Most hair greases are still made in the USA, but recently there's been a boom in what you might loosely call 'retro mail grooming' in the UK. It's no longer a niche market catering to 1950s enthusiasts (which is sort of what I do) but has opened up to myriad styles and subcultures. In fact these days it's very hard to walk round the streets of London and not see someone who's quiffed, pomaded or generally looking smart and well groomed. But really there are so many pomades, waxes and creams out there and they all produce such different results that this is not a time to worry about us all looking the same in the hair department.
Daimon Barber Hair Pomade is formulated and produced in the UK by two London brothers, Daimon and Leo. Daimon is indeed a barber, who used to work for Murdock, and he quite clearly knows his stuff. Daimon Barber Pomade is a versatile, medium weighted grease made with bee propolis which "helps prevent hair loss and nourishes the scalp". The scent is subtle and rather like a traditional cologne. Not too sweet or sickly. It's worth pointing out that this is a water-based pomade (rather like Sweet Georgia Brown's purple variety) and as such is much easier to wash out of the hair. That also means it's less likely to remove the natural oils from the hair and dry it out.Daimon and Leo have got the shine just right. Personally I don't always like the ultra slick look (particularly in the daytime), but this provides just enough shine without looking or feeling too greasy.
