Starwax premium pomade clay review is live on the blog ans on YouTube. "Holding like a light weight to medium, starwax clays held just enough to give me a great textured, little messy look." " It’s dry, easy to use nature, and overall control was something I have been looking for lately."

Hello, guys and gals. Finally I am taking a look at Toronto, Canadas own union pomade by @19fiftiesofficial. 19fifties Union is largely inspired my the 1950s Grooming and the opening of Union Station in the 1950s. Yes I know this is another orthodox water based but this one is slightly different then some of the others. so let's just get into this review shall we. Presentation The beautiful contrasted black background sticker logo goes well with the white 4oz plastic jar with a twist off lid. On the lid you will find a time clock as well as the 19fifties pomade logo. The face of the pomade jar shows the union logo with information on how apply this pomade and it's ingredients to the left and the 1950s logo to the right. Under the lid you will find some history on the union Subway where the pomades name comes from. Scent The scent is really nothing special but that does not mean that it is not a good scent. It's really fresh and clean and sort of reminds me of a light baby power. Honestly wish that it was a bit stronger and long lasting but sadly I was not able to smell it passed application. Application/styling Union is definitely One of the easiest scooped and easiest orthodox water based pomades to apply that I have tried. There was no tug and pull at all when applied to damp hair. The styling process was just as easy, with my comb gliding through my hair with no tug and pull at all. Hold/shine It's advertised medium/heavy hold does come from the brute strength this pomade provided when it hardens up and boy does it harden up. Expect helmet hair with this pomade, fellahs but also expect you hair to stay just the way you styled it. Shine started high but one the hardening set in it turned into a natural shine. Overall Even though it is just a run of the mill orthodox water based pomade, Union by @19fiftiesofficial really impressed me with the overall application and hold it provided so I would recommend anyone that is into orthodox pomade or just anyone that's looking for a lock in hold to pick some up.

Hello, guys and gals. The review for @redhouse is finally here after weeks of delay! Now red house pomade is made in Kentucky by a brewer named Tre and is probably one of the most unique pomades I have tried in a while. With out going into too much detail here let's get into this review. Presentation Redhouse pomade comes in a beautiful 4oz amber glass jar with a black plastic, ribbed, twist off top. On the face you will see the redhouse pomade logo and banners stating the base of the pomade. To the left of the jar will be the directions and ingredients of the pomade and on the right will be little info on where this pomade was made. Scent The vanilla and tobacco scent on this is just amazing and pretty stong to boot. Now don't let the tobacco scent fool you, it it's not a smoke a cigarette scent but more of a sweet under toon to the more dominant vanilla scent. Longevity wise, I was able to get whiffs of this scent even at the end of my work days. Application/styling Due to its more hair cream like texture this pomade went into my hair with ease when applied to damp, towel dried hair. I did get some tug and pull with additional applications but it was nothing uncomfortable. Styling was a breeze as well and even though it combed very well I did find myself getting some very nice habdcombed styles as well. Hold/shine Advertised as a medium but holding like a light medium, redhouse pomade held very well through the elements. It felt really light in hair but it still held pretty much how I styled it with limited waving and a few stray hairs. I got a low shine out of this pomade which lasted pretty much all day. I just had to mention that a big reason why u recommend this product is the light feeling in my hair, just felt soft and malleable. Overall I was really impressed over all with redhouse pomade. It's creamy texture is something different than your usual unorthodox pomade and it's light feel, in hair, and medium strength hold was one of the best I had in a while. I really recommend you guys go out and try this product out.

Guys and gals I am back bringing you the second and final review for California based pomade @boardwalkpomade. This week I took a look at the original hold by boardwalk and it seems a bit similar.. Let me go straight into the review so you know why I'm saying this. Presentation Same as the strong hold this pomade comes in a 4oz black plastic jar with a twist off top. Black and white pictures of boardwalks, people and the Golden gate Bridge like the top logo and jar very well and bring out the essence a a boardwalk pretty well. The boardwalk logo can be found on the too and jar as well. Scent It's a standard Cologne scent that I wished differentiated itself from the strong hold. It's not bad at all though I like it. Think of a Cologne scented axe or old Spice type of body spray and you will get the scent of this pomade. Application/styling I applied this pomade to more were hair this time due to the fact that I got some tag and pull when I put in 2 or 3 scoops of pomade in my hair. It was nothing too uncomfortable but it did hinder my time in the bath room. Styling was pretty easy and quick and the strength this pomade gained quickly really helped style my hair just how I wanted. Hold/shine The hold was just medium, no gimmicks or promises which is something i appreciate alot. Yes I did have stray hairs and waving but the weather was a huge factor with that. It does not harden up in hotter weather but in cold it hardens up like a rock so weather will be a factor in that. Shine stayed medium throughout the day with minimal lose in shine. Overall For an orthodox water based, medium hold pomade, boardwalk pomade did it's work. Boardwalk is a simple straight to the point pomade and overall my experience was good, nothing too dull and nothing to get over excited about. Still if you guys are on the market for a medium based pomade similar to layrite and suavecito I suggest you check this pomade out.

