    You guys really wanted this one!
    Thank you for your continued support on here. I'm feeling in a really good 'RUclips zone' and it really is because of you guys.
    (I never do sentimental, but you deserve it 💙)

    If you guys want the hold of pink but hate how hard it is to wash out you can apply a TINY bit of reuzel red first (water based) then use the pink (grease based). The water red will bond to your hair and the pink will bond to the red. So red washes out and takes pink with it.

    • @TheAboriginal1
      @TheAboriginal1 Год назад +2

      Thanks great tip! I've been using red for years and just started to try the pink - love the texture but it literally does not wash out so I'll try this method.

      Can u do blue and pink?

    • @clintmurdock119
      @clintmurdock119 Год назад +1

      @@arthurconde6945 I dont see why not, blue is also water soluble.
      Personally, since I made the original comment 3 years ago, Ive moved on to just using the Reuzel Tonic + Pink.
      While my hair is still damp I rub the tonic thoroughly through all my hair. Then I blow dry while brushing. You can roll the brush so your hair winds around it and lifts. Basically start with the brush facing you and brush backwards 1 or 2 inches then roll the brush so it faces the mirror and lift straight up vertically. Gives you great volume and lift that wont buckle under the weight of pomade.
      When you're all done blowdrying you have the volume and direction you want. Just rub the pink in your hands real good to heat it up a bit and work it though all your hair. The tonic and brush/blow do all the work so you only need like a nickle sized amount of pink to get the finishing shape(and sheen) you want.

    The three "official" scents for Goon Grease are actually cinnamon sandalwood, citrus cologne and lemon which is packaged differently with the mascot on the tin. The tobacco vanille scent is a weekly custom scent run that the folks at Lockhart's do. It changes every week

  • @steeltoothcombs
    @steeltoothcombs 6 лет назад +4

    Oil based pomades tend to be tough to work with if you have a plastic comb. In this video I believe it's a Kent acetate based comb which is great for an oil based pomade, but nothing will beat a steel comb and oil based pomade.

  • @Texascleatcollector
    @Texascleatcollector 7 лет назад +3

    Side note, when I met the owners of Reuzel, the tins are designed that way strictly because it looks vintage & can get beaten up, just like a greaser would have had in the 40's & 50's.
    Also I was wondering if you could review their shampoo system for shampooing out the Reuzel Pink (Oil based & the Schorem owners personal favorite pomade). They say apply 'Daily Conditioner' to soften product. Use 'Scrub Shampoo' then finish with 'Daily Shampoo'. I think it would do great on this channel to really evaluate that system
    Keep up the great work Robin! & hello from Texas!

    • @ManForHimself

  • @manarajaei7236
    @manarajaei7236 7 лет назад +3

    You should've put reuzel heavy up against lockharts heavy. Goon grease is more of a firm hold with high shine where as the heavy is heavy hold with a low shine, much like reuzel heavy

    • @ManForHimself

    Hi robin, I honestly could not believe my eyes when I went on RUclips after getting back from the gym and sore this video on my feed. Been a subscriber for a while and have been using pomade for the last few months. My first pomade was reuzel pink, although my tin is about empty. So I was on the hunt for a new pomade to add to my collection. I had stumbled across lockharts goon grease. this video review has helped me so much. Thank you.

    • @ManForHimself

    Reuzel Pink holds better than GG but the scent is damn headache-inducing and its not just me, but also several people I know have complained about it. Too sweet, not good for hot country. I choose GG over Reuzel anytime of the day.

    @lanceseaman88 7 лет назад +2

    lol and I was thinking "he's giving the points that don't matter to Goony and the important ones to Ruezel" and of course great minds thinking alike as they do, you said pretty much said just that at the end lol very good! p.s. not that packaging and scent don't matter. but agree with what another person said washability, styling, ease of application should be worth 2 pts and packaging, price, scent should be worth 1pt. No matter the battle this would work cause, it's common sense to think some things are more important. that way something a cheap pretty package won't ever beat a superior product. #teamlockhart

    • @ManForHimself
      @ManForHimself  7 лет назад

    Hey Robin! To pronounce Reuzel properly, the "eu"sound is like the the "i" in "sir", but still slightly different. This is the closest I can get with only written text. You could use google translate and listen to "Reuze"l. It sounds exactly how you should pronounce it. ;)
    Anyway, nice vid as always!

    It's not fair to give one point to smell same as one point for actual purpose of pomade. You've got to make it more basketball rule, styling should be three pointer ;) also it really matter much how product acts few hours later. Some dry out your hair and some make it oily and give totally different look which is good to know. If you get time to wait for products to dry out try it.

    From someone who has used both can I just say this review is just one persons opinion. I've used numerous pomades including reuzel green and reuzel pink and lockharts goon grease is way better then both of them. Please don't take my word for it. Try them for yourself and you'll never use reuzel again.

    Robin, do you think the Nixon Scalp Treatment would work by itself? I'm really turned off by the sulphates in the shampoo

      Not sure it would. I love Nioxin as the 3 part.

    What pomade would recommend for guys with thin hair?

      Honestly depends what you are going for if you want slickness nice sidepart sidepart pomp or slick back reuzel green is excellent. If you want a style with volume to hold up the thin hair with brute force the reuzel pink will do the job perfectly I myself have thin hair so I feel the struggle. But I find with thin hair oil based pomades hold the hair together much nicer than waterbased pomades hope that helps
