Why YOU Should Switch To Beard Butter

This is my opinion on why beard butter is better than beard balm...nerds

Any fears about wax not allowing hydration are way overblown. For one, you shouldn't be relying on your balm to hydrate. You should use an oil or butter to hydrate first, then use balm for hold. It remains breathable, too - we're talking about beeswax and other natural plant waxes, not silicone. If it's suffocating your beard, you're using way too much. If anything, though, it would probably keep moisture in as much as it would keep moisture out. So once again, if you're properly conditioning with oil, it shouldn't be harmful in any way.

I see the same concern expressed with shoe polish, and it's the same principle: you apply conditioner and cream polish to the shoe first for hydrating the leather, then you apply wax polish for shine. The only way you can go wrong is by only using wax polish. Even still, the problem is the lack of conditioner, not the use of wax.

But yes, if you only want to use one product, beard butter seems like the way to go. But there should be absolutely no harm from using waxy beard balm, provided that you also use beard oil or some other conditioner.

The balm was cool when my beard was smaller, but using a butter at this stage of my journey works much better. Good work Scuba👊🏽! I need to try that Royal Beardsmen!

Honored to have our butters featured on your channel Scuba 👊 This video is 🔥 💯

I’ve tried both and I switched over 8 months ago. I’ve been using Live Bearded since then and I love their products. Great stuff and very reasonable prices.

I like both. I use butter daily, just a little for a softer beard, or sometimes a little more butter at night as almost a leave in conditioner, but for styling I do like just a tad bit of a strong hold balm, but I rarely use that daily. If I had to choose, beard butter is a miracle worker, and it's important because it will keep your beard nourished, butters and balms are so different, it's a weird thing to compare. Great video as always.

I still have a lot of balms left, but I just bought cork town from Detroit and literally used it once and told my gf that after most of my balm is used up, I’m switching to beard butter. It just feels so much better and has a better consistency to me.

Oil is for the skin
Balm is for style
Butter is for nurishment and condition at night

What do you mean switch?

Now I know exactly how I developed eczema and how I can grow my beard back better.

Ok I have a question - do you have to wear pants with this shirt or the shirt itself is totally enough?

If you have a wavy/curly beard and you want it more sculpted but natural looking, use a heat protectant, blow dryer, and a round brush then butter after. Along with what Scuba said with a good trim.

Having a grey beard, I switched from balms to butters last year.  I was noticing that the wax leaves a residue and over time it will give my beard a brassy/ dull look.  Since switching I've also noticed that my beard has less drag when combing and brushing.

Great informational video for some of the newer guys. I have to agree with you about Royal Beardsmen. I've been using their products (including the beard butter) for about a year now, and also use the Dragon Spice at least 4 times a week.
My girl loves the smell of it, and actually all the ladies at work say I smell like cookies. I'm always getting compliments on the smell of it. Again, great video and stay bearded 👍

I use beard butter at night before bed, makes morning routine much easier

2 comments: I finally figured out what the funky smell is when using some products. In your DIY beard butter video you mentioned that Shea butter can have a play doh type smell, and while that’s not the exact smell, I now know what it is. The second thing, I have big issues with my face drying out under my beard, especially as it gets longer and in winter. I like how I can use the dropper and literally put the oil directly on my face. Do you find it’s more difficult to get moisture to the face when using butters?

El humidor man! My favorite. Also, royal beardsmen is great all around. Thanks for your videos dude. I referred to you and Dan C when I first started getting beard care products. I've been considering starting my own channel because I have some ideas that I want to share with the bearded world. Keep it going dude. You're awesome.

I just switched from balm to butter after watching some of your videos on the subject and I started co-washing and my beard looks and feels better, I still use balm on occasion but only because I need to use up what is left of my balm .

[billychapman]

Beard Balm is a must once you pass a certain Length for sure...Also., , I took your advice and just ordered a Aberlite Max Beard Brush...👍. Cant wait to try it out...

@06:05 the word you are looking for is "viscous", from the noun "viscosity".

Oooohhh yeah

[grimgrinningghosthost]

I think the Shea Moisture beard line is underrated. I think their products work well. Awesome smell. I like using it. I am going to look into beard butter tho.
