Reddit reviews Honest Amish - Classic Beard Oil - 2 Ounce

Here’s my two cents on my suggestions and personal routine.

For me, the most important thing when starting out is to apply beard oil daily. Yes, daily.

Start your morning with beard oil. Place the bottle right next to your toothbrush so right after you brush your teeth, you are applying the oil. I can't overstate this enough.

For my beard I use 8 drops of beard oil every morning, which when dropped into my palm measures about the size of a dime. That's plenty.

When beginning, start with 2-3 drops and work your way up monthly until you reach a dime size (maximum nickel size and that's for much longer beards than mine) and make sure you get that oil right into your beard and onto your skin. Trust me, your face will thank you later.

I can honestly say I've never experienced the "itch phase" do to disciplining myself with the beard oil, some days applying it before dinner when I get off work after a long day (I work outside for FedEx so my beard takes a pounding with the wind coming into my truck and the elements).

In regards to my personal routine, I comb the beard oil through my beard with a Kent comb (highly recommend!) upwards, then downwards — getting all the oil into all parts of my beard — and then after this I apply a thumbnail size amount of beard balm, repeating the same process with my Kent comb, up and down.

After this, I apply my mustache wax. I use about a half of my thumbnail. That’s plenty to get the ‘stache to stay put.

I rub the wax between the pads of my index finger for about 10-15 seconds to get it pliable and then apply with the assistance of my thumbs, working my way from the center to the ends.

I comb the wax through a few times with one of those small mustache Kent combs and then lightly use my fingers to form the handlebar.

The entire process takes no more than 5 minutes. Certainly beats shaving, which I despise.

Here are the 3 products I’ve been using over the last few months of growing my “yeard” (year long beard) and have been VERY satisfied.

1️⃣ Honest Amish Beard Oil

2️⃣ Honest Amish Beard Balm

3️⃣ Bearded Bastard Mustache Wax

All the best on your beard journey. 👊🏻

I also have a beard. I usually keep it relatively short, but since I've grown it out, I've had this same issue. I tried beard oil (specifically this one) and a beard brush (this one), and since then, I've been beardruff free! The oil really helps keep your skin healthy, which prevents any flakes from forming to begin with, and the brush helps the oil really get in there and keeps your beard looking good.

Of course, I oil and brush my beard every morning after showering, and I would probably recommended anyone else with a beard do the same, but to each their own.

Also, check out this post on /r/beards that's helpful for learning about beard oil

Edit: Also, other people mentioned using normal shampoo/conditioner on your beard. DO NOT DO THAT. The types of oils in your beard are different for those in your hair. Using normal hair care products for your beard can result in a dried out beard, split ends, and other issues.

I'm also a fan of Honest Amish. They make a nice beard oil as well as the balm. The balm seems to give more control as far as styling, but most days I just use the oil. Feels niiiiiiice.

> I hear beard oil is a wonderful thing..have you ever tried it?

I was getting by alright with just like conditioner and some face lotion. I tried oil for a day or two and it's way better. Yeah, just get some. I got this stuff

It wouldn't hurt, but may not be worth it to be honest. My beard is somewhat thick and wirey, but I keep it relatively short and I didn't use beard oil for a while because I thought it was gimmicky. I tried it eventually and while I don't think it really softened it up a ton it did help a little and I don't get "beard itch" anymore. If you find that your face itches under your beard then yes I'd say try it, if not then don't worry about it. This is what I use, it's not too expensive (some oils get stupid expensive) and lasts a while so if you're interested you can always get some and give it a try. All you do is put a dime size amount in your hands and massage into your beard and skin after you shower and you're good to go (I'll usually comb it through just get it distributed evenly as well).

I personally use this beard comb and brush and Honest Amish Beard Oil. I really like the way Honest Amish products smell.

When I first started growing my beard I watched the Beard Baron on YouTube. He's got some great videos on how to take care of your beard.

That sounds exactly like my issue and I definitely want something that can smooth it out and soften it. Ill post a few links below to the products I have used and still have. These are direct from my purchase history.

You never know unless you try. You need to start stimulating your hair follicles to promote growth by applying oil and brushing gently. Every morning and every night: Wet you’re beard with warm, NOT HOT, water, pat dry until your face is slightly damp and Start using 3-4 drops of beard oil. Rub it into your hands and then gently massage the product into your beard. After the oil has been properly massaged into your skin and beard, lightly brush your beard downward with a boars hair beard brush (you can save the comb for when it’s longer) to stimulate your hair follicles and evenly apply the product. The amount of oil you use and the tools you use for your beard will change as it gets longer but these steps should be enough until your beard length reaches like 0.5 inches in length.

Honest Amish makes a good product and it's reasonably priced. Can't recommend it enough. Amazon store link

I’m not super experienced in the beard area, as I’m growing my facial hair for the first time, currently 5 weeks in. I just received Honest Amish beard oil and balm/leave in conditioner yesterday and love them so far. The smell is like black liquorish and it leaves me feeling soft.

Honestly most oils are going to have the same effect.

That being said, that oil is pretty expensive.... $20 for 1oz??

I use Honest Amish -- $14 for 2oz.

Honest Amish smells nice and has been pretty good.