@boardwalkpomade, is a company and pomade created by 2 brothers who hatched an idea on how they can improve on pomades that are on the market today. Through months of trail and error boardwalk pomades were born and on June of 2015 they were open for business. This week I'm looking at their strong hold pomade and I'm very curious if it's hot California roots will make it here in Texas. Presentation Due to the nice logo this 4oz black plastic jar has, it really has an essence of a board walk. The lid is filled with black and photos of bridges and people along with the boardwalk pomade logo in the center. The gold lining and the strong hold Texas are 2 ways to differentiate the original and the strong hold. On the face of the jar you will see the boardwalk pomade logo along with the ingredients and directions on how to use this pomade properly. Scent The scent is Cologne like, bold, clean with a slight freshness to it. Think of an old Spice or axe body wash would have, that is what the scent reminded me of. Longevity wise it does not last past application. Application/styling Just to make sure my hair was fully covered I applied this strong hold pomade into damp/wet hair. Even with my hair damped up I get some pulling but it was nothing uncomfortable. Styling was easy and quick but I did have to style quick from time to time due to the quick hardening. Hold/shine This strong hold pomade held really well even with this Texas heat. I did have some stray hairs and on some occasions lost some shape but I was still pretty impressed. Hardening was a little factor on some parts of my hair that I didn't damp up when applying. The shine started off nice, not greasy looking, and high but did dissipate into a low almost natural shine. Overall Boardwalk strong hold is your usual orthodox water based pomade, that being said it did work pretty well in my day-to-day activities . I believe that boardwalk pomades strong hold rivals some of the top water based pomades out on the market today and is something that you guys should look into.

Today I'm taking a look at grippie, the true medium, patchouli scented pomade by none other than @pompking1. This was the pomade that got me looking into pompking pomades and I finally got my hands on one of the tins. So let's see if my wait was worth it, this is the review for grippie. Presentation Grippie comes in a black 4oz black tin with a black twist off top the label on the top goes well with how pompking presents their products consisting of a tough greaser with a tall pomp alot with the grippie logo and information on the product below it. On the back you will find the ingredients and information on how to use the product. Scent This pomade straight up smells like patchouli, no mixed scents here. What is patchouli? Well it's a type of plant that gives off a weedy, wet dirt type of scent which grippie captures perfectly. Does not sound too appealing the way I described it, I personally love it but it is an acquired scent. It is pretty strong at times so be prepared to get hints of it through out the days. Application/styling Went into my hair pretty light at first which did worry me a bit but with more applications (3 to 5 scoops) I was able to get the hold u needed to get my hair stayed. Speaking of it, styling was a breeze as well and it got alot better once I had a build up in my hair Hold/shine Grippie held my hair just like a true medium, heavier petro based pomade holds my hair. It was exactly what I expected, slight distinct waving and stray hairs and though that sounds bad it really was not. The hold/taming of the waves got significantly better once I had a build up in my hair. The oiliness is strong with this pomade so the shine is high and is very long lasting. Overall The truly under-rated Grippie is a back to basics, no gimmicks, oil based pomade that really put in some work in the hold and shine department but like I mentioned the scent might not be for everyone. Still overall I enjoyed having this pomade in my hair and would recommend picking a tin or two up and soon because the brewer is thinking of revamping the scent and presentation of this product. I really recommend you guys pick up a tin or two!

