PRODUCT: Thirsty Beard - Grove Beard Oil

I have a similar life experience to that of your own. Due to various responsibilities and expectations I have never taken the opportunity to grow out my whiskers and experience my inner lumberjack outwardly.

It was just about 7 weeks ago that I was on a work trip and I found myself without a razor. The trip was extended and when I returned home to Utah I had a good three and a half weeks worth of stubble grown. I just let it go! And boy have I enjoyed this journey of growing out my man fuzz. But, I am not going to lie…  a journey it has been. There were a few times that I almost picked up my shaving cream, lathered up, and went back to the clean face I’m all to familiar with. 

About a month ago I came to find out that you were in Portland going to school and experimenting with making beard oil! I thought this could be fun. Since that day I have anticipated quenching my beard with some Thirsty Beard Oil! About two weeks ago I received my very own bottle of Thirty Beard Grove Oil. I would like to tell you what I have experienced for these past couple weeks.

1. My wife is encouraging me to grow my beard further!!! She is awesome and always accommodating to my aspirations but she normally gets fed up with the “gnarlyness” of my facial hair and is really excited when I have a clean face. Since I have been using Thirsty beard my beard has gone from coarse and rough to soft and fluffy like. She loves running her hands through my beard. It is now commonplace for her to run her fingers through my beard saying “It’s soooo soft!”
2. I love the “Grove” scent! I can’t quite put my finger on the scent but all I can say is that it reminds me of home. It’s just strong enough to smell but in no way is it overpowering. I am sensitive to smells and was concerned with it being overwhelming. It is subtle and refreshing and I look forward to applying it DAILY! Hahaha against instructions to do it every other day. It has become part of my everyday routine.
3. We all know what it feels like to have an itchy beard. For these two weeks I haven’t had any itch. I truly believe that your oil has conditioned my skin underneath my whiskers and helped me grow a healthier beard. The experience has been quite enjoyable/comfortable. I wonder what growing my beard would have been like at the earlier stages had I gotten my hands on this oil sooner??? hmmm
4. I love the shine that the oil gives to my beard. This has helped my beard have a more professional appearance for work.  I do grow a full beard regardless but I have noticed that my Thirsty Beard Oil has kept my beard “together” giving it a fuller well groomed look. My employer is not the biggest fan of facial hair. It is fun to get compliments from him…and unusual at the same time!
5. I love the vial/applicator. It makes it easy to get the 3-4 drops I need!

Overall, this is an awesome product that I plan to use daily! I’m excited to try all the different scents you have been experimenting with. As a lumberjack at heart I think I would like a scent that is a little more “woodsy” or a scent that has a fresh evergreen scent to it. Anyways, I love your product and look forward to supporting it! This beard isn’t getting any shorter! Thanks again Zach! Loving this stuff!!!

OH… p.s. My beard is currently 10.77 years old and counting!
