We’ve been getting a lot of questions about our signature No. 8 Beard Oil, so we thought we’d write a blog post about it to give you all as much information as possible.
Here’s what’s in this blog post, in case you’d like to skip to a section:

Living a No Shave Life is more than just growing a trendy beard because it's fashionable; it’s all about representing your individuality and going against the grain, being you in a world of “professionalism” = “clean shaven.” We like to argue that professionalism, success or respectability has NOTHING to do with how much facial hair a guy has or does not have (this is the idea behind our Bearded and Employed T-shirt!).
That being said, growing a beard has its difficulties, from the itchy phase, to beardruff, patchy growth, dry skin, stagnant growth, or dry brittle hair. That’s why we created our No. 8 Beard Oil with all natural carrier and essential oils from Mountain Rose Herbs with properties that address all of these issues with a badass smell to boot.
Well, we think we’ve made something badass enough to claim it does both. No. 8 Beard oil is curated to not only make your beard soft, strong and keep those beardruff flakes off of your shirt, but it also smells like pure manliness. We like to describe it as “Piney. Woodsy. Manly. Awesome.”
To get a little nerdy, I want to describe how meticulously we paid attention to not only the properties of the oils in No. 8, but also how carefully we layered the notes of the scent.
When you first put on No. 8, you’ll first notice the strong, fresh scents of pine, rosemary and juniper berry with a slight undertone of black pepper.
As the day goes on, those scents fade a bit exposing the deeper, woodsy notes of sandalwood, and cedarwood.
All of the essential oils we’ve layered create a complex, but not too overpowering scent that lasts and lasts. But don’t take our word for it, here’s a few reviews from our awesome customers:
“Just thank you for having such a awesome product... The beard oil smells like I'm running thru the woods with my shirt off and a axe on my back while my bear cub follows me…”“My fiancé loves all of your products. You guys have the best smelling beard oil. I love it when he uses it.”“I like the oil from No Shave Life because it smells good and you get a good amount of oil for the money. I also like the pump dispenser instead of the dropper. I highly recommend this product.”“Love the smell and how the oil makes my beard feel! Not too thick and greasy feeling like a balm or other oil brands made it feel"

Ok, ok. I know... we’ve gone into all this detail about why we think No. 8 rocks, but you want some of the more day to day details, like how the hell to use it.
Here are our recommendations:
You've probably already noticed, but currently we only have one beard oil and we think it needs some friends, so we're working on some new products to offer.
Here's what's coming this Spring:
