Sandalwood Moustache Wax 15ml – Firm Hold Moustache Styling Wax for Men – Classic Sandalwood Scented Wax for a Refined, Long-Lasting Groomed Look

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.

Well then. This is the first stache wax I've purchased and without anything to compare it to I would say its pretty smashing! I've been experimenting with facial hair ever since I could grow it and been though mu fair share of beards chops etc but never really taken on the challenge of a classic moustache, I used to trim my lip hair when it dropped below the upper lip and started becoming part of my daily meals... HOWEVER! this is no longer a problem as I now have my upper lip appendage growing well on its way to the title of a mighty tash and with the help of Captain Fawcett I have managed to maintain my stache very well indeed. Pros and cons Initially I thought this wax was leaving an almost dandruff like feauture however after working the wax into the stache it looks very natural. I've been testing it over the last few days starting out with very little then working a bit more into it. Each to their own some people need more wax some people need less. It's much like sorting out you'r hair with wax or gel, you eventually get the idea through trial and error. It is very stiff stuff! A constistant product not oily or goopey in any way, Its wax there is no doubt about it take small amounts instead of big dollops! I found having a sink of warm water helped by this I mean after getting the wax on you'r finger tips take a very light dab of water on the ends of them. Not sure how well it will hold the tips of the tash, I've yet to experiment with defining a point at each end but its pretty stiff stuff like I said so I'm sure it would work well. Not sure how long it lasts, It generally keeps the hair from dropping onto the upper lip, keeps its shape very well. but it does get dryer over the day. I let it dry naturally not blow dried. but the tips of the tash have not stayed as sharp as they have been at the start of the day. I hope this was all of use to someone. All in all I would say this is a good product, I read other reviews first and this seemed the way to go. Thanks for reading =]

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...

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!

I bought this wax for my burgeoning handlebar. I was, I have to admit, swayed by the name and the styling of the pot. I have been growing the moustache for about 5 months now so it's pretty mature and has enough length to provide some leverage for the wax to do its thing. Unfortunately I find this wax to be very disappointing in the main. It is a medium firm wax in the pot and is somewhat oily in texture. Neither of these things are negatives in my view as it promises ease of use and good adhesion, unfortunately that's about where the good properties end. I have tried using a little, I have tried using a lot, and I have tried using excessive amounts where you could use the 'tache as a candle in an emergency, assuming a certain disregard for one's upper face. None of these variations work as far as keeping the moustache under control. It ends up being oily and waxy but the strands do not hold together, they pretty much do what they were going to do anyway, just in a waxier and oilier fashion. In fairness being a medium firm wax and a bit oily Captain Fawcett's is very easy to use, but then so is Lego, and both are equally useless at keeping a large bushy moustache at bay. Lego would at least have the advantage of not honking of sandalwood. I have nothing against sandalwood, or at least I didn't, I may now be put off it for life: a gentle smell wafting off one's 'tache tamer is quite welcome but this doesn't have a sandalwood scent so much as a SANDALWOOD scent. It's just too much. It's pleasant at first but after 15 - 20 minutes and it hasn't diminished in intensity you realise that you're stuck with it for the day and it can be somewhat headache inducing. I bought this wax some time ago and held off writing this review until I had had a chance to try it out a few more times under different conditions - less wax, more wax, less 'tache, more 'tache and so forth but it still honks and does little to hold the moustache in any way that I can see to be a benefit. It's a shame as it looks great in the jar but that's probably where it should stay.

This is a really tiny tin. Bought as a present, so I can’t comment on the contents.

Strong wax, needs some manipulation between the fingers before applying but has a good hold and a pleasant smell. Far better than some others on sale on Amazon.

Capt Fawcett's Moustache Wax - Expedition Strength. No matter what high adventure the gentleman is on, he can be rest assured that this moustache wax will not let him down. And if he does need to touch up his glorious manly whiskers, in order to impress the ladies, then he will be grateful for the tins small size that can easily be hidden on his person. This wax offers a very strong hold for your moustache and can last many hours provided you don't keep playing with it (the moustache that is!). This comes a cost in the sense of being very difficult to scop out of the tin. You have to dig with your thumbnail in order to scope the wax out, and it will be a bit crumbly at first until you warm it up between thumb and finger which can be difficult, and will result in bits in your moustache and or beard if not warmed up properly. However this can be made easier by melting it with the use of a hair dryer on highest heat setting for a minute or two. This makes applying it to the moustache supper easy although it quickly hardens up. Apllication can be difficult and can tug at the hair which for me caused a couple of whiskers to come out. But with time and practice, you will soon learn how to best use this wax. And as it's a hard wax, you will be able to style your moustache the way you want it and be reassured it will stay the way you like it. Highly recommended.
