    I once did a google search on top pomades for 2017 & 2018 and most of those lists had American Crew Pomade on it! I left those websites immediately not even thinking about looking at the other pomades on those lists knowing how much of a sham that website is.

    13:00 I sorta scrubbed through this video to see if you kept "tweaking" and eventually you stopped. Then I rolled over to about 5 minutes after your last combing and I notice at this point you have a stranded section coming loose. So, yeah. It seems like the wheels are already starting to fall off. I would imagine, once you start actually walking around and doing stuff, the rest of the wheels would subsequently hit the deck. Thanks for the review. I see this stuff everywhere.

      In Europe they sell they products around 23€, it's ridiculous if you think that a pomade from Reuzel is around 18€.
      American crew would be an option if the price was right, and I mean cheap, because the quality is ridiculous cheaper than the rest of companies out there.

    I used to buy this product back in 2000. It was an ok product then. It worked well for a shorter style pomp. Over the years, it has become substantially more expensive and yes, WAY more crapy. Personally speaking, if you want an affordable pomade that has all of the qualities that American Crap, I mean American Crew has, pick up Axe purple pomade. Keep up the great work. I like your videos and feel that you have a good grasp on what works for 50s style hair.

    Crew products are ok. It was developed by a barber at a time when these products were not easy to find. They work for what I need behind the chair. If you're looking for a more old school feel, the Grooming Cream and Fiber Cream or Fiber may be better suited. You also stated that you needed a haircut, so that will factor into performance as well. Now there are all sorts of pomade product available it seems. My current favorite for an old school feel and performance is Prospectors "Crude oil" pomade. If you're looking for value, they sell a massive 15 oz. tin of pomade! This stuff reminds me of Seventeen Brilliantine, but has a modern fragrance.

    @jasonpalacio2115 3 роки тому +3

    Idk what you're talking about. I've used this for years and it's the best one of tried. Holds just enough to keep my hair styled, but doesn't harden or cake up. You can still run your fingers through your hair without feeling like you need to wash grease off afterwards. I like the high shine, and it smells clean. Not to mention, if you shop around online, you can get a 3oz can for less than $10. Great value imo.
    I keep my hair pretty short, and it's naturally very thick, so maybe it's just not meant for longer styles that need to be "sculpted", e.g., a pompadour or something like that, or for thin or fine hair.
    So anyway, I totally disagree with this review.

It occurred to me when you slicked your hair back and said it looked “decent” that it is really hard for us on this side of the screen to tell. Your hair kind of all blends in and doesn’t show much definition which in turn makes every pomade seem like they style/perform kind of similarly in the slick back test. Love the new series, man!

    I don't agree with anything you said. I does what it was meant to do. If you were searching for other features, maybe you picked up the wrong product. Apart from that, you may also be losing hair PROBABLY also due to using too much product, not going natural and brushing your hair a lot and so aggressively. So once again, you are your real enemy, not the products. P.s. for the benefit of readers: try using water on your hands after picking it up with your fingers, then rub your wet hands with product, and finally style, it spreads much more smoothly and easily.

Giving creams and super lights a slight more hold and the smell is light enough it doesn’t over power what ever pomade I have in. But stand alone it does alright.
