Bought two of those Standard Issue and i regret it after i tried to use it for just more then a month. The smell is terrible smells like something from a factory, some sort of chemical... No matter what amount of it i'll use on my hair it just doesn't matter, styling is very difficult and it won't wash out from your hand or your head... Adding water won't do anything it really repels water and will clump together however the hold is very good so good you'll have problems styling your hair... Won't be buying it again i'll just stick back too blind barber hair pomade
Albert.AHi Albert, Sorry you don't like the scent. We try to make it clear- Tonka and Citrus. Tonka is a rich, nutty, almost vanilla scent, that we pair with Blood Orange. Both are pure, 100% cold pressed essential oil, we find it to be very much like a Creamcicle. As far as the factory idea... in short, we dont really know what that means (?) Our products are all handmade right here in Brooklyn NY. The problems youve had sound really frustrating, and we are sorry your experience has been like that. Your idea of "no matter what amount I use.." How much are you using? A small amount to start, say one healthy fingertips worth, is what we recomend! The issue of the product being tacky or too strong of a hold is the goal with a paste, sorry if that wasnt clear. Please reach out to me directly if you'd like at zachary@empireapothecary.com Our friends at Blind Barber make a great gel, and if the nature of our all natural product made of real beeswax is too tacky, then maybe youre just a gel guy!
