The manly scents come from all-natural botanicals like eucalyptus, ginseng, guarana, green tea, pomegranate and moringa.
The Extreme Yawp Wash is a must for your shower experience (the 33-0unce bottle for $34.99 lasts nearly six months). It’s an all-in-one hair, beard and body wash — the nice tingly experience will fully awaken you in the shower.
The Hair Paste ($12.99) is the best hair-styling product available for maximum hold.
