Even though freak shows are becoming trendy again, no, I am not a bearded lady. I bought this for my husband who is transferring from summer face to winter face. His ginger beard isn't long, but it's long enough to need a little conditioning. The consistency is not greasy and the smell is very light, barely noticeable. I personally have noticed a softer texture, and my husband has had no issues with dry skin or beardruff. Would recommend.
