Hey so I'm literally brand new to beard growth only 2 weeks in so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. I'm just discovering products have a beard wash coming in today from beard club but I have both wild willies hemp seed beard oil the dropper bottle one (1st one I bought) and good fellow from target as I love that whole line in general. I think both work very well at mildly soothing the itch and irritation, I don't feel overly greasy with either use 4-5 drops two times a day. The smell doesn't stick around more than 5 minutes and both are really mild which is fine. But that's about it for me. Will definitely be exploring other options not out of dissatisfaction but just to test the waters
Not watched yet but if Honest Amish isn't here Ill be disappointed. Their premium oil is an amazing value if you're not worried about scents. I'll even mix in a couple drops of it when putting scented oils in because it leaves my beard feeling good.
@Doctor Nick - yours is my first oil from a small batch beard company. Only had bulldog and KCG until now. I've used your oil and butter for a couple of days and I think I'm already feeling the difference! 👍👍
I pretty much exclusively use honest amish, but have wanted to branch out and try more store brands as im a more “buy it in person”, person. Only other one i have tried was cremo but my beard got dry using it despite their pleasant scent.
Honest Amish is by far the best budget option for a beginner. Was a guy all about the beard a few years back, then shit went downhill. Anyway, back in the game and glad to see a very awesome product still on the market. 💯 best affordable starter available, and will always keep them in my bag.
I bought the Honest Amish and like it ok, except it seems to give off a scent or gas that makes my contacts blurry. True story. I’m very careful to thoroughly wash my hands after using beard oil but it seems like it gives off a gas if you will, that screws up my contact lenses. I’ve never grown a beard before and am about 5 months in. I made the mistake of allowing my wife to trim the sides near the sideburns and it hasn’t looked right since. I’m brushing daily and I guess I need a shampoo and moisturizer because my beard feels dry. Thanks for your videos.
Good to know there are some readily available oils that aren't bad. I have not tried any of these but the licorice scent is actually pretty tempting with Honest Amish!
I definitely plan on looking at all four of these and picking the one I want to try thank you for your education I do not feel like ordering online right now and I don't know how long I'm going to keep the facial hair but I want to treat it and keep it soft and healthy.
Great video Dan! After watching this I honestly regret not giving honest Amish a try when I was in the beginning stages of my beard journey. As always very informative.
Excellent, needed short video. We have different noses. I love dark musky blends. Also outdoorsy essential oil scents. some spicy. Barbershop type are of NO interest. I love scent of "Honest Amish." I don't like the scents of Target "Goodfellow" product and I can't even comment on the feel. Am not using the 2 or three I bought 3 years ago (past time to dispose of). Bulldog is satisfactory. Of these, I have not tried the 'Shea.."
Now that Beardbrand has 4oz for $26 would they now fit this category - but they may not be in stores. I saw them in stores before they moved away from 1 oz bottles. Maybe new larger size are not in stores.
or spend $10 for 2 oz ostrich, 1 oz emu, or 1 oz squalane oils. 1st 2 are from the internet. Ulta sells squalane. Nicholas Beard Works and Alley Cat (expensive very highly rated) uses these. Dan C didn't mention Bromley's beard oil. I thought it was lousy.
I have a question. You say that the Bulldog beard oil is a solid option, but you don't recommend some other beard products of theirs. I'm looking to switch from King C Gillette, since their beard wash irritates my skin like crazy, causing wounds that would release liquid and creating huge chunks of dandruff or just the wound scab. Would you recommend the Bulldog beard wash? Thank you
@@DanCBearded yeah, sorry. I meant the 2 in 1. I guess I won't buy that one either haha! European supermarkets don't have a wide variety. I guess I'll give Prorasso a try. Or if you know any good European options, I'll give them a try 🙂
i got bulldog atm because im in the UK and we're quite limited on the more budget/ beginner end i feel like it absorbs really well into my skin as compared to others ive tried that left me feeling a bit greasy, i use beard butter too and i think the both go together great
Great options, but my favorite budget store brand is Everyman Jack, both oil and balms are solid choices. Stay away from their butter though. Their wash is ok, but a little too stripping for my taste.
