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!

Aaron Britt of the SFGate and Dwell Magazine just gave Grant's Golden Brand Pomade a great nod: "My best find, however, was not for the face but for the hair: Grant's Golden Brand Pomade has a gentle almond scent, splendid hold and can be worked and reworked over the course of the day. I found it easier to style with my hands than with a comb."

Carter and Bond in London is one of the most unique barber shops we've encountered: "A unique and relaxed old school meets quirky West London emporium for men." Carter and Bond is a place for both the refined gentleman in a finely tailored suit and the big kid who refuses to wear a suit. They offer gents old fashioned hot towel wet shaves and haircuts in the middle of a relaxed, fun shop that sells a treasure trove of mixed goods - comic books and cuff-links, toy robots and watches. They also sell a carefully selected range of grooming products, including Grant's Golden Brand Pomade.
From their Website: Carter and Bond was established in 2002 and is one of the longest established male grooming shops in the UK. The concept remains the same today as when we opened: to offer a very wide range of the finest products available; to constantly be on the look out for new brands; to present our offering in a simple yet stylish website (and mail-order catalogue), and to back this all up with rapid order dispatch and attentive customer service. We are proud to have played a part in bringing about greater awareness for quality male grooming products and following in the wake of businesses like ours, any journalist or editor worth his/her salt will long ago have written about the recent growth in the male grooming market. And every day yet more men begin to appreciate for themselves the benefits of upgrading from the mass-market toiletries to be found at the high street chemist. Where we tread first others usually follow and we know many of our customers appreciate the efforts we go to in being first to market with so many ranges.

Grant's Golden Brand Pomade the premiere water-based pomade made in the good old USA
We're proud to announce that Grant's Golden Brand Pomade is now available in Milwaukee - at gents-only barbershop Stag, to be specific. Opened in November 2010, this "old school barbershop for the modern man" offers precision haircuts and straight razor, hot towel shaves. The atmosphere is a coherent mix of old and new. Alongside espresso machines, a leather couch, and stainless steel accents, you'll also find barn wood shelves and antique barber chairs. But what really adds another dimension of character to the barbershop's style is the tribute to the owner's late father Rick Stern, the man behind the face of the barbershop: the caribou (stag) Rick Stern shot in Toronto over 20 years ago, an antelope from Wyoming that also belonged to him, a chandelier the owner and her mother made from an antler he had in the basement.
Owner Jess Stern (pictured in the barber chair above) is a Milwaukee native and an internationally trained precision mens' barber with over 10 years' experience. She was also a Milwaukee Brewcity Bruiser Rollergirl. We have to admit we're not completely familiar with this role, but it sounds like it was fun times. Jess was more than gracious to tell us a little more about the barbershop:
My dad is the logo as you know. I was going through photos after he passed away. I found the photo that the logo was designed after and thought "when I open a shop, this is my logo." Two months later I found the space. The ironic thing is that I had been looking for a space for years and I stumbled upon one that was once an old barbershop in the 40s. The landlord's father had started the barbershop, and then he took it over after his father passed away. When he retired he leased the space to multiple business owners, none of which were barbers. I am happy to say that I have brought the space back to its roots. My mom, Sandy Stern, and I did a lot of the build out. Although I am the sole owner, I could not have done it without her. She helped me in creating a place that feels like home to not only myself, but to everyone who walks through the door. It's a place I am truly proud of. The vibe is so comfortable that I never feel like I am going to work. My barbers and I make an effort to know everyone's name. Every man is greeted with a smile and a handshake.
And that's the way it should be. So "be a man, go to Stag."

Pomade is for gentlemen who want to keep their hair styled all day long without it drying up.
Our pomade is easy to restyle and is water-based so it will wash out easily in the shower, no more unwanted wax buildup. Use a little or a lot of our pomade to create various styles: slick back, pompadour, distressed mess or the clean cut business man look.
We'd like to offer you a few suggestions to get the most satisfaction out of our premiere water-based pomade.

