After seeing a bunch of negative reviews for most beard care products being sold on Amazon (specifically those made in China), I snooped around the 'net and found Live Bearded. I bought two of their full kits (beard wash, conditioner, oil and styling butter), three bars of scented bar soap, and their sample pack, which includes little packets of the four kit products in all their scents (excluding any seasonal or special scents). So, in effect, I've tried all their products and all but their limited edition scents.The products are good. All but one of the scents are nice enough (and yeah, manly enough) to be used every day, and except for the oil and butter, are subtle enough to be hardly noticeable -- which is kind of a good thing, since the scent lives right under your nostrils all day. The one scent I wasn't fond of (Tombstone) wasn't horrible, just not my thing. The bar soaps are handsome and feature the same scents as the beard wash/conditioners. They are the durable kind of bar soap, that doesn't lather a whole lot and therefore lasts a long time. The scents are again, rather subdued, which is good or bad depending on your tastes.The products were a bit slow to arrive in the era of next-day shipping expectations, but they arrived in perfect shape -- no damaged bottles, no melting or "consistency of grits" angst like in a lot of the negatively reviewed Amazon (made in China) products. LB makes their products in the USA, if that matters to you. I notice that they do sell on Amazon, so it is possible (if you don't care about the reward points) to get free, next-day delivery by ordering there instead of on the LB site.The wash and conditioner feel good when I'm using them, and I do think my beard is actually softer from using their products than from using nothing at all or using regular hair shampoo, which is actually not at all good for facial hair (it removes important oils and dries your beard and facial skin out).My only gripe is the price. $20 is a bit steep for an 8 oz bottle of beard wash, even compared to other 8 oz bottles of made-in-USA, all-natural beard wash, such as from companies like Mountaineer Brand ($16 for 8 oz, a whopping 20% cheaper!), whose website is so similar to Live Bearded that it has made the search "are Live Bearded and Mountaineer the same company?" an autofill search on Google. Tl;dr? Good products but up to 20% more expensive than similar products. Ships pretty slowly by modern standards, but you can alternatively order from Amazon and get the usual Prime benefits.