I use the Everyman Jack products. Curious about what you don’t like about their butter, not challenging your opinion or anything, it’s just the only butter I’ve tried. So I’m wondering if I’m missing out on better butter option
@@EllisD01 EMJ butter is not a butter. It's water based, more like a lotion, smells like chemicals, and leaves my beard stiff & crunchy. There are so many really good butters out there. Try Texas Beardsman or Furry Hippie Beard Company. They both have incredible butters. I'll likely come out with my own early next year.
Agreed, their butter is one of the absolute worst. And absolutely nothing wrong with the EMJ oil at all. Really solid starter option for in store oils. I didn’t bring them up on this video for two main reasons though: 1) their base price in Walmart is just over $10, which was my guideline (the others are well under $10 an ounce) 2) I wouldn’t recommend it over any of the ones on the list that are less expensive A fair honorable mention though!
@@DanCBearded I would rate them 2nd to Honest Amish, followed by Goodfellas, Bulldog, and Shea Moisture. Although, I think there balm is the best of the group. Your right, they are higher priced than the rest.
glad i read this cause i been considering using EMJ butter but i wasnt sure if i wanted to risk the amount of moneh they cost just for me to not like it. good look.🙏🏾
Bulldog has the best scent, Honest Amish Classic scent has a very strong smell of Anise that is used in Italian cookies and some say smells like black licorice and I don't think a bearded man should smell like cookies in my opinion. Haven't tried the others yet.
Was looking for a nice smelling beard oil on the cheap when you dropped "You're not buying this for the scent, it's for the health of your beard". I got a bottle of Premium Blebd by Hobest Amish already, guess i got tge best budget one.
Great video Dan!! I started out with Honest Amish and really enjoyed it. It unfortunately made my face itch. I recently switched to Shae Moisture and absolutely love the scent and the way it feels in my medium to long beard. Keep up the good work and stay bearded!!
For whatever reason, I absolutely love these kinds of videos that go over several options of a product type. Even if I don't buy any of these or use them (I do) it's so fun to have options put in front of me.
Hey there. I am 51 years old and have had a beard for over 30 years but I have always kept it very short. I am wanting to grow it long and was wondering when should I start using beard oil? It is probably about an inch long currently.
As soon as I saw the title, I correctly guessed 2 of the 4 - Honest Amish and Goodfellow. I would have added Every Man Jack, but solid list and great video. Beard oil does vary wildly in price to sure!
Hey Dan I was curious on what your thoughts on Cremo's Palo Santo beard oil is? The Shampoo and Softener look abit chemically (I think, could be wrong) but how about the beard oil itself? Here's the ingredients from their website. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Fragrance, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil Glycerides, Tocopherol.
i have two items from your list i do have the honset amish beard oil got from location walmart and their balm . i do like this beard oil thought i have other oils still like. the second oil is shea moisture beard conditioning oil side noted they do make a beard balm . one thing about conditioning oil i am little lost on it called conditioning oil would that be same as beard oil or different thanks . where i live at in our town we dont have target but we do have cvs so next time i try the bulldog brand if they have it
I have a sensitive nose so if I get a beard oil that is too potent I like to apply good amount of Honest Amish first and then use just a few drops of the potent oil. Honest Amish classic and premium have a fairly faint smell that will be overpowered by any potent beard oil you apply over it. I do try to match them up though, Honest Amish classic to me smells like Juicy fruit gum so I'll use that with a potent oil that has fruit or food type scents. The Honest Amish premium smells like pencil shavings so I'll use that one with anything that is not food scent related like wood or cologne type scents.
I used scented oils for years. Dropper bottles, shaker bottles, this that & the other thing. Now I'm strictly a Kroger brand organic coconut oil guy. I think the big jar cost me maybe $8. Not knocking anyone's product by any mean, but the Kroger organic was a true game changer for me along with a heated brush. As they say though, your mileage may very!
