Based on the members that have 'proper' staches in our little fly fishing club, I would say you are the "OFFICIAL" (and only) stache wax we endorse. =) Holds up great in the humid, hot, and windy conditions we long rod in. Just between you and me, however, I think it attracts redfish....just sayin. Thanks for making a great product ya'll.

I ordered some last week and got it a few day ago. I had my first opportunity to use it last night, alls I have to say is wow! Great stuff A++. I can't even count how many ladies played with my stache and it still held perfect.

Hi John,

I purchased your firehouse moustache wax (Dark) and love it. I use it everyday to style my moustache. Nothing can compare to it. I will have to try the Wacky Tacky. Happy holidays and happy new year to you and your wife. Thanks John for an awesome product.

Sincerely,

Hey John

I've been using the wax for about a year now. I've also found a new use for it. My eyebrows! My wife had been saying they were looking wild, so I got them trimmed when I got my hair cut. That just made them look funny. Now they have grown back, and I have been taming the wild hairs with the dark wax. Just a really small amount keeps the few stray hairs that like to do their own thing in line. I don't know if anyone else is doing this but it seems like worth mentioning to all those furry guys you have pictures of on the web site.

Thanks,

Wanted to let you know my method of heating the wax. I put it in the sink, running under hot water, while I shave. If a little water gets in the can it's no big deal, it's wax right, just shake it out. Great stuff, Thanx.

Hi I just wanted to update you on my order. I recieved it about 3 days ago but wanted to try it out first, what can I say.... well what I read in the reviews is right! After working out the best way for me to apply, it goes on easily and brushes through easily. The hold takes 10 mins or so to really stiffen up, which is great for adjustments. It gives a more natural finish, which my girlfriend prefers. Thanks again for your superb product, dispatch and delivery and fast communication. Think I have found the wax for my mo.

Thanks lots,

John,

Finishing 'No Shave November' at the fire station and thought we would send you a couple of pics. We ordered some of your product midway through the month. It was a great find and became the envy of the department. The wax was the conversation piece at most shift changes. The Wacky Tacky is the best, most needed all the color we could get. We will send some business your way, but it might not be till next November. The wives can only handle so much stache.

Thanks,

My Wacky Tacky arrived today, a lot faster than expected and (coincidentally) on the morning of my wedding anniversary. I'm pleased to say it does live up to it's reputation: it's a league ahead of the competitors I've tried (Who shall remain unnamed, but there were several). Will probably order the Dark soon to try it, but will definitely be ordering the Tacky again. Great product, great customer service and a great purchase for an anniversary present to myself. Thanks to everyone involved. My only complaint? - at eight weeks growth i can't shake the feeling my stache doesn't do your wax justice. But i'll get there (And will post a pic when i do).

Hi John,

Here is another (picture) to add. Thanks for a great product the best ever!

I manage a restaurant in Tennessee and it (the Light wax) keeps me looking sharp throughout the day. Even with the steam and heat in the kitchen it holds up!

Great product and keep it up.

Thanks

Just got my first order of your Wacky Tacky and I love it! I've had a full mustache for decades which I used Sweet Georgia Brown Original for basic grooming, but recently I've been letting it get fuller in order to do a handlebar moustache and it couldn't hold it up. Forget over the counter products, they just don't work. I read your reviews and decided to try your Wacky Tacky. It holds a perfect curl like you promise. Plus, it takes a VERY small amount to do it. The 1oz. tin is perfect for travel (work) too. 1 request: maybe sell a 4oz tin at a discount to keep at home? I'll send a pic in a few weeks when my stache is grown-out perfect.

I'm fininshing my first can of Wacky Tacky and I love it. Just ordered two more, one for home and one for the firehouse. Always great comments from the guys in the department and the citizens too. I usually freshen it up each morning and a good shampooing every fourth day or so. Holds all day running calls and drilling. Thanks for a great product and such quick service.

WOW!! I've been using the Dark that my Wife got for me this past Christmas, and decided to try the Tacky. It arrived this morning and I'm baffled by it's performance!! Amazing!! Both are incredible products, and serve their own purpose, however I am now a fan of the Tacky. The only people who won't like it, are other wax companies. Outstanding customer service, to match an outstanding wax!!! Thanks so much!!!!

John & Kristine,

Your package arrived on Tuesday. I've been using the Light wax now for five days.

Want some feedback?

Many references I've found online to your wax include a comparison to Clubman's wax. I just don't get it. Clubman's has never been of much use to me, and it seems so different from your wax that I have to

think they are entirely different Types of product.

It takes an eighth of a tube, or more, when I get out of the shower for Clubman's to give any kind of control to my 'stache. And using so much wax fairly guarantees that it will end up spreading around and making my face look shiny all day.

Firehouse also takes an extra amount for that first application after a shower, but not nearly so much as the other guys' wax. And the Firehouse Wax actually HOLDS.

For example, I had not realized that I was cleaning coffee and beer from my mustache after every drink until the first time I did it and discovered that my mustache was clean! Now, that pretty much eliminates the only downside I've experienced from wearing a mustache. That, alone, will make me a long time customer.

