Murray’s Grandpa Harry Hair Paste

When I got my hands on the Murray’s La-Em Strait pomade, I kinda got into a “Murray’s” momentum and ordered one of the fun retro vintage bowling shirt. When I got my shirt, I was totally surprised to see that the guys at Murray’s had also packed in a little treat for me; a jarRead more

Murray’s La-Em Strait Pomade – Rocking it for over a 100 years

Now that I am mostly caught up on reviews I can set my focus back on the core business: Pomades!!! Earlier this week I was checking out Barber Shops in Toronto in view of a family trip there later in August. In this process I was looking up the Crows Nest Barbershop. This led meRead more

MURRAY’S ORIGINAL

This site would not be complete if Murray’s pomades were not mentioned. This is one of the oldest pomade products that is still around. As per their site, the original recipe goes back to 1926. That is some serious staying power. For a product to still be around that long, it has to have somethingRead more

IMPERIAL Barber Grade Products – Offering an Impressive Shave Suite

A bit over 4 year ago, when I was first exploring pomades and undergoing my spiritual conversion, one of the pomade that greatly contributed to this process was the one from IMPERIAL. This pomade was so good that it got a little spot of its own in my overall chart and scale of hair stylingRead more

GONZO Super Slick Pomade – Direct from Malaysia

September 14, 2017 I became aware of this pomade through the Lockhart’s Authentic site. But because of the very high shipping costs to Canada ($15 US) I set out to find an alternative. A simple query in Google brought me to the very slick Gonzo site, but I was soon disappointed to see that noRead more

Jack Dean Finishing Pomade – A light oil based pomade

Jack Dean is a British brand that caught my eye some months back. Beautiful and original packaging along with an interesting product line. The brand image conveys a sense of cool nostalgia of the 30’s. World travel and adventure at a time where new technologies made things possible for more than just the upper socialRead more

DAX Wave and Groom – Serious grease base hold

This morning I experimented with the DAX Wave and Groom hair dress. As you know, I thoroughly enjoy exploring hair fixative from the past. These brands that have managed to stay around through the decades and survive the test of time earn extra points in my book. The DAX hair dress is one of thoseRead more

Choosing a comb

When using pomade you soon realize that having some sort of brushing or combing tool is necessary. It was just a question of time before a “comb” post was to be added. So far I have mostly stuck to the traditional comb that can be found in pharmacies or hair supply stores. That being said,Read more

LUCKY TIGER Cru-Butch

Between the 20’s and the 50’s a number of men’s hair styling products came to be. As of lately I have been looking into these older brands. In many cases, the new pomades are copies of these older recipes or at the very least find their inspiration in these earlier pomades. The first one ofRead more
