Bossman MUDstache Unscented Mustache Wax for Men (1 oz) – Strong 24-Hour Hold, Non-Tacky & Easy to Apply for Taming & Styling

I'll admit I bought this on kind of a whim. I'm sick and tired of waxes that make my blonde/brown/red mustache look darker due in color, and finding any guys grooming that doesn't stink to high heaven is near impossible. I'm allergic to pretty much anything that smells "manly", and putting that right under my nose all day would totally kill my sinuses. I figured I'd give this a shot, because worse case, I just send it back, right? Not only does this stuff work fantsic, with medium hold for a most-of-the-day handlebar, it doesn't darken my mustache as I add product to it, the smell is very, weak and dissipates quickly once applied. I'm really, really happy with it, and will definitely be buying more once this container runs out.

Good product. A little goes a long way. Keeps a good hold till you wash it out. Says it’s unscented, but it smells (faintly) of clay (at least I think so) but it’s not a bad smell and it either goes away or you get used to it and stop noticing. Will buy again.

Why? Because there is no such thing as a “perfect” product for everyone. But, this product by far the closest to the best mustache "wax" I've used to date. My number one criteria was that it must be water soluble of which it is in spades. As good as many of the beeswax based mustache waxes I have used in the past have been, beeswax must be stripped from the mustache with oil. It is a messy, tedious process. Mud Stache wax washes out easily with just warm water. This “ease” is also its weakness, especially for the center of the mustache were most moisture (any drinking liquid) saturation will occur. You will likely need to do touch ups throughout the day, if desired, with additional product to keep that “perfect” look… a small price to pay, in my opinion, to not have to use oil at the end of the day to strip out beeswax based mustache waxes. Once applied and “dried”, it can feel a little like using one of the various “glue” type mustache products in the handlebar section of your mustache. Be cautious if using a fine toothed mustache comb. It can grab and pull and possibly yank out stache hairs. A wide tooth comb eliminates this potential problem. I chose the scent free version as I’m sensitive to aromas. It has no scent whatsoever. Huge Plus. As for packaging, I like the little glass jar with the tight fitting lid but I can see it being a pain trying to get product out when nearing empty. A wide, flat mustache wax tin would make it effortless. I had some questions regarding the product so I went to the manufacturer’s home page and fired off a couple of emails. Stephen is quick to respond; he’s passionate about his products and brand. There is no doubt in my mind if I have a question or an issue (I have no issues mind you), Stephen will respond in 24 hrs or less. If you are thinking about trying a mustache wax and don’t know where to start, I can heartily recommend you start with Bossman Mud Stache Wax. It’s easy to apply, easy to wash out and it just plain works for its intended purpose.

I was skeptical at first. Upon first opening it and dipping your nail in it you think my god this is like butter ain't no way this is going to work. You spread it through your mustache like silk and begin to form your mustache and it starts to work. Still skeptical but with no other option you continue and sure enough your mustache forms and the smooth as butter wax starts stiffening. It holds up in heat and doesn't pull on your hairs as you apply it. The only downside (which is also an upside, thus the 5 stars) water is the bane of this wax. So it washes out in the shower better then any wax I've ever used but in the same respect you better get a straw for your drinks! Or bring the container with if you're going for a swim!

I’ve had some false starts with Handlebar growing over the years. This Mudstache product has made my most recent attempt successful. Generally,I’d start growing one committed to it. After some annoyance of errant whiskers I’d trim it. Then a few years later I’d try again. Recently, I stopped shaving my stache about 6 mos ago, and got past that most awkward stage. I couldn’t be happier and this Mudstache product has been a fantastic game changer. It’s helped me get over the hump because of its convenience. Easy to apply, style, and wash out. The folding comb is very decent. For the money it’s a solid amount of product. Highly recommended product to a handlebar newbie like me. As I learn more and progress I may try other products, but I really like the fact this is unscented and gonna stick with it for now. I’ve found waxes with fragrance annoying so that’s a plus. Mudstache seems to have moderate to strong hold. I hate products that look real greasy. This doesn’t when applied moderately. For the aspiring handlebar grower, three bits I’ve learned. 1.) Don’t trim ever when your intention is to grow a handlebar. You might make a mistake it will take time to grow back and frustrate you. 2.) You do you. A handlebar is gonna get looks and comments. There will be an initial period that is awkward where the whiskers feel all over the place. Tell yourself how awesome it’s gonna be. If it was easy, everyone would have one. Look at pics of dudes in the 19th Century and how killer it looks. Just don’t quit on yourself before the magic happens. Once you get a little initial length, start combing the shape you want. Hold the errant hairs down with product like this Mudstache. The container says “training wax” and it does a great job at that. There will be this day in about 3.5 mos - possibly sooner for you - where you are getting over the initial hump. You’ll comb and shape your stache one magic day and you will see it really taking shape and also see how it will soon be ready for prime time. It’s a great feeling to know you can keep going. You’ll always have the choice to trim but will likely be glad you didn’t. 3.) Optional, but don’t tell your significant other your initial intention to grow a handlebar. Staches are polarizing. Only you have the vision to see how it will look. During the awkward growth phase, you may get frustrated. Should you voice it, the objective answer from a loved one will be “just shave it off”. You just need to keep combing and apply product at that point. Your loved one may not notice what you are doing til you have some nice length and shape. If you are happy and confident with it at that point, everyone else in your world will generally agree. GLTA !!!

Gouging price hikes! I paid $17 for two containers in December and now the price is $31! No thanks! Good product but not worth it at that price. I’ll just leave my morning yoghurt in my stache from now on.
