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

Boardwalk – What a pomade should be!

This morning I tried a new pomade; Boardwalk original.  WOW this stuff is nice!  I love everything about it.  The container, the labeling, the colour of the pomade, its fragrance, its texture and the results!  This is exactly what I have been looking for and I am thrilled to have tried it. I got myRead more

La Coupe For Men Styling Pomade – Extra Shine

You never know where and when you might find something of interest.  During my last visit at my local Winner’s I took a peek in the beauty section.  On that day I found a number of things, the ZIRH pre-shave oil and shaving cream as well as a little jar of pomade;  La Coupe ForRead more

Sexy Hair Rough & Ready

This morning was testing time for a hair product I had high hopes for:  Sexy Hair – Rough & Ready. I initially ordered it from Amazon as they had the best price at $12 a jar, but ended up canceling my order a few days later since the shipping was going to take 1-2 months. Read more

Cock Grease – Rooster Rocking Results

I know!  Hilarious name, right?!  This pomades comes to us from Japan.  The brand name just made me laugh and the slogans on the lid sold me.  I told myself that even if the pomade didn’t turn out the jar alone would be a talking piece. Something to note, there are two different pomades outRead more

Gatsby Cool Wet – Natural looking results

As part of my regular pomade exploration, I came across some interesting brands coming from Japan.  One of these brands is GATSBY.  A few of their fixative solutions were available on Amazon at reasonable prices.  But before jumping on the first jar, I decided to check out the GATSBY web page.  A very nice webRead more

Johnny Sheen Hair Pomade – A well deserved star

Via the issuu magazine application on android and iPad I was made aware of a very interesting publication: Barber NV. This is an Irish/British magazine covering as you can guess, barbering topics. The layout is very nice and the contents are totally on the mark. I actually ended up subscribing to the print issue asRead 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
