Natural Man Bay Lime Beard Oil - All Natural Beard Conditioner by Botanical Skinworks, 4 Ounce

Just so you know, I paid full price for this beard oil. No discounts, no promotions.This is my second bottle of this beard oil. I have used it for a long time. It has always treated me and my beard well. As with many idiot guys though, I always want to try other stuff because as good as this stuff is, there might be something better (keeping in mind I am totally satisfied with this oil). I figure the cost per ounce (comes in 4 ounce bottle) to be roughly three bucks. I see lots of much more expensive oils (i.e.$20 per ounce plus), so I tried the one with the very best reviews, not only Amazon reviews, but the many others I found on the Internet for beard oil.I got some of the "high priced spread" a week ago. I really was excited and thought this had to be better than the Natural Man I had been using. It was not! The fragrance is fine, and the consistency is about about the same, but it my beard didn't absorb it well and worst of all, it made my skin feel dry and itch. Please understand as I do, every man's beard and skin is different, so it probably works well for others, just not me.Having said all of that, I think I have an average beard. It isn't curly or kinky on the one end of the scale, and not wispy on the other end. My skin is average to sensitive. The Natural Man Bay Lime Beard oil is perfect, at least for me. I apply it to my beard when it is just damp from the shower. It absorbs quickly. I finish my morning nonsense, then when I'm dressed and finished with everything else, I apply two more drops, massage it in, and comb my beard. The fragrance is pleasant, but really isn't noticeable after half an hour or so. It keeps my beard soft with no greasy residue to rub off on my collar. Gives a clean look, but not oily. My wife thinks my beard is very soft... a very good thing. It treats my skin well in that it does not ever itch or feel dry, but it does keep it soft.Again, every man is different. For the $17 per ounce difference for the expensive stuff I can buy a bottle and a half of this stuff, which would last me upwards of a year or more, and does a great job. Try some like I did, but don't be fooled by the price, high or low. This oil is certainly worth a try, and if you're anything like me, will be the best you will find at any price.

Got this for my boyfriend, who has been growing out the ol' beard this year, because as it was growing rather longish, it was also feeling dry + itchy in the undergrowth. He really likes it, and told me I could put his thoughts into a review for others.PROS:-Great price.-Nice pump, so not messy.-Smells good, but wishes it lasted longer and/or was maybe a little more strongly scented. (Reason for 1 star deduction)-(I *also* think it smells good, which is a pro, imo!)-Softens the beard and helps with the itchies.CONS:-"Uh, none."There you have it. He and/or I would buy again.(...Though he is considering letting me customize my own mix of oil + essential oils for him so he can get a longer-lasting, more personalized fragrance. :D)UPDATE: 12/13/2015: At the rate of being used a couple times a week this bottle lasted almost a full year. We went to try something else, but it had a fake fragrance along with the essential oil, which we noticed because the bottle had a leak and the smell was overpowering in the box when we opened it. So we returned that one for the damage and didn't reorder due it due to the scent being so bad. Then we reordered this because, well, why mess with awesome? So he agreed I should add a star to this review, having used and liked the product so much, for so long and to keep wanting to reorder it over the other brands we bought (and returned) or he was gifted when he began growing the beard out. The smell is great - he and I both agree on this - and it makes the beard soft, squelches the itchies. It is long lasting as a little goes a long way. Also please note: my boyfriend says this feels best - and works best - when applied just after your shower. Hope this helps! And enjoy your awesome beard!UPDATE 12/04/2017: Wanted to drop in an update. I am putting this on Subscribe and Save order. This is the 4th bottle we have ordered. It lasts a long time and despite trying a few other brands, this is his favorite beard oil and we just don't bother ordering anything else now. 100% recommended for a great scent (we both like it, which is important), a soft beard and a cure for the common beard itchies. And although it doesn't replace the control power of something like a wax, it does help tame fly aways a bit, too.
