"I recently tried Groom & Clean and that is going to be my go-to from here on out. I like the shine it puts on the hair, and it is really light. I don't feel like I have a ton of product in my hair."

Rob Sexton replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"I use Brylcreem almost exclusively. My hair is very thick and gets wavey fast so when I first get it cut the Brylcreem works great, but as it grows I need a bit more to work into my hair to get the same effect. I have the Axe Clean Cut…"
Hector replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"How much of the american crew do you use? Recently got some but I don't now how to use it. Definitely don't want to overdo it. "
wicket replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"I use to use LaBella Defining Pomade (Level 9), but i believe they stopped making it or whatever. My barbershop sells a pomade similar in texture and it has a great hold if you have thick hair like me. It is called Suavecito Pomade and…"
David Somerset replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"I used CHI Twisted Fabric Finishing Paste:http://www.folica.com/hair-care/hair-pastes/chi-twisted-fabric-finishing-pasteScentless, lasts long, and works well for sculpting. Not too bad of a price, either."

Robert Ayres replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"Check out Imperial Barbershop Classic Pomade. You probably have no clue what I'm talking about, so look it up. It's quite pricy, but lasts for a long time. The only thing is that I haven't used it as much as I would like because I…"
Joe Korzo replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"I have really thick hair, and wear it slicked back. The best comparison I can think of would be scott disick just not as long in the back. I use all mitch products, which is the paul mitchell mens line, I get it for really cheap due to my little…"
James de moe replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"Buy Hairbond. It has an incredible hold for the amount you use and it leaves your hair looking like its original state with a very slight gloss not leaving it looking greasy in any way. I have used waxes from Black and White to Augustus Crude Clay,…"
Steve Payne replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"I agree with Brian -- Brylcreem doesn't remain greasy at all and unlike a lot of pomades/creams, it doesn't give you "helmet head." Really soft to the touch without being greasy. As for the look, my wife thinks I look like the…"
Brian Splash replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"The greasy feel does not last long , it tends to set fast , but the beauty of brylcream is that you can wet it hours later and comb neatly again . Personally l love the slick look it gives , a lot of women comment on it ."
Steve Payne replied to Chris Partida's discussion Pomade/Hair Dressings?"American Crew Pomade -- excellent
American Crew Forming Cream -- so-so
Brylcreem -- there's a reason it's been around so long
Vitalis -- didn't work for me
Royal Crown Hair Dressing -- can't get past the smell

- Books
- Back in 2003, my friend called me while I was in Lake Tahoe during the week of Christmas and informed me that they had caught Sadahm Hussein, he then went on to tell me that Sadahm's favorite book was the same as mine. That said, Ernest Hemingway once wrote a confusing, yet oddly amusing and erotic tale of a man and his struggle for self gratification, he called this book Old man and the sea. To the unlearned person, this was no literary movement, it was a giant piece of wtf? I love it, call me learn-ed.
Hunter S. Thompson was more than most people think, more than just a drug-crazed reporter. His writing spoke out against the criminal injustice, and in favor of the common person.
Animal Farm by George Orwell has always been a good read, I need to look into his other works, I hear 1984 is an eye opener.
Miranda July has newly become a favorite author of mine. Her stories are so well written, I can't help but enjoy them.
Robert Kirkman is responsible for a lot of really great comics including The Walking Dead and INVINCIBLE. Check them out.
I haven't been an adimate fan of reading books, but great writers such as these, I largely respect.
- Movies
- La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful) is my favorite movie, I've got a quote from LIFE (Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence) tattooed on my arm and I wish I had a copy of the video from our trip to tahoe 2k3.

I hadn't touched a computer from late Thursday until yesterday night (and only to do some work), so I've fallen behind on my 30 Days to a Better Man challenges, too far behind for my liking. I plan to make them up in full, just feel awful for getting this far and falling behind like I did.
I hope you are all doing better than I.

...Make the most of it. Quit your job if you haven't already, start something new and fresh. The economy's really not that bad.
The first half of 2009 was definitely challenging. I currently work for a company that deals with sending golfers to Mexico for extravagant vacations. I've been the only web/graphic designer for this company, the last 5+ years (almost 6), it was my first job out of college. 2009 brought lots of controversy to Mexico with the drug cartel… Continue

I have never posted a blog here before, so I'm going all-out with my first - No holds barred, I'm talking men's room topics and everything.
I have been a viewer of AoM for some time now, over a year easily, but only recently joined the AoM Community recently to start in the 30 Days to A Better Man project.
What's better to aid in becoming a Better Man than taking care of yourself? I say nothing.
