Waxy? Creamy?

It would be interesting to know the properties of this product, compared to other hair-grooming (beard, mustache) products. Hair oil? Waxy like Butch Wax® or mustache wax? Creamy like Brill Creme® ("A little dab'll do ya!")? Probably not waxy. "Softens hair." Wax is more to shape and stiffen.

In my youth, the oily or greasy look fell out of favor. I never used any of these products. They seem to have a role, however, in the fiction of certain eras. Brilliantine is used even in a sort of generic sense. Clooney used a similar product in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" His character speaks of it as sort of a personal trademark, important to his self-esteem.

I think it would be interesting to know what the product is, how it functions. Rags (talk) 09:57, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
