This one is about @dear_barber Beard Balm.

I am a sucker for good presentation and Dear Barber’s classic and stylish box and metal thin can wins me over.

The industry hasn’t reached that point where there is a universal size/format for beard balm. I have come across 120 gr can, 60 ml jars and a few other sizes. Dear Barber has gone with a 30 ml can.

Sporting a short beard, generally less than 3 cm, this is a perfect size for me. I find it actually very convenient.

On the ingredient list we find coconut oil (caprylic/capric triglyceride), Shea butter, Bees wax, Oat Kernel oil and, Olive oil.

DB is not claiming that this is a full blown “natural” product, but it is close to it and there are none of the chemical nasties.

As for the scent, the takeaway is classic and fresh to my nose. If I break it down, I smell cinnamon which is cooled down with a lemon/lime citrus. Simple but effective and very agreeable!

The balm itself is easily scooped out with the nail side of my finger. A breeze to smooth out by warming it in my palms. Lastly, very easy to apply!

As for the beard test itself, I was very impressed as my beard lapped it up quickly leaving minimal to no residue. My beard and mug felt refreshed and entirely itch free. I didn’t feel the urge to apply a second coat later in the day, so long lasting.

TAKEAWAY

Comes in a practical thin can. Smells lovely and will blend easily with other colognes. Great performance on my beard.

This gets the full 5 stars!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

SHAMPOO BAR + SOLID CONDITIONER

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

A few weeks ago I reached out to the community looking for suggestions for natural shampoo and conditioner bars.

Why am I looking for such products?

Google this:

“Common chemicals in shampoo and conditioners linked to hair loss?”

Then look at the ingredient list on your bottles.

So here we are.

Among the suggestions that came back for natural bars, one was from @mauvecreationspardanielle with who I have worked with before.

Danielle is a local Artisan/Soap Maker with a rather impressive range of grooming products for both women and men. I love what she does.

Into the shower for a hair wash!

NETTLE SHAMPOO BAR

• Rinse hair
• Gently rub the shampoo bar to create some suds (nearly instant)
• Wash
• Rinse

SOLID CONDITIONER

• Gently rub the little bar on your hair
• Massage in and let sit for 2-3 minutes
• Rinse

RESULTS
Having used a few natural soap bars on my hair to date, I knew what to expect. The majority of shampoos and conditioners out there coat your hair with silicones and other gunk to make it look and feel heavier.

Basically, when washing with a natural soap all that extra coating is removed and your hair feels incredibly light. It is almost disconcerting at first, but it feels good.

I loved how gentle the Nettle shampoo bar is and yet I felt like I got a deep cleaning. No excessive dryness which makes the hair all tangled and squeaky.

…and I haven’t even used the solid conditioner yet.

By the time I was rinsing the solid conditioner out I could start to tell that my hair was in a new state. Like a full reset in the most natural of ways.

After the blow dry, it was obvious how good this was on my mope. No dry scalp, very fluffy, and soft.

TAKEAWAY
Incredibly easy to use. After a week and half, my hair feels amazing!

OBSERVATION
Since all that build-up was washed away, my styling products behaved a bit differently. Basically, I am working with better volume and texture right out of the gate.

PS – The next thing I will be looking for is a natural leave-in conditioner.

HEY COOL PEOPLE!

This week STYLE4MEN hit a bit of a milestone and reached 5900 fans (followers).

It is humbling and exciting to see that there is continued interest in our stories, posts and reels.

Thank you for engaging and hitting that follow button.

A special thank you goes out to all of the Brands, Artisans, Barbers and Shops that work with us because without exciting stuff to feature, it would just be me with a camera sipping a cappuccino.

- Ummm, maybe that's an idea for another side-project? ...Focus Dude and stop it with the side-projects!

From the content creation side of things, it is rewarding to see how our presentation has changed and dare I say improved over the course of this ride. It's never really clear what I am enjoying more, the grooming experience or the photography.

In short, thank you for joining in the fun. Thank you for sticking with us!

Can we reach 6000?!?!?

BEARD BALM EXTRAORDINAIRE

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●

Yes, during the unboxing when I first smelted Oud Noir, I got a green vetiver like element with forest wood which I said was like pine.

Well, I was way off. The scent is in fact WAAAAYYYY more subtitle and pleasant. The true aroma reveled itself when I scooped the balm out which released the fragrance elements trapped in the solidified oils.

As per Milkman:

• Top: Bergamot, Balsam, Ozone
• Mid: Ho Wood, Almond, Green Grass
• Base: Oud, Sandalwood, Musk & Tonka Bean

As is often the case when I wear a fragrance, it’s the base notes that show themselves best. There is a real sweetness from the oud, sandalwood and tonka bean, then the green grass brings in a herbal freshness. To my nose the it’s a sweet wood event, wrapped in green freshness and it’s a winner!

As far as the beard balm portion goes, this is an impressive product. Easy to apply and blend in. Leaving no greasy residue (quick absorption). Very effective beard itch calming. I hadn’t put any beard product for a few days and was starting to scratch. Instant and all day relief .

Rock Star Oils:
Coconut, Jojoba, Hemp Seed, Argan, Avocado, Olive, Agarwood.

TAKEAWAY
An instant favorite! Delicious scent. Top beard care performance.

PS – Yes, there is a typo on the lid and Milkman already has a new lid in production. That said, I am thrilled they didn’t wait for it before sending me this beauty.

BARBERSHOP DEODORANT by @lathr_com

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Getting yourself a natural deodorant is a must! OK STYLE4MEN, what are you suggesting?

I have just the stick for you! It’s by the folks LATHR and it smells great.

The Barbershop signature is composed of the following notes:

Bay Rum, Patchouli, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Vetiver

To my nose the sweet Sandalwood is the top note.

In the ingredients you won’t find:

• Aluminum
• Sulfates
• Parabens
• Petrolatum
• And it’s NOT tested on animals

Goes on dry and the scent is just strong enough to be noticed.

How long did it last?

I moved through the day confidently knowing that I didn’t stink of B.O.. For the first few hours I could discreetly identify the sweet Barbershop fragrance

TAKEAWAY
Fantastic smelling natural stick that lasts.