Firehouse also sets better than the other guys' stuff. So it doesn't end up making my face look like there is a sheen of oil on it all of the time.

Here's something you might get a chuckle from. I have a pet conure. She likes to clean my fingernails for any little trace of flavor after I have been cooking or handling food.

She goes nuts when I have been applying Firehouse wax. She loves it! So far she has not discovered that it is also all over and through my mustache - I will have a time keeping her from trying get all of the wax out. :)

Thanks a lot. Put another check in the 'Very Satisfied, Regular Customer' column.

--Kennon B.

Just a note to thank you (and with photo coming...soon) for how insanely fast my order got here. I thank you, and my girl thanks you (she was missing my upper lip!) Unbelievable product- I was doubtful, having tried two other brands (excluding that crap in a tube from Walgreens), but this stuff (wacky tacky) is no joke, and does not lie. Best. Stuff. Ever.

Thanks again!

Gday. Got my Wacky Tacky two days and it is excellent. The only stuff I have been able to get in Australia is a product in a tube whose name starts with a "C", and it is so ineffective in a humid sub-tropical climate I was considering shaving the mo off. But your wax is something else. Great hold, no effeminate scent, and easy to use. Wonderful stuff! I went and showed it to my barber - hopefully he will get some off you too. Please feel free to use my comments as a testimonial.

Cheers mate

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for making this high quality wax, and

to reassure you that it is just amazing.

I'm 23 years old, and back in November, I had this idea that I wanted

to grow a handlebar mustache. Not knowing what kind of wax to get, I

turned to The Handlebar Club via www.handlebarclub.co.uk. One of the

very first products they recommended was Firehouse Mustache Wax. When

my mustache was nearing an appropriate length for waxing, I ordered a

tin of your Wacky Tacky. It took some getting used to, waxing my

mustache every morning, (it took especially long to TRAIN the darn

thing,) but the wax holds fantastically. I specifically wanted to

tell you of one event.

I live in Santa Cruz, California, about a five minute walk from the

beach. I was on the beach recently with a group of friends, and found

myself diving face first into a gigantic wave as I was swimming in the

ocean. I emerged later expecting my mustache to be completely

re-waxed again, but to my surprise, it held its shape, and required no

additional touch-ups for the rest of the day. Let me repeat that: I

jumped face first into an ocean wave, and my mustache held its shape.

THAT is impressive.

Needless to say, as soon as my current tin starts running low, I will

be purchasing more of your fine product. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

James R.

(Santa Cruz, CA)

Finally a wax that is not too hard nor too soft! This one (Light wax) works great, holds up to wind even on motorcycle. And the delivery was freaky fast, literally next day via US postal system. I will be back.

Hey! I saw your website a while ago when I began tinkering with the idea of sporting a moustache. When I saw your photo gallery my mind was set, and I started a growing! I ordered your wax on a Friday and recieved it Wednesday (thanks for the speedy delivery!). I applied the Wacky Tacky for the first time, and the results I'm getting are amazing! I'm just starting my moustache out, but I enclosed some photo proof of how awesome your stuff works. Thanks again!

Zavien F.

(Citrus Heights, CA)

Hello!

Thank you so much for the incredibly prompt service, and the amazing moustache wax!

I placed my order on Wednesday and received it, to my bewilderment, on Saturday of the same week.

As for the wax itself, it puts my previous wax to shame. I applied the Wacky Tacky for the first time moments ago, and I'm amazed at how quickly and easily my moustache took the best shape it's ever had! I have a reddish Van Dyke, and the Wacky Tacky tames my coarse, curly hair like nothing I've tried before.

Thank you for such an excellent product!

This is my second order making it four cans of your fine (wacky tacky) wax that I have been using to grow my handle bar mustache. I love your product and I constantly get attention for my well groomed mustache. Keep up the great work and sending out your product. I highly recommend your product to readers and do so to everyone I encounter with a stache. Sincerely,

Simply amazing. This stuff holds better than any other. It took my morning routine mustache styling from half an hour to about 3 minutes. It just STAYS the way I place it. You guys really know your stuff. Thank you,

Gidday John ,

Well for a while now I have been growing a handle bar type mo and due to the fact that it’s impossible to buy mo wax in Australia I have been using good quality hair gel to curl it up [with limited success]

Anyway I went searching for wax on the net and saw your Wacky Tacky product ,ordered some and it arrived on Monday .

I’ve given it a go last night and what a remarkable bit of gear it is .

Really great results at shaping the mo a lot better .The difference is quite amazing .

So thanks for helping me out . [I might send some photos if you want ]

Have a nice day

Great product. Ordered a couple of weeks ago, was here in a couple of days. Love it. Works well and no perfume smell under my nose. Bought the Dark and love it. Thanks.

Terence T.

Got my wax a couple days ago and man do I love it. I have been using clubman, with pathetic results. This Wacky Tacky is great. I love the smell, and it holds up throughout the day. I have really coarse wiry hair and was worried that it wouldn't be able to keep control but my fears went unheard. Thanks a lot for the great product and I will gladly spread the gospel of Firehouse Wax to all my moustached friends. Take care and all the best.

