- Ok maniacs this video might be a tough one but hang in there! The truth about pomade from a greaser of 15 years. I have seen way to many debates and arguments about which pomade is best to use.... The answer is no one specific pomade is the best. It's all up to you and what hairstyle you are going for! So sit back and lets take a trip into the wild wacky rockabilly world of pomade and other hair products.

Hipsters seem to be the ones who are super obsessed with what you should use
I just started thinking about using the stuff..heard about it but never really used anything for my hair past shampoo when I take a bath. I usually get a buzz cut when it's time for a hair cut but as I get older..I actually like the fact my hair forms a natural pompadourish shape on it's own..it's done it since I was in my early teens. Take back after my grandpa who had the same thing going on for him when he was younger before he started losing his hair as he got older. Went to the store for groceries the other day and saw all the different ones and though "how the hell do I chose one...? Do I just get the cheapest one for my budget or get one of the pricey ones?"
It would be a dream to be hitting the streets with some cats, none of my friends are into this
Me and my freinds act like grease I act like dallas Winston cool not wanting to do legal stuff. My other friend acts like two bit joking. But my other one is like Johnny cade a nervous reck

Absolute madman..
Nice video dude! Love to hear you telling us about the culture..
Thanks just trying to straighten a few things out ;)
@@krypticart6306 where u been
Haven't seen a new video from you in a while
Are you married? How does the greaser lifestyle effect dating, marriage, and children? Or does marriage tend to end the rebellious spirit and cease the grease?
Shane Hollon I can’t speak for everyone, but my girl loves my style and my attitude
@@hekatesmonster517 Did she meet you as a Greaser or did you start Greasing during?
First Name Last Name I stared greasing while we were dating
The first time I tried to put my hair in a pompadour, I put a *whole* bottle of Vaseline in my hair *and then* put in the pomade.. the Vaseline ended up staying in my hair for weeks lol
lol we have all be there at some point. Live and learn cat.
Lol
Definitely been there
Madman! You seriously need to write a book (or probably a series of books). "The Greaser's Guide to …." I would definitely buy it/them
Tres Flores man OG that was my first pomade next to Murray's but remember the pomade don't make the greaser. The way you live life is what makes the greaser.
I'm a forty seven year old greaser, and I've been saying this for years; so I couldn't agree more. Thanks for putting this out there, brother.
Murray's all the way and thress Flores
2:50 madman probably had a bad day at school 😂 WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE CATS!!😂
Damn Paulie Walnuts, he’s my favorite. 😂 Loved the old barber equipment too.
Man I am digging that intro clip!
Unfortunately you'll find in every subculture people who think they have to tell how you have to dress, to behave or to style inside a subculture. It's like a science to make it 100% "authentic", but they forget, that back in the days people did their own thing with style and dress..unfortunately it seems that this attitude get lost.
Yeah so true dude! It's like they try to make it a science or a math equation lol. I always stuck to tradition and try to uphold what is important about the sub culture. The over all experience was more than enough to get me hooked!
@@krypticart6306 agreed mate. I really like to discover new things every day about style, music and subcultures in general. And imo it's important to take it with a smile ;)
Layrite and hair spray works for my thin and straight hair, although hair dye does effect the properties of it a bit, makes it feel like there’s already something in there.
I love your philosophy About the whole hairstyle dilemma
Totally agree, I started greasing around the same time as you. You're right nobody talked about it all that much. Well mostly because I was the only greaser in the little town where I'm from. But when I did meet another greaser, we never talked about what kind of pomade we used. I used three flowers back then, mainly because that's all that was available at the little general store I used to shop at in my hometown. Now I use Murray's, because well there's no shortage of Walgreens in Albuquerque. Anyways, being a greaser isn't about what kind of pomade someone uses. It's about the lifestyle.
I enjoyed your story about your family history. You come from a family of barbers, I come from a family of mechanics and cowboys. The story of the bet your grandfather won, kinda reminds me of a similar bet my dad won. A guy from out of town needed his tires changed as fast as possible, so he could get back on the road for his business trip. My dad told him he'd have it done in ten minutes. One of my dad's friends made a bet that my dad couldn't do it. Now you're probably thinking ten minutes to change tires, that's nothing. Well sure if you have all the fancy tire machines and shit, which my dad didn't have. He did it all by hand, right there in our little home shop. Which was a simple car port, gravel driveway, a tool shed, an air compressor and a few work benches. Anyways, my dad did it all from taking the tires off the car to balancing them, in ten minutes flat. My dad made twenty bucks, plus the hundred dollars he won from the bet.
