The soaps from Kuhn are absolutely wonderful. I picked up a variety to complement my favorite oils, balms, and butters, and they are incredibly effective while smelling fantastic. Honestly, I’m usually not much of a high-end soap person--it typically doesn’t matter to me what I use, so long as it gets the job done. But Kuhn is so good that I’m hooked and will definitely be going back for more.
I’ve tried most of the products from Kuhn Beard, and I can confidently say they are top shelf. The quality across the board is excellent, and you can tell a lot of care goes into each product.
My personal favorite scents are Cherry Pipe and Mahogany—they both smell incredible without being overpowering. That said, every product I’ve used has performed really well and delivers exactly what you want for beard care.
One standout for me is their deodorant. If you’ve ever had issues with traditional deodorants causing irritation or rashes, this is a game changer. It’s made without harsh chemicals, and I’ve had zero problems using it.
On top of that, Chris Kuhn, the owner, is a genuinely great guy who truly believes in what he’s creating—and it shows in the quality of his products.
I highly recommend Kuhn Beard to any man with a beard, whether it’s long or short, thick or thin.
Thank you,

The soap smells great, and it gets me clean. My only issue is that some of the bars have a film on one side of them that leaves a coating on the skin. Nothing harmful - just takes a bit to rinse off.
Chris was super easy to work with on getting an exchange for scents that didn't quite fit our liking. No questions asked and shipped quickly. I love the soap and how well it cleans and makes my skin feel.
Fantastic soap. Doesn’t dry skin or beard out and it’s made with natural ingredients. All the scents are awesome and stay with you for several hours after your shower. Great find!
Very hydrating. Takes some effort to work up a good lather, but that slight annoyance is worth the quality and nourishment my skin gets using this soap. Perfect for the dry, windy, cold midwest winter. No dry, flaky, itchy skin that comes with cheap, run of the mill, mass manufactured soap. All natural, awesome for skin ingredients.
There’s only a few brands I proselytize for, and this is one of them! Tried tons of beard washes, balms, and oils over the last 15 years and there’s no match!
Purchased the 5 pack of soap. I bought apples and bourbon, winter is coming, sweet musk, tobacco and bourbon, and redwood. All smell great! My favorite remains apple and bourbon, but I’m pleased with all the scents. As far as soap, I’ve been impressed with it. I wash my beard with it a couple times a week and follow it up with the Kuhn co-wash. Beard is healthy, soft, not dried out, and smells great. I’m a big fan of Kuhn products and will continue to use them.
This is the best bar soap I've ever used, full stop. I have sensitive skin, and most stuff will leave me dry and itchy at best, and mess up my skin at worst. This soap doesn't do that.
I'm a stinky boy. The charcoal helps tackle the smell, leaving only the wonderful scent behind. I don't even pick my scents anymore, I let them choose. The only ones I ask to omit are the 2 currant scents. To me, they're a little overwhelming, but I can see it definitely being someone's thing!
It lathers well, lasts a good amount of time, smells good, and is affordable. I'll not buy anther brand of soap again.
Most designer soaps just melt in your soap dish and are frankly, sad. Not Kuhn soaps! I love this stuff! They stay rock solid and always smell amazing! Nothing beats Kuhn, nothing.
These soaps make your man smell so good! You and he will love it! I've been ordering mu hubby since finding kuhn at a vendor fair 1.5 years ago. You will wonder how you lived so long without it! If he has a beard, get the oils too!
Found this guy at the Ogden farmers market years ago, he introduced me to his balms for my beard, I won't use anything else ever again, I love everything I've used from Kuhn! Costumer for life!
My husband received a 5 pack gift from our son and he enjoyed them so much we just had to buy some more. Love all the scents, soap is gentle and non-drying
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.
