Reddit reviews Grandpas Pine Tar Soap, 4.25 Ounce

For my seborrheic dermatitis, Grandpa's Pine Tar soap. It smells disgusting, but it really does calm and keep flare-ups to a minimum.

Gather round, it's story time...

I purchased this shirt from Amazon and had it on when my mom and sister came over for a visit. They lost their minds.

For my dad, we gave him a wrapped and framed picture of me holding the positive test. I also gave this to my mom after she stopped freaking out over the shirt. Some people find this weird but it worked for us.

For my husband's family (parents plus 4 children under 10) we gave the two boys Uncle Ben's Rice and Uncle Sam's Cereal; we gave the two girls Aunt Jemima Syrup and Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix; his mother got Grandma's Secret Spot Remover; finally, his stepfather got Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap (which smells terrible, by the way). We wrapped these items and waited for them to figure it out. It was so fun!

Disclosure: I saw the latter on YouTube but I don't have the link.

Avoid head and shoulders.

A post I made earlier:

I am no expert, other than my almost 2 yeard. Here is what I do & I do not have problems with itchy, dandruff, etc.

Clean: I use Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap. http://www.amazon.com/Grandpas-Soap-Co-Pine-Ounces/dp/B00028LN1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373586004&sr=8-1&keywords=grandpa+pine+tar

I use it for my head, beard, and really, everything else. Never use dandruff shampoos. This is great for the whole body, and easy to bring with you.

I give my beard a good wash (with soap above or another brand, which is the same brand of conditioner below) a few times a week. Depends what I did during the week and whether it needs it.

Condition: Every time you wash, condition. Even when you don't wash, condition. 5-6 times a week.

I use these guys: To smell good: http://www.amazon.com/Organix-Nourishing-Conditioner-Coconut-Ounce/dp/B000TG850M/ref=sr_1_4?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1373586168&sr=1-4&keywords=organix+coconut+milk

To aid with repair: http://www.amazon.com/Organix-Anti-Breakage-Keratin-Conditioner-Ounce/dp/B00ADR6L08/ref=sr_1_6?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1373586204&sr=1-6&keywords=organix+anti+break

Follow directions on bottle. Easy to use.

Post shower: Let's talk about oils, etc. Many things you can use. Stay away from creams. Hard to get to skin without making beard messy. Pick any oil (coconut, argon, hempseed, grapeseed, jojoba, etc). The key is to get it to your skin and also on your hair. That is where Mr. Boar Bristle Brush comes in (see below).

Before I leave this section, check out: http://www.amazon.com/Organix-Nourishing-Coconut-Breakage-Serum/dp/B000N758A2/ref=sr_1_2?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1373586204&sr=1-2&keywords=organix+anti+break

I use this to help tame fly-aways during the day, or if I feel my beard needs a pick me up. They make several varieties, so the best thing is to get into a store, smell the ones you like, and try. Again, using regular oils works the same.

Brush: This guy is your friend. It doesn't pull hairs, causing breakage. It also goes deep and helps spread those oils throughout your skin.

I enjoy washing my whole head with this soap..

It completely go rid of any itching I had but the scent does not appeal to everyone. It has a piney, smokey scent but I enjoy it.

After a shower and once my beard is mostly dry I apply beard oil. This is the brand I use..

They have many interesting scents like fresh cut grass and bacon. I got the sampler pack and I have tried them all. Sometimes I like to do half my beard in maple and the other half in bacon so my beard smells like breakfast all day. It's nice.

I brush my beard a couple times a day just to keep it from getting too tangled. It's good to not brush it too often so that it keeps hair loss to a minimum. that's about all I do and here is the current eight month result..

I hope I was helpful and if you have any questions feel free to comment. I am far from an expert but I'm always happy to share what works for me.

/u/chiseledface says that Grandpa's Pine Tar soap smells 80% like Roam, but I haven't tried it yet.

This is the best soap I have ever used in my beard http://www.amazon.com/Pine-Tar-Bath-Products-Size/dp/B00028LN1K

Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap. Only for real men...and some pregnant women judging by the reviews

Not a doctor, nor have I tried this product so I realize that this doesn't sound all that convincing. But I have heard absolutely great things about this soap (in addition to the great reviews posted, as well). Hopefully, you can buy it in Ireland somewhere.

Piggybacking on this, Dr. Bronners is great. Seems like he was looking for something a bit manlier than what they offer, though, so I'd recommend grandpa's pine tar soap
