A fairly basic 'stache wax with good hold and tackiness
I'm the proud owner of a rather glorious handlebar moustache (though I say so myself). So when a 'stache wax or grooming product comes available on Vine I'll usually request it if it's anything in the neighborhood of what I usually like.<br /><br />I like firm or strong hold waxes with significant tackiness. I won't even consider a wax unless it either states a strong hold or a tacky hold or both. As a reference my other favorite common varieties of moustache wax include (in order of preference descending):<br />Firehouse Moustache Wax - Tacky (Wacky Tacky)<br />The Vintage Grooming Company - Death Grip<br />Can You Handlebar - Primary<br /><br />All of these are either exceptionally tacky or very strong in hold or both. I have tried many other waxes by various brands over the last several years but the ones above are my favorites and the ones that I feel are most worth mentioning in comparison to this product.<br /><br />I would rate this wax as slightly less tacky than the Firehouse Moustache wax Tacky and slightly less stiffness than the Can You Handlebar Primary wax. Death Grip has it's own unique and weird properties (and I don't love the way it smells) so it is hard to direct compare :-)<br /><br />As far as my general ranking I'd put this solidly in the top 5 waxes I've ever tried though, probably just under the three above and maaaybe 5th place after maybe Fisticuffs Strong Hold (which also has some pine resin for stickiness).<br /><br />Unscented is good! Nothing worse than a cloying scent right up under your nose holes all day long!<br /><br />Anyway, it has a strong hold for shaping if you like a strong curl as I do, combined with a tacky hold if you get a lot of stray and fly away hairs as I do. While my "go to" product is still Firehouse Tacky, and this has not replaced that, this is a worthy offering. The tree embossment on the wax is cute and I kinda dig that they give you the recipe.<br /><br />The price point at the time of this writing is very fair. If you're in need of a good strong hold tacky wax I'd say give this product a shot!
