My wife and I were at the mall yesterday and I stopped in at The Art of Shaving. Interesting store. I figured they might have some balm I could try. They had mustache wax, which the guy gave me a sample of, saying "Just try it. A little bit will give your beard some shine and help manage the stray hairs."

It worked. It wasn't too stiff, and everything looked good. But oh... the smell. I smelled like an old man (no offense to the old men around here! HAH!), and we had to drive home with the windows down because it was giving my wife a headache.

That's kinda what I'm hoping to avoid.
