How is this for hold? I have a goatee that is about 3" now and looking for some hold + moisture

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.

It does a decent job, the main things is that it makes ur beard much more soft and controllable which is a plus, this stuff is a must for any facial hair

This is not a mustache or beard wax. If you are looking for hold you want a wax. If you want to get rid of the out of control hairs and look well groomed and have a soft manageable goatee then start here. And add a wax later if still needed.

It has a light hold but it is a good conditioner. May not be the product you are looking for.

I know what you are talking about trust me. What I found to work (to give you that light weight but great hold without the greasy look) is to apply a small amount onto your damp hair and blowdry heat while brushing your hair to desired position. Once hair is dry, apply another small amount to your palms and spread throughly on your hair to its desired position. Done. Light weight but great hold.

It says in the instructions that beard hair is too dense. My brother is pretty hairy and I was going to recommend it to him to use on small area where his chest hair comes up over his t-shirt collar, because I know that bothers him. It's fairly painful, so I would recommend trying it on a small area and then see how it goes. It does take a few months at least. Hope that helps, good luck!

My beard is just getting curly on one side - and the balm does not seem to straight en it out. I like the product and it was working great with a shorter beard, but you may have to try a thicker product. I'm going to keep growing and see how it works out.

The commemt before me is correct, if you want something that is water based that doesn't dry try suave groom and clean, but it's not going to have the hold like these kinds of pomades. This is probably the third strongest pomade I have used.

honestly im a really hairy guy and this last about 3 shaves. after that it starts to get dull. If you want the closest shave possible on your back.. buy it. I wish it lasted longer but that's the price one pays for being hairy. :)

This acts more as a conditioner. It's terrific for keeping your beard from drying out and helps to keep it more manageable. It really doesn't work like a wax though. If you need to shape.your beard, I would look for a true wax. I would probably use both if my beard were longer.

I have the same problem beard as you. You will be very pleased in the results. It is great !!

I agree with many of the other commenters that it comes out of the tube fairly stiff, although not as stiff as toothpaste. I am able to get decent coverage simply spreading it with my fingertips which I moisten one or two times with hot/warm water while lathering. I wouldn't say it lathers up as thickly as canned shaving creams like barbasol or edge gel, but the point is simply to soften one's beard and have enough lubrication that the razors glides over one's skin.

That is an individual issue based on your skin and condition of your beard in relation to it. For myself, a good soap brushed in with a quality brush is all I need. After shave is another story, if preshave works better for you, then use it.

Not sure how to answer. Try going in a different direction. Make sure your skin is dry and the hair is long enough to grab.

>Is it still tacky?Yes, it can remain tacky for quite some time. It'll set and harden after a few minutes, but it's still sticky. You'll feel it on your fingers if you go back and re-adjust your 'stache. When it dries it goes from "cream/waxy" to "dry, but sticky".>Will it hold 5" well?I met a guy with handlebars to his ears (when uncurled) and he uses Clubman. I've found the longer, the better. Short hair fights harder against wax than long hair, in my experience. I tend to get droopy "fangs" if the middle isn't long enough, but the curls hold strong all day and even through boxing class. (Not a joke. It really does.)Extremely massive handlebars might require glue-sticks or hairspray. >Is it still tacky?Yes, it can remain tacky for quite some time.

If you dont think this is long enough for your beard, I would suggest trying to find a trimmer for your head. It would have longer clips.

The way it works is that the Ice King's beard is just a little pliable. You just lift up on the beard, and there's a Ricardio-shaped hole there. Works great, and Ricardio doesn't fall out.

I got one tin for my bf and gave it to him on christmas...he's used it pretty much everyday since and has barely made a dent in it. His beard is about the same length as his neck (almost touches his upper chest) and he uses just the right amount so it's not greasy...so I'd imagine it lasts pretty long. Sorry I can't give an exact amount of time etc...

I don't think I'd recommend that. This stuff is as tacky as modeling clay and getting it thin enough for such a surface area would be really tough. Recommend finding a beard-specific conditioner. For mustache use I continue however to respect this wax. And use it weekly.

If you are using it as a balm or conditioner like it is intended, you just use a bit less and massage it in. It doesn't have the consistency of a wax, so don't go into thinking it is a sculpting wax type product. It's a great conditioner, you just have to tailor the amount to your beard. It doesn't take much in the palm of your hand. for a fool beard, I use less than a "dime size".
