For my part, I wear a beard almost permanently, regularly cut the hoof but over three days (the equivalent dune ten day summary). The discomfort associated with the growth of the beard so mest now unknown.
For the rest, I find the expensive but effective product. The care actually moisturizes face and has an effect "sweetness" ruled on the beard like this is naturally the case for a longer or beard.
A properly hydrated skin is softer and more particularly flexible, which should reduce irritation related to shaving or itching associated with the shoot. But I think this is the least effective point of care because it depends on many factors and the regularity of application of the treatment.
In short, if you or Mrs. you complaining of thick side of the beard, go for it! But if this is the itch that you want to go, there are no miracle product. Wait a few days and keep a beard spoke to the hoof at the level where it itches more you;)
