Mountaineer Brand Beard Balm for Men | All Natural Leave-In Conditioner to Moisturize Dry Itchy Skin | Beard Butter Hydrates, Softens and Tames Flyaway Hair | Adds Shine | Timber Scent 2oz

Its the first time I purchased this Beard balm from Mountaineer. I have been using it for about 4 months and really like it. I like the scent a lot. The timber smells like freshly cut pine or fir. The scent fades in 10 minutes or so. It does give my beard a bit of a shine, without it being greasy. It does give some hold or control to my beard but its probably not what you want if you really need massive control. I am thinking of trying the Heavy duty beard balm in the same scent, but I would buy the regular balm again. My beard is a good four or more inches in length. What I like about this stuff is that it gives my beard a bit of hold but at the same time lets it do its own thing, and yet it looks good. I had been using Honest Amish beard wax , that's all I've used before this, other than olive oil, coconut oil or hair gel at times. The Honest Amish beard wax does offer very good hold and shaping ability, and for that I liked it, but I am tired of the fragrance. Also again the balm gives a bit of shine, the wax or at least the Honest Amish beard wax does not. Their balm may be good when it comes to that, but I don't know.

This is for the WV Timber scent. This is my absolute favorite beard balm so far. It has just the right consistency for hydration, shine, and styling for my 2-3 inch beard. You may have to rub it between your fingers a bit before applying to melt/blend some of the granules that may form. I comb some in every morning and it tames the stray hairs for the rest of the day. It uses all natural ingredients and is made in USA, unlike some of the similar looking balms on here that are lowkey made in China with who knows what. Looks to be a small business too, which I prefer over soulless, cost-cutting, giant corporations. If you want to smell like hiking through a lush evergreen forest after a Spring rain, perhaps with a touch of sawdust from crafting something on your workbench, the WV Timber scent is for you. It may seem strong at first, but quickly dissipates to a faint, but masculine scent that would be nearly undetectable except to maybe yourself and anyone who gets REAL close to your face (please remain 6ft away from me at all times for the foreseeable future though). A little goes a long way so it tends to last me a couple of months at least.

Best I have used on my beard so far. Doesn't take much. A great value. Moving to WV in 6 months and want to visit them.

I wasn't expecting it to be so easy to melt in the hands and spread. It's more like beard oil than something you would use to keep the beard in place. I guess I thought it would be more like pomade.

I purchased both the Beard Oil and the Magic Balm in WV Timber. Scent: I like it. Smells like smoky christmas tree. Lingers but is not over powering, if you use only the beard oil it stays noticeable for about 30 mins then fades into the background and is very light. If you add the beard balm it adds about an hour to the stronger scent and then fades. If you add the beard balm it adds about an hour to the stronger scent and then fades. Application: Easy to use. For the oil I put a dime size of oil in my one hand rub my hands together quickly and apply it until my hands no longer have an oil reside (about 30 seconds) The beard balm I take about a pea sized dollop and mash it with my thumb into the palm of my hand until it is all liquid-y and then apply to my beard attempting to smooth it all down. Effectiveness: The beard oil seems effective, I have problems with beard itch, and this stopped it the first day. My beard also seems softer. I do have a lot of white in my beard which is stiffer, so this can be hard to tell. The beard balm I am not so sure on the effectiveness, maybe I am not using enough or maybe my beard isn't long enough to benefit from it yet, but I still have plenty of fly away whiskers, but in general it does make my beard lay down.
