Clubman-Pinaud Firm Hold Pomade

This morning I am stoked to be trying out something from the iconic Clubman-Pinaud brand: their new firm hold pomade.  With the huge pomade movement it was somewhat odd that a brand that was there at the beginning was not partaking into the pomade revival. Pinaud has been around and making men look better sinceRead more