After some set backs I am finally looking at "all natural" (uses fragrance oils) @coldlvbel wolfin pomade. Cold label was started by barber John Jefferson has grown into a chains of Barbershops and of course Grooming products. So let's just get into the review for thier pomade shall we. Presentation This pomade comes in your standard 4oz silver tin with a twist off tip. A label on the lid consists of the cold label logo to the top, the word premium above illustrations of styles you can possible achieve with this pomade and the amazing ingredients list to the bottom. The overall look with the white and grey tone vertical lines just gives of a Barbershop feel which is perfect for this pomade Scent It honestly took me a while to get the scent that cold label was going for and the vague advertised "classic premium scent" did not lend a hand in figuring out the scent. With more use I was able to smell a dominant coconut type of scent with other unidentified undertone scents. It does lean more towards a fragrance coconut than natural but the scent is great and long-lasting. Application/styling Since this pomade is shea butter based it mixed into a lotion type of texture that applied into my hair really well, with slight pulling. Styling was a breeze but on some days I did decide to go with a hand combed style which worked pretty well, in fact it's the style I preferred. Hold/shine On the tin it says firm hold and though I see that from how thick and slightly heavy it felt in my hair, in my experience it leaned towards the light side of medium. The weather was a factor with my hair succumbing to waves and an over all puffed up look in my hair but for the type of pomade this is, it held well. With a build up the hold did get a little better. If you like high shine products than this is a must to try, stayed nice and shiny all day. Overall I really did enjoy using this pomade, it's hold and scent were great, that coupled with the impressive ingredients list I can see why they call it a premium pomade. Only real gripe is that it does feel pretty oily and greasy in hair but it was not a huge nuisance. I really recommend you guys pick up a tin of this pomade.

Hello, guys and gals. I was sick this week and could not fully give you guys a review for cold label so my girl decided to do a review for you guys! This is a review for the summer edition of @bigslickpomadeco heavy hold. Yes this is more towards woman, gentlemen but you might find it useful for present ideas. Presentation This @bigslickpomadeco comes in a basic round metal tin. It's label us charming in a peachy pink top with black and red Big slick logo. It's aesthetic features is a bit novelty, like something you would see in a Las Vegas gift ship but I like it nonetheless. On the back you will go on to find the ingredients on other little information on the pomade. Scent The scent is advertised as a "smoked pineapple" scent, bare in mind this is the limited summer scent. When smelling it straight out of the can I picked up a mix of semi sweet pineapple with an overtone of beeswax. It just make me think of a high roof top pool in Las Vegas where a beautiful girl dines her oil and bakes in the Nevada sun. Hold/shine This pomade definitely lives up to the heavy hold standard. I have long hair and work in the nursing feild and this pomade kept my hair in place all day. Not once did I have any hair falling in my face or any fly aways. The pomade did give my my hair some shine but not so much that I noticed. Application/styling Uaing this product on wet hair is not recommended because it dries the pomade seems to slide into patches. I ended up with only having section ls of my hair having some hold and style with the rest looking frizzy and rebellious. However on dry hair it's great, all I had to do was put some on my finger tips, worked it through my hair then used used a fine comb to style and finish. I do alot of French breading as well and this product works wonders with that style as well. Overall I love this pomade, the scent isn't too over powering and it held just like it states. Another this I loved is after washing it out, the pomade seemed to really moisturize my hair. So if you ladies are looking for a little more hold in your hair definitely go out and pick some big slick heavy up and give it a try.

Hello, guys and gals this week I took a look at a standard Orthodox strong hold water based pomade, or so I thought, by @handsomedevilpomade. This California based company is largely inspired by the band “The Smiths” and if definitely shows that it is. So let’s just straight into this review. Presentation This handsome devil pomade comes in a 4oz white plastic jar with a white twist off top. On the lid you will see a devilish rendition of the front man of The Smiths Morrissey along with the name of the pomade Handsome devil around it. On the jar you will see the Handsome devil pomade with the Devils pitch fork logo in black. To the right you will see the ingredients used to make the pomade and to the left you will find social network info and that it’s not tested on animals. Scent The owners of @handsomedevilpomade did say that this is a masculine scent which is quite a vague and widespread term but think of it as a lighter more sweet smelling suavecito and you will get the scent of this pomade. The longevity of the scent was diminished just a little into my work day but once outside I was able to get slight hints of it which was nice. Application/styling I applied this pomade to damp hair, yes I know water based to damp, and it really went into my hair alot easier than applying it to dry hair. Now was dry hard to apply? Nope not at all its just that the pomade applied more evenly with damp hair. Styling was quick and easy and pull at all and I was in and out styling in no time Hold/shine The hold on this pomade was advertised as a strong hold pomade and I would say that it was pretty much on point even the humidity and heat of the Texas heat baring down on my hair. Slight waves and stray hairs were present outdoors but overall it kept it’s shape really well. Just to add this pomade didn’t really hard up but it did have a stiff type of locked in type of fell. The shine was a good medium that lasted all day.

