Another pirate-worthy balm, this tin contains a mix of the finest butters and oils. The scent is described as invigorating, but it won’t overpower you or compete with your cologne. When you first open the tin, you might be dismayed that it smells like Vapo-Rub. However, once it’s in your beard and airs out for a few moments the scent turns to a pleasant, mild citrus.

For men who grow a thick, curly beard and want to tame the bush, this is a great product. It even helps with beard dandruff and itching, as the soothing oils help keep your skin from becoming irritated. For a busy man on the go, one application lasts all day long.
