With the collapse of security in the empire, Athens and the Agora suffered from periodic invasions and destructions: the Herulians in the 3rd century, the Visigoths in the 4th, the Vandals in the 5th, and the Slavs in the 6th. Following the Slavic invasion the area of the Agora was largely abandoned and neglected for close to 300 years.
We donât believe a beard balm should be too stiff and waxy. It should support and accentuate the natural shape of your beard â not overwhelm your beard and stiffly shape it with wax. A good beard balm should moisturize and strengthen both your beard and the skin beneath, working to restore dry or itchy skin. The best beard balms do their work quietly, in the background, with a soothing, natural aroma and just enough hold to tame flyaway hairs while supporting the natural shape of your beard.
Remember to read the ingredients of the beard balm before buying it. As a general rule, it is very easy to use a beard balm. Most instructions will guide you to simply; take a sizable amount of beard balm, rub it between your fingers and apply it on your beard; starting from the neck and working up. Reverse the direction of your motion and run your fingers from top to bottom.
