High Life Pomade: High Quality Hair Dressing

It's coconut scented, and holds really well, and doesn't dry out and flake. You just get a little on your finger, rub it between your pointer finger and thumb to warm it up, and work it into your mo. It takes a little trial and error to totally figure it out, but once you get it, you'll look like a total badass.

check out Quality Moustache Wax, Firehouse Moustache Wax works great and has a good scent.

I've been using Hndlebars recently and Oregon Wild Hair successfully in the past. I hear Firehouse is good too. I've also tried Clubmans and Lucky Tiger and cannot recommend them at all.

Warm your wax first. Use your thumb nail to scrape some out and spread that between your thumb and forefinger. Apply to the centre of your mustache on both sides and comb through. Shape gently coaxing the shape into something neat. Avoid a heavy hand in shaping. Let the first application set for about fifteen minutes or so and apply another layer.

I think you saw my Mo before I shaved half of it off last November. I bounced between Oregon Wild Hair, Firehouse and Cedar Hill Farm during the year and depending on what you want to do each is great.

Oregon is a great wax for general shaping and hold. When I wanted to keep it out of the way for general use this was my go to wax.
I only had the dark blend from Firehouse which is a stiffer wax. This stuff was great for shaping into stiff forms and doing silly things with, but I had a problem getting it to blend in well on an average day. I'm sure the light is far more similar to OWH.
The one I liked most was Cedar Hill though. For 10 bucks shipped on ebay (from them) I got a tin and a chapstick tube of their soft and stiff shipped. An incredible deal. The soft is a bit lighter than OWH and worked like a charm for keeping a bushy look to the mosutache while keeping it out of my mouth while I ate. The stiff was a bit harder than Firehouse's dark (though suffering from the same issues that did) and when I wanted to put my end tips pointing directly up I just used a hair dryer to soak it in nice and thick and set my handlebar ends whatever way I wanted and forgot about them.

Just chopped off my handlebar this weekend. Oregon Wild Hair is good, as is Fire House Wacky Tacky. If you want to go cheap and locally available Murrays Superior Pomade or DAX High and Tight work well too (although these two are pomades as opposed to purpose built moustache waxes.

I myself have a fairly old fashioned styled handlebar mustache with a chin puff and i use Beauty and the Bees Wax, its soft and gives good hold with out making my stache look crusty or feel like plastic

What xman said. I use the Oregon Wild Hair although I only use 1 application. I've also found (actually my sister found for me) a new wax made here in PDX Mans Face Stuff Handmade Moustache Wax Portland by MansFaceStuff
Let me check when I get home. I might have one travel tube of the OWH left. If so I'll mail it to you no charge so that you can try it out. Unlike a lot of them it actually does have wax in it so you have to use shampoo to get it out but the stuff works great.

When I had my handlebar I used plain beeswax that I picked up at the local organic food store. It was flexible but held it's shape well.

I used to use Pinaud mustache wax years ago. Before I got into straight razor shaving and shaved it off I had a mustache for decades. I only used wax on it when I had a Tombstone type handlebar for a brief period in my youth. Had a little mustache comb too. If you ever watch David Suchet as Poirot you'll see him waxing and combing his mustache on some episodes. That is the way to do it.

I use to use Pinaud/Clubman. It flakes pretty badly for me. When I grew my handlebar back, I was looking for something different. I searched around and came to try Firehouse Moustache Wax. The tin is easy to carry in your pocket for touchups - although they are hardly necessary if properly applied in the morning. I often wake up then next day with my handlebar still looking good. I have really REALLY dark brown (bordering on black) facial hair, and I use their "dark." Curious to try the wacky tacky too. Great hold. Great scent. That's about all I can say.
