Great Blog! Thank you for the tips. It’s useful to those men who wants their beard soft and good.
These are great tips, and this shaving balm is decadent.
Great beard tips. I like to use a beard oil and balm my wife makes for me using Plant Therapy products. We both reap the benefits of a tamed beard.
I will be making this for all the guys in my family. They love their beards and my essential oils 🙂
Bought this set for my brother for Christmas! I love the way it smells! Hope he likes it too!
Sounds awesome! Need to get the entire beard set now.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll be making some DIY beard oil and beard butter for gifts this year, can’t wait to see how they turn out!
My husband is full on duck beard. These are the tips he way looking for espessially the blow dry curly hairs! I will be buying beard oil and balm for his stocking soon! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you, I have a very bearded man who likes to use my DIY beard products over the store bought, it’s so much more pleasant!
What else could I use beard oil for.
I have the beard oil on my Christmas list of things to get for my husband! I can’t wait to see how he likes it!
Any concern of washing the butters down the drain while shaving?
I need to get some beard oils as stocking stuffers for my hubby for Christmas!!
My son loves his beard and it definitely needs some help looking ‘presentable’. 🙂 I have this on order for a Christmas gift for him because I know he’s going to love being able to tidy his beard up and be that much more proud of it! 😀

This is awesome! My husband has a small obsession with his beard so this shaving cream is going to be so much fun to make for him and I’ll have to get him the beard oil for Christmas
I’m going to be making this recipe for my husband for sure!
I was just about to ask for a diy shaving cream when I found this… now it looks like I m going to ned to shop. In need of a coupon:)
Beard oil is my husband’s favorite! Thank you, Plant Therapy, for making incredible products that my whole family loves!
I bought the Urban Fresh beard oil set for my brother-in-law last year and he loves it. It smells really good. I would recommend it to anyone.
My husband is just starting to come around to EOs this may be a great option for him! Thanks.
I grow a beard every year and promptly shave it off every April. This looks like a wonderful shaving cream to try; definitely going to make it. Cheers!
Thanks, Ryan! We hope you love it!
I’ve been eyeing up the beard sets for my husband but wasn’t sure if he’d like both products. He just mentioned he would like a beard oil…so this set will now be u der the tree for him.
I am a beard lover and want to get the oil for the hubs who is a hick kind of guy but if you compliment him enough he will be convinced to try it, ha ha.
Kathy, I think he’ll be pleasantly surprised on how much he starts to love beard oil! It’s going to make his beard and the skin underneath feel fantastic 🙂
I’ve gotta get my husband the beard set! His hairs are so coarse. Hopefully he will use it though lol
Kelsey, I have yet to meet a man who didn’t want to stick with our beard oil once they’ve tried it! It is just so conditioning and softening, he’s going to love how it feels. Plus, since it nourishes that skin underneath the beard, it’s likely he will start growing a beard that is fuller and healthier — and what bearded man doesn’t want that??
Love the DIY shaving cream! Can’t wait to try it!
This shaving cream sounds awesome! Now just to get all the supplies to try it out!
Hope you love it, Shelby!
Definitely going to make this recipe!
Hmmmm….I think I’ll see if I can talk my husband into the beard oil!!
He’s going to love it when he tries it!
After reading this blog and seeing they have beard oil and cream I was thinking the same thing. Let me mwnrion this to my husband. He still hasn’t found the perfect beard oil yet.
