Billy Jealousy Beard Envy Facial Hair Refining Kit with Beard Wash Facial Hair Control and Boar Bristle Brush for Clean, Hydrated, Soft, Tamed Unruly Mane

I received this item this past Saturday, 9/26/2015. I tried it for the first time on Sunday, 9/27, and OMG!!!!! It is FANTASTIC!!!! You only need to use a very small amount of the beard wash (maybe about a pea-sized portion) in the palm of your hand to lather up a bit before washing your beard. It smells great, it cleans the beard without drying it out, and it feels really good against the skin as it cleans the face underneath the beard. And the beard conditioner is great, too! Just a little bit rubbed into your palms before applying it to your beard is all you need. It moisturizes the beard and the face, and it smells nice and clean -- no overpowering (or even a hint of) artificial scent. It leaves my beard soft, smooth, and manageable. Best of all, it leaves my face and beard feeling clean without using the harsher soap that regular shampoos sometimes contain. I will be using this stuff for as long as a I have a beard, and considering how good I look with it (okay, so maybe I'm a little vain), I don't plan on shaving it off any time soon. The boar's hair brush is a little hard at first, but boar bristles are tough and just need a little time to soften with regular use.

I am new to the beard world. I tried this stuff on a whim after reading the reviews and comparing it to other products. I liked the idea of a leave in conditioner and Billy Jealousy delivered. Though kind of on the pricier side, the items I received came in a timely manner. the lids are flimsy on the small bottles but the brush was of a good well made brush. the bottles may have flimsy caps but the product itself was wonderful. Nice vanilla scent, not overbearing and lasted well throughout the day. SA far as actually making my beard softer...I can't really say as I wear my beard well groomed to about 1/2-3/4" andi have coarse whiskers in general. I have noticed my face doesn't itch nearly as much and when I lay down to bed, no annoying jabs. Also no oily residue left on my pillowcase.

Let's start off with the shampoo. The shampoo deserves 5 stars without a doubt. Very little product is needed because it suds up very quickly without very much water. It is a good size bottle, and leaves that unmistakable clean brisk shampoo rinse feeling. The conditioner is even better, and deserves 5 stars as well. Although you need to use more product compared to the shampoo it leaves the beard feeling very soft and reduces frizz and tangles. It was not strong enough to style me beard but worked great in many other areas. The brush is why I am giving this product 4 stars. One side is VERY rough, so rough that is hurts my face when I use it, and use it on my head more than my beard. The other side is ok, it is very soft but the overall quality is just so sub-par. Overall, I recommend the product to anyone, especially if you are new to the beard scene, this kit will get your started on the right foot for a great price that cannot be beat. It will let you know what to look for and not to look for in other facial hair products.

Purchased this on a whim for my husband who has a very thick, long, and relatively straight beard. From a wife's point of view, I love it. The brush is great (kind of reminds me of a horse brush) but it works so well! Wind and the sea can leave his beard looking a little out of control, the combination of the shampoo and the beard control make it easy to tame. The best part? After using it for a while, his beard is softer- which is a bonus for me. Since buying this set, I've bought the full size products for him as well. The set is an easy and affordable way to see if it works for you (or who you're buying it for). My husband is super sensitive with smells and he hasn't complained about a strong residual scent, nor have I noticed one. He's also very simple in the sense that he doesn't typically use product other than shampoo and body wash. This doesn't extend his routine. The beard control and brush in the morning probably takes 2 min. I'd recommend the brush, he uses it every day.

The wash is great. 4 stars there. It definitely meets expectations. Suds up without needing extra water. The conditioner really sets the bar. 5 stars hands down. My beard honestly hasn't ever felt so soft. I've used various shampoos, conditioners, etc etc. I've even loaded it up with moisturizing hand lotion while I'm at work. I want to buy a tub of this stuff. The brush... 1 star, maybe 2. One side's bristles feel like they could be a little firmer. The other side's is definitely too harsh to run against skin. My real problem was the brush handle itself splitting in half within a week of using it. I have big hands, and an iron grip from powerlifting. Even so... I used it 4 times, and now have 2 half-brushes. I'd buy the bottles again in a heartbeat. The brush is garbage, though.

I think it's a little overpriced but it delivers everything it promises. The best product I have ever tried.

Purchased as a stocking stuffer for our son, who loved this gift and was brushing his beard all thru Christmas morning. Beards are in right now but the bushiness was starting to drive me a bit crazy, which is why I purchased this item in the first place. Our son says the beard wash has a nice scent and the beard control helps him keep it,...well, under better control. The boar's head bristle brush is a bit stiff, but with a coarse, thick beard, I think you need something with a little more stiffness. Our son did not complain at all about the quality or material of the brush and commented that "real men can handle it". LoL. So far the brush has held up to everyday use and has not fallen apart, according to our son, though he did add that he doesn't keep it on the sink top where it could get wet, which may be the reason why it fell apart for other reviewers? Makes sense. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase and would definitely buy Billy Jealousy products again!

I have a pretty coarse beard but when I use the face wash and the gel it not only softens it but also keeps it looking uniform and clean, not all scraggly. The brush is not at all good for my beard, the bristles seem to flimsy to really do anything. Overall, great product, and more affordable than other beard taming kits that don't work as well.

El jabón de lavado deja un tacto suave y sedoso en la barba. Mu gusta el aroma que deja en el pelo de la barba.

tout nouveau barbu, bon set de départ Sent très bon, dure assez longtemps Rend effectivement la barbe beaucoup plus douce ( et j'avais des doutes) J'aurai aimé trouver du coup le flacon "beard control"... Apparement il y a juste le set avec la brosse, dommage

Nice little combo kit. Works well, smells great. Nice price. Will order again soon

Really pleasant scent and does the job perfectly

The beard wash works ok but I get the impression it's just normal soft type shampoo which is fine, just a bit pricey given the size . Main issue is with the beard control, the fragrance is quite strong and very old lady (can't think of a better description), similar to the wash get the feeling that they have just rebottled some random leave in conditioner. As a product marketed as "Rugged" and having a "woody scent", it really is more "Flowery" and "old lady musk".
