Mad Viking Beard Co. Beard Grooming Balm for Men - All Natural Ingredients, Handmade and Cruelty-Free, Medium to Heavy Hold, Manage Hair (Dragonshead, 2oz)

Great products, lots of engineering into the ingredients & the many scent choices that are not harmful. Many brands are not as described and smell to strong, like bad perfumes, or just plane smell like ass! Will be purchasing a lot more of their products.

The good:Firstly, I love this beard balm. This was my second purchase of it, so you know I liked it the first time! It is the right consistency for my somewhat coarse, medium length beard. It's not so oily that it provides too little hold and not so waxy so that it is too difficult to melt and apply to my beard. I am not a guy who wears a lot of scents, and I find that most beard oils and balms are very scent heavy, but not Yggdrasil. It has a light, bright scent. I would still probably prefer unscented, but if I have to have a scent, this is a good choice. It is slightly more expensive than the other brands I had tried, but after using it, I am definitely willing to shill out a few extra dollars because a good product is a good product.And for the problems I had:Now, I ordered this in the late spring, and we had an unusually hot week and as such about half of the balm had melted and dripped out of the container into the box. I typically try to contact the seller if there are any problems and Mad Viking did not disappoint. They responded within a couple of hours with a promise to send a replacement. Quick, fair customer service is how you build repeat customers (and the reason I chose to write a review).

I tried several beard balms. Most have alcohol even though they claim they are all natural. Not this one! All natural that goes on very nice. Leaves a mild shine and not an oily residue. Calms hairs that are out of place. Just make sure to finish with wet hands over the beard calm those hairs sticking out. After a few uses i did end up breaking out. So be careful if you have sensitive skin.

Love the smell! I work in health care, so I get "mask beard" when I put it in my beard before work since it really softens up my beard, but besides that it works fairly decent.

My go to is always shiner gold and will probably remain that way. However, this definitely gives shiner a run for its money. It is easy to get out of the tin and application is even easier. It goes on so smooth and evenly. It is the right texture and softens in your hands. The smell is on point as well. I wish it was a little easier to find the descriptions of the scents. There are a lot out there and i would like to try them all.

But well worth it.

This Mad Viking beard balm is absolutely fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for. My previous balm company changed their formula because customers were complaining that it was "too hard". It's BALM! It's supposed to be "hard" out of the jar. After they changed the consistency of their "balm" it turned out to be just north of a cream. Not quite a cream but pretty darn close. Completely took away any holding power it had before. That said...my new balm company is DEFINITELY Mad Viking. This stuff is WAY better than the original formula of my previous company. Drag a good thumbnail of balm and give it a really good rub between the palms and you're in business. The moisturizing is great and the hold is awesome! No more fly-aways...keeps everything in place for me. If you're looking to try or change beard balms you've found it right here. I really like the Ravn Rom scent but then again it's the only one I've tried so far. I might order the sampler pack. Join "The Horde"! I'm glad I did!

Love the creaminess and the scent of this product! My wife likes the smell so that’s a plus!
