Amazing product, the shine was top class, kept the beard soft and skin from drying and the scent lasted into the next day.

The Holy Black New York - Matte Clay

A near to spiritual experience is had with this Firm Hold Matte Clay from the house of The Holy Black of New York. Effortless to scoop out and work into your hands as if coming together, beckoned into prayer. Work through in small amounts to get the desired effect whether that be your inner slick & surly demon or that ethereal angel with those airy locks reaching for the heavens, either way everyone with be taken by your omnipotent presence! The smell is just as divine and sinister at the same time, like an eternal battle between a gentle talc covered cherub taking on a hell hound with gunpowder coursing through its veins with no clear winner in sight. You'll also wish that the cleansing of your sins was as easy as this stuff is out of hair and hands! There is no shine with this Firm Hold Matte Clay if applied to dry hair however you will get a subtle sheen with wet slicked hair and that for me is definitely a multi-purpose product for which ever mood takes me or for whichever voice speaks to me from either left or right shoulder first! Which ever direction you decide to take, know that you will definitely arrive in style!

Big thanks to The Pomade Shop for taking the chance on the boutique & little companies that know how to push the boundaries in the world of pomade and other hair products! Time and time again you have been the one stop Pomade Shop for me!

Product arrived quickly, very happy all-around with product. Recommend The Pomade Shop anytime.

After trying many water based pomades, there just wasn’t one that hit every mark for me. Some smelled great but the hold wasn’t sufficient. Others like Firsthand Supply has great hold and texture but the scent doesn’t work for me. Grim grease is a revelation. Smells great, applied like a lotion with some grip immediately that assists in styling and volume. The thing is, it lasts and lasts and lasts. It doesn’t dry though, it has this soft yet strong hold that needs to be shampooed out. My new every day pomade!

This is my first solid cologne and I'm really happy with the product. The case is very nice with the Suavecito logo and the Havana Tobacco scent is divine.

Good product, hold my hair all day, highly recommended and also good services

For years I've been struggling to find a good pomade and now have found it! Best stuff going around

A good sampler to see what you like, everyone's hair is different. Pocket comb comes in handy too, great service The Pomade Shop as always.

Recently purchased this shampoo as I wanted to try something new. Smells AMAZING and only needs a little bit in your hair. I don't even bother with coniditioner (maybe once a week). For my every day wash, I just use this shampoo and it's soooooo nice. Great product, especially for the price!

Thanks team, keep up the great work.

Great product , perfect for my hair type. Very quick to style and easy to wash out. Fast and easy online purchase and delivery ensures I never go with an empty tub

Gray ghost is a fantastic product. Has a good hold and an amazing finish.

Never have dramas with this stuff, worth the money. Good for short hair and lasts the day and washes easy. Stuff makes it easy to shape my hair like my granddads back in his day.

Should have tried this clay earlier. With so clays on the market, this one has been around for a while. It's an excellent clay. Not too dry, strong hold and versatile. Highly recommended it.

This is the best clay pomade in my collection, so good that I ordered a second one. A small criticism for this product is that value for money is not as good as similar products in the same category. For example, Oasis Clay $30 for a 4oz jar, Firsthand Supply Clay Pomade $33 for a 3oz jar.

It has all the qualities that clay pomade should have:

-scoops effortlessly
-strong hold
-matte finish
-endurance that lasts all day
-re-style easily throughout the day

I cant get past the Lockhart's Paradox. It's awesome..... not only does it smell great.... it works. I love it.

Great product, even better with the exceptional service they provided and quick delivery

I’m in Defence so travel all the time. I ordered for samples. But will re order because the Lockhart products give you plenty and are awesome if your away for a few weeks for work/play.

Instant control, great volume and easy to use. This never fails to give great a great full pomp. A must have.

This is the best sample pack to date. It has pomade for every hair type for you to try. Lockhart's Matte Clay and Paradox sample size can also be used as a travel pack. So good that I might even order another pack.

Great service, turned up in Brisbane within 2 days so very prompt. Very much liked the card with handwritten thanks on it. Nice gesture. Happily will order again from the site.

I first purchased this pomade back in 2015, back then I believe it was relatively new to the market and set the bar for the rest of home brew industry. It has gone through some small changes over the years but it has just gotten better and better. This pomade is one of my all time favourites, it is super consistent, no matter the temperature or humidity it retains it's functionality time after time.

It's classed as a heavy hold, although I would say it's more of a medium-heavy hold, slightly shiny finish although will become more matte throughout the day. When applying to the hair it has almost a buttery consistency and you can tell that it is very nourishing. Styling is super easy as you can run your fingers or a comb through with ease. The hold will stay strong for most of the day and restyling is as easy as combing or running your fingers back through the hair.

The other benefit of this pomade is although it is an oil based pomade, it washes out extremely easy with shampoo. This I feel is an underrated benefit as personally I'm not a fan of pomade build up in the hair.

Can't recommend highly enough.

Excellent product, easily applied!

I will definitely buy again

Fast shipping, and great service.

As for the product itself, the new layrite packaging and the classic smell is there, though the hold isn’t. Layrite original used be stronger. So if you’re a layrite user and have been accustomed to the original hold, I’d recommend getting the strong hold, because the new original layrite holds like a gel and washes off like a gel as well. Nothing pomade like about it.

With that in mind, this is not fault of thepomadeshop, these guys are fantastic and I will be buying more from them just because they’re a great customer service and personalise their deliveries which are both timely and thoughtful.

Thanks

Very earthy scent but subtle and not too strong that you want to blow it out immediately. I leave it burning for about half an hour and then blow it out. Smells amazingly refreshing. Highly recommended!!

Def would do frequent purchases for this hair products especially that is sooo good for my hair type as I have curly thick hair.

This would be one of my holy grail for hair products

Great pomade and nice shine for a polished look. Holds well for thick hair, and rinses out within seconds in the shower. A hairdresser put me onto this product, and glad he did. Perfect for slicking back hair, but can be also used for other hair styles.

Scent, texture, hold 10/10

Didn’t know exactly what to expect when I grabbed this one. Definitely a winner! Use a little or use a lot and it does the job all day.
The Gunpowder Spice scent is killer! Easy to apply and easy to re-work if needed.
