Why we rate it
Reach for this when a plain oil is not quite enough for a coarser beard but you do not want the hold of a wax. It conditions like an oil with a touch more control, absorbs without going greasy, and the Sicilian lime and caffeine scent is a genuine lift first thing in the morning.
Men Rock built its Sicilian Lime range around caffeine and a sharp citrus scent, and the balm is the pick of it. It sits between an oil and a wax: enough conditioning to soften wiry hair and calm flyaways, without the stiff hold that leaves a beard feeling crunchy.
Warm a little between your palms and work it through a towel-dried beard, down to the skin. A 100ml tin lasts a long time. If your beard is long or unruly you may want a balm with more hold, but for most short-to-medium beards this does the daily job well.