Sincerely,

Hi John,

I just wanted to say that I really dig the Wacky Tacky moustache wax that I bought a couple of months ago. I had been using Hndlebars before it and I've noticed a difference in the holding power of it for the wild moustache hair that I have.

Just wanted to say thanks for making a great product!

- Rolando S.

(San Diego, CA)

Great product! Other than four years in the Army, I've had a moustache since High School. But I've recently decided to go for a handlebar. I'm now 53, and my moustache is salt & pepper colored, so I odered the "Light." My only concern was the fragrance, and I'm very pleased that it's so subtle as to be barely noticeable. This wax is superb...excellent hold and easy to use. I'll definately be purchasing more.

Matthew H.

(Chandler, AZ)

Almost 4 moths ago I left on a deployment with the USAF. Prior to departing my father and I decided to grow "Solidarity Staches" for the duration of my deployment. About a month into it, it became clear that to go the distance we would need get something to control our wild facial hair. My father ordered some wax from your company and ordered some for me. He told me that you sent me 2 cans free of charge, which was great! The wax worked wonders on my wild stache and I was able to give the second can to a fellow mustache grower that deployed with me. I have been using the Tacky wax and it has great holding power for the most unruly of mustaches. Thanks for your support! Keep up the good work!

Hey, Just wanted to say YOU GUYS ROCK! I've been using your Dark & Tacky wax for the last couple of months, and I couldn't be more happy. I'm a fishing guide and between the sun, humidity, & wind my 'stache usually looks like a birds nest by the end of the day. Well...not any more. Thanks for making a great product.

Hello John,

I have been using your wax (Dark and Tacky) for a few weeks now and all of the praise on your website is deserved indeed. I have used the others and like the rest of your customers I have found them to be garbage. Your wax gives my 'stache the hold I need without feeling like I'm wearing a brick on my lip. It is soft and pliable and yet the hold is above reproach.

You make an excellent product that I recommend on a daily basis. As long as I have a moustache it will be groomed with Firehouse Wax. Don't ever stop making this wax, I would hate to have to shave my moustache for a lack of your fine products.

Your Customer for Life,

Bryan T. D.

P.S. I would love to have a Photo on your site and will send one soon.

Firehouse Moustache Wax is the best, hands down. I purchased the Dark wax and the hold is great. I can't wait to try the Wacky Tacky, which I will be ordering soon. The superior quality of your product has earned you a customer for life. Thank you,

Wow, I'm so in love with the product. Hell, your company is wonderful. I purchased it on a Sun. night, got an email 1st thing Mon. morning & it was shipping out that day. On Wed. afternoon it was in my mail box.

The smell is suttle, but nice. The texture is wonderful.

This is my 1st time having a moustache, in 5 or 6 months I'll send new pictures of how it's grown.

Thanks a lot.

Hey John.

Just letting you know that I ordered your wax because I was at a party and my wax wasn't holding together. Well a friend saw me and let me use just a pinch of the wax, which was all I needed. I love your wax and can't wait until it's here!

Chris V.

(San Jose, CA)

Hi John,

I've been using your (light wax) product for over a year now and love it! It works great!

Here is a picture I just had taken of me. I was waiting for the moustache to look right for a pic to send to you...

I teach high school in NY. Some of the students created a webpage for my moustache (note that they didn't create one for ME!)...the kids love it! They've never seen anything it around here. I get positive comments about my moustache every day, not just from the kids, but from adults in the area too...maybe I'm starting a local trend.

Keep making a great product!

Sincerely yours,

Hello, Just a quick note to let you know how pleased with your product I am. I ordered "Tacky" and it worked PERFECT!.....I tried Just For Men Mustache Coloring and it caused my face to burn and become irritated. Your product not only gave me the desired color blend I was looking for, it also is completely safe and causes NO side effects to my skin. I will be a return customer for sure. Take care and be safe.

Tommy M.

Hey got the Wacky Tacky late yesterday and I love the stuff! Had been using that crap in the tube ....ack. This makes my stache look darker and thicker. Thanks to all of you guys who helped formulate the product. You did GREAT!

Frederick W.

(Lacey, WA)

I would like to thank you as well for such a fine product. I have been looking for a strong wax that would hold up to heat and humidity as well as water and I have found just that with the Wacky Tacky that I ordered from you guys. I am sporting a rather long stache and I put the wax in on a Friday and it was still holding strong on Monday morning, that is after several (extremely hot) showers and working under a house re plumbing water lines one of those days as well. I didn't even need to do any touch ups. To put it mildly I am thrilled with the wacky tacky and will be a loyal customer from now on.

Thank you very much,

Justin M.

(Eugene, OR)

After using both waxes, I prefer to use the "wacky tacky" the most, because of the holding power in or against the wind. Riding my horses in the mornings, chasing critters around the land. I need all the help I can get sometimes. The wacky tacky does the trick. At nite drinking beer at the campsites, the tacky stuff lasts the longest, against the big heads, if you know what I mean...