For sure! Coconut oil is not going to work for most people (high comedogenic rating likely to clog pores) because a blend will work better. However, most people does not mean all people. Finding what works for you is very important
@DanCBearded I hear ya. I always come back to their oil tho especially when I'm low on a product and don't have time to wait on the mail. I'll grab some while I'm waiting on somthing else. They're one of first oils I bought back in like 2018. Ima always show them love.
Dan, another great video for those of us starting out. By the way, I am nearly 5 months in to my 're-grow' and thank entirely to you and your channel...It's coming along nicely. I'm rockin' what I got!
Thank you for the video! I actually have two of these on my shelf right now. Both Honest Amish and Shea Moisture are solid options for any beardsman looking to save some money on products. I cheat a little on the beard butter and use a 4oz tin of the Honest Amish heavy balm with several other scented oils instead of having a match for each scent. These products do well in my beard.
I love Honest Amish , I’ve been using it for a few years. I don’t like black licorice either but I don’t mind the smell of this oil. Another plus is the 2oz bottle.
Honest Amish is an oil I'll always keep stocked! It was the beginning of my beard journey and it brings back the nostalgia of it besides it being a good feeling oil.
@DanCBearded yea it's a shame too. It's not horrible but I tried live bearded straight up and it felt so good. Def the best I've tried yet. Excited to try more
I saw one of your videos and thought I'd try Honest Amish. I couldn't find it at either local Walmart and ended up buying their premium oil from Amazon. It definitely has a better feel to it than what I was using. I have some Detroit Grooming butter coming today.
Hey Dan, what do you think of duke cannon’s best damn beard oil? This is what I’m currently using and I can get it at target. I also use their beard wash. Just wondering if I should try one of these other ones on your list.
Great Video. I have tried Honest Amish oil and that’s it. The others I bought from stores I wouldn’t recommend. I would also say keep in mind that these products may or may not be store specific. You stated that, just want to make sure people watching picked up that.
Great video Dan. I still use Honest Amish in my rotation at least 1x a month. I used a bottle of Goodfellowes oil. Difficult to find on the shelves in the stores around me. Quality is good with these products for the price point
I was expecting Mountanieer brand to. However I agree the Bulldog beard oil Is really a good option. The shampoo Is good to, but the balm Is crap. As Always you're the man Dan C. Greetings from Italy!
Thanks Dan! This is a great video that is very helpful. I would certainly add Every Man Jack and Brisk to the available in stores list. What would be your top 4 budget beard oil options from Amazon, not including those mentioned in this video (which are four great options)? Many thanks, The Bearded Clergyman
Every man Jack doesn’t fit in the price guidelines of this video, as their base price is not under $10 an ounce. Amazon go to would be grave before shave
I have tried bulldog,honest amish, bulldog and good fellow and for store budgets. I like the meduim thick feel. Since I have a more curly beard and so I use heavy duty beard products most of the time, but like the smell of honest amish products more.
Great video Dan, I only tried the Honest Amish, I will send this video to a friend, he makes good money but he hates spending it on beard products but he always ask if a certain company is okay.
Great video Dan. Beardbrand was the first oil I tried and I got it at Target in our area years ago. It was good, but moved on to small batch companies, and actually moved on to making my own off of your diy video. That's a good budget option for those that want to go the amazon route. Take care!
So I’ve tried “Bulldog” and I still have it. It’s a pretty good beginner oil to use. The scent profile is “pretty basic” but it gets the job done. The scent isn’t too over powering either.
Ya im growing my 1st beard and i bought arlos at tj maxx for 4 dollars lol that was absolute trash so i just bought bulldog the other day and it works miracles compared to arlos lol
Great video Dan! Personally I’ve never tried any of those, but I agree by just their ingredients they are great budget starter oils for sure. Store bought oils should have somewhat quality oils in them, not fake chemicals and water and whatnot. Wish all of them did, but I’m glad you have a video like this showing people some quality store bought oils. 👊🤘
Great information Dan 👍 I had been wondering about the Target Goodfellow beard oil. If I am ever traveling and forget my beard oil I can always stop in a Target and pick up a Goodfellow or Walmart and get an Honest Amish. Definitely good to know information.
