I picked up some Brylcreem (US version) at Walgreen's and really like it! It's definitely nice for when I do a more casual pomp that is a bit messier and more "piecie," if you will. Can you tell me more specifically what you like about the Far East version vs. the US Brylcreem??

I like having the Brylcreem around too because it is SO DIRT CHEAP--I can get it at Dollar General up the street, and since I tend to go through the Layrite rather quickly it helps break up having to make that purchase as often. The Layrite is only $15, plus $3 shipping, which is pretty damn cheap, especially compared to some of the salon B.S. that is sold for $40 a tub, but a single tub of Layrite only lasts me 2-3 mos. give or take...

I tried some Barbasol shaving cream, and liked it fine--it essentially left my hair feeling very much like the US Brylcreem does! So, I prefer just using the BC since it lasts longer in my hair vs. the shaving cream...
