Let me tell you about Fabel Beard Company, the official beard products of the American History podcast.

Now, if you're a beard man like myself, you know that an itchy beard is the worst thing there is.

The good news is Fable has an amazing line of products that will soften that beard and make it smell amazing at the same time.

Even better is that it's October, and their line of Halloween themed scents are better than ever.

And these limited edition products include the collector,

the soul miner, which is a great one,

and my new favorite, the doll maker.

This particular one has a scent profile

of warm butterscotch, buttered rum,

candy corn, and creamy caramel.

It comes in a beard oil, a beard butter, and conditioner

co-wash. I'm using the beard oil right now, and I know you're going to love it. Check it out

at fablebeardco.com, and remember to use coupon code Sean 15 to get 15% off each and every single

order. That's right, 15% off each order, not just the first one. All right,