Overall This product did put in work and is definitely a contender to other orthdoxed pomades such as suavecito and layrite. Was it perfect no but I do recommend this pomade if your into orthodox water based pomades and are fans of “The smiths”.

So many promo codes that I have to use a tool to fit them all in one picture. Use promo code "THEPOMADEREV" at these fine pomade site to save the amount listed.

Ever heard of the @thebluebeards from the UK? Well it's a men's Grooming site where they sell men's Grooming products like the pomade I'm looking at today. The pomade I'm looking at is from dreadnought, the same UK based company but labeled as @dreadnoughtshaving here in the states. Now will this shaving company bring out all the promises that it states on their website? Well let's check it out. Presentation Dreadnought comes individually packaged and As far as the product, it comes in a 3.4oz dark blue plastic jar with a silver twist off lid. Cool this about the lid is that has an embossed dreadnought helmet. The logo on the jar is alright with the dreadnought name right in the center and 2 helmets on each side. On the left are ingredients used in the pomade and to the right are instructions and info on the product itself. Scent The scent is the best thing about this pomade, it actually smells like a axe Cologne, think of the suavecito type of fake Cologne scent, something like that. I personally did like it but it didn't last too long once applied. Application/styling I applied this pomade with both dry and damp hair and even though both applied with no tug and pull I did like more with lightly damp hair due to the fact I was able to distribute the pomade more evenly and used less to do so. Styling was easy but it did take me a while to get the style I want because the way the product keeps my hair together when combing. Hold/shine So it's advertised industrial strength hold was way off the mark,Once I walked outside in the the heat and humidity my hair started to wave. Bad thing about that is that when it did harden up, not too much, the waves just locked in and it didn't look well. The over all style just looked loose and messy which I was not fond of at all. The shine was high! That is till it hardened up and lost most of it. It got some back when it softened up in the heat and humidity. Overall As much as I wanted to like this pomade it just fell short of my expectations. The industrial hold was just not there and in my trails I did find that it flaked when I had it applied with dry hair. So it's not worth the $19 price tag at all.

Go follow my YouTube, guys and gals. Trying to build it up like my instagam and who knows maybe I'll announce a giveaway for you guys there soon ;) Search for "THEPOMADEREV" like and follow my channel.

Yo ho ho!“, guys and gals! This week we are back to look at "Blackship, the second unorthodox water based pomade by little Rock, Arkansas pomade company @flagshippomade. Now black ship is like an alternative to flagshippomades” The insubmersible but is it better? Well let’s find that out. Presentation Black Ship comes in a clear 4oz black jar with a black twist off top. The label is made by @star7crtv and really pays homage to the pirate theme, looking like a pirates map. The blackship logo stands out in the center of the jar along with info that it’s a water based and vegan. Ingredients can be found on the left of the jar and a small statement can be found on the right. Scent I am loving the the strong peppermint scent that I get out of the jar and the slight hint of vanilla I got when I already had the pomade applied to my hair. Yes, it is strong in the jar but once applied the scent decreases alot and I was not able to smell it much except for the hints of vanilla when I was down wind. Application/styling The application process could not have been any easier, it felt like putting a medium oil based in my hair, no tug and pull at all ever with multiple applications. The styling was just as easy, and I was able to get a nice side part and some very nice comb lines in just minutes. Hold/shine

I got one of the best holds I gave gotten out of any unorthodox water based pomade u have tried. It’s medium heavy hold just lasted all day with almost no effect from the weather. No it was not perfect I did get some stray hairs but even those stayed in place. The shine lasted all day and provide a great medium shine.

Overall The black ship had raised the bar for me when it comes to unorthodox water based pomade. Everything from the application to the hold was top knotch and I highly recommend you pick up a jar. Use promo code “THEPOMADEREV” at the @flagshippomade etsy for 10%off your entire purchase.
