CAPTAIN FAWCETT Moustache Wax 0.5oz (0.5oz, Barberism)

Good hold not too stiff

It arrived a day late, I didn't realize it was coming all the way from the UK, so a day late is ok with me. I've had the jar for a day now and I'm already very happy. The hold is very good and the fragrance, while not overpowering, is definitely and clearly sandalwood. I happen to think that's great. Love the text on the jar "tested on humans," "keeping a stiff upper lip, regardless," "be a good chap, the dear planet requires our help, cap and jar should be recycled." I'd like it for that alone, but I love it most for the fragrance. It's quite stiff to get out of the jar and you'll need a comb to apply it properly, but that's the point, to have an easily groomable upper lip.

This wax smells wonderful, has a neutral taste, and works exactly as you want it to! I had previously been using a generic wax from the grocery store that was very greasy, and then tried Firehouse Tacky, which was way to waxy. Captain Fawcetts worked perfectly for my mustache in Seattle. However I visited the country for spring break and had to use the Firehouse, I think which wax works for you depends just as much on climate as it does your personal hair type. My beard is quite soft naturally so I don't need anything waxy and the greasier stuff causes me to break out.

This wax has a pleasant smell and is quite easy to apply. Scrape a little out with the back of your thumbnail, and it softens very quickly when you rub it between your fingers. It doesn't have a massive amount of hold like Firehouse Tacky does, but it is substantially easier to work with than that product and doesn't ever cause clumping. I don't think you'll be disappointed.Only gave it 4 stars because the description very clearly states it is 16ml, but it is only 15ml. What you receive is a plastic bag that says 16ml on it, and inside the bag the bottle that is both labeled from the factory as 15ml and also has a sticker on the bottom that says 15ml.

Title says it all. It’s only .5 oz. I saw that thought I would try it anyway. But pretty much like all the rest of them on the market. Like the scent though.

While the scent is very nice, that’s where it stays at. Performance is poor. It’s easy to put on, however does not hold whatsoever. Just left me with grease and no hold.

I very rarely review any of my purchases, but this one warrants it. This wax is fantastic!I’ve tried several other waxes, very highly rated ones too, and they were nowhere near as good as this stuff. I’ve tried for months to tame my mustache hair. They tell you if you just keep pushing it, it will become trained. This was not the case for mine. Months of “training” and no success. So I then moved to trying wax. Most of them failed very quickly. Some might have held an hour or so.This stuff though, holds all day and it’s amazing!It’s a much stiffer wax and yes, it has a higher price tag, but it’s well worth it. I will absolutely be purchasing this again.Absolutely amazing!

Works well without being too stiff.
