As an example, Our tattoo healing balm is similar to our beard balm but we took out the lanolin (which is bad for tattoos) and replaced with Vitamin E (which is great for tattoos). To your point, many of these products out there are very similar to each other. But try selling beard balm to most women and they’ll just walk by. Those who pay attention have no problem buying though. Nice video.
Scuba, I want to say that I appreciate your videos, and information you provide in them. You always provide great content and you do it in way that that is super chill. Lately I’ve noticed that some of the other beard channels have become very egocentric. They provide great information, but they do it in a way that can be very off putting. Thanks for being down to earth, and keeping it all perspective.
Great info bro. Definitely tons of similarities. Boils down to branding and marketing. So definitely a good find. Quite similar to my beard journey in the beginning, all I used was hair products and carrier oils in general. Coconut oil, olive oil etc. so it’s not surprising to me that body butter have some of the same ingredients as beard butter. 🍻💯👊🏽
man this is funny I have been coming across so many products that aren't labeled for beard care lately in my research that look like they would be great for it and just asked DanC about some oils my self. great video Scuba!
What the fricken heck is going on you beard freak! I just wanted to say I love this channel , you inspired me to start growing a beard for the first time. I love the reviews and products , I have two favorites the grave before shave cigar and vanilla balm and the Detroit corktown butter and the scotch Porter conditioner also bought some brio beardscapes. I've been growing a beard since Thanksgiving and already just from these products , I have people saying "dang nice beard" keep up the AMAZING videos and I binge watch you all day with earbuds at work. Great Work! And I dare my job to tell me to shave lmao!
Have just subscribed! Thank you for the content you share. I'm from Russia and quality American beard products are 70 times as expensive due to the currency rate. You inspired me! So i just went to the super maket, bought black seed oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, avocado oil, almond oil, coconut oil and made an effective blend which i enjoy. Moreover, it WORKS!
Right on, brother. I've been making my own oil, balm ,and butter, because I'm not a fan of paying a markup when it's not neccessary, but in a way feel as if I'm not contributing to the "beard community " by doing so. Unless of course the community also supports buying raw butters and oils from solid vendors to make your own (and they should) If the ingredients are the same, why not....buy beard butter, body butter, or make your own.
Templar William what community? Don’t get me wrong we all have fun talking and learning from one another etc etc. But the companies are business men like everyone else. If anything wouldn’t they be taking advantage of the beard community with 90% mark up?!?!? That’s outrageous.
When comparing these weights, I believe the whipped versions are by volume, not weight. I am a pharmacist that compounds prescriptions, i.e., creams, ointments, etc. It is misleading I know, but as the old adage says (and not trying to be a smart-*ss) “read the fine print”. GREAT video though! I love all your videos. You have tons of great info..and you’re funnier than hell! Thanks 😎
I had a hunch that there were products in the female line of products that was very close if not the same. thanks for the info. I'm guessing just due to the sents and not knowing where to look in the female isles lol most guys won't go to the cheaper products. great info thanks!
I noticed this a while back, and yes I'll totally agree. The hardest part is finding a body butter w/ healthy beard ingredients and a desirable smell. I tend to look for something unscented. Another helpful tip is to look for vegan butters. These tend to have the ingredients more easily spelled out.
the "Soap Exchange" you have linked as Sandalwood Vanilla scent has several manly scents like Barbershop , lumberjack, Bay Rum etc along with unscented and several more neutral scents. They also have shave oil, beard oil, and shave soap listed on their amazon page. Looks good i'm going to buy some and try it out.
Awesome video. Was looking last night for cheaper alternative for a beard co wash. Be nice to find an all natural one cheaper than 23.00 for 8oz, ouch!!!!
Lotions are considered fluids. Check the label again and make sure it says fl oz. If it is, then because you showed the name, you've opened yourself up for ... consequences If not, then the company is making an illegal statement
I was going to say, volume vs weight isn't always the same. Especially if it is whipped butter, it will have more air incorporated into it making 8oz as light as 4oz.
LOVE this video. Competition in the marketplace is HEALTHY for all parties. Not hating on beard companies but it’s about time this bubble burst a bit as I have thought their prices are a bit crazy for the actual products they are selling.
I’m glad beard companies are hustling and grinding but their margins are insane. One of the most well known and largest companies admitted to margins of over 90% on their products. Think about that folks...you don’t need to be a math genius or a business MBA to figure that out. If people are willing to spend those dollars then great for the companies, but well educated customers is where it’s at. Hold the market and vendors accountable...no reason to be paying as much of your hard earned money as you are.
MiLK SOP does that make him a moron??? Or he simply didn’t know that fact. I don’t know everything in the world, and neither do you. I’ll never understand the need that some have to talk smack to another brother.
