Captain Fawcett Expedition Strength Moustache Wax 15ml – Extra Firm Hold Moustache Wax for Men – Classic Sandalwood Scented Styling Wax for Long-Lasting Shape & Definition

I'm rather new to the idea of styling one's facial fur, but after seeing several gents sporting well-curled and striking 'taches, I thought I'd give it a go. Capt. Fawcett's was literally the first moustache wax I spotted, so I thought it was as good a place as any to start - plus the name is just awesome. It takes a little practice to use, but using the tip of a penknife or even a pen cap will get out a little bit of wax out of the handy little pot (or as another reviewer suggests, the curved end of a moustache comb does the trick). Then it's just a matter of working it warm between the tips of the fingers, smoothing it through the moustache, and then working it into shape. I found that a quick blast with a hot hairdryer once the wax was combed into the hair got it exceptionally workable, and once cooled set the hair in place perfectly. I certainly need a lot more practice with it, but the results are so far impressing my novice eye. It also works well in a beard also, and has finally allowed me to sculpt my chin-scruff into something a lot more neat and defined. The wax itself isn't overly tacky once worked into the hair, and thus far hasn't proved flaky. While I don't know about the other fragrances in the Capt. Fawcett range (Lavender - which was the scent of choice of Hercule Poirot - and Ylang-Ylang), the Sandalwood aroma is subtle but noticeable, and very pleasant. Based on this I might be tempted to try the others out at some stage, but it looks like this little pot will go a very long way. Certainly an impressive product, one I'm hoping to get a lot more use out of - I say old boy!

This stuff is fantastic, and holds realy well. Fortunately as sits directly beneath your snout, it smells really good too. If you lose shaped over time, it will allow you to reshape throughout the day/evening. It is easily washed out too.

Looking at the 'tache at the start of the year, I thought "It needs a trim... Unless I try styling it. Why have I never thought of waxing it before?!" Ridiculous, really; I've had one since I could grow one, which is more years than I care to admit here. But I'd never thought of trying to wax it. You can get almost anything on Amazon these days, can't you? Yep! It very quickly becomes apparent that moustache products come in one flavour - faux Victorian. Even some of the reviewers have caught the bug. I settled on trying this one & the Bounder. The Clubman reviews seemed, on the whole, to be a shade more critical. Being a first-time waxer, I've left it a few weeks before commenting here. I'm still not entirely convinced about waxing, but that's not a reflection on the product. It's a very firm wax, but pleasantly and (importantly) gently scented. This is going to be under your nose all day, you really don't want something that smells like a tart's boudoir! Sorry, my one descent into faux-V, honest, guv... The firmness of the wax strikes me as an advantage as much as a fault. I gather that it's all too easy to end up with too much wax & unsightly results. It's a little like adding salt to food - you can add a little, add a little, until you get the right amount. If you put too much in, it's a lot more awkward getting it out again. So if it takes a little rubbing to build up a layer of wax on your finger, at least you're not slapping it on like greasepaint! One trick I've found quite useful is to work it in starting from the lip & working up, rather than from the nose, working down. You're not smearing wax on your skin instead of the hair, it makes it easier to work into the tips of the hair & the body of the moustache from below and, at the end or rather the beginning of the day, it's the bottom of the thing that you want to style away from your mouth, so you'd surely rather have more of the wax below than above. When all is said & done, it's scented wax. I find it hard to get terribly excited about scented wax. It's a perfectly good product that does the job you want perfectly well, in that it holds your moustache in place without reeking all day (I have a marginal preference for the simpler scent of this over the slightly less firm Bounder). That, to me, is 4, rather than 5 stars. Besides, a proper Englishman maintains a proper reserve at all times & doesn't get over-excited. Demmit! I just descended into faux-V again, didn't I...

Unic smell

Captain tiene un gran surtido de ceras, es dificil saber cual escoger y al final es un poco de prueba. Viendo lo anterior, esta cera es de dureza media, apta para bigotes cortos (max 2cm), sin pelo rizado y que no sea rebelde. Apta para poco modelaje o no tan intenso En el caso de tener un bigote largo (ejemplo estilo Dalí), no la recomiendo para nada, ya que aqui la correcta es la Expedicion.

Ich war lange auf der Suche nach einer anständigen Bartwichse. Was soll ich sagen, gefunden. Mein Bart ist sehr hart, kaum zu bändigen. MIt dieser Wichse jedoch optimal. Ja sie ist hart, aber das muss so sein. Wer was besseres will, soll sich Got2b Kleber reinschmieren, wobei ob das besser wäre wage ich zu bezweifeln. Es riecht dezent pfeffrig, würzig, vergeht aber relativ schnell. Mir gefällt der halt, die Wiederformbarkeit und das es aus Naturprodukten gemacht ist. Wer will schon Castoröle oder irgendwelche evlt. im Krebs verdacht stehenden Produkte am Mund haben?! Ich kann es jedem empfehlen der einen harten, schwer formabaren bart hat, selbstverständlich auch an alle anderen. Man muss nur damit umgehen können. Sehr ergibig, wird bestimmt ein Jahr halten! Immer wieder gerne, nichts anderes mehr!

Ottima cera, resistente, con profumo che ricorda il bucato appena fatto!

Ottima cera. Garantisce forte tenuta anche in condizioni abbastanza estreme (tipo una giornata di sci). Non noto grande differenza rispetto ad altre cere della stessa marca come effetto visivo (dicono sia perfetta per chi, come me, ha i baffi grigi o bianchi, ma onestamente rispetto all'effetto dato dalla versione Nebula non trovo differenze apprezzabili). Ma comunque si tratta di prodotti top, specie per la modellabilità. Soprattutto per chi vuole dare un look ben definito ai baffi.

Realiza perfectamente su función pero deja restos blancos y huele fuerte como a betún
