good product after you learn how to get the oil out of the tube [SEP] at first i had trouble getting anything at all out of the tube there was a problem with my cap that prevented anything from coming out but after taking the cap off the product flowed out by reading other reviews i learned that the tube must be submerged in hot water for some time to liquify the mixture of oil otherwise you get a pebbly mixture and unless you live in a subtropical climate one of the oils in the mixture comes out in a semi solid state and must be rolled between your palms to liquify it as well once that is done your hands will be pretty thoroughly coated on both sides and between the fingers then you must work it into your beard it did a pretty good job of softening my scruffy beard but now its time to clean the oils off my hands using the sink full of hot water i soaked the tube in an oily film can be seen in the water but my hands still feel oily no worries the remaining oil get absorbed into my hands the instructions say to use a manly amount but that begs the question how much is a manly amount it really does not require as much as i initially thought i guess the fragrance could be described as manly
