I usually try not to leave reviews because most beard care companies put out absolute junk. But if I don't leave a review now, guys with beards won't hear about this fantastic bar of soap... It is the best soap I have ever used on myself and my beard. I’ve tried countless beard and face products in my life—believe me, I know what I’m talking about. This soap made my beard softer than it has ever been, without even needing conditioner. It’s an amazing product of amazing quality. But most importantly, it doesn't irritate the skin under my beard. This is one of the best—if not *the* best—company on the market.
Smells are nice, but the soap is garbage when it comes to lathering up. Looks like a muted grey liquid is on your body after using a liberal amount of it. If you use a brush or a luffa forget about it. To get what might be mistaken as suds you will have to scrub the bar on them for quite some time. From my experience showering twice a day one of these bars, on average (bought a 10 pack), lasted 3.5 days is all.
Highly effective on the beard and body. Unlike other men's soaps the fragrances are balanced and strong (but not too strong). Many times the fragrance of soaps seem to disappear after a few uses (looking at you Bigfoot themed soap company) but not so with the Kuhn's bar soap. Highly recommended.
Simply the best soap I’ve ever used. I have dry skin, very sensitive to all soaps. Usually the natural organic soaps are better for me but still cause a bit of redness and rash etc. Kuhn soap has rid me of any rashes and redness and I’m not sure why, nor do I care but I have used the soap for about 3 weeks plus and I’ve had the best skin I’ve had since I was a kid.
I've used the soap for a few months now and I really like it. It smells 100x better than what I was using. 1 bar lasted me for nearly 3 months. Definitely will order more in the future.
Kuhn offers one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had. They went above and beyond to help me out and they have a fantastic product. I ended up really liking their other soap scents.
ordered the Redwood scent and i’m OBSESSED with the smell. it lingers in my bathroom after a shower and makes me feel like i’m walking into a cool mossy forest each morning. i do wish the soap lathered more, but worth the loss of some suds for this scent. def going to order more

Crud. I sorry you're not happy with it. I'll reach out and see about making it right. I appreciate the honest feedback.
Best beard products!
I meet Chris at the ogden farmers market. Purchased beard wash, wax, and oils. By far the best products on the market! The fragrances last all day and smell amazing, not to mention how soft it makes the facial hair after applying. I'm a huge fan of every product kühn has to offer!
Great product from a hidden gem of a company!
I am working on the Cedar & Amber soap right now. This is my second bar of soap that I have used (not the same scent profile). I believe that the soap (which is charcoal activated) lathers well and does an excellent job of cleaning as well as helps to moisturize the skin. And the best part is that s does't leave you with that oily skin feeling. Like their beard products Kuhn pays attention to detail & quality!
Warm a small amount between your palms until it melts, then work it through — damp or dry, doesn't matter much. Focus on the flyaways, balm works better for that.
Can I use shampoo or hair conditioner on my beard?
Yes, you can — though it's better to use our co-wash. It's sulfate-free and keeps your hair and beard feeling moisturized instead of dried out, which is what regular shampoo sulfates will do to it.
Are beard oils safe?
Yes — ours is non-comedogenic, five real cold-pressed oils, no phthalates or filler. If you've got a known nut or seed oil allergy, check the ingredients first like you would with anything else you put on your skin.
What beard products do I actually need?
Co-wash in the shower, then oil, butter, or balm after you towel off. That combo alone will make your beard really soft — add balm on top of the oil or butter if you also want hold.
Does beard balm/butter/oil help my beard grow?
No — nothing you put on your face makes hair grow faster, that's genetics. What balm does is stop breakage and calm the itch that makes guys pick and over-trim, so you keep more of what you're already growing.
How much beard balm should I use?
Usually more than you think — I see a lot of guys use too little. Just keep applying until it feels like enough for the length of your beard. Longer beard, more balm. Thicker beard, more balm.
What is beard balm used for?
Balm's heavier and thicker than oil or butter, so it holds. That's what keeps your flyaways down and helps your beard keep its shape through the day, on top of conditioning it.
Is beard balm the same as beard butter?
Nope. My balm's about 30% beeswax, my butter's only around 5% — so butter still has a touch of hold, just way less than balm. Both condition your beard, balm just adds a lot more hold on top of that.
Should I use beard butter at night?
Sure. Good option if you want deep conditioning working overnight without any hold or shine the next morning.
How often should I use beard butter/balm/oil?`
Daily. Damp beard, right after your shower.
Do you use beard butter or oil first?
You can use both, if you want — I'd do oil first, it's easier to apply butter on top after. But you don't have to use both. Either one alone works fine, oil for a normal day, butter if your beard's especially dry.
Can I use beard oil, balm, and butter together?
Yes, and a lot of guys do. Oil or butter for daily conditioning, balm on top if you want hold. Just don't use oil and butter in the same routine — pick one based on how dry your beard's running that day.
I use beard oil/balm/butter but my beard is still really dry and unruly, why?
A well moisturized beard starts in the shower and what you wash it with. If you wash your beard with shampoo or regular bar soap, your beard is being stripped and will be very dry. You need to use a conditioner or co-wash.
I'm new to beard products, what's the difference between oil/balm/butter?
They are all designed to moisturize your skin and beard, they just do it in a slightly different manner. Keep it simple. Short beards, beard oil. A bit longer, beard butter. Longer and/or thicker unruly beards, beard balm. Start with an oil and butter if you're new, then go from there.
What's the shelf life of oil/balm/butter?
12 months if stored in a cool, dry place.
How much do I use of oil/balm/butter?
Depends on the length of your beard, but most don't use enough. You need enough to cover all of the hair follicles. It's difficult to apply too much, and very easy to use too little.
How long does the scent last?
You should expect 6-8 hour from our scents.
Will it stain my clothes?
No, it shouldn't. Most beard products leave a greasy film on the outside of your beard which can rub off onto your clothes. Our products are designed to absorb fully so there shouldn't be any transfer onto your shirt or other clothing.
What if I order a scent I don't like?
TOO BAD! I already got your money. JK. If you order any product from kühn and you're not happy with the scent, we will replace it with the scent of you choice. We'll never make someone keep a scent they won't wear.
