Very decent alternative to Groom & Clean, and much less $ for the volume. Similar hold too, just a bit oilier. Also, it smells like jellybeans... which is not really a bad thing but interesting to say the very least. Very high shine though! It's more like perpetual water in your hair, so for the best vintage look, feel, and bounce I'd recommend Murray's Hair Glo. Though the benefit with this is that it's not as picky, and will look about the same any day you apply it. Compared to Hair Glo, that will look better every day you use it, but generally doesn't look as good or go in as easy the first day.UPDATE: I've been using this lately due to Murray's Hair Glo being a tad too sticky for the summer, and this stuff I'd great for hot weather. Bumped it to 5 stars because of its versatility. Also, this is very different from the vegetable oils pomade. This doesn't dictate your hair like that one does. Build up is super clean, and has superb performance.
