Beastly Gents: Crafting a Signature Barbershop Experience Through Beard Care

We launched with four classic scents that smell great but won't overpower you. Something so close to your smeller needs to be subtle enough not to make you sick of it but bold enough that she notices!

My journey with Beastly Gents started with wanting to grow my beard “out.” I always had a clip-cut beard - high n tight along the jawline. Growing a beard is the easy part. Maintaining and grooming are a bit more involved. The first thought I had was to treat my new length beard like the hair on my head. Wash, dry, and comb, right? Absolutely not!

After trying everything I could get my hands on in the market, I realized that the only I was going to find what I wanted was to make it! With the help of my bearded clients and countless hours of experimenting, my wife and I honed our skills and created the best beard products on the market. Beastly Gents Beard Balms and Waxes was born!

My barber career began in 2015, and I searched for the perfect beard product, having a beard myself. Almost every product I sampled was either too greasy or smelled terrible. Since you wear the product on your face, these two elements are essential!

We launched with four classic scents that smell great but won't overpower you. Something so close to your smeller needs to be subtle enough not to make you sick of it but bold enough that she notices!

After nailing Balms and Waxes, it was time to focus on the entire regiment of beard care. We decided we need a wash to accompany our other products so you can clean your beard, and it will stay lush and not dried out. Ordinary shampoos dry out your skin and beard, causing dandruff and itching.

In practice, Beastly Gents emphasizes a holistic approach: wash, condition, and style to maintain beard health without overloading the skin with grease or harsh chemicals. My journey with Beastly Gents started with wanting to grow my beard “out.” I always had a clip-cut beard - high n tight along the jawline. Growing a beard is the easy part. Maintaining and grooming are a bit more involved.

The story of Beastly Gents also includes expert guidance: Karlo is the teacher/master of all beards: Cuts, Shapes, and Maintenance. Karlo is the one who will cut/shape your beard. You are the one that needs to maintain it.

Beard balm became a turning point after conversations with Karlo about itching issues, dry skin flakes (Beard Dandruff), brittle, and flyouts. I picked out a balm called Old School (scent of a classic barbershop) and started to use it. I figured I would try other manufacturers as well, for comparison purposes to see if there are any differences. I have to say. There are differences in each mfg’s products. Too oily/greasy feeling, too heavy, and initial overpowering scents. I even tried the DIY route and made my own batch, and I will NEVER do that again!

I went back to the original Beastly Gents Old School Beard Balm, and all the others went out the door. Each Beastly Gents Beard Balm has a pleasant subtle, even scent when first applied that does not overwhelm you. Beastly Gents Beard Balm application is easy to perform and relieves the itching/flaking, brittleness, and most flyouts (I still have one or two stubborn ones).

I have used all the Beastly Gents Beard Balm scents, except for No. Zero, but that is on my next purchase. Besides solving my beard and dry skin issues, Beastly Gents Beard Balm is not overly oily or heavy and penetrates quickly on my skin to absorb the oils it needs. I noticed my beard split ends had gone away. My beard is no longer brittle but soft and smooth, has become very manageable using a brush or comb to keep the shape.

I use and believe in the Beastly Gents Beard Balm product that I give to my family members who have beards as well. I will continue using Beastly Gents beard products to maintain my beard and to Enhance My Handsome!

Beastly Gents aims to deliver a timeless, masculine grooming experience. Be it a classic scent like Old School or modern discoveries, the goal is simplicity and effectiveness, letting the natural attributes of the beard shine through. The product line now includes washes to keep beards clean, lush, and free from dryness, complementing the balms and waxes for daily maintenance.

Reviews and experiences from clients and barbers alike underline Karlo’s skill and the brand’s commitment to quality. Clients note timely service, thoughtful grooming, and the confidence boost that comes with a well-kept beard and haircut. The shop balances traditional barbering with modern care products, creating a cohesive routine for men who value grooming as part of their personal identity.

Thomas T. adds a nostalgic note, describing a balm that takes you back to a time when men were really men. The scent of brown sugar and cedar is reputed to calm the mind during challenging times, while ensuring the beard remains lush and strong. This blend of heritage and practicality frames Beastly Gents as more than a product line; it’s a lifestyle choice for the beard-minded individual.
