Detroit Grooming Co. Beard Butter for Men | Softens, Thickens & Hydrates with Safflower Oil & Shea Butter | Traverse City Scent, 2oz

After trying every balm under the sun for past 20 years I think I have finally found the winner. This has good hold, nice scent and keeps your beard soft. Although it’s a little pricy compared to other options, it’s worth it to me.

I have been using Detroit Grooming beard butter since they were a startup company 10 or 11 years ago, and they even sold straight razors. I have veered off the path to try other products and always run right back. It is absolutely perfect in weight, texture, oil, and how it sits on your beard without leaving any greasiness or residue. A little goes a long way. My favorites are Corktown and Traverse City. You get two really unique scents so when you need a change, it's perfect.

The Belle Isle beard butter arrived today. The product had leaked and was all over the exterior. The seal inside the cover seemed intact so I'm not sure how this happened. The weather here was in the high 40s so it wasn't extremely hot. After opening the product, whatever scent was present was difficult to detect. That is to say, it didn't smell anything like expected. I had read other reviews that said the scent lasted all day. Hard to imagine when it doesn't even smell in the container. I'll update once I try it for a bit. This product is expensive enough per ounce, so the mere fact that a fair amount of the product had leaked out is disappointing. Once again, I'll have to update this review in terms of the actual product once I have the chance to use it.Addendum: I wrote directly to the manufacturer via email and they replied that same evening. They apologized for the experience and offered to replace it without any hesitation. It took 11 days to arrive and was intact thus time. The scent is still very subtle, which is somewhat disappointing. What I can smell is pleasant. The product itself, in terms of how it makes my medium length beard feel, is very good. It melt to a very smooth consistency and is very easy to apply. It makes my beard feel very soft for the couple if weeks I've been using it for now. I think the company did a great job with their customer service, and the weak scent not withstanding, this product delivers on its promise to be a good moisturizer for mens beards. Updating to 4 stars (minus 1 for the scent).

This butter is amazing. The tobacco is a little strong for me, but that’s just preference. The 313 and belle isle are much better scent wise.

Great

Did not notice a thicker hair after application. Seems way too oily and makes the beard look like it’s just been showered in water or sweat.I suspect that the oils do hydrate the beard, so functionally it probably delivers on some promises made.Compared to other products I used this is a bust though.

works perfectly and smells great!

The best!
