Henri et Victoria Cuban Cigar and Cognac roll-on cologne

Today I am wearing the Cuban Cigar and Cognac roll-on cologne by Henri et Victoria.  What a treat!  I became aware of this fragrance through my recent exploration of the pomade with the same scent from Henri et Victoria earlier this summer.  Not only did the pomade out-perform many other pomades for its hold, butRead more

Suavecito Fall 2017 Pomade – Our favorite skull does Halloween

Loving all things Suavecito, I was thrilled to learn that they were continuing on the path of producing a new seasonal pomade edition for Fall.  Producing seasonal fragrance is becoming a popular thing in the artisan pomade world with brands like LOCKHART’S and Shear Revival.  That being said and as far as I know SuavecitoRead more

A call to pomade makers: Shipping costs are hindering the industry

This started out as a paragraph within a review for the latest Suavecito Fall 2017 pomade.   But I got carried away by the subject and opted to take it into a post of its own. Being in Canada, I more or less have to rely on my Canadian suppliers to purchase Suavecito products at aRead more

BOARDWALK Strong hold

A few months back, I tried the BOARDWALK pomade and was totally impressed with the whole affair: vintage aluminum thin can,  retro labeling, scent, texture, hold and wash-ability.  For my taste, this was pomade perfection!  Trying more of their product was just a question of time.  The opportunity came as a result of a pomadeRead more

Hairgum WATER + Pomade – Scent of happiness

Today I am writing about a second  WATER pomade from the folks of hairgum in France.  The first hairgum WATER pomade I had tried had not performed all that well. It offered lots of shine but little hold.  It also had 4 parabens listed in the ingredients.  I figured that the door was closed onRead more

Two Texturizing Sea Salt Sprays

It seams like I am repeating myself a bit by always mentioning that my hair is longer.  But it is! 🙂  …and I figured that it might also be calling for a slight adjustment in the styling products.  Don’t think for a moment that pomades would be falling in disgrace.  Not a chance!  Pomade isRead more

Johnny’s Chop Shop Wild Cat Hair Clay and Trigger Happy Spray

Many months ago, I tried an awesome pomade from the London Barbers at  Johnny’s Chop Shop ; the Johnny Sheen Hair Pomade.  This pomade was so good, that I set out to try more of their products. The folks at Johnny’s Chop Shop informed me that their Canadian distributor was London Drugs.  Don’t let the name ofRead more

Hawkins & Brimble Pomade – Classic and Unforgettable in every way

Hawkins & Brimble is a British brand that has caught my eye.  They make a number of men’s grooming products from shave cream all the way to hair pomade. Presentation wise, it is very appealing in a classic manly way.  Recently, our friends at “The Modern Man” were having a sale on this brand andRead more
