FIRST POMADE REVIEWS

      August 20, 2016 After having picked up a jar of Railcar “standard hold” pomade in Toronto last week, this morning was testing time.  Let’s start by mentioning the packaging.  It’s a glass jar with a metal lid – perfectly old school.  In my mind, it set the tone right.  If as a maker...

August 13, 2016 A good option if you don’t want to look like you are using a product After some weeks of delaying trying this product, I finally tried the “Jack Black Wax Pomade“.   The main reason I was delaying this test was because the “Jack Black Pomade” is a wax based products.  So far...

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 something...

An everyday pomade Reuzel is a dutch company which mostly focused on oil-based pomades, but they make 1-2 water based versions.  We tried the blue tin.  Up front, Reuzel products are fairly easy to find in Canada.  Maybe not at your local pharmacy but quite possibly at your local barber shop or at the hair...

A perfect pomade The ZEUS pomade is one of my favorites.   It comes in a decent looking plastic jar with a metal lid.  It is clear.  Has a firm texture but is very easy to loosen.  Its citrusy scent is smooth and un-dominating.  The application goes nicely and it takes very little product.  The hold...

A fabulous every day pomade Different shopping tools were presenting Steadfast as something people who liked ZEUS or Suavecito would also appreciate.   It was just a question of time before I bought a jar and tried it. Well friends, this pomade is the real deal.  It’s one of those lovely little finds.  A gem for...

Top notch pomade This was a pomade I tried early on in my quest.  At that time my curiosity and desire to find the perfect pomade was immense and I was willing to pay a premium to find it.  A few sites gave good descriptions and overall people spoke highly of this product.  After much...

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...

Superbe Pomade I will open with saying that “Layrite Original” is a splendid pomade.  It meets every expectation one would have for a pomade.  The texture of the product is firm but easy and pleasant to work with.  Very little of the product is necessary to achieve proper hair placement.  It offers a very discreet...

  19 | Fifties: Fabulous Product This pomade being produced in Toronto is very exciting to this reviewer as I get to try a “Canadian” product.  So many pomades come from elsewhere that we almost forget that Canada can produce other things than lumber and electricity.  I like the marketing approach that has been taken...
