There's no question, Ruddy was the original Summer Butter/ liquid butter and still the best! With the Wanderer Summer Butter you get the full aroma of woodsy Carolina Pine and the sweet, sometimes tart, blend of berries that leaves the beard smelling great, and of course, feeling manageable and soft! If you've never tried Ruddy Man's Summer Butter, I cant think of a better beast to start with than Wanderer!
