Well, after my last attempt at using the pomade, I haven't done so again. But I got my hair cut a couple days ago and broke out of my antisocial shell enough to talk to the guy about my hair. (I really hate getting my hair cut because it's just you sitting captive with this other person) My doesn't seem to lay down like it used to and seeing the top of my head on video now, it looks like it's thinning up there. My thought being I don't have the weight to hold things down like I used to. To which he replied "that's why you need product". He recommended Paul Mitchell shaping cream, but they stopped carrying it. So he used some 2nd choice Paul Mitchell tea tree something or other. It was pretty darn sticky to put in, but worked fine, but smelled pretty strongly of tea tree oil! Now I like the scent, but in the mornings I'll be using other scents and don't want to smell like tea tree oil every day. So the shaping cream is out because it's part of the same line.
So I started using my Black Ship pomade I got because of this thread. I still REALLY hate how stiff it is to put in and hard to wash off the hands, but it's working fine. I use just a little and it's keeping things down and it's not crunchy or anything. I'd still like to find something that is easier to apply and matte finish and not crunchy, but until then I'll keep using this.

I need to give my full review of the Suavecito Premium Blend, but I think it may be right up your alley.
Thanks for the great review, sir! I have been hoping that others would chime in with their experiences and opinions on different products.
Well I am still rocking the Suavecito Premium Blend. But the local place I was picking it up again won't be carrying any longer. They are switching to something else and I will likely give it a try after this tin is gone. But basically they said they are ditching it because of exclusivity. They said that Sally's Beauty Supply is picking up Suavecito. I don't know if this is accurate or not.
That's a bummer, man. I know tha getting it from Amazon Prime is both quick and cheap, but it's so much easier when you can get it in person.
I certainly haven't seen it in any stores around here.