Now about pictures, I will send one or two shortly, letting the hair grow a bit more prior to snapping the photo. Not yet at its fullest. Have viewed your "Wall of Fame." Not quite proud enough to show off the m'tache yet, need another month please... your devoted customer for life;

I've used a variety of mustache waxes, (including one with a nice aroma and one with a chapstick-like easy applicator tube), and both your Dark wax and your Wacky Tacky.

I appreciate your one-ounce tins. I can carry one in my pocket; it keeps the wax warm.

It has been my experience that my mustache begins to droop after several hours and needs to be combed out again. Other waxes tend to leave little "flakes", sort of like mustache dandruff. Wacky Tacky does not. I just ordered two more tins.

Good stuff -- Thank you!

After 5 days of using your outstanding wax I am happy to report the following.

Tamed and happy face fur! I have been using the Wacky Tacky for hold and training and have used the Light for post lunch touch up.

There is zero reaction (to my sensitive skin) and the hold is amazing. Not only that but have received tons of compliments on the handlebars, and strangers have made it point to give feedback.

I have been recommending your wax when anyone asks what I use.

Hey,

My name is Danny V. and I currently live in South Lake Tahoe, CA. I am 24 years old and have been growing my stache for about a year now, and about 6 months ago a random guy on the slopes told me about your wax. Ever since then, I have been using Wacky Tacky. It works great and I recommend your wax to anyone I see with a mustache. In the winters I work as a snowboard instructor and in the summers, I work at a marina. Life is great in Tahoe, but the stache (with much help from your wax) makes this place much more friendly. Everyone loves staches and the handle bars make things much more exciting. Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for the great wax and the friendly service. I have attached a pic of my stache and would love to get on your website (it would be an accomplishment for me and my facial hair). Thanks again and I cant wait to buy my next tin!!!

I recieved the wax on Monday but had a couple of doctor appointments and did not get to send you a recieved notice until today. I really appreciate the fast shipping and fine business etiquette you have shown with our transactions. Yes this wax is what I needed and the first order of Dark will be used as I use both Dark and Wacky Tacky. My moustache is two colors from old age, one of lifes little injustices. So thank you and may God's blessings go with you for life.

My boyfriend really liked the wax I purchased him! He loved both the Dark& Wacky Tacky wax! Thank you so much and the delivery was fast too! You are the best!

Thank you,

This (wacky tacky) wax actually works! Unlike the cream waxes I've tried, this actually holds my moustache in place. Additionally, it spreads really easy and matches my brownish-red facial hair just fine.

I'm already almost half way through the tin I have, I figured it was time to stock up so I don't run out!

I REALLY LIKE YOUR PRODUCT!!! Both the Dark and the Wacky Tacky. Have not figured out which I like more. Both have their quality's which I'm getting to know. I use my beard brush to apply directly to the hair. Seems to go on very well, with / without the brush, use of my finger & thumb also a gift. Again thanx for the order.

Hey man,

I have tried several different waxes and nothing holds a candle to the old reliable, wacky tacky. I went skydiving recently and my stash looked the same when I landed than when I drove into the parking lot that morning. My good buddy Dan also rocks a pretty sweet stash and I turned him on to your wax. Your wax also works well in water. I invented and built what I call a Bubble Room. It's basically a transparent diving bell 20ft under a lake. If you watch the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phj3lLEtWlk) at the 2 minute mark my buddy Dan enters the room and his stash still looks perfect. If you listen close enough you can hear me say Firehouse Mustache Wax! Prob the one and only stash looking good 20 feet down! Let me know what you think and when I find my skydiving pics I'll send you one!

Hi there--

Got the (wacky tacky) wax on Friday, and have had it in since then. Very nice! Keeps the shape nicely and doesn't wear off over the course of the day --much better than that other stuff. Color is perfect. Even up here in Yankeeland it's too bloody hot to wrap up in a woolen kilt just for a photoshoot, but we'll be doing a couple of concerts next week, in uniform of course, and I'll be sure to get a couple good shots for your site.

Thanks much, and here's to many happy years of Firehouse!

Hi John (& Kristine)

Well, your service continues to impress.

I'm a licsensed first responder, volunteer firefighter, medical reserve corp, freemason, fraternity brother, hunter, fisherman, biker, businessman, board member, friend, brother uncle, huband and dad. The last one on my list brought me to you and your product. I have a son in college who was studying abroad for a semester in South Korea. He came across your website and thought I might be interested. After looking over your site, I decided to grow a handle bar moustache while he was gone. The pictures I have attached are the result of two months of learning to live with a long stache and truely appreciating your product. Thanks to your wax (dark and wacky tacky), I have some great photos to remember some shared moments with/for my son.

Hi John,

Only praise for your wax: it's the best I ever had, it holds in all conditions (I'm a product developer, I know what I'm talking about). I recommend it at any opportunity as it outperforms any other wax I know of, technically and pricewise.

