I don’t often review products on here, but I received a new addition to my beard care regime on Monday and felt like I needed to share something none current affairs related.

This cute little bottle of sandalwood and orange beard oil came courtesy of www.beeswaxscotland.com, I’ve spent the last few days getting to grips with it and I really like it.

It came with a little leaflet telling you about the product it self and giving you advise on proper usage. Ideal if you’re a beard oil newbie and a nice personal touch even if you’re not.

Straight off the bat, you open the bottle and you get a slightly woody, citrus fragrance, reminiscent of earl grey tea, which happens to be a personal favourite of mine. The oil itself is slightly thinner than I’m used to, but that’s not really a bad thing, it actually means that a little goes a long way. 5 or 6 drops was ample for a trimmed beard like mine, 9 or 10 would be great for something a little more bushy. It’s not a particularly greasy oil and is absorbed nicely into the beard, softening it almost immediately. The fragrance lasts pretty well, I found myself getting the occasional citrus waft well into the afternoon, though it is more subtle than the initial huff suggested. After 3 days of use my beard is noticeably softer than it was before and my comb passes through with relative ease.

All said and done I’m happy with my new addition and am looking forward to getting plenty more use out of it.