Luv the vid. It dont matter what you use. Use what you want it's all relative use the pomade that works for you
we didn’t really speak about pomade only until the water based started coming out. Since before it it was almost the same Dax Murray’s. Distinct memory was only they would ask “ur using flores right” because of the strong smell lol.
Hey Madman, Got an idea for another video. You said one day you ll show us your zippo collection. So still hoping and thx like your videos
Yo mad man do you need to have a pomp to be a greaser? My hair is naturally curly and wavey and no matter what product i use, it never looks right. My hair is more on the James Dean side.
I used Vaseline hair cream from a jar back in 78,loved that stuff,not sure why they discontinued making it
When are you going to release your line of zippo lighters?
lol who said I was?
@@krypticart6306 sorry, RUclips, not facebook
Amazing message at the end, truly a one to live by
Dapper Dan Superior, Oil Based, Water Soluble! Magic!
The only problem I have with pomade is that the stuff stays in your hair, but I NEVER get it back in shape or back to its original firmness the next day... I can't wash it out everyday with shampoo, because this will DESTROY my hair.
Anyone got any advice on that? Please? I am DESPERATE
I know this is an old comment, but more than likely, your product isn't making it down to the roots when ln you put it in. I work mine in really well with my fingers first, then comb it all back to evenly coat, style after that. After about 3 days of buildup it works and looks awesome
Great video! Thanks for informing.
How long of hair do you need to do a pomp like yours? I have short hair but it's not to short
My grandfather told me that when he was a kid, him and his friends stole a pair of manual clippers and gave eachother haircuts, they also used egg whites as pomade
In Winter i mostly just use a mixture of water and sugar in a spray can for the hold, and Morgans classic pomade for the shine
Personally I have preferences of pomade not because of the brand, but because some things just work better with my hair, however I’ll use whatever I could to grease my hair lol
Hey mad man, how long do i need to grow my sides to have them lie flat like yours?
I personally like suavecito, works good, is cheap, and washes out easy.
I beg to differ when you said hair tonic dries out hair. I use them almost everyday and they make my hair look neat and well-kept
I just use the pomade from Wal-Mart
Cool Vid Madman!!! I use alot of prospectors pomade. Smells badass.
Nice little collection of vintage barbering kit from your pap you got there. I have a question straight razors(cutthroat) Vs modern day razors I would like to attempt using old skool razor to shave but I'm afraid of cutting my skin too much.
I use beard balm it's great if you have coars hair and thick hair
Those hand clippers are dope
Is it better to sleep with pomade in your hair or wash it out every night after use?
I met a 90 year old priest who grew up Greaser. He used chicken and melted turkey fat.
Im from hatfield massachusets, its about an hour and a half away from Worcester
I think the most we talked about it was how often you’d wash your hair with Dawn to get all the Murrays our of your hair.
Some of my favorite pomades Classic co, lockharts, Dax
You know what's really sad..... Living in a city that doesn't even have pomade.....no joke.....
Od kud si?

Hey Madman! Im a young greaser, started just a few days ago (ill be 16 in two months) and i have a question. What do i do with acne? Mine is not that horrible but it gets bad sometimes. Should i try to cover it? Leave it alone?
Waffer leave it!
Waffer Eat healthier.
@@jacktheboss1896 i am eating healthy, at least for what my folks can afford. I guess thats why i dont have a frickin volcano on my face
Drink a lot of water, and wash your face twice a day. It helped me when I was younger.
If you're asking if it'll interfere with the style then no😅. I mean We all cant have radiant skin hell I have some acne myself but I still look good af
I'm late again! This was great as always
This exactly what today's people need to hear
hey Madman what was your first car
I personally either use Murray’s and Vaseline, Murray’s and brylcreem, Murray’s and sportin waves, or sportin waves and brylcreem, or sportin waves Vaseline and brylcreem.
Basically what he saying if some of y'all are having difficulty understanding him. You like what YOU like fuck what everyone else says.
Great insight. Personally I use Lockhart’s Goon Grease and it’s always been my go to pomade for a little over 2 years now. 🤘🏽
Solid glad you found what works for you cat rock it!
You don't have to be using pomade to get a greaser look. You can use hair tonic alone and still get a greaser rebellious look with that.
Blue ribbon is The best beer!
Judging by how rare hand clippers are, they may be worth a lot of money.
can you use vasline in your hair instead of pomade
I started with tres flores brillantine later on dax
I used tres Flores brillantine. Never switched. It was the only brand I found in the St. Louis area.
My grandpa used wildroot back in the days
Love the video madman from talking about pomade to giving shit to the neverhasbeens lol and a bit of a life lesson to madman ya wiser beyond your years mate keep at it 👍🏻
Yo madman, could you draw a picture of wolverine and make him a greaser, that'd be awesome i love seein superhero art when their greasers, thanks.
