It hurts, it tickles, it&#8217;s gross, it&#8217;s tangled, it&#8217;s itchy, etc, etc&#8230; I have heard all of the complaints from my wife and kids as well as received some stranger than usual looks my way while rocking out my un-managed facial masterpiece. One night my daughter would not give me a bed time kiss and while she was smiling and giggling about it I asked her why doesn&#8217;t dad get a kiss and she pointed at my beard as if it were a monster. My heart broke. It was at that point that I knew I needed to do something. I felt like I only had two options, cut it all off or start actively managing this mess. I chose the latter.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for me LovelyBeards.com reached out recently wanting to send me some <a href=\"https:\/\/lovelybeards.com\/\">organic beard oil<\/a> and balm to get my dad-ish opinion. I have never used any sort of oils or balm on my beard before so I wasn&#8217;t exactly sure of the best way to approach this nest so I did a little research on YouTube and reached out to a few buddies that have some magnificent beards and asked what would be the best way of going about this.<\/p>\n<p>Lovely Beards sent over some incredibly nice smelling vanilla sandalwood oil and balm. Holy smokes these both smell amazing. I had always though my Old Spice was nice but this scent is just spectacular. I can&#8217;t stop taking in the lovely aroma. But enough of that, how does the actual product stack up against my birds nest beard?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6940.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-3273\" src=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6940.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6940\" width=\"318\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6940.jpg 640w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6940-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6940-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_6940-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/a>It stacks up very nicely I must say. The oil and balm are easy to get into the beard and almost immediately you can notice a difference in feel. I would like to imagine that with continued use of these two products my beard will eventually be as free flowing as Fabio&#8217;s long hair.
