Preston Shea Butter Infused Beard Balm Leather

Beard balm is where oil leaves off. Shea butter conditions the hair and the skin beneath it while giving a longer beard enough weight to sit properly instead of going its own way by lunchtime. As with everything Preston makes, the tin is built to be seen, which is half the reason it stays in use rather than migrating to the back of a cupboard.

Balm differs from oil in that it holds. Shea butter gives it enough body to tame the strays along the jawline and keep a longer beard pointing the way it was combed, without the stiffness of a wax.

Warm a small amount between your palms until it melts, then work it through from the roots outward. Two ounces at that rate lasts a full season.