Yup, nothing wrong with the EMJ oil at all. Really solid starter option for in store oils. I didn’t bring them up on this video for two main reasons though: 1) their base price in Walmart is just over $10, which was my guideline (the others are well under $10 an ounce) 2) I wouldn’t recommend it over any of the ones on the list that are less expensive A fair honorable mention though!
Thanks for the list Dan ! The Shea moisture is a solid beard oil. I plan on trying the Honest Amish on when it is time for me to replenish. I keep hearing that it's really good.
Are they in stores nationwide? There are tons of great options in that price range but unfortunately most are not in stores. Hence why I made this video
Dan this is great. I’ve been wondering about a couple of these. What about Everyman Jack oil? Would you call it a runner up to these or right there? Just curious why it didn’t make the top 5 or was it just too close to call or a particular reason? Thanks Dan!

@@DanCBearded perfect!! I have some of it and I don’t usually pick over my other great options, but I’ll actually say EMJ is my favorite sandalwood scent (I know it’s not your jam), I just wish I like the feel in beard as much as my better oils or I would use it a lot more
i use EMJ for my beard routine. used to use coconut oil but then statered to use EMJ and honestly havent looked back. smells super great, very masculine secent and gives the results im looking for. i feel like EMJ is SO slept on.
I never tried the other 3 but I still love Honest Amish. If it was the 2nd oil I have ever tried. And I still use it about once a month. I actually like the smell of it too. It feels and smells like I'm putting something healthy into my beard. I like their Premier oil as well but I haven't had that in several years. I think I might have to buy a bottle of the Premium..Great video Dan 👍🏻

Honest Amish!!! You can never go wrong with that.
Facts!
Honest Amish was my first oil 5 years ago. I've tried many others. H. A. Is hard to beat.
It’s tried and true!
Shea Moisture has been in my rotation for a couple of months. I also use their beard wash, detangler, and beard balm. So far so good.
Awesome Tim!
Thank you for not sharting on all the store options there are good stuff out there to get right now thank you for your education too we respect you
Oh absolutely! I always keep it real
Never tried any oils from a store. But looking forward 2 getting bahawat from Walmart
Heck yeah! I am hoping that Bahwat becomes nationwide with Walmart
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hey so I'm literally brand new to beard growth only 2 weeks in so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. I'm just discovering products have a beard wash coming in today from beard club but I have both wild willies hemp seed beard oil the dropper bottle one (1st one I bought) and good fellow from target as I love that whole line in general. I think both work very well at mildly soothing the itch and irritation, I don't feel overly greasy with either use 4-5 drops two times a day. The smell doesn't stick around more than 5 minutes and both are really mild which is fine. But that's about it for me. Will definitely be exploring other options not out of dissatisfaction but just to test the waters
Thanks for sharing and keep us posted!
I have never seen Honest Amish in any store other than Walmart, which really sucks because I won’t go into Walmart anymore. Thanks for the video.
Many local grocery stores have it. In the Midwest we have meijer and it’s stocked there
Not watched yet but if Honest Amish isn't here Ill be disappointed. Their premium oil is an amazing value if you're not worried about scents. I'll even mix in a couple drops of it when putting scented oils in because it leaves my beard feeling good.
Hopefully you watched 😂 unfortunately premium isn’t found in stores, so couldn’t qualify for this list. However, the classic sure did!
It is great for everyone to have solid options in stores! Thank you for highlighting these Dan.
Exactly! Much better they start here than the other options in stores
@Doctor Nick - yours is my first oil from a small batch beard company. Only had bulldog and KCG until now. I've used your oil and butter for a couple of days and I think I'm already feeling the difference! 👍👍
@@JonnyPsyclo That is FANTASTIC to hear!!
I pretty much exclusively use honest amish, but have wanted to branch out and try more store brands as im a more “buy it in person”, person. Only other one i have tried was cremo but my beard got dry using it despite their pleasant scent.
