Review (5/5): Tried a bunch and this one is the winner!
I love this stuff! And I have tried a bunch of different products searching for the right product for my hair and hairstyle. I have thick, relatively straight hair and a gentleman's cut combed to the side. I have tried a number of different products trying to find the right one like I said and this one is the winner. It provides great hold and manageability while not leaving my hair super greasy. Best of all, it washes out easily. Here's a recap of the other products I have tried and why this one is better:
American Crew Pomade:
- not enough hold for my hair
American Crew Fiber
- better hold than Pomade but still kind of weak
- doesn't wash out easily
- greasy hair
American Crew Grooming crew
- doesn't wash out easily at all. Had to wash my hair twice to get it out
- very greasy in hair
Axe Clean Cut
- not enough hold
Big Sexy Hair Gel (the blue stuff)
- super stiff hair
- hard to style with longer hair
That's my list so far and shiner gold beats them in every respect. Great hold. Doesn't leave my hair greasy. A little crispy but not helmet head crispy. I also like the way it smells. I can also appreciate the fact that it's not overly expensive. I think its a great deal and a great product
