Why do people HATE the Beard Struggle + Unboxing 

I have a couple of products. Viking storm night elixir & gentleman's scruff balm. The missus got me them for my birthday & neither of us were that impressed. The products aren't terrible but for a company with such a big following you'd expect better. She bought them coz it was marketed in a way that suggested its helps beards grow thicker & my beard is fairly patchy on my cheeks so she thought it might help. Obviously it doesn't. The night elixir has a light peppermint scent & the scruff balm has a smell that's a bit like lotion or something. Some of the adverts they used to make suggested if you don't have a beard you're not a real man kind of theme, which I didn't really like. As for affiliates/ambassadors they have 1000s! Someone told me they receive incentives like points to get free stuff in the future. In my opinion the amount of ambassadors kind of takes away from the exclusiveness of it. But theres so many other great companies here in UK (not even including myself), if they're claiming its the best products they've ever tried, they're lying or haven't tried many others.

I find that every beard company claims their products will help grow a thicker fuller beard not just beard struggle. TBS seems to promot and market more than other brands when I'm surfing the web. I love tbs products the oil is just like any other beard oil I use it gets the job done I find the scents they make to be better than other brands I've used in the past.

The video you're referring to at 1.50 ish you're confusing Jake The Viking who is an ambassador for TBS , with actual TBS. I use TBS myself and I've tried a fair few, this works well for me, which is the reason. 8 drops is all that's required.

The prices are a bit high but i luckily caught a sale and the products are pretty good. They smell good once you get them on your beard and skin. They moisturize without leaving my beard greasy. If they drop they’re prices they’d be a much better choice in my opinion

I'm not affiliated with 'The Beard Struggle' however I have to say that where any product, service or physical / company investment is provided then it is not a pyramid scheme. That term is so loosely thrown around and I feel it isn't truly understood. If a product or service is sold and a commission is made then that is like any other retail / business. Where people ask for money and receive no product, service or asset return then that is a pyramid scheme.

The Beard Struggles CEO name is Faisal and I'm one of his brand Vikings. And also he also starting in the kitchen to. And I have contact with him. And plus most of our money to charity.

I’ve never tried tbs but have seen the ads a tonne, think I’ll give them a miss, as someone else mentioned, already loads of great companies to choose from here

This one piqued my interest because I have been curious on TBS for quite some time now and have yet to try them. After this video I think it’s a no from me dawg. I mean if I got a super good deal or got it for free then maybe perhaps. But I’m with you Chief, that I’d rather support the mom and pop beard companies. Keep up the great work, and onto the next one!

I have just started using their products after trying loads of others out and I’m honestly impressed, I’d definitely order again in future, I found their prices really good to considering there are 20% discount codes all over the place. I’m not an ambassador for them or any of that, just sharing my thoughts, I’ll hopefully get round to trying Wild Hare’s oils one day

Great Video mate I have been using Arthur J Hawke recently but before that I was using cheap oil that was really greasy and felt horrible on my beard( I have a short beard at the moment and am growing it out which probably doesn’t help) I’ve seen Beard struggle pop up on Facebook so much recently so I’m glad that you did this video cause I was thinking of picking some of it up some time so I’ll probs give it a miss now and either stick with the Hawke or try a few different British brands So cheers for the video!!!

Based on the marketing and affiliate style of the brand I’ll give them a pass I think Too many good European producers of fine beard products

I got one of their kits for Christmas and they're pretty good (bit thin- as you said). Would definitely be interested in finding more about recommended beard oil sellers in the UK though. I have their newest iteration of their heated brush and I'm fairly impressed with it. By the way your video has no right ear audio.

#saplife! Great video, Ollie. I’ve heard too many bad things about the company and some of their products and that’s enough to put me off even trying them.

From what I’m aware of the name “The Beard Struggle” came out as some guys struggle to grow a thick full beard sometimes it’s patchy in places or thicker. The Beard Struggle made claims as first that using their oils/products helped to grow a thicker/fuller beard I don’t think they say this anymore as people are now aware it’s not the case.

I use these , i'm not an ambassador of any kind. I find some scents are great, some aren't. That's personal taste on scents. I've tried a couple of brands but i do like the beard struggle oils as with others. I figure a fair assessment shouldn't be made on an old bottle though, you could get a sample pack and smell all of them over time and see that a new bottle and new samples may give you a better impression. Again, its personal preference on what you want from an oil, you will always find pros and cons in all markets.

Nice shirt and channel too!

The oil is meant to have : A woodsy intricate blend of sandalwood, vanilla and bergamot to give you a sensual, soft, harmonious, and exotically rich scent.

I have about a 2-3" growth and i find the viscosity to work well for what i have

I got the 9 sample seal they had and every pack has been opened and put in the bin .they smell awful. I'd go as far as saying cheap products from discount shops in the UK have better smells ..that being said the oil is not great quality.

There freaking awesome man you gotta give another scent a try like valhallas gates or odin's virtue and they really don't have a smell if there cold when they come in you have to give them a bit but my beard is completely free of flakes and it's always really soft especially when you use there beard conditioner it's the best I've tried I think they might be better then beardbrand which I used for years

My boyfriend uses their products, expecially the oils you talk about; I think they have a wonderful fragrance because his beard smells and shines. Also they help to keep the shape... if you don't belive me just check their testimonials and their beard, like Thor of The Beard Struggle

Hi I am trying to find a good quality oil and butter, I am diabetic and have a chronic heart condition which means I take loads of pills and am having trouble with a dry beard . I got some oil from the USA which appears OK but at £50 a bottle including shipping and customs I thought that a bit expensive, so looking in the UK. Any help would be gratefully received 😉

I was the one debating the cult follower on your insta ... I’ll keep my feelings there lol

My opinion on this company greatly changed as I tried more small batch companies. Their products are overpriced for the quality and I feel they intentionally mismarket their products (like will grow new hair). I saw the video Daki did and thought it was disgusting and unprofessional. I havent spent another dime on these guys. They are good compared to Cremo, but garbage compared to small batch. 0/10 do not recommend. They have great advertising though.

Looking for a really good beard kit (shampoo, oil, balm, brush) any recommendations as new to growing a beard

I use beard struggle and I think it's okay, smells great but way too expensive. I don't have many others that I have used so I can't say it's bad at this time.

From what I see now they have gone away with claims their oil helps to grow a thicker/fuller beard if it’s patchy and gone more towards the whole Viking thing with videos etc.

Claimed I was bashing someone for NOT having a beard on their Facebook LIVE then blocked me after they found out that I’m both gay and disabled. Funny as you would think if it was that much of a matter I would be blocked there and then not two days after the LIVE when they find out.

Another great video buddy but trying I would stick to supporting smaller companies

Eh. When i first seen them on fb they was saying if you buy the oils it’ll help your beard grow. And it’s kinda misleading

They blocked me on both Facebook and Instagram after I went on a LIVE they did and dared to asks why one of the guys doing the LIVE doesn’t have a beard they claim it goes against their rules to asks such questions

Never tried it. But beard brother from sweden is My products. Really amazing an A 1 man business

I have heard more bad then good with Beard Struggle. I personally won’t be buying from them. The small batch companies have way better quality, better customer service and experience. I know some personally and I continue purchasing from them.

Unless it’s me the bottles look half empty

Damn its thin! Not an oil thats for sure

Almost like urine 😂🤣
