I'd say balm or oil, both should have a similar effect, it really depends on your preference. The Balm kind of breaks down to almost an oil and then you work it in that way.I would leave the wax for styling your beard or mustache, almost like pomade for your hair. The balm/oil will make it softer and relieve the itching and a wax will shape it. I hope this helps.

I know that with the balm my beard has become much more manageable. I don't have near the stray hairs that I used too. The balm will certainly make your beard softer but don't expect miracles to happen either. Your beard will never be as soft as the hair on someone's head. Beard hair is just way too course. I personally mix balm and oil together and get really good results.

I use the Honest Amish balm to soften and the Honest Amish wax to style. The balm is great for moisturizing and softening, but it probably won't make the hair any easier to manage. A tiny bit of the wax, however, works very well for that.

Your beard will end up being shiny. How much...depends on how much you apply. I use very little and the shine is there. It's a good product give it a try.

A sweet beeswax . It's not off-putting , but this stuff is tough bro . I have to heat it up with a hairdryer to melt the wax so I can put in my beard and tache

There are some great tutorials on youtube (easier to watch than for me to explain.) I suggest watching "The Beard Baron" - this dude knows what he is talking about. I noticed a difference in my beard texture in about a week.....but honestly, that stuff felt great from the start. I still use it every night before bed (after shower - make sure beard dry) and a little bit of oil in the AM before work (I have cedar scented oil made by Mountaineer Brand).

My beard isn't particularly wirery, so I'm not sure that I am fully qualified to answer. However, given that my beard is about medium scruffy, the balm softened it down to a "soft scruff", if you will. I definitely wouldn't expect this product to work miracles. If you have relatively moderate expectations, you will not be disappointed. I'm sure it will soften up your mane, just not to unreal levels of softness.

Not likely, it's oily, not tacky. At least, it's not designed to. My beard is pretty thick and coarse, so that generally doesn't work for me, but if your hair is thin or maybe even more average thickness, I could see that as a possibility. Sometimes I use it for a similar purpose after a washing, but that's to manage a bit of wildness, not to round up hairs going the opposite direction. I would say you'll have to decide how likely it is to work with the beard-type you have. Otherwise, you can always try a mustache wax, using a very small amount.

This is used to condition and tame a beard. it will not make your beard thicker, sorry.

It will make the beard in its growth process appear thicker. Fuller by adding a coating to the hair. Conditioning the hair and giving it a slight shade darker. Making it grow faster? Maybe by giving it it's best upkeep. Otherwise it's just your genetics

Yes, it's the most effective product I have tried. It makes my beard smooth, soft, and has a nice smell.

You could use any 'food safe' mineral oil. For this special board I'm using 'Butcher Block Conditioner' by Howard Products Inc. It has food grade mineral oil & natural waxes.

It makes my beard which is considerably longer than 3 inches very soft, even after its been completely absorbed. So I don't think this is what you're going to want for hold. I would suggest their wax, if it's anywhere near as good as the balm you can't go wrong. This stuff is an absolute must for me from now on.

My son uses the balm, and trust me, it's the best. His beard is so well kept now, and he no longer has hairs flying off in all different directions. I purchased this for him after he saw a man with a very well kept beard, and asked him what his secret was, and it was Honest Amish.

I've used both, but the smoothest shave will come from a product that does not foam up. I wouldn't recommend either typical shave "cream," which is foam, or the gel, which turns into foam as soon as you smear it around. Very little of the foam is actually at the point of contact between the blade and your beard, so most of it just goes to waste without helping lubricate. If you don't want to mix your own cream in a bowl, I recommend something like Cremo Cream Cremo Astonishingly Superior Shave Cream, 6 Fluid Ounce . I got a couple bottles for free several years ago in a promotion, and I've never gone back to shave gels out of a can.

Sorry I do not have a beard. Occasionally I will not shave for 3-4 days and when I use the Braun it shaves very well. I love the Braun

My husband uses it as often as he can. Sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. He will usually rub it in then comb his beard. It is not greasy at all and his beard feels so soft. I don't think you could ever use enough!Maybe try morning and evening? :) hope this helps.

It depends on where you want to wax on your body. I use more of a course wax for my eyebrows. I found that that wax that came with it was to soft for me.