Kindly,

John & Kristine;

Thanks to you both for the fantastic waxes you make! I don't think I would survive without my Wacky-Tacky- it keeps the points on my mustache looking good all day.

Hopefully you're seeing an uptick in orders from SF- I've been recommending your wax to all the mustachioed hipsters who ask how I keep mine looking good. It's simply the best mustache wax I've found, and I can't believe the speed you get it shipped out at.

I'm sending along a shot of me from last summer sporting the Tacky- I can't find a good one thats more recent.

-Eric S.

(San Francisco, CA)

I must say I order my wax (wacky tacky) a few months ago. At first I wanted to wait and see how well it would work out before I left a comment/review.

I've been using Clubman Moustache wax forever. I've tired other products: Beewax, Oregon Wild Hair Moustache Wax, Colonel Conk, etc.

Nothing else seem to work like Clubman.

Till I found you guys... WOW...

Your moustache wax goes on easy and stay on all day. Hot weather or rain it holds strong. Yet I love how you can wash it out with a little hot water and soap.

I think I've have found my replacement for Clubman!!

Keep up the great work guys! I'll be coming back for sure.

AWESOME PRODUCT! Third time is a charm! I've tried twice before to sport a handlebar. The first time all I tried was with Clubman wax - not so much luck. Next time, I tried with Murray's Pomade (an African American hair product, but I figured Anglo facial hair was close). Close but no cigar because it wouldn't stand up to the heat. However, the Murray's did an excellent job of conditioning the mustache hair.

Discouraged, I gave up on the project. But quitters are losers, so I decided to try again and came across your product on the internet. I ordered the Wacky Tacky and was pleasantly surprised. It really works! I read some of your customer comments, and saw where the guy from Europe (Belgium, I think) mixed it with pomagranit oil in-order-to shape and condition his stache.

This got the gears turning in my peanut brain. Yesterday, I tried a combination of the Murray's and your product by applying the Murray's first, then your Wacky Tacky. I applied this combination again today, and, and thus far it has proven to be very good - the Murrays and the Wacky Tacky complement and enhance each other very nicely.

Outstanding product and service!! I'm a guaranteed return customer.

Hi John and Kristine,

The (wacky tacky) wax arrived a few days ago and it is a dam good wax!

I had only tried one other wax that I had brought while in France, but it

wasn't specifically for moustaches and it worked ok but no way near the way

your wax works...so I am sold...Firehouse Moustache is my wax.

Thanks,

You guys make a great product. I cheerfully recommend it to anyone who expresses any curiosity regarding my moustache. You guys are the reason I have a handlebar. I was using cheap drug store wax wondering what the hell I was doing wrong. It wasn’t me- it was the nasty wax. And believe me it was nasty, being more of a paste than anything else. But I did not know any better and I was quickly despairing over my inability to grow a handlebar. It was not until I stumbled on a good wax- Firehouse wax- that I could grow a respectable handlebar. I was cruising the web, and read some of your testimonials- and I decided to give you a try. The glowing endorsements are deserved. The wax makes all of the difference in the world. I have containers at home, in my office, in my gym bag- I don’t want to be without. Wacky Tacky represents!

As always- thanks!

Wow! I love the wax and have been jostled by my wife and three children for hogging the bathroom. I heat the Mo’ with the hair dryer and then rub in a little wax. It sets just nice and keeps my hair out of my mouth all day. I prefer the Dark to the Wacky Tacky I think, as it seems to hold a little better for longer. Both great products though and I will return. Thanks you.

Kind Regards,

Wow! Amazingly fast shipping. I just got it (wacky tacky) this afternoon and it is absolutely perfect. The consistency is right on while the wax doesn't discolour my mustache. Great service and a great product!

Thanks,

Dear John,

Coming from a culture that sports big moustaches, it has been a challenge trying to find the ideal moustache wax that nourishes the hair, and can withstand environmental challenges.

Firehouse moustache wax is what wax is supposed to be! It is natural, easy to apply, pleasant to the touch and smell, and can withstand extreme weather both in cold and wet, and hot and dry climates.

Here is a picture of me proudly displaying the "firehouse waxed stache." Feel free to edit and use the image as you'd like.

Hi John & Kristine,

I liked the wacky tacky wax very much and wanted to buy a spare tin to keep at home. Thank you for making such a good product and I wish you a good summer.

Best regards,

I love the (dark & wacky tacky) wax and I tell everyone I see about it. I am a tour guide at Lakefront Brewery and I get a lot of people asking me about the 'stache. Always carry a tin of the tacky for touch ups and always offer a bit to anyone who may need a bit. Love the product. I'll get you a photo or 2 soon.

Thanks again,

John,

Just a quick thank you for your great mustache wax. I was using another wax and it left a white residue and made my face red. The mustache wax you make goes on easy and is priced very reasonably. The dark wax and wacky tacky both work really great!

Thanks from Los Angeles,

Hello John and Kristine

I have used ¾ of my first tin of Light and am ready to order more!! I am very impressed with the hold and the endurance of firehouse moustache wax, it lasts all shift no matter what the (Canadian) weather sends my way.

