      Thanks @Matt!! As soon as I said grease I realized the error in my ways as I WAY prefer the water based pomades to the petroleum based ones. I just can't make that jump especially when my hair has any real length to it, which it generally does. However, I do like the term grease so I lump all the pomades into that category, right or wrong…

      I checked out the Shear Revival and put in a order for 3 different poms and a texture spray. Then I checked out O'Douds and grabbed one of theirs, plus that copper comb, that thing looks rad 😃

      Anyway, that should set me up for a little while!

      Reuzel is nice enough for what it is and works well but I am WAY more stoked to check out these Home Brews as you guys call them. I like to level up when I can  😉

        That’s awesome.  What did you get from O’Douds?  I have used their Multi-Purpose Pomade, their Summer Pomade, and the Matte Paste.  The Matte Paste is awesome.  I’m currently using the Multi Purpose that’s infused with CBD oil and has a orange basil scent.  It’s very nice.  The Multi-Purpose, before it was called that, was my first jar of home brew pomade.  They’ve improved it quite a bit since then.

          From O'Douds I went with the Traditional Heavy Pomade
          From Shear Revival I grabbed Gray Ghost, Gel Pomade, Crystal Lake and the texture spray.

          I forgot to mention I have also been trying out Modern Pirate, not blown away but the scents are nice and organic ingredients mostly. Not a huge fan of the washability of it, but that's more my OCD than actual performance I think  😃

              I love the Gray Ghost. They just released a collab with their Canadian retailer of it with a mango coconut based scent. They sold out on their site but the Can retailer may still have some.

              Crystal Lake is one of my all time favorites but I don’t care for the newest scent.  The previous scent was my absolute favorite.

                Is the mango one the toucan trading Collab?  I might have to look into that

                  Correct.  It sounds pretty badass.  I have too much stuff now otherwise I’d consider getting some.

                          No sweat.  If you get it let me know about the smell.  It sounds awesome.  If scents aren’t a big driver for you check out Nostalgic Grooming.  They have some pretty crazy scents like Fruit Loops and Orange Soda that are really cool.

                            Yeah, it was $18 on the SR site.  Canadian markup I guess.

                              For me on the SR site, I woulda nabbed some oil or beard care at the same time and hit the free shipping threshold.

                                The regular Gray Ghost is still very good.  I also love the American Gardens clay.  Very strong hold with a nice matte finish and a clean wash out.

                                  If anyone’s looking for a really good aftershave I highly recommend Madame Scodioli.  They have a bunch of scent profiles.  I’ve used Step Right Up and it’s dope af.  I got an email from them today that they have a new line of beard oils out.  Im currently unbearded but I’m sure it’s amazing.

                                    I've been looking for a killer new beard oil @Matt as I'm working towards being my best bearded self again, may just have to check that out.  If I get some I'll be sure to post about it

                                    The Ad Astra tonic has espresso in the scent, I'm immediately 50% sold  😉

                                      Yeah, don’t hesitate.  If the beard oil is anything like the aftershave it should be killer.

                                        So after reading through I decided to order some gray ghost and northern lights. Should come in the next day or two. I looked at the Canadian toucan limited run stuff but damn they wanted a ton to ship it.

                                        I also grabbed some firsthand clay. That just came today seems really cool! Should get to use some tomorrow

                                            Those of you who wanted that limited run shear removal stuff but shipping was too much…..

                                            I reached out to toucan supply, they added a free shipping option to USA if you spend over 55cad

                                            I’ve got some coming my way[emoji41]
