As you can see from my first post my natural moustache is very wayward. Bristly brushes popping out all over the shop. For fine sculpting and shaping, a wax is very much needed.
The first moustache wax I ever used was Clubman. It's the most easily bought on Amazon and available at Trumpers, although at £9 it's quite expensive there. No cheapskates at Trumpers please.
It comes in a little squeezy tube and includes a tiny comb/brush tool. I find the tube can get a little messy and the lid is far too small and easily lost. The tiny comb/brush is useful but more effective for lady eyebrows than an intimidating man moustache. Also the pointy end means that reaching into your pocket for it can be an exciting but dangerous gamble.
As for the wax itself, the texture is quite fluid and easy to work between the fingers. The aroma is a pleasant lemony-fresh type of scent but not too overpowering. Its main drawback however is its bright white colour. This means it takes an awful lot of working in to get rid of any creamy residue and all that rubbing can make the wax become a little flaky as well. Creamy and flaky are not good looks.
Once it is fully worked in, the tube lid located and the tiny comb safely put away the results are not too bad. I find it's quite good for achieving the English Moustache style which I tend not to sport too regularly due to the worry of poking someone on a packed tube in the morning. It is also a little more towards the mad looking end of moustache styles. I find that some curling can take away the pointy
madness and I shall be blogging on some useful curling techniques and tools in future posts. For now please enjoy some pictures of me and mah moustache all waxed up and pointy.
