What pomades and others is everyone using?

Today I broke out the brylcreem, I am really hooked on the smell and how this stuff performs. Leaves my hair soft, conditioned, and comable.
Heres a pic of my stash. Thats a Wolf Whiskers brush photo bombing the hair items....stealing the spot light. Gauging hair stuff as I plan to do a couple pifs this week and one involving pomades and others.

 

I only use Groom&Clean. I've wanted to branch out and try others but to many options and G&C works great for me.

 

Groom and clean is on my list to try once I get through my last brylcreem.

 

I seem to be going for more of a dry look these days, but I still break out the Brylcreem and the Axe (the blue one and the purpleish one). On occasion, Tres Flores liquid.

I'd love to try the layrite or the suavecite tho.... (shameless hinting )

 

I just emptied out a tub of American Crew pomade and started in on a tub of Suavecito. I think I prefer the American Crew, seemed to have more shine and held without being hard. Suavecito seems to end up a bit on the hard side and not much shine. But I just got the Suavecito a couple days ago, it may be I just need to work with it a bit. But I do like its price better than Am. Crew.

I also keep a tube of Groom & Clean in my gym bag. It kind of reminds me of the "gel" I used in the '80s, which I do not consider a good thing. I'm also not that big a fan of the scent. But boy, is it cheap!

 

Suavecito I just gave the first try yesterday and it is nice stuff, definitely has a dry look with a bit of stiffness added to the hair but the hair manageable the rest of the day with a nice smell.

 

AC irritates the heck out of my scalp for some reason. But, it smells nice.

 

Ah.....I believe we need to see this 80's hairstyle you had.....pictures????

Was it the rare Kid-N-Play Mullet????




I don't really like or hate the scent of the G&C. So when I put on my after shave I run my fingers through my hair. It kills the scent and makes the scent of the after shave last a long time for me.

 

Heh. That is impressive. Pictures... I, ahem, don't think any have survived the passage of time. Suffice it to say, it was spiky.

 

ftfy. (no charge. )

 

Agassi had it pretty bad too.

 

I like Monkey brains, bees wax, dove, axe, and beyond the zone products but I have a lot more products then that. I'll also just rub a little vitialis in my hair some times like my dad lol. Before my addiction to shaving there was hair products.

 

True...but now he looks like the villain in a Guy Ritchie film.

 

ROFL... what a horrible shot.

 

Brylcreem, Alberto VO5 for Gray, Silver and Blonde hair, American Crew Pomade, American Crew Forming Cream

 

I thought 'the wet head is dead'—at least according to those Gillette ads for the early 70's….

 

I used Brylcreem for a long time, but I have recently started using Groom & Clean and like it quite a bit. I also use Murray's Superior as a thin top coat to hold everything in place. I want to try some others, but have not yet. I have been hearing good things about Suavecito and Layrite.

 

So on a whim I picked up some Beyond the Zone Retro Vinyl pomade, and wow it is just what I've been looking for. A little less hold, but still plenty; stays totally soft; nice and shiny; and water based. And cheap. Not sure the Suavecito will see much use now...

Oh, and I did find an old photo of my goofy old hair, not quite from the 80s, but I had a pretty goofy look going about fifteen years ago, too. I'm the one on the right.

 

Right now I use Brylcream, Pinaud gel.

 

I just shower, dry, comb and go.
I may occasionally use Consort for Men hair spray; usually on Sundays for church.
Other than that, nothing.
