A perfect holiday gift idea for your bearded friends and family members. The kit comes in a portable TSA approved high quality bag. 

Customer review: I have been using this kit for a little over a week now, and I’ve seen a change in my beard – thicker, even darker! The beard wash is part of my daily routine now – smells great, and gives my beard texture. Then it’s right to the beard balm, which has a natural, rich consistency and finishes my beard out for the day with a nice sheen. These are clearly people who know beards (I assume they have beards themselves!) and know what we really need………Alt Fan

  It comes with an ac adapter, and elastic straps, can be used in your car, at your work desk or comfort of your chair at home. 

Customer review:This product is amazing. You can use it basically anywhere, from your neck to your feet. It is compact so easy to pack in a travel bag if need be. Applies just the right amount of pressure not to soft, but not to hard either. Only problem would be that it does need to be plugged in. So one will have to be near an outlet. Perfect inexpensive gift. HM09Mom

It gets 4 stars though because it mentions being able to hold gift cards but the box and the opening is entirely too small to fit a gift card which ruined our original plan for a visa gift card. ambsraine
