Pomade
Don't forget, Murray's superior don't shine, or have a very light mate shine. If you find it at wallmart, also take some murray's light. Same price but lots of shine. Murray's superior is quite hard to use, so, for a beginner, i'd highly recommend something lighter. Regards from France...- Bert

Pomade
I don't know this one. Usually, I don't like the washables pomades. However, I used to use Layrite when I learned how to dress my hair. As you can wash them out, you can experiment without taking the risk to build a bulletproff grease cake on your hair. But, well, I now find it less efficient...- Bert