Got to love the hotods and cars shows
What’s ur intro song madman? Sounds so beast
its an old royalty free heavy blues song I found back when I first started the channel.
Kryptic Art oh nice man, great video also. Love ur channel and keep up ur awesome work bro 👍🏻☘️
Madman can you do a how to shampoo your hair video??
"Used on cats" was he a vet as well?
What do you think about the mafia ?
Max Payne lol
You mean La Cosa Nostra, or mexican mafia? The older generation of the La Cosa Nostra, or the mob. Like Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello, Myer Lansky, and more were alright. They were still stone cold murderers, and hardcore gangsters, and hustlers. But they didn't like getting innocent people involved. They kept the violence in shadows, between each other. Truthfully most of them like making money more than the violence, and it's hard to make money when everyone's killing each other. Back then there was a code of silence, no discussing business with outsiders, or near outsiders. The mexican mafia on the other hand are a prison/street gang that are the exact opposite of the mob. Honestly, mob way of life is one of fear, creed, mistrust, and violence. Wiseguys are not good guys, all of them have killed people. Some are not afraid to torture people, if they need to. I know movies like to romantize gangsters, but believe me it's anything but romantic. Stick to being a greaser, trust me you'll live longer.
how can I be a greaser if I'm balding?
Hey cat can you pls tell me if i can wear single colored flannel shirts(for exaple only red flannel)
Sure, why not?
johnny noitel Wear what you want.
@@mr.borken cool thanks
Loved the Sopranos bit!
Burleon I absolutely love that show too. I was glad that cast reunited and celebrated the 20th anniversary.
I use old spice pomade and reuzal
What if your hair is to curly to grease?
Murrays superior
Dax wave and groom
Talkin water based products suavecito firme hold and layrite superhold. They work for me
I live in Worcester county Massachusetts! What a coincidence (not really)
All the arguing over who is better is ego taking control
What about mousse does that count?
@Captain Brandon Horror Lover ok
@Captain Brandon Horror Lover yah nice talking with ya cat
Just get whatever pomade works for you. It’s just simply naive to listen to people judge whatever pomade one is using. Keep on trying different products to see what works for ya. Everyone has different hair textures etc.
It’s square to dictate hair.
See I don't think anyone here has heard of jack the barber. It's pretty good
You guys should just use sportn waves it’s pretty legit
I like Murray's pomade)
A-fuckin-men brother. Ive been gettin tired of hearin the nitpicking
Hipsters are the problem once again. They usually start an almost girly like obsession with brands. Theyre like chicks, fighting about their gucci handbags. Fn dorks.
That’s some hep stuff of your grandfathers you got.
Damn right
black guys used too use it too
Show us your car!
Late upload? No problem.
Hot off the presses lol
The only thing I roast people about is the Axe shit😂 I stick 100% to old companies. The only home brew stuff I used was Goon Grease and I didn’t even like it :/ Royal Crown is good shit. It’s just millennials and gen-x’s ruining shit for everybody again but the culture will never die
back in the day, the real greasers who're tres Flores.
Awsome
The pomade doesnt make the man
But it makes the hair
You kinda look like ricky from trailor park boys
Great video personally i use tenax a italian pomade and pento is a kind of brylcreem but is a french stuff stay rock !
hey sell me those clippers
D Huckaby don’t listen to my dad, he’s bs. It’s hard to live with ‘cause of the smell.
Forgot dapper Dan🤷
And Fop
It's the same for every thing to be fair I get told I am not a punk rock because I don't wear punk clothing I am just a plain person when it comes to clothes and I still see the same in punk psychobilly or what ever music or what ever your in my opinion it's just a bunch of sheep trying to follow the crowd
tag ed I’ve been there when I was younger too.
Didn’t dress skater enough for the skaters and didn’t dress punk enough for the punks.
I always dressed more grungy.
I told them punk is not just how you dress.
It’s a lifestyle so it’s more so how you speak and act etc
Punk is about doing your own thing and not caring.
@@cloud_monkey422 I agree with you 100 precent there mate I personally accept people who ever they are it's a shame that so many negative things in this world I try and be open minded if I can and thank you for the response huge respect
tag ed what you just said reminds me of two quotes by Kurt Cobain that I live by still to this day.
“Pretending to be someone else is a waste of the person you are”
And
“I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not”
Do you own a Harley Davidson motorcycle, Madman?
What greaser is without a Harley
Lol I think I'm the first greaser my town has ever had, there's no trace of 50s anything, the only thing that close is a dinner dedicated to Betty Boop
This was really cute
