JB makes some really fantastic products. People around here seem to love Nivea, a corporate giant, but I have found the scent of their products far too strong for my liking. A couple of them actually made my >60yr old face break out. JB doesn’t.The two products don’t get the respect they deserve because the are offensive to some. Just imagine having one product that is completely superior but you just can’t seem to admit it due to tradition and long held beliefs that old fashioned soap and a brush are better. I only use the Beard Lube but the cream looks amazing too.
I have grown tired of searching for an artisanal soap that doesn’t irritate, doesn’t smell overpowering, and most of all, is available in the same formulation when I need another. That is rare. I’ve settled on prep and post products from JB, and soap from PdP, although I’m interested in trying the beard lube now. Even on weekends, I like my routine to be simple and easily accomplished. I don’t want a dozen steps that must be followed precisely or risk a pool of blood or irritation. Been there, done that.
