Extra Grit Beard Wax - Natural and Organic - Hair Paste and Hair Control Wax - 2 ounce

I first ordered this product nearly two years ago in 2019. I really enjoyed it as it had good hold and wasn’t greasy. However I didn’t order it again, because it had a strong liquorice smell and the grit easily got under my short nails. I’ve now ordered it again in 2021 and the product has gone from good to great!!! There is no longer a liquorice smell and the wax has more a neutral tea/peppermint smell. It still has very good hold for shaping a beard (though it’s more a balm with wax and hold, as opposed to having the strength of a pure wax), and thankfully Honest Amish has solved the grit under the nails issue! I have Afro hair and would 100% recommend this product. It is dark in texture so may work better with darker coloured hair, however it does dissolve well into the beard. I liked it back then, but I’m a true fan now. Safe to say I’ll be sticking with this product for the foreseeable future.

Excelente opción para mantener la barba en su lugar. Tengo que usar saco y corbata entre semana y esta resultó ser la mejor opción para mantener una barba profesional. Como dice la caja, con muy poco logras grandes resultados. La consistencia es rara cuando lo emulsiones, se siente como arenosa, pero creo que eso es lo que hace la magia y la barba no queda tiesa en lo absoluto. El olor es imperceptible así que combina bien con otros aceites o loción. Y si todo esto no fuera suficiente, decía que me llegaría en una semana y me llegó al día siguiente! Gracias Barbería Capital.

Top as usual, it’s my preferred product.

Pure and original.

I'd like to comment on my first impressions with the extra grit before I compare the two. First off, concerning what others have said: -It doesn't leave your beard feeling like there's sand in it. The grit is very fine and I only notice it when rubbing it in my hands. Don't worry about the grit! -it is very dark, so if you have a white beard I wouldn't recommend it. -The smell is strong in the can, but will die down after a little while. I don't think that it smells much like liquorice from the anise, more spicy like clove. As to the smell I like it a lot. The original does have a stronger anise ( liquorice smell) and I like the scent of that one too. -It's very easy to rub into your hands and the beard. I would say softer then the original wax. -now as to hold! Honest Amish says this is on par with the original wax, but I have found it to be slightly lighter than the original. As far as hold goes in the lineup I'd say (lightest to heaviest ) HD beard balm(light), extra grit wax(light/medium ), original wax(medium ). -also, as advertised, it works very well as a hair balm. I have short hair about an inch or so on top and tight on the sides. -Has a matte finish to it, and the original wax has more of a shine. So all in all I like this wax for what it is. Great smell. Doesn't make my beard feel sandy like I thought it would. Light/mid hold(works best with a freshly shampoo'd beard, I know some only shampoo a few time per week). Works in my hair. If I would to choose one over the other I'd think I'd go with the Original wax over the extra grit(but that could change), as I like the stronger hold and I don't mind the shine. I've never tried the original in my hair, just beard. As with all honest amish products its all made from quality ingredients and they're a great company. Hope this was helpful. And beard on! *update* After using the extra grit for a few more days some other things I've noticed. -after applying to a clean beard out of the shower, it seems to almost dry and is not waxy like the original. - it give my beard a lot of body, more than the original I'd say. The more I use this wax the more I like it! I think that maybe I now like this more than the original. Definitely try it out and don't judge too quickly.
