Uppercut Deluxe Shampoo and Conditioner Set – Not in the same league as their pomade

This morning I tried a shampoo and conditioner I had high hopes for, a set from our Australian friends at Uppercut Deluxe. The Uppercut Deluxe pomade is certainly one that has left a lasting impression on me and it’s one of my all time pomade favorites.  Based on that impression, I was totally interested inRead more

Prospector Iron Ore – All around impressive

For the last couple of years my family and I have been taking an urban vacation in Toronto in August.   As part of this vacation we did a few Style4men related things, one of which was to go for a straight razor shave and hair cut at the Crows Nest Barber shop.  Another was toRead more

DIY Hair Gel Test

To my surprise the number one reason people are dropping by at Style4Men is to read the homemade pomade test I wrote almost a year ago.  Sadly, I have not explored the DIY thing any further.  That being said, I felt it might be time to reconsider this Over the past year I have researchedRead more

Suavecito Premium Blend Matte Pomade

Here we are with another Suavecito product, the matte pomade from their Premium Blend product line. If you are a Style4Men regular, you already know that I am not entirely objective when it comes to Suavecito.  I have a distinct preference for how they do, what they do!  The last products I have tested out ofRead more

Beyond the Zone (BTZ) Retro Vinyl and Rock On Spray Wax

When I visited Sally Beauty for the first time (see the post on this visit) I picked up a couple of “Beyond The Zone (BTZ)” hair products.  The pricing and presentation convinced me to give them a try. I picked up a jar of the Retro Vinyl pomade and the Wax spray. Everything about theRead more

SHAVERBOY Safety Razor Blades – Unbeatable shave for the price

I was recently shopping on eBay for some double-edge safety razor blades.  Somewhere in the search, I was presented with a brand I had never heard about; SHAVERBOY.  The simple and friendly brand image made me smile right away.  I decided to get out of eBay and research the brand.  This lead me to theirRead more

Quantum ST Multi-Styler – Texture Wax

When trying out a new hair cream, I am always somewhat torn.  One one hand, creams offer volume and natural looking results.  On the other hand the hold is generally decent but nowhere near the indestructible category.   Read this as “creams” do not offer as much hold as a pomades.  But as mentioned above theirRead more

A Straight Razor Shave at the Crow’s Nest Barber Shop in Toronto

This weekend I was in Toronto with my family for an urban vacation.  It’s becoming a yearly little visit to our Canadian metropolis.  As part of this visit, I obviously wanted to make the most of it and make a stop at one of Toronto’s top barbershops.  I ran a few queries on Google toRead more

ZIRH Erase Aftershave Relief Tonic – A non-alcoholic liquid solution

I have been meaning to write a follow up to the ZIRH shave cream for a while now.  Perhaps 2 months after buying the ZIRH shave cream jar I was finally able to get my hands on their aftershave tonic at Winner’s (again).  My preference is always to use shaving products together as the workingRead more

Barburys Shampoo and Conditioner “In-one”

After being so impressed with the Barburys Pomade, I picked up a number of other Barbury products at the Sally Beauty shop.  We are now onto the Shampoo and Conditioner combo. The scent of this product is similar to that of the Barburys shaving cream and aftershave balm: woodsy pine, a spice element with aRead more
