UPPERCUT DELUXE POMADE
Fantastic Packaging
This pomade from Uppercut Deluxe presented such a cool packaging, that I just had to try it. Yeah, I am a sucker for good presentation. And at that this one did not disappoint; the pomade comes in a proper thin can, just as it should – totally old school. The pomade then greets you with this fabulous coconut – beach smell. We can believe that this is to speaks to its Australian origins. It being an Australian product also made it fairly hard to obtain here in Canada. It took me almost 2 months to find a seller in my price range. I love pomades, but remortgaging the house for a jar is not an option.
Addendum February 2020: Uppercut Deluxe is now considerably easier to find in North America. My vendor of choice is Toucan Trading who is the Canadian distributor of Uppercut.
The products itself looks very refined. It was also easy to work with. Note that it has what looks like an element of fiber. The hold is absolutely perfect and it dries properly as opposed to staying wet or active. I should add that it dries firm as opposed to crunchy.
The Uppercut Deluxe pomade has a fairly short ingredient list as such you are not embarking in a chemical party. That also means that you will not be able to keep it forever.
In my quest to find this product in Canada, I visited their site and chatted with some of their service people. The Uppercut site is awesome, just as their service.
I recently updated the pictures to give you a more complete idea of what you are getting. Sadly, since this stuff was so awesome, it was all gone when I first posted this review and I haven’t had an opportunity to get a new jar as of yet.
