Reuzel's Extreme Hold Matte Pomade

Kinda surprised I haven't seen anything about this on here yet, Reuzel promoted the fuck out of it and my barber was telling me about it for a month before it was released. Maybe because Reuzel is seen as a bit 'basic' compared to all the home brewed products on the market? Still it seems most here have only positive things to say about at least one or two Reuzel products.

Anyway, I've been using the Extreme Hold for a few weeks now and I've gotta say I love it. If you've ever used Reuzel's Fiber pomade, it's basically a much stronger version of that. It breaks down super creamy, slightly gritty, and goes into the hair very easily. The hold I would say is much more 'stiff' than it is 'heavy', if that makes sense. While it doesn't finish into a crunchy helmet like a gel-type, it does stiffen up, and it's not the binding glue of a heavy clay. If you've used Grim Grease's Cream Pomade, think of the finish of that, but matte and not as thick. You can definitely achieve some crazy volume with this, and it even helps straighten out my wavy/curly hair.

Using it on it's own is all well and good (though personally I recommend pre-styling with their Grooming Tonic beforehand, your hair will end up with a natural shine and the Extreme Hold will just accentuate and define the shape you build while blow drying), but my favorite way to use it has been as a base for oil based pomades. Creating a strong base with the Extreme Hold has allowed me to use all my medium holding pomades much more often, as I don't have to worry anywhere near as much about my hair falling out of place, and I get that slick greasy finish I love from mediums.

Anyone else tried it?
