One of my fun yet usefull finds earlier in the year while in Palm Springs  is BlueBeards Original Beard Saver. This lime-based cream goes on smooth and helps to get the skin underneath my beard feeling clean (thats the citris) while softening the beard itself. The scent is mild and disapears quick — but if you take a swim you may taste lime-cream a bit.  You can purchase this at the shaving store downtown Palm Springs.

From its manufacturer:
Beard Saver : This daily skin and facial hair lotion acts as an outstanding anti-itch and conditioner for new growth. And for the established beard, just a dab rubbed throughout the facial hair, from root to tip, will manage even the most unruly facial hair. With aloe vera to soothe and protect, and lime essential oils, which helps to dissolve oils trapped by whiskers. Great for both your scruff and your skin.
