Never Heard Of Brylcreem???

September 9, 2006 1:34:54 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
I went to the barber shop this morning for my regular trim. My usual barber was out sick today. I almost decided to just leave and come back when he's there but I figured what the heck, I'd go ahead and let the lady who was working do it.

She did a nice job although not quite as good as my usual guy does. During the haircut she asked if I would like any gel on my hair. I told her no, that I use Brylcreem and since I know they don't use it there just a bit of lilac tonic would do.

When I mentioned the Brylcreem she said she had never heard of it. I couldn't believe my ears. The stuff's been on the market since 1928. She actually asked the other barber if he had heard of it. Of course he had. He said his grandfather had used it .

I just couldn't believe someone working in the hair care industry had never heard of Brylcreem, even if she was a bit young. I guess some of us are a dying breed.

My sisters use to sneak up behind me when I was a kid, and rub their hands in my hair all the while crooning "brylcream boy".  I guess brylcream dates us.

Yeah, I suppose it does, but some of the younger guys are starting to discover it and how it can control your hair without making it stiff or overly greasy.

I like the fact that it also conditions the hair.

I have a rather large and annoying cowlick on the back of my head due to the fact that I have two crowns, one of each side. I need to use something to make it lay down properly and never liked the stiff feeling of gels or sprays.

Maybe you just used too much. A little dab'll do ya.