"make things happen" Grant's Golden Brand Pomade the premiere water-based pomade made in the good old USA
Today we're featuring Stan Soldan, the proprietor of the Pomade Shop. Stan runs his premiere online shop featuring the top pomades of the world from his home offices in Munich, Germany. In our book, the Pomade Shop is one of the top three pomade stores in the world, helping to spread the rich heritage of pomade to the masses. Stan's passion for pomade is deeply rooted in his lifestyle and business. Here are a few questions we asked him recently:
G. Tell us how you got interested in pomade.
Since my childhood in the eighties, I have been fascinated by old movies of the 1940s and 50s which aired on television in the afternoons. I especially loved the brilliant and incredibly well-kept hair of the male actors and singers. Cary Grant, Rock Hudson, Clark Gable, Lex Barker, and of course Elvis Presley were my big role models, and for me the epitome of elegant hairstyles. But actually it was the whole aura of elegance and charisma that came from their glossy hairs which made me want to become like these stars of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. When I flew for the first time to Australia to visit my mother, I found a whole new world. In an old barber shop in Sydney I discovered products saying "Pomade," "Hair Dressing," "Murray's," and " Sweet Georgia Brown." Beautiful tin cans shone at me like the Holy Grail. I was blown away! I had never heard of something like this before in Germany.
G. What gave you the idea to open up the Pomade Shop?
In Fall 2007, I brought an old-school friend, Holger Wilken, a sales professional in the IT industry from Italy, a can of Brylcreem Hair Dressing and told him the ingredients, the application and effect, immense history, and he said "Stan, you must open a shop and share all your knowledge of pomade with others!" I had not thought of a shop at all. That very night I began to explore the idea of an online shop, and six months later the Pomade Shop was live.
G. How is the European market compared to the American market? I noticed the European customers embrace the pomade/grease culture wholeheartedly.
From my perspective, America is THE country, where the pomade culture is still maintained and where most of our brands come from. It is the country where many young barbers keep up the tradition and brew their own pomade, handmade in the traditions of the past. Most Europeans today, who did not grow up with the shining era of pomade, know only of the mass market products like gel, hairspray or wax from the supermarket or a hair dressing salon. But a classic pomade is something very exciting - the glamorous pomade history is coming alive again. Holding the same pomade in your hands that Elvis or Johnny Cash would have used to get their magnificent hairstyle is a big "bang" for you and your hair. Pomade users who are used to the easy handling of gel but also love the flexibility and natural shine of a pomade can be satisfied with a gel-pomade like Grant's. The fact that you cannot get these great products everywhere makes one also feel somewhat special. So my experience is that Europeans value these products of the past and love discovering the fascinating world of pomades.
G. How many countries do you service in the EU? Which countries are your strongest supporters?
Pomade Shop services all European countries. Since our website is in German, and of course also in English, our strongest supporters are in German-speaking countries, like Germany, Austria and Switzerland. But we ship a lot to Great Britain, Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Italy, France and Spain. The biggest barrier are the shipping costs, which vary in Europe, and whether you feel like being super saturated by global mass products. People in eastern European countries still prefer modern products, but still discover that past the mass market products there is a much more fascinating world.
G. Any personal tips on using pomade (water-based and wax)?
The best thing about pomade is that you can, and should, experiment with them - take only a little or a lot, use the pomade on dry hair, use it on wet hair - then you will be surprised by the outcome again and again. And check out their effects after a few minutes and after a few hours. Try using a hairbrush in addition to a comb. Brush or comb your hair only once and leave the hairstyle, or comb it as often as you feel like, and again check out the result. I find that water-based pomades can dry out your hair a bit, so I combine it with a classic soft pomade to add more moisture and shine. If I want more hold, I add a heavy weight pomade. And when I wash it out in the evening or morning, I find that the water-based pomade helps to remove the heavy weight wax from my hair.
