Is beeswax necessary for this recipe? My husband loves his goatee, has had it since we met in 2003. Shaving it isn’t an option, because it’s easier to trim once a week than to shave daily. I get that, but it’s a little rough on *my* face without something to make it softer. He keeps the goat very short, so hold isn’t a concern at all. I’d like to make him something that will just make the hair less abrasive on my face.
