After using beard products for several years - probably since ‘18, I’ve come to better understand them. I say that because Honestl Amish was one of the first beard balms I purchased.
To me, Honest Amish beard balm could be described as more of a butter. A beard butter. I’ve seen or handled some butters and I’m not a fan of beard butters. Be also owned beard balms that break down fast in the hand and can be applied almost like an oil or butter because of the consistency of the product when broken down in hand.
Honest Amish does provide some hold and if applied properly, isn’t greasy or very oily. It does provide a light hold. It is not firm such as the balms from Luxurious Bastard or Honyocker. It is definitely not as light of a hold as some of the other products I’ve used such as Grave before Shave and some other smaller local brands.
With the scent not being overpowering and being of something like licorice and cloves, I do like it. And a little product goes a long way in the beard. I am looking to purchase Honest Amish Heavy Duty. I have washed a couple of videos online about the heavy duty bomb and it is not a firm hold but then but it is a stronger hold than the original which is what my beard needs sometimes. I have gone from using this product every now and then to probably just about every day this past week. It has grown on me. I have several brands and do like to use them all. It’s either because of the scent for the hold or it’s just the product my beard needs at that time. Not all balms are the same and I do try to stay away from corporate brands. Mainly because they contain ingredients that can dry out of beardOr just cause it to be frizzy or have issues. Anyways, leave a comment if you have any questions. I hope that this will help someone out there because I struggled with my beard for a whileUntil I started watching videos and doing more in-depth reading and research.
