The King Of Jericho Beard Kit vs stubble + 'stache Face + Beard Essentials Kit

The King of Jericho Beard Kit is the fuller grooming set: ten items, scent choice per product, and a leather-look bag that reads as a gift. The Face + Beard Essentials Kit is the better pick for itchy, flaky or dry skin under the beard, with a vegan, sulfate-free, cruelty-free two-step routine and a carbon fiber comb. Owners of the Jericho kit praise the scents and softness but some find the shampoo weak and the balm scent inconsistent. The stubble + 'stache kit draws praise for calming itch, though it skips shaving tools and styling extras.

• Choose the King of Jericho Beard Kit if you want a large, gift-ready assortment with oils, balm, butter, scrub, brush, comb and moustache wax, and you want to pick a scent for each item.
• Choose the Face + Beard Essentials Kit if the problem is skin under the beard — itch, flakes, dryness — and you want a short vegan, sulfate-free cleanse-and-hydrate routine that also suits stubble or a clean face.