Cremo did the same to me
Yep I’m experiencing the same thing
Cracking video as per the norm, I’ve tried a lot of different oils but for me there is only one Hawkins and Brimble, it’s class stuff.
Thanks!
Honest Amish is still in my rotation. Use it once or twice a month
It’s still great!
I like Duke Cannon Best Damn Beard Oil - Redwood scent. Available at my local CVS
Unfortunately that was not a good oil for me and it has a couple ingredients I do not believe should be in beard oil
Duke Canonn seems to be readily available and their bourbon is one I personally have tried and recommend as a store budget.
Not a fan of their oil at all! An ingredient that I don’t recommend and it felt terrible
just tried the best damn beard oil, i hate it. makes my skin SUPER dry, and doesn't really do much on my beard
I do like the smell though
@@ilordofaviation4406 same same

Unfortunately those are much more rare. More of a “get what you pay for situation. I’ll see what I can do!
Good to know there are some readily available oils that aren't bad. I have not tried any of these but the licorice scent is actually pretty tempting with Honest Amish!
It’s so good for the industry!
@@DanCBearded It is good that it is readily available, and in the budget range. Everybody starts somewhere.
Ive used cremo for years. My go to
I’m glad it works for you!
Money is tight right now needed this video...thank you very much 👍
Oh you’re welcome!
I definitely plan on looking at all four of these and picking the one I want to try thank you for your education I do not feel like ordering online right now and I don't know how long I'm going to keep the facial hair but I want to treat it and keep it soft and healthy.

Great video! Honest Amish was my first quality beard oil. I find myself coming back to it as well as using it as a standard to compare other oils to.
It is such a great baseline!
This channel is my go-to for any and all of my beard needs! You’re the damn man, Dan! Thanks for all you do, oh Sultan of Beards!
Thank you brotha!
I've used honest Amish ,breadsmith and creamo brands there ok
Thanks for sharing!
Me too! Love the scent of Honest Amish Beard wax!
Honest omish is solid for me as a beginner. Will not have a dry beard
Agreed fully!
Great video Dan! After watching this I honestly regret not giving honest Amish a try when I was in the beginning stages of my beard journey. As always very informative.
Thanks Chris!
I still have and use honest amish oil and soap bars in my mix.
I have the honest amish soap in my shower right now! I just wish you could get that in stores
Good video I still use honest Amish to this day, have not tried the good fellow yet but I’m sure I will.
Awesome Josh!
I have used only honest amish from the store past few months I have been using BadA** beard care and I have liked what I have used
Awesome!

@@trutrek913 yup, “pure”
Another option is buying oils separately and blending them yourself. Individual oils are available everywhere.
That can for sure be a good option for some. I have a DIY video here: ua-cam.com/video/gykTbDdaRNQ/v-deo.html
Awesome Dan! Love some Honest Amish. I think they were the OG for a lot of us.
I agree and I’m happy it was a start for so many!
Was looking for a nice smelling beard oil on the cheap when you dropped "You're not buying this for the scent, it's for the health of your beard".
I got a bottle of Premium Blebd by Hobest Amish already, guess i got tge best budget one.
I'm not drunk I swear just got done at work and I'm tired
I love that blend
wish I would of know this knowledge when I started out I was using Beard guyz
Ugh, I hate that many start with them
But as of today U got a long beard its healthy and using great or products today with the kniwkedge I got from the forum and DanC videos.
Love how you get right into it🤝🤝
Thanks!

Today!! Truly time to start
Love goodfellow beard oil .
Awesome!
As soon as I saw the title, I correctly guessed 2 of the 4 - Honest Amish and Goodfellow. I would have added Every Man Jack, but solid list and great video. Beard oil does vary wildly in price to sure!
Thank you James! EMJ base price fell just outside of the $10 parameters I set, but certainly an honorable mention
Honest Amish was one of the first companies I used 3 years ago, still have it in my rotation. Love there soaps!