Scmkuba I got a 12 oz for 9 dollars and u are right it has what my beard butter didn't have like pumpkin seed and black seed oil so I been using it for 3 weeks . It works for me!👍
Wow you just put the beard companies on high alert 😂 and I bet you see some big sales prices after this and damn I been waiting for the new Razor phone to come out and I’m gonna run stand in line at AT&T right now 😂 😂 😂 😂,awesome video brotha
Great video. Volume vs weight is what your finding there. Also add in a whipped butter essentially aerated would contain less product then a pour butter in both weight and volume. Your dead on those same same for ingredients, I think the edge goes to beard butter because of scent variations for men. For your penny pincher, excellent idea on amazon.
Thanks for the video. The butters are measured in volume, not weight. But, if a large one weighs less or about the same as a small one, it has more air whipped into it. So, you’re paying for air.
Nice to know , but i think at the end of the day it comes down to smell and the beard butters have a much better variety of manly scents. Keep those videos coming .
Figured this out over a year ago before the beard butter craze hit. Health food store has a butter that is all purpose with NO beeswax and a soft “neutral cacoa” scent. I spread it all over. Body head and hair, legs and feet, balls and butt. Literally slather it on every part of my body after shower daily. And of course my beard cause it’s butter!! 13 bucks for 2.3 ounces and i can go to the store and get it any day without ordering it. If I want to get a scent I take the butter and mix my beard oil with it and it works just fine. If I had not found this and figured it out based on Ingredients i for sure would have already spent 300 bucks on “beard” butter trying to find the perfect one for me. I haven’t even had the need to go to a woman’s Beauty store to try and find others.
Volume dictates price as well. Some companies making thousands of one product can afford to offer a lower price. Those making much much less can not. It’s fairly simple
Hi really enjoy these videos ! Any chance of these us companies you review getting UK stockists? Really love try some of the products but with the shipping , beard butter is over 50 dollars ! There is a pretty large market over here . The only one we can really get hold of is badass ! Cheers
Thats why a company like Shea Moisture is able to sell the beard products cheaper than most, because all the lines for natural hair, they have a huge following and the benefits of a big company and therefore materials are bound to be cheaper, the beard companies that are big, leave the prices higher since the market decides on it, I've been on this for a while, thanks for sharing.
I use neutral or unscented beard butter for my tattoos now. I couldn’t stand how Hustle Butter made me smell like a tropical smoothie all day so I don’t mind paying extra for the beard butter instead. I just prefer adding something to my cart while I’m already buying beard products and especially like when the ingredient list is only 5-7 ingredients long.
The only thing I'd be concerned about is the amount of essential/fragrance on body butter. It may be more than beard butter and could be a concern for some. If the amount is the same as beard butter then I don't see a problem with using body butter.
@BeardTube Broccoli oil, Jojoba oil, Almond Oil, Coconut oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Shea butter (Nilotica), Argan oil, Avocado oil. Baoba oil, Castor oil and last put some Arrowrot powder and whip it all together so it becomes like a cream put in the fridge and you have the best beard butter ever! and all being cold pressed + organic!
I'm watching on a small black and white monitor hooked up to a huge super computer that uses vacuum tubes. Did you try the women's body butter in your beard
I have a feeling that the reason why the measurements were off has something to do with the liquid being wet or aerated because of the tiny air pockets. Same reason why a balloon seems lighter when it is inflated
Well that's where u messed up. Bought the Ulta brand on the drug store side aka mass. Go to the Prestige side n buy it. Btw- thanks for the extra knowledge
Its not just for beards either; Im a waver also and I realized about 2 years ago that products "for wavers" are roughly more expensive versions of products for women with natural hair
So you were on Amazon just randomly looking up women’s beauty products. Something smells fishy as unicorn period blood 🤣. Does that sweet razor phone pair with your Apple Watch. Cool video thou as always hilarious stuff
Are beard butters greasy? I use beard guys beard balm because it doesn't have greasy feeling . Somehow the thought of a butter on my face seems to bring out thoughts of massive breakouts and super greasy feeling . Lol. Thoughts?
Hey do you think some of those butters are meaning 8oz by volume not weight? I just cant see how they can sell something that says 11oz but it's only 7oz with the container!
You can get a BIG bottle of shampoo for a few bucks to maybe $10 for 90% of them. You could also pay $15 for a tiny bottle of “beard” shampoo. It’s crazy men that are driving up the prices. Don’t buy these high priced products and we could all enjoy better priced products.
Loved the video!! This will definitely help people save alot of money. How about beard oil ? Are there any cheaper alternatives that are still all natural products? Like you've just shown.
