18.21 Man Made Paste

Based on 5 reviews
As a BBB (Big, Bald, Bearded) man I'm no stranger to having to fight women off with a stick. But with this paste and it's amazing tobacco fragrance, I stand no chance at avoiding the droves of women seeking my attention. It has great hold, and lasts all day. The finish is smooth despite the strong hold, and the fragrance lasts all day without being overwhelming. Great product, and I'm sure it would work fine on your head too if you are one of those. Warning! Prepare yourself with a large stick to fight off the crowds if you use this fine product!
Duke Cannon Supply Co News Anchor Fiber Pomade

Based on 17 reviews
I ordered this due to the description on the website, but I certainly did not it expect to exceed my exactions by much due to all of the products I have used in the past. I love how just a small dab of this creme works well throughout my head of hair. The result is not a "paste head", but very natural but great looking managed hair. My wife did not know I was using it, but on the first day even commented on how great my haircut looked. My haircut was several days prior. Love those results! It is definitely worth a try if you are on the fence about ordering it.
Every Man Jack Clay Styling Paste

Based on 43 reviews
In general, Fiber Cream is the right product for my hair texture and length and I have tried them all. The problem with most other brands is either a) an overpowering fragrance or b) my hair seems to build up a resistance to the other brands so that after a few months of use I'm not getting the volume, texture, or ability to restyle my hair on the go - it just ends up too heavy and flat, then I have to switch again. Every Man Jack Fiber Cream goes on easily and gives me the look that I love, and it washes out completely so I'm always getting out of the shower with fresh clean hair that is ready to style again, and easy to restyle as needed without ever looking greasy or heavy.
Sebastian Dark Oil

Based on 68 reviews
My hair stylist started using this on my hair and just from the smell alone I was hooked. Then I saw how it really smoothed my hair and controlled frizz. I have long, thick, coarse hair and not many hair products penetrate my hair like the dark oil does!! I used it while in Nashville in the summer and my hair was smooth all day. I was shocked! I use it on wet hair pre-style and also as a finisher with the silkening mist from Sebastian. If you have thick hair that frizzes easily, RUN and get this. You won't regret it.
Blind Barber 30 Proof Light Hold Styling Cream

Based on 27 reviews
Blind Barber products are for the discerning gentleman. I use the Tea and Lemongrass Shampoo and Conditioner, the 30 Proof Styling Cream , and the 90 Proof Pomade. Liked the products so much that I purchased the Watermint Gin Shave Cream and Face Moisturizer. I have never had a better shave, and my stylist says she's noticed a remarkable difference in my hair. I will not use anything else as long as Blind Barber continues to be available! Don't over think it, and don't let a little extra dough stand between you and your personal best!
Verb Forming Fiber

Based on 21 reviews
My boyfriend uses this, and it works so well!! It keeps his har soft, but holds well with no heavy residue! No harsh scents, just nice and clean!!! When it washes out, the hair still feels soft and healthy, not greasy with residue like every other product out there. Truly a wrld class company, I have not found a company I have loved enough to only use their products, but since we have found VERB that has changed. We are both in love with all VERB products and the forming fiber is no exception! If you buy this you will throw away everything else you own.
American Crew Cream Pomade

Based on 5 reviews
Apply to damp/towel dried hair for best results and finish using a little more. Scoops out perfectly fine. Breaks down/Emulsifies great, however it does leave a sticky residue on your hands. The smell is a bit funky, but definitely not the worst. I would use this in combination with a matte product(as a finishing product) because the shine can look a bit greasy at times. Do keep in mind it is a low hold product, so I wouldn't recommend if you have medium length/long hair or if you're expecting your hair to maintain all day. I say the smell was the reason for the 4 Stars overall.
Verb Sculpting Clay

Based on 15 reviews
I'm a fashionable silver haired person and I have a fantastic hairstyle that involves a dramatic curving wave shaped bang. It's my signature look and I feel it is quite attractive. After years of trying all sorts of hair product to hold the dramatic wave in place, I came across VERB sculpting clay at a very sophisticated salon. It has all the qualities I've been looking for. The consistency, holding power, easy-of-use, very little smell, and now with VERB's excellent website I can alway get more. As long as I still have hair I'll be using VERB Sculpting Clay to make myself unforgettable.
Duke Cannon Supply Co Hurricane Hold News Anchor Pomade

Based on 48 reviews
I rock a combover with thickish Italian hair and have to take a weird fitting hat on and off throughout the day. One dime blob keeps my hair predominantly in place most of the day, the best of the matte pomades I've tried. On weekends, without the hat, it keeps everything in place all day. It's pretty easy to comb through if your hair is damp but can get a little tough on dry hair. Some pomades slick your hair down but this one does give dry hair some volume. I was slightly disappointed that it doesn't smell like the blue pomade but for me the hold is worth it and I'll probably keep buying.
Duke Cannon Supply Co News Anchor Pomade

Based on 29 reviews
An army of one, now soldiering on in the service industry, the last great job destroyed by Covid . . . nevertheless, I still need better-than-average hair. I've used 'product' for decades, but this new school 'tip to the old' pomade is where it's at. I let the News Anchor stuff provide the bulk, then finish with a little Hurricane Hold for the wisps. Working at a resort just a few hundred yards from the mighty Pacific, I need a firm hold. Real weather out there, every day. I also like to think I'm bossing reality like Christopher Lee, with a great slick and serious demeanor going on. As long as I generally keep my mouth shut, the ladies notice, and love the smell. Mission accomplished.
