MOULDER – by the very elegant and modern Hairbond

Today’s hot feature is a brand that comes to us from the United Kingdom: HAIRBOND! The first thing that caught my eye with this brand is the elegant and timeless shield and eagle blazon.  I am a bit of a sucker for heraldic symbols.  The second thing was the clear, glass-like jar which creates aRead more

Paste Pomade by CON MOTO

As you know by my recent unboxing, I have been exploring the CON MOTO product line.  I initially got interested in this brand for two very simple reasons: first because of the totally original product branding with the griffin like winged lioness and second, because of their full product line offering: pomade, cream, paste andRead more

PASTE by Victory Crown Barber Co.

Having been very impressed with the Victory Crown Barber Co. SLICK pomade, I continued my testing with their PASTE. In previous tests when working with pastes, I have often found that as interesting of a solution as paste might be there was very little grip to be found.  The Victory Crown PASTE totally surprised meRead more

WAX ZERO from By Vilain

As a continuation of my product tests of the Danish company “By Vilain”, it’s up to the Wax Zero fixative to be tried out.  My first blurb on “By villain” was posted on Instagram and can also be found here. I will start by the labelling/presentation of this product line.  The simplest 2 words descriptionRead more

Lockhart’s Anti-Gravity

The Lockhart’s brand name is one that comes up frequently when looking for hair pomades.  In fact it has been coming up in my searches ever since I started the Style4men.ca project.  Unfortunately, I had not been able to get a hold a jar until now.  I was initially interested in their water based ProfessionalRead more

Redken Brews – Work Hard Molding Paste

This is the second part to the Redken Brews reviews.  In this one we are covering the Work Hard Molding Paste.  I will admit not having been all that successful with paste up to now, but because of the very optimistic name “Work Hard”,  I figured it had to be put to the test. ThisRead more

KIPA Toffee Fibre Paste – Smelling Delicious

Last month, while going through The Barber magazine on the ISSUU platform I came across this slick and modern looking hair styling brand; KIPA. The advertising mentioned a Toffee Fibre Paste. As interesting as that sounded, I essentially just went along as this being a catchy name.  I had no clue how big of aRead more

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

Rowdy Paste by Sudzz – incredible scent

This week I got to try out another product from Sudzz thanks to our friends at OBSCO, the Rowdy Paste. Paste is somewhat different from pomade as it is considerably stickier.  If anything, paste is quite close if not the same thing as mud or clay.  Maybe a little more refined.  Since I had beenRead more

REDKEN Rough Paste 12 – Unexpected humpft!

A while back, Fady the owner of Hair Junkie on Laurier Street West in Ottawa, gave me a sample of the Redken Rough Paste 12 to try out.  For the longest time I had been a Redken enthusiast.  That was until I was introduced to pomades.  Then the part of my brain that manages hairRead more
