The Beginning of My Beard Journey

Six months ago, I made a decision that completely changed the way I approach beard care—I started using Badass Beard Care products.

What began as curiosity quickly became part of my daily routine, and today I honestly can't imagine my grooming routine without them.

This isn't a paid review or a first-impressions post. It's my honest, unfiltered experience after six months of consistently using their products.

Why I Chose Badass Beard Care

Before Badass Beard Care, I'd tried several different beard products, but none of them checked all the boxes. Some scents were overpowering, some beard oils left my beard feeling greasy, and the balms never seemed to provide the hold I was looking for.

After reading recommendations from other beard enthusiasts on Reddit and doing my own research, I decided to give Badass Beard Care a fair opportunity. Instead of judging it after a few days, I committed to using the products consistently for six months.

One of the biggest things I look for in any grooming product is natural ingredients. Over the years, I've made a conscious effort to switch to more natural products throughout my daily routine—from deodorant and shampoo to conditioner and now beard care. Knowing I'm using high-quality, naturally sourced ingredients gives me confidence in the products I use every day, and that's one of the biggest reasons Badass Beard Care stood out to me.

Month 1–2: Building the Routine

The first thing I noticed was how different my beard felt.

Within the first week, it was noticeably softer, and by the second week the beard itch I had dealt with for years had practically disappeared. The beard oil absorbed well, leaving my beard conditioned without feeling oily or heavy.

Even during those first couple of months, I could already tell my beard looked healthier and was much easier to manage.

Month 3–4: Seeing the Difference

By the third month, the improvements became much more noticeable.

My beard looked fuller, healthier, and much more even than before. It had a healthy shine without looking greasy, and the beard balm helped keep everything looking clean throughout the day.

People who hadn't seen me in a while started commenting on my beard and asking what I had changed. Even my wife noticed the difference and told me how much healthier and fuller it looked—which, admittedly, is one of the best compliments you can get.

Month 5–6: A Daily Essential

Six months later, my beard is the healthiest it's ever been.

Using Badass Beard Care has become a non-negotiable part of my morning routine. My beard feels softer, looks fuller, and is much easier to manage than it ever was before.

Because I've had such a positive experience, I've recommended Badass Beard Care to friends, family, and anyone who asks about my beard—which honestly happens more often than I expected.

The Products I Use

Like most people trying a new brand for the first time, I didn't dive in headfirst. I actually started with one of Badass Beard Care's sampler kits that I purchased through Amazon. It gave me the opportunity to try several different scents before deciding which ones fit me best, and honestly, I haven't looked back since.

After finding the scents I loved, I upgraded to the Complete Beard Care Kit and made it part of my everyday routine. My daily beard care consists of:

• Beard Oil
• Beard Balm
• Beard Butter
• Hog Wash
• Beard Conditioner
• Deordorant
• Utility Cologne

I also use one of Badass Beard Care's beard brushes, which has become another staple in my grooming routine.

One of my favorite things about Badass Beard Care is the variety of scents they offer. Everyone has different preferences, and the sampler kit made it easy to find the ones that matched my style.

Some of my personal favorites are The Patriot, The Viking, The Pharaoh, and the Special Reserve collection. Each one has its own unique character, so I can switch things up depending on the day while still getting the same quality performance from the products.

Starting with the sampler kit turned out to be the perfect introduction to the brand. It gave me the confidence to invest in the full lineup, and six months later, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made for my beard care routine.

Why I Want to Become a Badass Beard Care Ambassador

When I first discovered Badass Beard Care, it wasn't just the products that impressed me—it was the story behind the brand.

I've made it a priority to use more natural products in my everyday life, and finding a company committed to high-quality, naturally sourced ingredients immediately caught my attention. But after learning about the company's history, I realized there was something even more important: the mission.

Badass Beard Care wasn't created simply to sell beard products. It was built from personal experience, determination, and a desire to create something better. Founder Charlie Moyer turned his frustration with low-quality beard products into a veteran-founded company focused on helping men look good, feel confident, and use products they can trust.

That commitment to quality, authenticity, and community is something I genuinely respect.

Those same values are what I've worked to build with my own brand, Encinas Unfiltered.

Whether it's through my podcast, social media, or apparel, my goal has always been to encourage people to be authentic, work hard, and stay true to who they are. I don't create content because it's trending—I create content because I believe in building a community centered around honesty, self-improvement, sports, and culture.

That's why becoming a Badass Beard Care ambassador feels like such a natural fit.

I only recommend products that I genuinely use and believe in. If I'm telling my audience something is worth their money, it's because I've personally experienced the quality and trust the company behind it. My audience knows that authenticity matters to me, and I want every recommendation I make to reflect that.

I also admire that Badass Beard Care has built more than a customer base—they've built a brotherhood. That's exactly what I'm striving to create with Encinas Unfiltered. While our brands serve different markets, our missions share the same foundation: building trust, creating a genuine community, and inspiring people to become the best version of themselves.

To me, becoming a Badass Beard Care ambassador isn't simply about promoting beard products. It's about representing a company whose values genuinely align with my own and introducing my community to products I personally use, trust, and believe in.

Because at the end of the day, authenticity builds trust, trust builds community, and community is what creates brands that stand the test of time.

Final Thoughts

If you're thinking about trying Badass Beard Care, my advice is simple: commit to the process.

Don't judge the products after a few days. Give yourself a few months and stay consistent. That's exactly what I did, and six months later I can confidently say it was one of the best grooming decisions I've made.

For me, the results speak for themselves.

Whether I'm recording an episode of Encinas Unfiltered, designing apparel, or simply going about my day, I want to represent products that reflect the same values I believe in: quality, authenticity, and consistency. That's exactly what I've found in Badass Beard Care, and it's why I'd be proud to represent the brand as an ambassador.
