I finally discovered Brylcreem - Page 1

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I finally discovered Brylcreem (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 7/24/2014 7:04:32 PM EDT

I'm 42 years old and finally discovered a product that has been around for almost 90 years. This stuff works wonderful I just never thought to use it, it was some greasy thing old men used. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I have really thick hair and three bad cowlicks on the top of my head. I either have to wear my hair super short or longer and wear gel so it will lay down. Either way without something to weigh my hair down a bit it's all over the place. I decided to give brylcreem a try. It's light, doesn't leave any residue when you run your hands through it and your hair stays perfect all day.

If you have to wear something in your hair I suggest you give it a try. Our grandfathers had it right.

Berylcreem and silvikrim shampoo together must be like wearing a three wolf shirt.

BTW my hair is incredibly soft now.

I guess that makes m a "Dapper Dan" man.

I like the smell of my hair treatment. The pleasing odor is half the point.

On an unrelated note, I'm happy to see the powder puff afro making a comeback on younger black women. I always found that look kinda sexy.

I used that stuff when I was a kid in the 60's.
Now I use fruit of the earth vitamin E to keep down the unruly parts of my mop. Not greasy and works, unlike brylcreem..which does work and is greasy..

Vitalis is what you seek.

It just isn't worth the effort anymore.

I use this. It's expensive as hell but you don't need a lot so it lasts for several months:

http://www.amazon.com/American-Crew-Fiber/dp/B0008IV7BU/

This stuff is supposed to be pretty good too:
http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Mitchell-Tree-Shaping-Cream/dp/B00AONXUIW/

Loreal used to make a product called Crystal Wax that was amazing but they took it off the market for some reason and you can't find it anymore. It was cheap though ($5 a puck).

This shit will make you go bald too, and it's probably cheaper.

That and Dixie Peach Pomade.

A piece of that about half the size of a pea and you can rest a concrete block on a flat top.

120 miles per hour in a '57 Chevy convertible with the top down and not a hair out of place!

I sort of alternate between Brylcreem and Groom & Clean. G&C is less greasy, but Brylcreem seems to look better. Both are dirt cheap for how long a tube lasts.

Posted: 7/25/2014 6:15:49 AM EDT

Murrays ruined my pillows for years on end.

I'm a reformed Groom & Clean guy these days.

Mom's pop had a full head of hair when he passed away at 92. Most likely I'll need to buy a couple cases of G&C to last me the rest of my years.

Depending on where you are in the country, you might need to find a store in an "ethnically diverse" area.

Target is a sure bet though.

cheers,

They'll hold 8 inch liberty spikes up, but goddamn you about have to boil your head afterwards.

Ha!
I still remember probably fifty years ago early in the morning when my dad came out of the bathroom gagging after he accidentally grabbed the wrong tube and started brushing his teeth with Brylcreem!
