"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there." -marley

weekend dream time

How'd you like to walk into a barber shop and have 90s supermodel Cindy Crawford waiting to be your barber while K.D. Lang jams some music for you? A man can dream.

thank you Isaac

We received a kind letter from one of our loyal customers Isaac. He reached out to us to share his recent experience with our pomades. He posted this thread yesterday on Badger & Blade: "I just wanted to start off by saying im in NO WAY affiliated with Grant's. I just wanted to take a pictures of all my current pomades. There are water based and petroleum based pomades. As you can see in the pic, I have taken an extreme liking to the Grant's and bought about eight tins of the stuff.... The Grants is almost waxlike in its setup for combing. it doesnt "wet" the hair or curl it, and actually sets up nicely.... I can recomb my hair at any time and have the product set it self up again. It leaves the hair looking wet/slick, but not as much as petroleum pomades. Now it does come in two varieties, putty and regular. The putty is a limited edition extra hold for the summer heat. I dont find it to be that binding, and actually have 6 tins of this compared to the two of the regular. Scent is a nice sweet almond."

Thank you Isaac! Grant's Golden Brand Pomade the premiere water-based pomade made in the good old USA

Finer Cut Review

Check out this review of our limited edition putty pomade from the fine folks at Finer Cut:

If there’s one hair product at FinerCut that most of our staff couldn’t live without, it would be a tin of Grant’s Golden Brand Pomade. So understandably we were excited to see that they were doing a limited, one run production of their new designed-for-summer ‘Putty’ pomade. Formulated to be slightly thicker and more heat-resistant, this pomade will keep your style in shape in even the most oppressing summer heat. Best of all? It’s water soluble, so you get all the hold you need, without having that gunky build-up over time.

Thanks guys for the support!

the Rebel Rouser

We recently had some great coverage from The Rebel Rouser. For those who don't know the R.R. is an excellent blog that features the latest & the legendary pomades along with other greasy culture lifestyle interests. They posted some kind words for our brand:

BIG thanks to the kind folks at Grant’s Golden Brand! You folks gave me amazing customer service, over a year ago, and have not let up! Something a lot of people take for granted, but not I! “Style Is Everything,” may need  to be changed to “Customer Service Is Everything!” Well, that doesn’t sound as cool, does it? They’ve worked tirelessly, to give people what they wanted. By listening to their customers, they’ve developed a new product to offer stronger hold for both men and women. The bi-product of the customer feedback and actually giving a damn, is none other than their limited edition Putty Pomade.

Thanks to The Mighty Rebel Rouser, keep up the great work.

Important - Watch This: Inside Job

We've recommended movies from time to time here, like Serpico and Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense. All good films we'd watch over and over again. But probably the most important film we've watched recently is Inside Job, a documentary film about the financial crisis of 2007-2010. Who cares that it won the Academy Award last year, what's important is that this film exposes the crap that took place over time to get us to where we are today. It wasn't one or two decisions, but a process of deep-rooted and systematic corruption by the financial services industry and our government that's supposed to be protecting us.

I don't know about you, but this recession really F'd up a lot of people - our family, friends, and small business owners like us. Most of us are still struggling hard. But the people who did this to us are all doing just fine. They made their mega millions. Some got promoted. No one went to jail.

Why should you care about credit rating agencies, scheisty college professors, and what the hell derivaties are? Because they're all in on this mess, along with both democrats and republicans. The story is told well, at a good pace, and you're given the facts. We were pissed watching this film, but you have to watch it. Now. It's available on Netflix. Then go tell everyone else you know to watch it.
