- In this video I review three beard oils currently available on the Irish market.
It's L'Oréal BarberClub vs Bulldog vs Cien Men's Care Club!
I've chosen one cheap oil, one medium priced oil and one more expensive oil to see how they stack up against one another.
You get to see my honest reaction to each one as it's the first time trying all three. I rate them on packaging, scent and feel and reveal my favourite at the end.
Have you tried any of these oils? Be sure to let me know your thoughts in the comment section below!

Thanks for watching and see you in the next video!
Really well done! Bulldog is one of the best options in my experience for budget price ranges. We have it readily available in the US
Cheers Dan! They've certainly done a good job of distribution and the ingredients were decent. Thanks for watching and keep going with your very educational videos...love hearing your thoughts and seeing the different products available in the US 👌🏾
I think the biggest and most attractive reason I like to use yours is because I can see you making it yourself and what’s in it with your Instagram. There’s just something so satisfying about having an organic and “clean” product for your beard. Thanks mate.
Cheers Elliot! It's great to be able to show the behind the scenes on Instagram. Appreciate the support and looking forward to seeing you soon!
I keep a bottle of bulldog in the back of cupboard as an last resort if I run out of oil, or am waiting on my order.
Its definitely worth spending a bit more on oil though, can tell the quality difference straight away
That's a good strategy as it is a decent oil. If they just tweaked the scent a bit I would enjoy it a lot more. Thickness and colour are key for me with beard oil
I suffer with psoriasis on my face, one of the reasons I grew the beard out was to hide it but I've used many oils over the years and honestly your brand sandalwood and juniper Berry is the best personally for me and works great. Its after treating my psoriasis a lot too which is brilliant for me. I used the L'Oréal one and it burnt the face off me for days... Great video but they're nothing compared to your brand
Thanks Darren and that's great feedback about the Sandalwood and Juniper Berry beard oil. I'm delighted it has helped you so much! Wasn't a fan of the L'Oréal oil...not good enough at all for the price paid
Competition is good for the consumer so this is a nice idea Colin, I'm sure your customers will appreciate the insights into beard oil alternatives - Was surprised to hear you mention alcohol and perfume in the Cien oil, that would tear the face of me now for sure. I suppose it just goes to show, price isn't always an indication of quality (no dig at yourself by the way as I like your products a lot) and it pays to look at ingredients before you buy something (I guess this applies to everything you consume or put on your body, something I must start paying more attention toward).
👍
100% agree! Bulldog was a better oil that L'Oréal in my opinion and there was a €3.50 price difference. The key like you said is to look at the ingredients. Too many well known brands just mass manufacturing a poor quality oil and marketing it like crazy then
Your videos are really helpful for all us novices 👍
Thank you...I appreciate you watching! 🙏👊
@@westcorkbeardcompany just watched your video on using balm with oil. This has stopped the itch. 👍
@@lexingtonlad5745 So good to hear! 👏👏
Good video. Interesting to hear about the oils being watery and not absorbing, that's definitely not been the case with the brands I've used. I did see a lad in a beard group saying he'd run out of his favourite product and bought that L'Oréal one - he got plenty of slagging then 😂
Thank you! I'll be using none of them ever again 😄
Great video Colin, I've used the Bulldog oil before and found it pretty good. It's the one I'd recommend if you want to keep the cost under €10, but definitely worth the extra few euro to buy yours!
Thanks Chris! I agree...it's a decent medium priced oil but they need to work on the scent in my opinion 🙌🏾
@@westcorkbeardcompany Agreed! I saw one review describe it as the scent of warm horse 🤣
That's probably unfair, but I'd describe it as a citrusy soap smell - it's ok, but not great!
I wouldn't go as far as a warm horse 😂 but not a fan of citrus scents in general
Late on this but great review. I've got a very long a rugged beard and had no issues the last seven years but the last 6 months I've been suffering from dry flakey itchy skin under my beard. Tried a lot of beard oils from low budget to high and found bulldog works the best for me. Still get a bit of flakey skin from time to time hence me looking for something else but bulldog definitely a good product for great price.
Cheers James! Thanks for the comment which will help others on their bearded journey 💯👍
To be fair. Loreal states 2 to 3 drops depending on the length of your beard. You used approx 6 drops so it would be greasey. I go by the bottle instructions and it's not greasy in my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback Keith! Aside from the greasiness, it has terrible ingredients, so I would keep away from the stuff. Just not good for any beard
I used to use bulldog in the beginning but quickly got a better quality. Great video. Great advice 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks a million Trevor! Always appreciate your comments and thanks for watching 👏🏾
Thanks bro, very informative
You're very welcome!
Hey Colin. I buy beard oil from your company because of the natural ingredients. I find that most of the ones in the supermarkets have chemicals in them that are not good for your skin. Mass production doesn’t suit beard oil IMO. It’s something you need to spend the money on for your own benefit. Your cinnamon and black pepper is my favourite. Must try the beard soap the next time!
