Grave Before ShaveGentlemen's Blend Beard Balm (Bourbon Scent) (2 oz.)

Perfect scent! this was actually one of the more tough decisions on a purchase that I have made in awhile. I wanted something that smells subtle, manly, and not perfumey, citrusy, minty, or like sun tan lotion. I like bourbon a lot, but I wasn't not sure that I wanted to smell it all day on my face. I took a leap and I love it! it really doesn't smell like bourbon (which is good.) Its scent is tough to describe exactly, but it has a certain woodyness that actually reminds me of vintage wood furniture (namely the teak early 60s hutch that I use as my liquor cabinet) with maybe a super light bit of vanilla. It is subtle, but there all day, and my wife likes it too.But how does it perform?? this is my first time using a beard balm so I don't have much to compare it to but it has been just the ticket to tame my beard. It doesn't plaster the beard into place, instead it seems to condition it, which calms it into submission. I actually find combing it later in the day has better result than right after application. It doesn't take much, and it is not greasy at all.I will be re-ordering once I run out!

Grave before Shave products are amazing. I have thick, course facial hair that gets extremely unruly. In the morning after showering I take a little of this stuff and massage it into my face and everything settles down and looks groomed. The Gentleman's Blend has become a favorite for me, I like the pine scent one too for that manly smell, but this is the smell of sophistication and awesomeness.The scent is amazing. Very subtle and not overpowering, you'll smell it as it's right under your nose - but it's not going to make people across the street notice. It gives a nice sheen without looking oily and slickIt doesn't have any real hold as such, but I can style my beard with this in. Whether I want a neat trimmed look or a mountain man bushy look I can achieve either using no other product than this.I've also noticed less ingrown hairs and a general healthier look and feel to my beard and I've only used Fisticuffs/Grave before Shave products over the last month.I endorse this product as a fine balm for men with real man beards where oil just doesn't cut it.

GBS balm works great for a light hold and gives you a hefty amount for a good price. I read everyone say this was the best scent. I honestly don't even smell anything so I'm not sure what they are talking about. It just smells like bees wax. So if that's your thing I'm sure you'll love it as well. I wasn't impressed by the smell. But good product if u want more of a hold with out a clashing scent to any cologne u might be wearing. So plus there. Check out GIBS if your looking for a balm with more of a cologne scent. But it has a very weak hold. So it's has it's own flaws but smells great. All depends on what u really want in your balm. I use both (not at the same time obviously) lol.

Really nice. Simple and clean smelling.

There was a time in my life when I was unable to grow a beard. I would try and try to do so, to no avail. My subpar beards always looked like someone had sprayed my face with 3M Super 77 glue and rolled me across a barbershop floor.Finally after 40 years of life and 3 children. I am able to grow a proper beard. I decided to celebrate this achievement with the purchase of some beard balm. Enter "Grave Before Shave".This delicious smelling and satiny blend of glory, masculinity, and class will instantly make your balls grow like the Grinch's heart and your voice drop an octave.This is a magical blend of the essence of Winston Churchills brilliantly elegant oratory skills and Marine Corp Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock's tenacity and grit in the face of all odds. Coalesced into a sweet-smelling beard softening and controlling balm.It is legend that the reason for the smile on Babe, Paul Bunyan's blue ox. Was the refreshing smell of Paul's Bourbon scented Grave Before Shave wafting across the sweet north woods air, copulating with the smell of the majestic white pines and calming that big blue ball of muscle, bone, and sinew.You cannot go wrong purchasing Fisticuffs Grave Before Shave. But be warned that it refines masculinity in such a way that it may cause lesbianism in women.You should be warned that you may be drawn towards the purchase of a monocle and top hat.

Great product! This is my first time using beard balm (I used beard oil before). It rubs clear in your hands and I haven't experienced any wax balls. It seems to soften my beard some and even provides just a slight amount of hold and has also helped straighten my beard which is a huge plus. As far as the smell goes it's very subtle and pleasant, not overwhelming at all. It smells a lot like vanilla to me, I don't really get much of a bourbon scent from it. I will definitely purchase more when I run out of this tin, possibly maybe mix it up and get one of the other Grave Before Shave balms.

One of my favorites. My wife loves the smell too. Has a better hold than most and isn't to greasy at all. High quality compared to other brands.

I'm a big fan of GBS beard care products. This one is another hit for me. It says Bourbon scent but me or my wife don't get a bourbon scent at all from this. It's more of a clean almost Irish Spring soap smell. Very pleasant. Not over powering I love it, wife loves it, so well done. A little goes a long way. My beard has been growing since Oct of 2018 and this product work great for my beard. My beard is white with some light gray in it. The product does not discolor my beard at all. Again big fan here!