Keep up the good work

Bought some of your (dark) wax a couple months ago. Love the stuff. Had a wonderful time waxing it everyday for the month of march. (mustache march)

"this wax will hold anything"

"this wax worked even better once i started using a mustache comb"

...Here's a picture for good measure. This is a picture of me and my father. We both have mustaches but its obvious who's using firehouse wax.

Thanks again for everything. I'll be getting more as soon as I run out.

Hi John.

I've been using FMW for some time. Since I have a "normal" mustache and don't need the extra hold, like the "handlebar Brothers", I use the regular wax. I love it and it works well, especially under arduous conditions.

Attached is a photo of "the wax in action" so to speak. Feel free to use the picture to demonstrate to the handlebar crowd that the wax works great in the aggressive world of firefighting.

Hi John.

I'm new to the moustache-growing world but have decided to commit to a nicely-fashioned handlebar project. I bought your Wacky Tack a couple weeks back. It's proceeded well. I had earlier used the Clubman wax. It was more like a cream, had little staying power, and dryed in a very crumb-like way. Your wax is so much better. It's holding strength is significant, but it is still pliable enough to put on and work-through the moustache prior to a final primping. It is absolutely crucial (I've learned) to warm the wax up under the arm, which I usually do after I shower. I keep it there while I shave and brush my teeth (maybe 10 minutes) and then it's much easier to use. I circle my right index finger around several times over the surface of the wax (later found it works better to push the wax up onto the fingernail) and then rub it between my index finger & thumb. I swipe the index finger on the right flank of my moustache, and the thumb on my left, 15-20 strokes each time (repeating as often as I want, depending on how I want to groom on any given day), and it holds up well all day. I looks great, professionally done, and I am very happy with it!

A loyal customer from here on out,

PS: I'll send a picture as soon as I get denser growth in the interior quadrants.

I just got my "wacky tacky" and started my first real handlebar mustache. I am very happy with this product because it is really easy to work with and the color blend is perfect for my mustache. For a first timer using waxes I was surprised how easy it was to get the shape I was looking to create. Man if anyone is admiring or is inspired by someones handlebar floating through the crowd just remember that it takes dedication to inspire. This must be the least expensive hobby I have. Thanks for helping me have more fun with it. Picture to come in the future.

Thank you -Von

John and Kristine,

Got my (wacky tacky) wax today, was heading out with some Clubman on, it wasn't holding, got your tin out of the mailbox, went back inside and washed all the gunk out and applied your wax. It is wonderful, doesn't melt in the heat, and finally I can have my handlebar. Thank you so much for your prompt mailing and kind message.

Been using Firehouse (Light) Wax for awhile and find it blends in great with my salt and pepper stash. It holds well and is not greasy like some. I find it goes on best when heated up with a hair dryer. I like to use a lot at one setting and this is the one for me. The owners are great to buy from, good business savy with thier customers.

Gary T.

Received your 'wacky tacky' last week and it's the best I've ever used. It's perfect. Don't change a thing.

(East Waterboro, ME)

Thank you so much for the excellent service. I love your product! It is refreshing to order a product and actually have it exceed your expectations. Your product does just that. I have been using another quality wax for a couple of years, but I find your product to be superior. Not only does it hold and shape, it also leaves the texture of your beard and moustache well conditioned and soft.

...You are great customer service folks. Too bad every shopping experience with other businesses is not as pleasant. Unfortunately, these days customers more than not become only a number attached to a dollar amount. You are truly a breath of fresh air. That’s why I know you will continue to be very successful. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.Thanks again.

Howdy, I'm just writing to thank you and to congratulate you on a fine product you provide. I am new to the 'stache world and not very fortunate with a hefty 'stache but I work with what I got! Anyways, I am very pleased with your product: "Wacky Tacky." Nice hold and application. I will send you a picture of my little flimsy handle bar 'stache soon. Thanks again and congrats.

Sincerely,

Bruno L.

(Anaheim, CA)

I've used Clubman for three going on four years. One thing I always hated about Clubman was the white residue it left in the stash and it always started drooping in the middle of the day. Anyhow, I guess the store that carried it stopped for whatever reason so I was out of luck and actually ordered five tubes online. Then I decided to look around online for a better product. Firehouse Moustache Wax. I canceled my order for the Clubman and ordered a tin of Wacky Tacky to try out. Why did I not find you sooner! I'm never going back to Clubman. EVER. You can count on me being a regular. With Wacky Tacky I now have the control I've been looking for, for a well groomed handle bar moustache. Thanks again for a great product!

Darrin B.

(North Hollywood, CA)

I just want to say that this wax is awesome! It is so much better than a lot of the greasy stuff you can buy at your local stores. The Light is great, but I really love the Wacky Tacky. Very pleasant aroma and overall just great to work with. It holds up even on the Harley and makes the ole handlebars look great. Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful product and I look forward to doing business in the future. Also, thanks so much for the charity donation. As a health care professional, it means so much. Thanks for all you do!

