Grave Before Shave Fisticuffs Original Scent Stronghold Mustache Wax 1oz Tin

This stuff is my mustache wax of choice! It does an incredible job, molding, sculpting, and controlling my large handlebar mustache. Unlike some other brands, it is soft enough to be easily extracted from the tin with the back of your thumbnail, but strong enough to control wiry, willful mustache hair. It is neither sticky nor greasy, and creates a perfectly defined curl. It also does a terrific job of holding all day long even in hot or windy weather. I have it on subscription – it is indispensable!

I’ve gone through more mustache waxes than I care to admit, and just about all of them call it quits the moment summer rolls around. But this one? It actually holds its ground. We’re talking brutal heat—like stepping into a furnace—and it still keeps my mustache looking sharp. No sagging, no greasy mess. Just a solid, clean hold that doesn’t budge. It’s easy to scoop, not overly stiff, and gives me a few seconds to shape things before it locks in. No strange smell, no residue—just smooth performance. If your stache tends to give up when the temps rise, this stuff changes the game.

UPDATE: After using for some time now, I’ve updated the rating from 2 to 4. Still need to use a fair amount and really rub it in, but the hold is pretty good, even over a day. Maybe part of my initial issue was just not using the product long enough before writing a review. Biggest issue I still have is the smell but because of ease of application, I will probably order again. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I can only comment on my experience with this product. For me, the hold was mediocre and I didn’t care for the scent. Like someone else started, smelled like pine sap when applied. Good thing is the scent does dissipate over 10-15 minutes, or else I just get used to it. I found I had to use more of this wax than others to get the best hold I could with it. The only positive thing I can say is it is easy to apply; no heat needed. Just rub it between your finger and thumb and rub it on.

Medium pliable hold allows for restyling throughout the day, pleasant scent

Great stuff. Really holds well. The smell isn't the greatest, but I don't hate it. I'll buy it again.

If you're new to mustach wax definitely get something from fisticuffs/grave before shave. Great brand. Great customer service and I've liked all their products. The best part about this product is the ease of use to easily scoop out of the tin and apply to your stache. Takes a few goes to get the amount you want to apply for the hold you want but the ease that you can do this is awesome. I keep a tin at my desk at work. Not the strongest hold in the world if that's what you're looking for. Though in my experience the strong hold wax I've liked you need to bust out the hair dryer to melt the wax a little... Which is not convenient if you need to quickly apply some wax. Scent on this one is nice as well. Subtle citrus and some faint spice. Like a citrus musk cologne. Overall great product if you're okay with a medium hold.

Best Mustache Wax in the world. Sticky and holds a great shape. Through out the day to freshen yourself, wash your face with cold water only, it will last all day. I wouldn’t leave it in for more than one day. I buy this product in bulks of three. I would never want to be out of it. It makes the perfect strong man mustache.

Smell isn't bad. Clean. The mustache wax is a medium hold. I needed something stronger. Didn't last a significant period. So, it didn't work for me. Will not buy again.
