Review (5/5): Great choice! Great smell, Great shine, Great hold.
I love my Shiner. It's got a good smell....what is it pina-colota? Whatever it is, it's like a tropical coconut citrus smell. The water soluble formula is right up there with the rest of them. Don't waste your time with those wax or petroleum based pomades. I've heard some people gripe about the fact that the water based pomades "aren't natural" and can "damage your hair/scalp". I've never experienced any of that from Shiner Gold or any of the others. Just because you can't pronounce some of the ingredients in the water based formulas doesn't mean they're bad or unhealthy. If you have problems, I just suggest you wash your hair more often. ;) My only complaint is that the price is a little higher than what seems necessary when compared to other brands with the same ingredients/quality.
