Hello,
Looking for some wisdom:
I am looking for a water based(or washes out easily), light hold pomade with a little bit of shine and a non over the top smell. If things do have a scent I am into classic British/Italian barbershop scent type shaving products. Anything from ABC smells great to me and I like Almond, Coconut and other non perfumy smells.
I am currently finishing off two different ones:
1) Shiners Gold - smells ok (pina colada-ish)but is too heavy for me.
2) Layrite: Natural Matte Cream - About the right amount of hold but no shine and something about the smell just makes me avoid using it. I may bin this one as the scent thing is just over the top.
In the past I have also used Bumble & Bumble sumotech which seemed about perfect performance wise but I remember it being expensive $32 CAD for 42grams ($25 US for 1.5 oz) and I don’t remember it having a remarkable smell (which is ok).
Doing a bit of quick online shopping I found the following but am not sure if any of them are worthwhile and no idea what they smelled like.
Baxter : Cream Pomade
Diamond Barber : Remedy Wax
Mess of Blues : Medium Hold Cream Pomade
Are any of these worthwhile? What can you recommend?
