Average Bros The Workshop Beard Oil for Men, Cedar, Sandalwood and Spruce

Some beards hit a stage where the mirror shows more wire than whisker. The hair grows in coarse, it pushes back against the comb, and the skin underneath starts showing dry flecks at the collar line. Most fixes on the shelf answer that with a colognestrength fragrance and a grease slick that lasts until lunch. The Workshop takes the plainer road. Sweet almond oil softens coarsefeeling hair and conditions dryfeeling skin. Jojoba oil balances moisture so the beard settles into a smooth, conditioned feel. Grapeseed oil keeps the blend light enough to absorb readily, and vitamin E oil supports a healthylooking, conditioned appearance. Five ingredients, small batch, made in the USA, and not a drop of hype. Then there is the scent. Rustic cedar out front, aromatic sandalwood underneath, freshcut spruce running through the middle like a board fresh off the saw. It is the smell of a grandfathers Northwoods workshop, the mound of clean sawdust behind the garage, hand tools hanging on the pegboard, warm and woody without drifting into perfume. If autumn woods and a workbench sound better to you than a fragrance counter, this is your morning scent. The routine stays simple. After a shower, draw a dimesized amount with the glass dropper, rub it between your palms, work it through beard and mustache, massage it into the skin beneath, and comb through if you like. The oil absorbs without a heavy, sticky, or overly oily afterfeel, so it wears clean under a collar all day. Flyaways settle, the look of dry skin and flaking beneath the beard fades, and what is left is a softer, smoother, more manageable beard with naturallooking shine. One amber glass bottle holds 2 fl oz (60 mL) and lives easily on a bathroom shelf or in a dopp kit. It fits morning grooming, postshower care, barbershop finishing, and daily maintenance of the beard you already have.
