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

REUZEL Grooming Tonic – A Slightly Sticky Preparation Tonic

As mentioned in my last post, I am catching up on weeks/months of products accumulation and testing.  This post is about the new REUZEL Grooming Tonic. The Rotterdam Scumbags (Bertus and Leen) have expanded their product offering by adding a “Grooming Tonic” to the REUZEL line.  I was made aware of this addition by readingRead more

Redken Clean Spice Shampoo

During my last visit at Hair Junkie, I inherited a new shampoo to try out: Redken 2 in 1 Clean Spice. I use to think that shampoo was just shampoo.  For sure there were a few basic distinctions; fine hair, oily hair, normal hair, but nothing life altering.  Over time I realized that some shampoosRead more

Clubman-Pinaud Eau de Portugal Hair Tonic

To date the only hair tonic I had explored was the one from Reuzel.  After a period of unclarity as to what a hair tonic is used for, its purpose painted itself as a fantastic hair style revival solution.

Dry Shampoo – The ladies secret weapon

REUZEL Daily Shampoo – a deep cleaner

Yesterday I felt lucky and indulged in a petro based pomade: Lucky Tiger. That stuff surprises me every time.  As good as it is, then comes the difficult task of washing it out.  In preparation of my next petro-pomade usage I had ordered a bottle of the REUZEL daily shampoo some weeks ago on Amazon.Read more

REUZEL Hair Tonic

Today’s post is about the Reuzel hair tonic.  A men’s hair solution that has more or less been forgotten or at the very least fallen outside the hair repertoire. Having recently been trying older types of pomades which are not strictly water based I was also being confronted with the difficult reality of washing outRead more

HEADGEAR Chill Out Shampoo & Memory Glue

I haven’t done reviews on shampoos before, but since I bought the HEADGEAR memory glue and shampoo together, I figured I should cover them together as well.  First off, HEADGEAR is an Australian company and their products are meant for hair salons.  I was introduced to this brand by the folks at OBSCO who runRead more
