GRAVE BEFORE SHAVE Viking Blend Reviews Summary

Scent

Pros:

• "It smells like really good cologne."
• "The oil leaves my beard soft and moisturized while providing a mild but wonderful scent that lingers with you all day."
• "The scent is amazing and several ladies have given me compliments."
• "The aroma of the oil isn’t overly strong, and it smells great."
• "The Bourbon scent does not leave you smelling like a drunk at all. It's a softer sweet aroma."
• "The scent is very light and not overwhelming. Makes my beard so soft and my beard loves it!"
• "This scent smells amazing and is hard to describe."

Cons:

• "Smells like laundry detergent/urinal cake."
• "Smells like an old lady's perfume. My wife agreed that it smells like her grandma."
• "The GBS Bay Rum just doesn't impress me nor the family; the scent is more on the earthy side."
• "The smell isn’t offensive but it undoubtedly smells cheap."
• "It might be a decent oil but I can't get past the scent."
• "Doesn't smell great, reminds me of febreze."
• "It is so bad and strong its compariable to spraying a bottle of perfume on your face and it does not go away."

Texture and Feel

Pros:

• "So far it softens the beard very well and soothes my beard itch."
• "It keeps my beard pretty smooth and combable."
• "This works very well and improves softness. My kids used to complain about my beard being scratchy so I tried this out and I am happy with the result."
• "The oil itself stays on what seems like all day when I run my fingers through my beard I still see the oily residue on my hand which to me means it's still there beard has never been softer."
• "Keeps the beard soft for days."
• "Softens my beard without making it greasy. Smells amazing and pairs well with my Dr. Squatch Wood Barrel Bourbon soap and cologne."
• "Made my beard soft without making it greasy."

Cons:

• "This beard oil is okay at best. It leaves your beard greasy which causes a lot of dirt to stick to it."
• "As for moisturizing and conditioning- none...it just makes your beard oily all day and I can feel the added 'thickness' and weight just sitting on my face."
• "And unlike some oils that seem to somehow soak in to the hair, this one stayed oily which I didn’t care for."
• "This stuff does not moisturize my beard at all."
• "The moisturizing was disappointing, doesn't seem to last."
• "This is super oily, leaves behind a greasy residue all day."
• "It works well for the first few hours & then I began to have an allergic reaction to it."

Packaging and Dispenser

Pros:

• "Smells great, and as a nice little bonus mine came in with a pump top when I thought it'd be a dropper."
• "Note this comes with a pump dispenser instead of an eye-dropper - which i think I like better now that I've tried it."
• "Very large bottle and quality. Nice pump instead of dropper."
• "No chance of knocking over and spilling an open bottle."
• "The dropper means you always get exactly the right amount."

Cons:

• "The rubber part of the dropper will literally disintegrate into an icky black rubber sludge over time."
• "Almost a five star review, gave it four instead. I repurchased this product because I noticed they switched to a pump, when my oil came it was the same old dropper, super annoying."
• "The rubber eye dropper has either a defect or is old. A small crack developed all around the cap part which allows the beard oil to leak out."
• "The oil has a tendency to leak out of the eyedropper."
• "However they used a cheap bottle. The plastic screw on lid isn’t strong enough to hold the dropper in place, and therefore doesn’t create a seal."
• "Fully pumping the bottle produces WAY more oil than you need."
• "It comes with a pump rather than an eye dropper, which limits your ability to tailor the exact amount you are applying."

Value

Pros:

• "The price of the four ounce bottle is an incredible deal."
• "I apply once in the morning and it lasts all day."
• "The oil keeps my beard soft and my skin healthy, no itchy, dry skin."
• "I use it very sparingly so its lasted a long time."
• "The prices are also incredible which is what attracted me to them in the first place."

Cons:

• "This was a big more money too. So I’m not sure how to feel about it."
• "Please consider fixing the packaging, as the bottle arrived with oil leaking out and some noticeably missing from an expensive bottle."
• "The last batch I received had a dramatically reduced scent."
• "The only negative is that the scent doesn't last long and that it does turn after so many months."
• "I really cant testify to it as a beard oil because my girlfriend spilled it all down the kitchen sink the day I got it."
