Agreed 100%. Don't know how they make it go on so smoothly, and hold through anything, but it does. Best wax on the market for me, nothing else comes close, including their Dark and Light, which are fine waxes, but not as good as the Tacky.

I rub some in first thing in the morning, quick blast with the blow dryer, comb it through & then a little extra on the fingers to shape the ends straight from the can. Holds all day & other than the tips, you wouldn't know I was wearing any wax at all.

Hi MassachusettsBob!



Many thanks for your kind words. Great to hear, that it works for you so well. Firehouse WT is an allrounder which works on many moustaches

WT works very well for me too. I have to be careful, though, and not use too much, or I have clumps in two particular places. They drive me crazy. I do use hndlebars for the ends, as it holds my curls well.

I agree with the above. However, I find if I apply too much wax to the middle of my mustache, I get "fangs." This is my "go-to" wax for the middle. I find I need something a bit stiffer for my ends, though.

Whats the trick to using wacky tacky? I just got a tin, my moustache is still fairly short (about 1/4" - 1/2") but I figured I would give it a try. I was told to rub it between my fingers before applying but it sticks too much so that doesn't work too well. Whats the trick?

RJ,First of all however much you are using,cut it in half.Do rub it between your fingers and work it in good.Remember it is wax and the ends will look waxy,but it holds like hell.I do what I call the finger press.Grab the hair ends together and press it good between two fingers.It kinda of locks it in.It will get better with length.cheers scottyb

Oddly, my recent batches were tough to manipulate as well. I contacted John there, who was kind enough to send a replacement tin, but alas, the same quality: very dry and almost crumbly. Tried heating it with no real improvement. Not sure what to do.

Cheers,

Bob

Going to echo what MassBob said; just got my WT on Friday, but having trouble getting it soft enough to work with. Finally just rubbed the little balls of wax into the 'stache, and it's doing okay, but not really satisified with it. Will try the blow dryer tomorrow. -- Greg

i have also been using this wax for two weeks now and like it. Considering its my first wax and i have a very small stache maybe a 1/2 inch at the most it is a little difficult to know how much to use. I originally applied it heavy and rolled the entire stache into a thin twist. i now have begun to use much less. I usually get a small amount onto my nail slid it onto my thumb and rub between thumb and index finger a few times. My wax is usually pretty soft since i apply after i get out of the shower and my bathroom has a heater in it. needless to say the bathroom is upwards of 85 degrees F when i get out of the shower. I then just paint it on the right side of my stache using my index finger. I then curl the ends and the wax that is on my thumb goes into the curl. the repeat on the left side with opposite hand. It doesnt take to long maybe five minutes if i have a hard time getting the end to curl. However after an hour or two my middle starts to fall back down onto my top lip but the curls usually hold all day once they set up.
