Last week a massive box of the new products from the Schwarzkopf Got2b Phenomenal range was delivered – everything from a beard trimmer, hair paste, wax and sprays. As part of the package was Schwarzkopf Got2b Phenomenal Beard Oiland for the last seven days I’ve been slapping it onto my ever growing beard, stepping back and then making the other half feel the results.
Given my experience with this beard oil I thought it deserved a post all to itself, so check back over the coming weeks if you want to read more reviews of the range.
What does the marketing blurb say about the beard oil under review?
‘Discover the real gentleman in you. The lightweight conditioning oil softens and tames your beard, leaving it well-groomed and non-greasy.’
I had no idea that this sat firmly in the budget range of grooming products (it’s RRP is £4.07 for 75ml) but prior experience with the got2b hair styling range meant that I had some pretty high hopes. Had I seen the price beforehand I would have expected little.
So what did the product do? Well, it surprised me immensely from the moment it left the bottle and for hour after hour later. Why? Well, many reasons. The first being the silky smooth oil that really could not be simpler to apply. Two to three pumps from the dispenser should be enough according to the directions but given the longer length of my facial foliage I use two to three on the beard on my cheeks and chin and another two to massage into the shaft of the hair that hangs about five inches down from under my chin and on my neck.
The oil is a lot thinner than pretty much every oil I’ve ever used before but this helps with the absorption into the hair and within a matter of seconds you’ll hardly know that you’ve applied it – it isn’t greasy as promised and washing it off your palms is much, much easier than other premium brands.
The results are out of this world – after three days of using this my beard was noticeably softer to the touch, and I mean really soft so much so that I spent most of last week stroking my beard. Normally if using oil on my beard this would result in residue bein transferred to my fingers and the risk of oil stains on my clothing but not with this – excellent.

While much runnier than normal this doesn’t detract from the hold it provides when styling the beard – I’ve found that it keeps my long beard in place for a good seven hours before the hairs start to lift up off my face and look untidy. That’s much better than oils you can find yourself paying upwards of £20 for elsewhere.
They say that the Got2b range is truly phenomenal and when it comes to the beard oil I’m inclined to agree. Not only can you pick this up for under £5 when fully priced (you can get it from Superdrugor just £3) it also leaves you feeling like you’ve just stepped out of the barber’s chair. I has a fragrance that will throw you back to your childhood (it reminds me of the smell of Barbicide used by barbers) while also taming your beard – it softens so well, in fact, better than any other beard oil I’ve used and it keeps my fairly long beard well and truly under control.
Price, availability and results taken into consideration and pow, you have an absolute belter of a beard oil.
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
