I already had high expectations when I ordered this kit. Deadmans has smashed thru them and was more impressed than I had expected.
First this is the most complete kit without brushes I've ever seen with the inclusion of the stripping wash.
I ordered in Slate scent, which I have always enjoyed "slate" , but Deadmans Slate is a different breed. That cool metallic flair (in a good way) with a musk undertone packs the right punch.
The day I received my order was my day to use a stripping wash, and it's actually is scented. Lathers great and it seems to have handled the stripping task at hand.
The conditioner is smooth and my beard almost seems to eat and absorb the softness before I rinse.
The oil keeps my skin smooth, moisturized and refreshed while soaking into the beard nicely.
The butter doesn't have the gritty chunks and is so buttery before dissolving in your palms. Does an excellent job of soaking into your beard, weighing it down and keeping it soft and fresh all day.
The balms hold is probably the best I've encountered up to this point. There is no waxy smell in the balm, just the great slate scent. It's definitely the firmest balm I've scraped under my thumb, but it melts like magic. Once applied it seems to have an actual medium hold. I don't have to straighten my beard back out with my hands as often as I usually would. Huge fan of this balm.
They even include a cologne with this package to give you the extra highlight for the day or a date you might have coming up.
As the title says, Deadman's has gone above and beyond my already high expectations. My beard looks noticeably better in one day of usage. This kit has everything, aside from brushes, that you need for daily care. The scent is just everything I'd imagined, but better! Anyone thinking about pulling the trigger and getting this kit, DO IT NOW!! Recommend thru the roof!!!!