Thank you! 🙏🏾 I agree that beard oil does not do well made in massive batches unless the ingredients are top notch. Hopefully more people will start looking at ingredients rather than being dazzled by good marketing and nice packaging
Great video.
Are you planning on doing other review videos for other products like balms, butters, soaps etc?
Cheers Alan! This video got some great feedback so I definitely will once I get a bit more time. Most of my time right now is taken up making and shipping products but will up my long form UA-cam game again very soon!
@@westcorkbeardcompany hopefully the business is going well! Looking forward to new videos.
Putting through another order later this week hopefully.
Thank god Bulldog done well because its my first ever beard oil because Its my first beard lol..
Phew! Hope the beard is going well! 👊😁
@@westcorkbeardcompany Yea I just grabbed it from the shop in a hurry!!I'm 3 months in and enjoying the process..Btw I got your Beard Brush and Cinnamon beard butter during the week..love them👍
@@patrickr6505 Thanks a million! 🙏🙌
Very public spirited once again, thanks. I'll own up to being a Bulldog user, mainly because it's easily available and that rare thing: a product which is actually substantially cheaper here in England (my last bottle was £3.50 or thereabouts). Somewhere along the line I've got it lodged in my head that the scent is supposed to be oakmoss. It does seem to do the trick, as does the notorious "balm", but an upgrade is definitely on the cards now that the beard is at the garden gnome stage. :-)
Delighted the beard is growing! At that price Bulldog is a no brainer as it's decent but like I said in the video not a huge fan of the scent 🙌🏾
I have always wanted to buy your products, but I live all the way in the United States and am nervous about the products will be affected by the different movements/temperatures it will go through because it’s quite a distance. Any advice on that? Aside from that, I’m a big fan of your videos!
Thank you! I ship to the states quite a bit and never had an order reported damaged thankfully. If the products freeze then the quality isn't lost. If you live in a place that regularly gets temperatures over 30 degrees C then the beard balm and butter may melt so I wouldn't choose those 👍🏾
4:28! FU too! Lol :-)
Watery, sticky and greasy! 😂
Could you do a "Goodfellow Beard Oil vs. Cantu Beard Oil vs. SheaMoisture Beard Conditioning Oil" review video?
I'll probably do another review video down the line but focus is now back on the "How to Grow a Beard" series I'm doing. Enjoyed making this though so I'll make sure I'll do one again 🙌🏾
Bulldog: 24 drops total. LÓréal: 12 pumps. Lol :-) They are probably to watery but you use waaay to much Colin. Great video though! :)
I'm still too used to having a massive beard so I lash on the oil 😂
@@westcorkbeardcompany 😂👍🏼! Do you know when you will post your 3 weeks update video? Tomorrow or maybe Tuesday? :)
@@mikew4022 Hey Michael, Week three is up already but I will be filming Weeks 4 and 5 together this week. That video will be out on Friday 👍🏾
@@westcorkbeardcompany So the beard oil video was also the update 👍🏼
@@mikew4022 No, week 3 is a separate video you'll see under the beard oil video on the channel. This is end of week 4 for me I'll be filming Weeks 4 and 5 as one video which will be out next Friday
I’ve seen below that you don’t think King C beard oil, wash and balm would be good. However, what do you think about Percy nobleman?
I’m in need of a starter balm, oil and wash.
Also what’s your thought of using face washes on beards. Beards that are roughly the same length as yours in this video?
Thanks
In my opinion all those mass produced products are not good for your skin or beard...just compare ingredients. I've never tried Percy Nobleman so I can't comment on that. A face wash would be too harsh for a beard just like a regular shampoo. A beard product should be made especially for beards using ingredients that actually improve the health of your beard
Bulldog I find is the only one that doesn’t leave a residue in my beard and it’s easily got in Ireland 🇮🇪
It was definitely the best of the three Jason 👍
@@westcorkbeardcompany I agree, I love your one the Siberian fir and cedar wood oil smells amazing
Cheers Jason! 😁💯
Try beard oil from King C Gillette and The Beard Struggle
Not sure I'd be a fan of either Dan! But I'll keep those brands in mind for the next one 👍🏾
@@westcorkbeardcompany try them brutha. You might like them or not and tell us your honest opinions on them brands. King C Gillette is absolutely amazing. The King C Gillette beard products I have is beard oil, beard balm and beard wash. Amazing stuff
Have you tried Hawks and Brimble?
Not yet John!
What would be the best for new beard?
Hey Tristan! I'd recommend a bottle of unscented beard oil and a beard brush for a new beard especially if you're new to using beard oil. You can get both on westcorkbeardcompany.ie
What beard oil has the best scent in ur opinion?
Personally I love minty scents but everyone's preference is different
are you supposed to use that much? i only use 2'ish drops of the one from bulldog
I'm so used to having a massive beard that I overdid it slightly! 😄
@@westcorkbeardcompany I do have a massive beard, how much should I use?
@@burnzy3210 For a big beard I would definitely use as much as you see in the video...I put a little puddle in the palm of my hand
@@westcorkbeardcompany cheers, I'll give it a go