That is fantastic! Seriously good stuff
Wish more of these were available in the UK...
That aside I love videos like this so have my thumbs up and my gratitude.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the support!
Hey Dan I was curious on what your thoughts on Cremo's Palo Santo beard oil is? The Shampoo and Softener look abit chemically (I think, could be wrong) but how about the beard oil itself? Here's the ingredients from their website.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Fragrance, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil Glycerides, Tocopherol.
Not a fan of cremo. Just cheap low quality ingredients, is what it seems like. Most people do not have good experiences with their beard products
i have two items from your list i do have the honset amish beard oil got from location walmart and their balm . i do like this beard oil thought i have other oils still like. the second oil is shea moisture beard conditioning oil side noted they do make a beard balm . one thing about conditioning oil i am little lost on it called conditioning oil would that be same as beard oil or different thanks . where i live at in our town we dont have target but we do have cvs so next time i try the bulldog brand if they have it
All beard oil is "conditioning" so it is just a marketing term from them
@@DanCBearded thanks learning all time
I like this content. Do you have comparison of budget wash, conditioner, oil, butter/balm 4 pack combination?
No, unfortunately there aren’t great options for budget on the other products. Get what you pay for, on an extreme version
Awesome video Dan! 💯

I do try to match them up though, Honest Amish classic to me smells like Juicy fruit gum so I'll use that with a potent oil that has fruit or food type scents. The Honest Amish premium smells like pencil shavings so I'll use that one with anything that is not food scent related like wood or cologne type scents.
I get the pencil shavings too!
I used scented oils for years. Dropper bottles, shaker bottles, this that & the other thing. Now I'm strictly a Kroger brand organic coconut oil guy. I think the big jar cost me maybe $8. Not knocking anyone's product by any mean, but the Kroger organic was a true game changer for me along with a heated brush. As they say though, your mileage may very!
For sure! Coconut oil is not going to work for most people (high comedogenic rating likely to clog pores) because a blend will work better. However, most people does not mean all people. Finding what works for you is very important
Everyman jack! Is fire too
Solid option, for sure! Just wouldn’t recommend it over any of the options on this list
@DanCBearded I hear ya. I always come back to their oil tho especially when I'm low on a product and don't have time to wait on the mail. I'll grab some while I'm waiting on somthing else. They're one of first oils I bought back in like 2018. Ima always show them love.
If I had to pick one beard company to rock the rest of my beard life it would be Honest Amish. All there products are good in my opinion.
I agree in that they do not do anything poorly. All really solid options! I have their soap in my shower right now
@@DanCBearded I reached out to them awhile back and told them they should do a beard wash and conditioner. I think that would be amazing!
@@Rocknkrizz agreed!
Dan, another great video for those of us starting out. By the way, I am nearly 5 months in to my 're-grow' and thank entirely to you and your channel...It's coming along nicely. I'm rockin' what I got!
Let’s gooo!!! Keep it growing
Thank you for the video! I actually have two of these on my shelf right now. Both Honest Amish and Shea Moisture are solid options for any beardsman looking to save some money on products. I cheat a little on the beard butter and use a 4oz tin of the Honest Amish heavy balm with several other scented oils instead of having a match for each scent. These products do well in my beard.
Awesome to hear Kevin!
I love Honest Amish , I’ve been using it for a few years. I don’t like black licorice either but I don’t mind the smell of this oil. Another plus is the 2oz bottle.
Absolutely Steve!
These are a great way for new folks to dip their toes in the market! Soon enough they'll be buying shelves lol.
haha I would be so happy if they started with any of these, over the other garbage out there
What do you do for your eyebrows? I notice they are now fuller and darker.
Not much at all, just trim every couple of weeks
Honest Amish is an oil I'll always keep stocked! It was the beginning of my beard journey and it brings back the nostalgia of it besides it being a good feeling oil.
Heck yeah, great way to explain it
Great video wasn't sure about target Thx Dan
Glad to help!
