Grave Earlier than Shave™ Cigar Mix Beard Balm (Cigar/Vanilla scent) (2 oz.)

Very sophisticated but classy!
If James Bond had a beard, he’d probably use Grave Before Shave™ Cigar Blend Beard Balm. This balm is like a classy cigar lounge for your face, with a smooth cigar and vanilla scent that says, “I’m sophisticated, but I know how to relax.” It keeps your beard soft, manageable, and smelling like a gentleman’s club—minus the smoke. Plus, at 2 oz., it’s small enough to stash anywhere but strong enough to make you feel like you should be sipping whiskey with your feet up.

My wife (and a random bee) absolutely loves the smell of my beard
My wife is so happy with me using this! It smells so good and makes my beard look fantastic!I did have one situation at my dad’s for a barbeque where a yellow jacket was hovering in my beard the entire afternoon. It wouldn’t stop following me around his backyard and staying in my beard! I can only assume it’s because of the balm because it didn’t follow anyone else! I don’t blame him, it does smell great.

…and this balm was a win!Growing out my beard for the 2nd time and learned that they make special products to keep those things healthy and looking good! So it was between the Striking Viking and this one which is a few bucks more but Grave Before Shave is a little more diverse with their scents and that’s the reason I went with them first.I did a lot of research before getting it so I knew what exactly I needed (choosing the balm over the butter).I have a 1 inch beard as of writing this review so I don’t think it’s a must but I think it’ll serve me well in the long run.I don’t really remember what cigars smell like but this smells like a vanilla soft-serve/donut/cookie/dessert and a Yankee Candle kind of smell (so definitely don’t put this on if you’re hungry) and it hydrates your beard and skin just like oil does just without the greasiness. The smell also doesn’t last all day but you can still feel and smell it if you finger-comb your beard a little bit.I know they say you can use it for styling and shaping but honestly, I don’t see how much styling and shaping you can do if your beard is on the short side but for longer ones, I can see it helping. Also, I don’t get it out of the tin with the back of my thumbnail like they say to do because it hurts my finger since it’s very hard for me to do so I just use a guitar pick if I’m not using my fingertip and I seem to have good luck doing it that way.What can I say about this beard balm overall?I think I made a pretty good choice for the money I paid and will be getting some great value out of it in the months to come. Will check out some other brands in the meantime but this one seems to be pretty dedicated!

Grave Before Shave Balm: Vanilla Cigar. Winning!
Preface: Growing a full beard for the first time and a heard about beard balm. Quick search and I discovered Grave before shave. I orderd the sample pack of oils and they are f’n awesome. But I wanted something to help tame my curly mane. So, i ordered beard balm.Initial impressions: This is a quality product. Easy to use. Smells A-Mazing! Of the beard oils, there is not a scent I dont like. But this Vanilla Cigar must be a new “flavor”. I hoped it smelled like sweet pipe tobacco…and I am not disappointed! If you are unfamiliar with beard balms, they use natural “butters”, bees waxs, and oils to make a product that is a bit firmer than, say, cold chap stick. Not too hard, but when to but some in the palm of your hand, it begins to melt into a fragrant oil-ish substance that you can work into your beard.Final thoughts: Quality product. I’ve orderd Grave before shave products from Amazon & Directly from their site. Fast shipping. The product has badass art. Smells like a bad ass, pipe smoking gentleman. It leaves your beard soft and tame and smelling of vanilla-ish pipe tobacco. Sent last longer than beard oil. Stronger at first and slowly dissipates over time. Beard feels soft and supple all day. Although you can reapply as need or as you want. Is it the best beard balm in the world? I dont know about that. But for the price, its a steal. Buy it now!

I’ve used a few beard balms. This smells amazing, great wax/oils and instantly took bears to next level. No more flyaways.Very happy dude.

I have had a beard coming on 10 years now, I have used a few beard balms and never found anything I really loved, until now.This stuff is amazing, smells amazing and the scent lasts for ages unlike most balms. It emulsified really smoothly and went on the beard no problem with no lumps. Beard looked great, nice shine and held shape really well.Look forward to trying all the other products available by these guys

Lovely smell and moisturising from this balm. Only extra benefit would be a bit more hold but otherwise cannot be faulted.
