Handcrafted Bare Knuckle Unscented Whisker Tamer

Constructed for beards and facial whiskers, this handcrafted Whisker Tamer is a balm that shapes and conditions.

Shea butter is frequently used for intensive emollient sealing, beeswax for shielding and locking in hydration, and cocoa butter for deep moisturization. The balm is unscented.

Shaving and beard care engage touch before, during, and after the shave. Pre-shave oils and shaving creams are worked into the skin and hair with warm, slow, circular pressure, which adds glide for the razor (Robbins, 2012). Beard oils, balms, and conditioning blends are massaged through the beard to the skin underneath, adding oils that smooth the hair surface and reduce fiber friction (Robbins, 2012). The skin and hair of the face contain touch receptors, and the pressure of working a product in activates them (McGlone et al., 2014; Löken et al., 2009). Slow, rhythmic pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010).

Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
