HairGum Water – High Shine, Medium Hold

I am fairly excited about this post since this HairGum will be the first pomade from France to go under test in our labs.  I have had the luxury of trying some fabulous products from, Great-Britain (Dapper Dan) and Germany (Rumble 59 Schmiere), but nothing from France yet. There are a number of small elementsRead more

American Crew Pomade – For Super Shine In A Water Formulation

Over the last year or so, I have been interested in the American Crew brand.  The advertising and imagery is undeniably; classy and attractive.  Many of the jars sport a slick young Elvis.  Although I have tried the Fiber and, I suspect the cream, I had yet to try the “POMADE”!  So here we are.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
