    Hair cuts

    I've been sporting the slick look for a number of years now and can't see going back to the dry look. I'm using Royal Crown Pomade (not the Hair Dressing) and it does a great job getting a super wet shiny look. Works great for pomps or side parted styles. I wear a side parted pomp most of the...

    Like the vintage 40s/50s-early 60s look - the Don Draper style.

    Brylcreem

    Great discovery with hair tonic I've seen a few posts where guys have recommended Vitalis hair tonic. I tried it awhile back and never really liked it for it's aroma. However, I thought I'd give it another try - it has been awhile. SO, I went to Walgreens and got a bottle. This time I used it...

    Brylcreem

    Still using Brylcreem I have not stopped using brylcreem since buying my first tube a few years back. The stuff is great. I'm recentl back to sporting the pomp with a side part these days - had a change in jobs so could be a bit more fun with the hair style. Don't get me wrong, I do like the...

    Pomade

    prefer old school products I've tried these 'SALON' hair products and just don't care for them. Personal preference I guess. In the 80s I tried Mousse - yuck, that was like putting glue in your hair. Gel, makes hair hard and like having plastic in your hair. I like my hair to be wet, glossy...

    Pomade

    My favorites My daily routine is to use brylcreem. I like the the wet look and control it gives. I usually wear it parted on the side, and having hair wet with brylcreem makes it easy to get a super straight side part that I like. I've also found that if you want stronger, tighter hold...

    Brylcreem

    Getting the wetlook - use brylcreem A "dab" is not a very clearcut amount is it? For me, I use about a US Quater coin size dollop, and sometimes more if I really want it wet looking. The 'little dab' is a nice slogan, but I've found you really need to use enough to get the wet look right...

    Hair Tonic

    Hair tonic tip When using a liquid hair tonic, I apply it to dry hair. You can apply just a little for very very light control, or apply enough to thouroughly saturate the hair making it wet if you want a classic wetlook style. You can then comb it into place, or if you're like me, either add...

    Hair Tonic

    my favorites I usually use Pomade (American Greaser Supply brand 40wt), Brylcreem, Groom&Clean, or combo of them. If I really want it to shine with a very wet look, I'll add some Vitalis or Luck Tiger with Oil. Usually the pomade or brylcreem is my daily routine. Both are inexpensive and do a...

    Pomade

    Received new supply of AGS Hair Grease I'm a big fan of American Greaser Supply 40wt Pomade. This stuff is real greaser pomade - not a pansy ass gel or fake wax. Has plenty of good greasing grease. Very pleasant mild aroma - not vanilla, coconut, or any other fruit salad fragrance - just a mild...

    Hair cuts

    Haircut journey Well here it is August, end of summer coming soon, so I've started the long journey back to letting my hair grow out so I can get enough length to brylcreem a nice pomp. Got my last #1.5 up the sides and #4 on top for the season last weekend. Been slicking what I have on top...

    Pomade

    Men's Hairstyle Section The forum should really have a section devoted to men's hair. There's one for the ladies, but I see posts in various sections about mens hair - no common place. I'd like to see how you guys wear your hair - I'm looking for options to try.

    Pomade

    American Greaser Supply, Groom & Clean, Brylcreem I use Brylcreem Original (not gel) for everyday use, but also like American Greaser Pomade. Brylcreem washes out easier, but has lighter hold. If I apply a combo of AGS and brylcreem I get the best hold and super slick shine. I have to use...
