KEEP YOUR BEARD IN TIP-TOP CONDITION THIS CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR WITH CLAAN Words & Imagery By Sebastian Oakley With the “Beard Trend” going strong with no sign of halting we take a look at two products from beard grooming aficionados; Claan and see how their beard oils stack up at maintaining your beard. The Collection: Virtue Virtue conditioning Beard Oil has a wonderful new fresh fragrance that really is inviting. There are hints of sweet mandarin, coconut and cedar with a deeper tone of leather and almond leaving your beard smelling wonderful as well as being conditioned and refreshed via the vitamin E oils that are within the blend. Overall, both beard oils from Claan are truly fantastic and are something that I can see every beard-goer going for. They produce outstanding oils that really help with the growing and grooming of your beard which have very deep and rich fragrances along with outstanding packaging as you can see from the images. I would highly recommend anyone who is in the market for top-notch beard oil to give the oils from Claan a try. They also have rather beautiful 5.5 inch matte black professional grade barbers scissors on offer, as well as a handcrafted pure bristle beard brush. However, don’t take my word for it. Visit their website: www.claan.co.uk - You wont be disappointed. Another great achievement is that with this blend, as with Bloodline there is no alcohol added just pure natural oils at work which help heal and moisturise your skin and hair to add a wonderful glow and structure to your beard. Bloodline Bloodline Conditioning Beard Oil is the second offering from Claan and is completely different to the Virtue fragrance. Bloodline is a much deeper sophisticated blend made up of exotic dark woods and rich spice notes such as aromatic cardamon and amber. This oil is again accompanied by coconut and avocado vitamin E oils to nourish your skin and beard. The Gentleman Magazine | 49
