Blackbeard for Men - Instant Brush-On Beard & Mustache Color - 1-pack (Dark Brown)

Ahoy, mateys. I always wanted to sport a beard, but did not like the "salt & pepper" way it looked. I knew about dye formulas like Just For Men or A Touch of Grey, but complaints about chemical burns and toxic ingredients kept me away. Blackbeard is a more temporary application than those, which is fine. You brush it on each day and wash it out each day. It doesn't take long to apply. However you do have to be careful - as one of the other reviewers said, wipe the excess off the brush as best as you can before applying to your face. Otherwise too much on the brush will leave dark streaks in your beard or on your face. If you do get streaks or blotches, just quickly wipe the spot with a tissue. I did dock the product one star because: A) I do find the product a bit pricey for the amount you are getting, and B) As some other reviewers have mentioned, it does tend to dry your beard a bit which can lead to some itchiness. However, overall it does it's job and I see myself buying it again when I run out.10/22/2017: UPDATE: I'm still buying the product, but bought the last batch from Captain Jim himself. It's the same price for the most part but he had a special sale. Also want to mention that the company is very responsive if you have questions, and they stand by their product. It's nice to deal with a company like this.

Works pretty well. I switched to this because Just for Men gave me such a bad chemical burn that wouldn't heal for weeks that I had to go to the doctor. As others have said, it leaves your beard with a rough texture. However, contrary to some reviews, it DOES NOT rub off on clothing or towels provided that you give it enough time to dry. One bottle has lasted me several months when used sporadically (4-6 times a month).

It is a good alternative to the chemicals and like other reviewers have stated it does fade after about 6 hours and you need to reapply. I ordered the new black/brown color. The issue with this is that it dries very DULL. In bathroom lighting it looks fine but outdoors it doesn't have the sheen like natural hair so it is noticeable. I apply a coconut oil to my beard first to keep the shine. Hopefully this can be improved by adding something to maintain a sheen.

Works great. Matches my color very well. Stays on all day even after washing my face. I try not to use soap, but water alone won't wash it off unless I scrub it. Doesn't smear to pillow like others claim and not to clothes either. It will dry and hardened so it feels a bit unnatural, but who's really touching your face? Don't like that it's very little and the brush wears out. I do like that you can cover even the smallest hair stubs for short beards like mine. That's the reason I am buying again. Great product a bit too expensive for how little you get. Might try using a mascara on the women's section that's cheaper.

My normally black beard went almost completely white within a year or two and my wife said to dye it. I used Just For Men beard color for at least a couple of years with no problem and was quite happy with it. That is, until one day I stated having severe allergic reactions to it. I tried this product, Blackbeard For Men, as an alternative. It is easy to apply, which is good because it really doesn't last much more than a day. If I go to a restaurant and wipe my mouth with a napkin, it leaves a black streak where it contacted my beard and rubbed off. My pillow cases also sometimes have black streaks on them. This is very much a topical treatment; hence, it can readily be rubbed off. But, it doesn't wash out in the rain, which is good. It looks somewhat less natural than the dyed beard colors (e.g., JFM), but applying some sort of baby oil or beard oil helps with that. The oil also helps with a little itchiness I get with this color treatment. This product is rather pricey, maybe too much. That said, right now this product is the only game in town for me, but I really wish someone would develop a dye that does not cause the chemical reactions like Just For Men does. That would be the winning ticket.

Stays in even after a few days, just requiring a comb or brush through and a small touch up the next morning. Doesn’t come off as easy as some eye Mascara that I used for the past few years. The product kind of Hardin’s a little keeping your bread the way you comb it. Just remember to try to keep your head level and try not to grind your chin or beard in to you shirt it could leave a mark.And also after a few days you can wash it out and start fresh if it starts to get to much build up for you.My beard type is African American brown black

At first I was putting to much and it looked fake, It is somewhat like mascara, Then after the second application , decided to just brushed lightly the tip of the hair and not go down to the skin, found this to look more realistic and I'll get more use out of it. To relieve that caked on felling I applied some of my hair product to my goatee, it not only felt better but also gave it a shiny appearance. It would be helpful if you use a comb after you apply hair product, possible use baby oil or another gel to give it a nice shine in the end! Will order again.

This goes on very easily, matches the color of my beard well, and doesn't smear or rub off on clothing. I shampoo my beard every day, and It washes out fairly well. It has never smeared my towels. The product is supposed to be for people with short beards, but my beard is kind of long. It still works great, but a bottle doesn't last long for me. It seems like I need to go through about one bottle per week, which could get expensive. However, that's motivation for using it kind of sparingly, which makes my beard look more natural anyway. I'm very pleased with this product.