How do you feel about duke cannon? I just picked up their bourbon oil and butter. Smells amazing. Will be using it tomorrow
Their oil is not good, but the other products are okay
@DanCBearded yea it's a shame too. It's not horrible but I tried live bearded straight up and it felt so good. Def the best I've tried yet. Excited to try more
I saw one of your videos and thought I'd try Honest Amish. I couldn't find it at either local Walmart and ended up buying their premium oil from Amazon. It definitely has a better feel to it than what I was using. I have some Detroit Grooming butter coming today.
Oh awesome!
Hey Dan, what do you think of duke cannon’s best damn beard oil? This is what I’m currently using and I can get it at target. I also use their beard wash. Just wondering if I should try one of these other ones on your list.
No good, unfortunately. I am not a fan of the hydrated silica they use. Leaves my beard feeling crunchy
Great Video. I have tried Honest Amish oil and that’s it. The others I bought from stores I wouldn’t recommend. I would also say keep in mind that these products may or may not be store specific. You stated that, just want to make sure people watching picked up that.
Thanks Brian!
Great video Dan. I still use Honest Amish in my rotation at least 1x a month. I used a bottle of Goodfellowes oil. Difficult to find on the shelves in the stores around me. Quality is good with these products for the price point
Absolutely! I will have to keep an eye out to see how the stock is around us. I don’t really go to stores much these days lol
I was expecting Mountanieer brand to.
However I agree the Bulldog beard oil Is really a good option. The shampoo Is good to, but the balm Is crap.
As Always you're the man Dan C. Greetings from Italy!
I do not think Mountaineer brand is in stores like they used to be. For sure not in walmart anymore and I haven't seen them in any others.
Thanks Dan! This is a great video that is very helpful. I would certainly add Every Man Jack and Brisk to the available in stores list. What would be your top 4 budget beard oil options from Amazon, not including those mentioned in this video (which are four great options)? Many thanks, The Bearded Clergyman
Every man Jack doesn’t fit in the price guidelines of this video, as their base price is not under $10 an ounce.
Amazon go to would be grave before shave
I have used all of these. Great choices, seriously affordable and won’t damage the beard
Thanks Chris!
I have tried bulldog,honest amish, bulldog and good fellow and for store budgets. I like the meduim thick feel. Since I have a more curly beard and so I use heavy duty beard products most of the time, but like the smell of honest amish products more.
Awesome feedback!
Thank you for the videos
Thank you for watching! I love being able to do this
Thanks Dan, I'm on a fixed income loved the video big help.
You’re welcome!
Great video Dan. I started with Shea, but I didn't like how it felt in my beard. Honest Amish classic works and feels better.
Awesome to hear! Cannot go wrong with HA
@@DanCBearded I FINALLY discovered what the viscosity of HA:)
Hey Dan what with the new you tube look? There is no subscribe button and so on.
On mobile, the subscribe option is under the name of the channel which is under the like button when you're in portrait mode. Not sure about desktop
@@dylanbeschoner hmmm, I have never seen that on my mobile before until this morning. Thanks for info
@@davebardsley278 you're welcome. You must have received a surprise update to your user interface
I think UA-cam is in the process of some updates and facelifts. I do not know all the details yet though
Great video Dan, I only tried the Honest Amish, I will send this video to a friend, he makes good money but he hates spending it on beard products but he always ask if a certain company is okay.
Perfect, thank you Shade!
Have you ever used wìld willies beard oil? If so is it anygood? You can get this at walmart
I have and it’s not good, unfortunately
@DanCBearded thankyou
Great video Dan. Beardbrand was the first oil I tried and I got it at Target in our area years ago. It was good, but moved on to small batch companies, and actually moved on to making my own off of your diy video. That's a good budget option for those that want to go the amazon route. Take care!
Unfortunately I think the beardbrand white line in target is going away
For some reason target don't sell it no more
@@henryrodena3207 beardbrand just rebranded and changed everything
So I’ve tried “Bulldog” and I still have it. It’s a pretty good beginner oil to use. The scent profile is “pretty basic” but it gets the job done. The scent isn’t too over powering either.
