    My beard got too long for me. I could not eat or drink without getting a mouth full of hair. Had the barber trim it up today. First trip out since being sick

    That's about how I'm looking too. Need something to style this unruly bastard before I meet with consultants on Friday.

    A poem by Grizz.

    Made a half pint,
    put it in two jars.
    Waiting for it to cool,
    smells good.

    Well seasoned already guessed one of the two items correctly-- beard balm. I will be making the other in a few minutes. It contains resin...

    Nope. Good guess, but my firestarters are old candle wax, sawdust, and egg carton holders.

    Yes there is, and we have a winner! I'm on my way to the post office to send the guy who guess beard balm a sample. Heidi, do you want some moustache wax when I get it done ;)

    I noticed your wife has some curl to her hair. Have you made any hair conditioner for her? I was hoping maybe you concocted a leave in balm?

    Beard balm and mustache wax? I have a beard and a mustache all in one. Looks like I need to educate myself. I'm assuming these products will tame the beast?

    Nope, she is on her own for her hair care products. She seems to know what she wants better than I do!

    If nothing else it should help. From what I can tell, the main purpose of beard balm is to soften a beard and make it easier to tame. So the effect will increase the more you use it.

    I didn't have anything to put the must ache wax in, so I improvised.

    Testing the stuff out. Think I need more resin in the moustache wax.