(Roslindale, MA)

I ordered a can of the dark wax a couple weeks ago. Never used anything like it before. I like it a lot. I have a moustache that goes halfway to my jaw, and need to keep it in control. Not sure, but might try the wacky tacky next, though I don't handlebar it or anything.

I was led to your site by a link on Ed Erickson's Autumn Breeze Kennel site, www.abkvc.com Known Ed for years, great guy.

Thanks again.

Rick T.

(Pasadena, TX)

John,

Thank you for a terrific product. It holds well and sets very well. I had not worn a moustache for nearly ten years, and recently grew it back. "Wacky Tacky" is working as promised - whipping my wiry whiskers into obedience. I also purchased your standard (dark) wax, which I will begin to use very soon. I'm sure that it will work in as smoothly and perform with the same results as your other wax.

As a Cowboy Action Shooter, alias: "Stray Dog Lamont," a moustache is almost essential to look the part. Thank God I found your product!

Anyway, I've sent a photo you can post if you'd like.

God bless you!

Hi John,

I thought I should give you my thoughts on your great wax. I would consider myself a wax expert as equal to you. I have made my own wax for 11 years. It works very well but I have no etched in stone formula so my quality varies as I make it. Your wax has met and exceded my expectations and I do not need to search my containers for the proper stiffness in my wax. Yours fills my needs and I use the Wacky Tacky as a starter and finish with the Light. I like my handle bar to be straight and no curl 6-9 inches in length. You have the Dog Trainers stamp of approval!!

I got my (dark) wax! I don't have a big mustache like some of the folks on your site (this is the first time mustache guy) but I'm pleased! Thanks for the advice. While the quality of the wax is good, it's the personal touch that you guys deliver (through communication and your chairty work) that is going to bring me back for my next can. Actually I'd buy it again just for the wax because it was so easy to use and held great but I hope you get my point. Thanks! Look forward to talking with you in the future.

I had a few questions about which wax would suit me best, and I had an answer the very next day, and not some automated response, they answered personally. These people care about their customers. I decided to make an order of the Dark, I was very pleased with how fast my order came in. Ordered Thursday night, and received the order the following Monday.

I was a little too eager to get my handlebar started at first, and nothing seemed to hold it because of the lack of maturity of my mustache, but now that it's grown in a little more; I honestly can't believe how well this holds up. I've received many compliments on it, and always tell everyone about Firehouse, and the charities they contribute to. I will definitely only use Firehouse from now on.

Hi John,

Happy New Year!

Wax received and tried out the dark wax first. Now able to control unruly mess and help define where everything should be going and trim back what's out of place. I will feel more in place now with my Rolling Thunder brothers.

Ready to ride, tallyho!

Hello, just wanted to send some photo's of my moustache with the best (dark) wax ever! Unfortunately after only 4 short months I was given a direct order to trim my moustache by an off shift B.C. I bought 2 cans of wax(one for work and one for home) and can't wait to start using them again! I have a strong feeling that the moustache will rise from the ashes and make an even stronger re-appearance. Thanks for making such a GREAT product! My Dad,a retired LA County FF, and forever moustache wearer, started using my can and became a huge fan also!

Thanks again!

I just received a tin of light and a tin of wacky tacky. Both waxes worked great and held my 'stache in place. The wacky tacky is amazing. Your wax is the first I have used and it will be the only wax I use. I was more than satisfied and will be ordering more in the near future. Great product.

Hi John,

I received my (Light) wax the other day, and next morning after a hot lather shave with the ole straight razor I tried it out.

I am impressed.

Very easy to use and a lot less greasy then say "Clubman".

So I did my self up a handle bar and jumped on my Sportster for the 14 or so mile ride to work.

I was a bit bundled up do to the 40F weather, but a pair of goggles and a 3/4 helmet were all I needed.

The wax held up to speeds of 65+mph.

I was amazed I didn't have to reapply when I got to my Studio.

Thanks so much for making such a great product.

You have a customer for life.

Cheers!

John,

The (wacky tacky) wax works great! I thought I was just applying it incorrectly because the stuff I had been using before wasn't holding shape very well, and would wear off after a couple hours. Now I apply once in the morning, and occasionally touch it up if I'm headed out for the evening after work, but that's it. It's not a handlebar yet, but it's on the way.

Thought you might enjoy a pic of the moustache that is giving me inspiration. My grandfather has had a handlebar since before I was born. He thinks it was 1973 that he started growing it. I'll see him at Christmas, so my goal is to have something worthy of being in the same room as him by then.

Hello~

I just received my moustache wax yesterday and what a difference it makes! Compared to my previous wax (which I now realize is completely inferior) your Wacky Tacky is easy to work with and keeps my moustache perfectly formed all day long. Thank you for such a reliable product.

Tobin P.B.

