Who wears a shaped moustache and what wax do you use, recommend?

Al, if you do a search of the lounge you'll find Moustache wax review, there are numerous discussions about waxes. Additionally there is a thread that discusses The Moustache.

Thanks BR, forgive me for my laziness.

I've tried a bunch and haven't found "the one". I didn't care for the texture or especially the scent of Bounder. I most recently tried Wild West Beards based on a shootout review and it's "ok"--kind of hard to get out of the tin (requires a lot of heating) and hold is medium. I like the texture and ease of use with Firehouse but the hold is so-so. Similar is Mr. Kings, which has my favorite scent. Cowboy Stache Wax is the only one I've tried that really holds through moisture, sweat, etc, but it is hard to wash out and can get clumpy--and I yank out more hairs using it. I've also tried glue sticks, pomade, and Got To Be Glued (that works pretty well). I think the bottom line is you have to find one that works for YOU as we all have unique stache hair!-my stache is white so I can't have anything with dye, and my hairs are pretty soft. Lately I've been using the Firehouse or Mr. Kings as more of a "training aid"--apply and blow dry--some days are good, others out of control lol. I can't really commit to twisting the ends as it's a bit radical for my job--only for occasional nights out--but it's always a balance/compromise of getting things trimmed up just right for a particular style. The "cookie duster" is probably my best option, but I'm not giving up on the handlebars!! Next to try is Can You Handlebar--they make a Primary and a Secondary--some guys use both! Good luck and check out this site--lots of product and reviews:

I've had the same experience with Cowboy Stache Wax, Got2b Glued & many others as has been mentioned. I still change up from time to time but my current favorite for all hair unruly would be Layrite Cement Clay. And I have found a couple of local sources that sell it.

Been carrying a tube of Mustache Putty in my pocket for a while now. It's a roll-up but I dig it out with my thumbnail. Not a super hold but good for a touch up after hot coffee, etc. Convenient.

Online. I've been using some of his beard grease so I throw a couple of tubes in with each order for the same shipping. Been happy with the beard grease too.

Thread resurrection! I’m still searching for the right ‘stache wax—I think I’ve tried pretty much all of them it seems! My hair is pretty soft, and I sweat a fair amount, so I need a very strong hold. Also my moustache is white, so anything yellow or brownish doesn’t work. The “Cowboy Stache Wax” is perhaps the best I’ve found, but it’s hard to apply, gets clumpy pretty easily, plus I pull out a lot of hairs in the process—but it probably holds the best (and of course is hard to wash out). Any more suggestions?

When I was using the Cowboy Stache Wax I would heat it in the tin with a blow dryer to soften it up to apply. It does pull a lot of hairs out & I had the best results in washing it out with something that would break it down better than soap...beard oil, then finish up with soap or shampoo.

The ‘Bearded Goons’ wax is about the best I’ve found, a little gives a good hold and doesn’t get clumpy or sticky.

Thanks—I have some of that—will give it another try.

I’ve tried lots of waxes, Penhaligons is pretty good too but not cheap and can be difficult to find.
