Suavecito Unscented Pomade – Rocking hard discretely

The Suavecito pomade brand has a earned a special place in my pomade scale.  It was my first and it changed my outlook on hair fixative at a time where gel ruled all mighty.  In many ways, discovering the Suavecito pomade is what sparked my interest in pomades and essentially led to the Style4Men.ca project. Read more

Apothecary 87 Manitoba pomade – A must have

Apothecary 87 is a UK brand that I became aware of through the Barber NV magazine where it was featured.  This brand hasn’t really made its way over to this side of the pond.  The imagery is totally interesting by merging a 1930’s gangster’esque to an even older image, that of the apothecary.  Of allRead more

After a few weeks without reviews, it feels like I am back on track and this morning it was up to the Grant’s pomade to be tried out.
