Today's episode of The Once in Future Nerd is brought to you by Plus One Balms, made from the finest natural ingredients and inspired by the traditional RPG stats.

Plus One Balms are everything you need to level up your beard or boost your skin's armor class after you shave.

I personally have the Plus One of Strength balm, and I use it as a beard balm and an aftershave. It smells great.

It makes my beard feel soft and clean and it leaves my skin feeling smooth. I really, really like

this stuff and I think you will too if you try it. So head to plus one balms.com slash

T-O-A-F-N and enter code T-O-A-F-N at checkout.