Ya im growing my 1st beard and i bought arlos at tj maxx for 4 dollars lol that was absolute trash so i just bought bulldog the other day and it works miracles compared to arlos lol
Agreed all around!
I’ve enjoyed Every Man Jack beard oil, shampoo and conditioner. Your thoughts?
Solid options! The beard wash is very stripping, so it shouldn't be used more than once a week.
Great video Dan! Personally I’ve never tried any of those, but I agree by just their ingredients they are great budget starter oils for sure.
Store bought oils should have somewhat quality oils in them, not fake chemicals and water and whatnot. Wish all of them did, but I’m glad you have a video like this showing people some quality store bought oils. 👊🤘
Thanks Phil! Lots of new beards incoming the next couple months, I hope they start here and not with the other garbage out there
They have those for just a dollar at my Walmart at the moment
$1!? wow
@@DanCBearded yeah one dollar and I figured that means they are getting rid of it
@@ferguson8143 could be the end of the expiration timeline
@@DanCBearded yeah very well could be
awesome video I have the shea got after your review, like it a lot. i will try the honest
Oh good to hear!
Great information Dan 👍 I had been wondering about the Target Goodfellow beard oil. If I am ever traveling and forget my beard oil I can always stop in a Target and pick up a Goodfellow or Walmart and get an Honest Amish. Definitely good to know information.
Thanks for watching! And all solid options. Target has a pretty good selection!
Have you tried Trader Joe's oils? I have their argan, jojoba, and lemon coconut body oil and I think they are pretty good!
I haven’t yet, but I will add it to my list!
Awesome Video Dan 👊 👍
Thanks Gabe!
Used them all and like you said, there all good oils and easily assessable in a pinch.
Agreed!
You reviewed Every Man Jack sometime ago and you said you did like their beard oil. Their beard butter though was a different story. Great video Dan!
Yup, nothing wrong with the EMJ oil at all. Really solid starter option for in store oils. I didn’t bring them up on this video for two main reasons though:
1) their base price in Walmart is just over $10, which was my guideline (the others are well under $10 an ounce)
2) I wouldn’t recommend it over any of the ones on the list that are less expensive
A fair honorable mention though!
Thanks for the list Dan ! The Shea moisture is a solid beard oil. I plan on trying the Honest Amish on when it is time for me to replenish. I keep hearing that it's really good.
Thanks man!
You should try bearded squirrel co there like 10 bucks a oil
Are they in stores nationwide? There are tons of great options in that price range but unfortunately most are not in stores. Hence why I made this video
There not in stores only online. it's a new company starting out but I would like to see what you think
What's the easiest way to reach out 2 you for questions
Email: dan_command@yahoo.com or dancbearded on instagram
Dan this is great. I’ve been wondering about a couple of these. What about Everyman Jack oil? Would you call it a runner up to these or right there? Just curious why it didn’t make the top 5 or was it just too close to call or a particular reason? Thanks Dan!

@@DanCBearded perfect!! I have some of it and I don’t usually pick over my other great options, but I’ll actually say EMJ is my favorite sandalwood scent (I know it’s not your jam), I just wish I like the feel in beard as much as my better oils or I would use it a lot more
i use EMJ for my beard routine. used to use coconut oil but then statered to use EMJ and honestly havent looked back. smells super great, very masculine secent and gives the results im looking for. i feel like EMJ is SO slept on.
I never tried the other 3 but I still love Honest Amish. If it was the 2nd oil I have ever tried. And I still use it about once a month. I actually like the smell of it too. It feels and smells like I'm putting something healthy into my beard. I like their Premier oil as well but I haven't had that in several years. I think I might have to buy a bottle of the Premium..Great video Dan 👍🏻
Premium is my favorite from them! Love their soap too
@@DanCBearded cool, maybe I'll give the soap a try one day.
I’ve tried the Shea moisture before. Wasn’t a fan of the scent but feel in beard was solid. Great video Dan!
Agreed, many others love the scent more than I do
