groom and clean vs. vitalis

have tried neither and i don't think i'm allowed to test them hehe!

let's see my haircut is a side part but a little longer in the back compared to a short back and sides. i have thick dark hair. i'm 27.

i've tried brylcreem and yardley's lavender pomade.

edit: doh! can a mod make it a poll?

The Groom n Clean gives more hold, both leave hair shiny and can be combed through eaisly without messing up the style. They are both inexpensive enough to have on hand. I have mixed them with good results.

Groom and Clean it holds better and smells great!

The Groom and Clean is similar to Brylcreem except not as greasy, IMHO the hold is actually better. I have not tried Vitalis as I have thick hair and I don't see a tonic being able to hold it, but you gotta love that shine. I have heard of gents mixing the two, but I'm not that bold.

I was a huge Vitalis fan. I still like it, but it does have its own scent. Now always the most pleasing one. I also tend to find Vitalis a little greasy at first, and then it dries out. Unfortunately, I think it also dries the hair a little due to the alcohol content.

I tried the Groom and Clean also. I like it better than Vitalis personally. It does have better hold. I just find I have to use at least a quarter size goop of it to get the hair to brush straight back. It's not really greasy though after it brushes through a few times. The scent isn't too bad either....if you like the citrusy Pledge/Endust odor, LOL.

Either one will do you just fine. I'd start with the Groom and Clean first (if you're gonna try both). I think you'll like it better.

I bought some of the yardleys lavender pomade Derek- that stuff smells awesome and really shines!! You owe it to yourself to try some Groom and Clean though

thanks guys! groom and clean it is!

I've used G&C after applying some Vitalis. G&C made the Vitalis unneccessary because it has great hold along with the shine. I really like Vitalis and its old school scent, but I just can't figure out what hair tonic actually is supposed to do. It does kind of tame my hair after shampooing, but as I said G&C is all I really need.
