I have used a smallwr batch of this product before and each time I use it I can feel my beard appreciates it after. My beard feels softer and easier to brush(manage). I was also surprised by the small amount needed for both the shampoo and conditioner. I dime sized amount is all that is needed. The shampoo and conditionee both cover a large surface, not much is needed, which means this will last me and make me feel like I got my monies worth! I would recommend to anyone with a beard
