7WXLHPq
@@DanCBearded thanks! I’ll check it out.
Far as color goes... Im trying Sudsy Bears Old Forest Pine Tar and that shit is straight orange. Not dying my brown/red beard at all.
Interesting!
One of the first companies I've ever tried. I remember when they only had 2 scents. The OG and viking blend. Bay rum and gentlemens blend to this day. Are the best beard oil scents I've ever put my nose on still to this day.
Big statement!
@@DanCBearded it's probably a nostalgic thing. In the beginning there wasn't a plethora of scents from companies. So when companies started mixing it up. Those old school masculin scents were awesome imo. So everyone I smell them. Memories come with it. Probably why I enjoy it so much. Enjoy use to be peppermint, woodsy, unscented and citrus as far as I can remember. So when more complex scents started to come out. I really enjoyed them. GBS and Bearded bastard will always be to companies for me probably.
I have the cigar utility in the tin and I want to say the viking one I think the viking was
the one that ended up getting stiff as soon as I applied it and I could not work it in .
Oh yikes!
@@DanCBearded yeah when I get back to the house 🏠 I will see if I have both I know I still have the cigar one that you and your wife said smells like root beer and cinnamon.
I just purchased Command’s Corner and I can not wait to try it when it shows up Wednesday. Been wanting to try it forever. I’ll be sure to let you know how I feel about it. Also grabbed the shark attack to try out
Ahhh yeah, you will love it!
@@DanCBearded just came in and let me tell you. Absolute killer scent and light feel in beard. Great job brother
It was one of the first brands I tried. It's definitely not bad by any means, but it won't blow you away with feel in beard or scents.
Agreed fully!
Love the videos. Whats the comparison between Grave Before Shave and Beard Octane?
GBS is a good entry level product and octane is next level
@@DanCBearded I'm trying to get my beard thicker and fuller. I think I might buy the vitamin set from Octane.
Hey Dan Happy Friday hope you have a great weekend
Have an AWESOME weekend buddy!
I love the pine scent!!! I really wish they had it in there beard butter
You are not the only one that has said that. Interesting!
Like before Watch)))
Thank you!!
I have not tried this company....yet. But I will give it a shot. I think it's cool to go back to a company and see how they go and compare from the beginning.
Oh yeah, they have grown so much!
Been using oil,butter,and balm and beard feels good. Scent not all that strong but nice. Would like your thoughts on the other products.
I will see what I can do, thank you Andrew!
I used Grave Before Shave Bay Rum Oil years ago. I remember liking the oil and scent (Bay Rum and Barbershop are favorites). I happen to still have the bottle, and the formula is different. I completely agree with your assessment.
Thanks for sharing Leo!
I still use GBS almost weekly for a very specific purpose: It resets my beard after a stripping wash like nothing else I've tried. Here's the process... 1) in-shower wash and condition, 2)GBS oil and comb through, 3) GBS balm, but work it in like butter and comb through, 4) heat and style as normal.
I don't use balm for anything else - only this process. I don't use GBS at any time other than this process, roughly once per week or maybe every other week. Try it and let me know what you think.
Super interesting! Thanks for sharing your routine
The only scent I like is the cigar blend.
That is an enjoyable one!
Hey, can you review Brother Nature Beard Oil and Bear Butter? Small company put of NC.
Already do! th-cam.com/video/vrpLlnqTV6M/w-d-xo.html
The caramel mocha sent is by far my favorite from them. The beard butter of that sent is a great one before bed for me.
Oh nice!
I love pine so good🔥🔥
And great video Dan C 👍😎👊
Awesome feedback!
This was my first beard company ever so I have a soft spot for GBS I still think they hold up today I don't use their products like I used to their oil is good their balm is ok their butter is unique a little bit goes along way and for the price its decent the artwork is phenomenal I love the cigar blend bay rum and teakwood scents
Awesome feedback, thanks Michael!