(Amherst, MA)

Dear John,

This is my first moustache. After careful research I decided that I would try your wax. Since I never used a wax before I did not know what to expect. I am happy to say that your wacky tacky wax is very easy to apply. I apply a light coat to my entire moustache, hit it with a blow dryer, and style it with a fine tooth comb. Since I am growing my moustache out when applied it makes it look fuller, and it keeps it that way all day. I cannot handle bar it yet as it is not long enough, but I am getting close. I like your wacky tacky so much that I had to order the dark wax too. I do not intend on giving any other products a chance. I can sum up how good Fire House Moustache Wax is in two words... THE BEST.....

Thanks for the unbeatable product.

Joel M.

John and Kristine,

Just tried the (Light) wax for the first time today. I love it!! What a great product. I will definately recommend to others. I have a Fu Manchu and it has been very difficult to find a wax that is strong enough to keep it looking good with out feeling like I am using glue.

Thanks Again

Thanks John. I love your product. It's fantastic. A friend of mine gave me a can (of Wacky Tacky), and I am addicted to it! Thanks for selling such a wonderful product, it beats the dozens of other types of waxes that I have tried all to pieces.

John,

Now that I've figured out my best way to use it, I love the dark wax I bought. The dark wax is perfect for my red beard. I'm a camera assistant and I often have to care for cameras in all kinds of weather and today was one of those days. Here's a photo of me at the end of the day. Pretty good for a whole day of cold rain and wind.

Best,

I bought Tacky and Dark wax at the same time about 2-3 months ago, and both are much better than anything else I've tried. I use the tacky to start my day and get everything in order, and carry around the dark in my pocket, keeping it a little warm. The tacky sets nice and stiff and the dark is a little softer, smoother and easier to apply later if needed. It usually holds so well that I only have to fix it once or twice during the day, and sometimes it's all still in place when I wake up the next morning. Rain, snow or shine, I know I'll get to work with the curls I left the house with.

Dear John & Kristine,

Love it.

Thanks so much and best to you,

Mr. Pitts,

Just a few days ago I received my tin of Dark wax in the mail and I have to say it works great. I've only had my handlebar a little over two months now and thus far had been using another wax. Not only did it dry the instant it came into contact with the air, but it would clump up in my mustache and make me look like I had dandruff! Your product, however, couldn't work better. Thus far I have no complaints whatsoever. I had intended to try out several brands before I settled on one for sure, but I believe I've found the one for me already.

Thanks again,

Micheal M.

(Cincinnati, OH)

John, Wacky-tacky is a great wax! I really love the 'hold', but I don't like the wax under my 'nail'. I use a guitar pick and just store it in the can. Pass this tip on if you wish.

As soon as I hit click I'm placing my second order. I think the last one was over a year ago. I find it hard to believe the 'mileage' I get out a single tin!. Sorry.

Thanks again John. You continue to produce a great product for those of us who need to find a way to spend an extra 10 minutes in the morning grooming ourselves. Great wax!

Thanks, guys!!

Well, it took me two and a half years to use up my last tin of "tacky" FHMW -- but I was using it very sparingly on a superthin pencil-style stach!! :)

Anyway, I retired three days ago -- exactly to the day that I finished up that tin??!! :0

Oddly enough, a month prior to retirement, I had begun to grow the pencil-thin out to a sorta-more-or-less copy of Bill Paxton's stach in "Tombstone." Anyway, I'm definitely going to be using lots more FHMW in the future, especially since my 35-year search for a "perfect" wax finally ended after trying them all and landing on FH! :) (Incidentally, the darker you make the product -- the better for me as a user!)

Thanks for a world-class product, folks!

Best Wishes,

Hello John and Kristine,

I received my order Monday afternoon. Extremely timely, thanks.

I have tried your wax these past two days, with various extremes, and I have to agree that it works according to all your claims.

Thank you very much for a fine product and a honest word.

Your new-found customer,

quote of the moment: Life is a canvas. Throw all the paint on it you can.

I received the Dark back in Spring, and held off on my opinions until I put it to the test of the Arizona summer. 8 hours in 115F heat, and my beard was where I had set it that morning. The wax didn't melt excessively, nor did I sweat it out, as I do with most products. You just earned yourself a repeat customer, Thanks!

John & Kristine,

Well I have been using the Firehouse Moustache Wax now for about a month and just wanted you both to know how much I enjoy your product. It does a great job of taming the wild whiskers, gives a well groom appears, which is essential for military personnel. I have also noted no degradation in the product as the outside temperatures have begun to climb and I suspect I won’t even when we break the 100 degree barrier here in the next week or so. Thanks for marketing your wonderful product.

It's been a while since I meant to send you this.

I received the Dark and the W/T and they both work well. I apply either

one in the morning and there is no need to re-apply it later in the day.

Both appear to train the mustache as well, because even on days when I

don't wear any wax, my mustache now tends to curl up whereas before it

drooped. Thanks for a fine product. I'll be re-ordering in due course.

Regards,

John & Kristine,

Thank you for this wax. I'm a 'noob' to the mustache world and was having trouble finding a wax that did what I needed, but your wax rocks. I have to say I'm now on board to grow an awesome handlebar so thanks.

Mitch R.

(Ashland, OR)

Most customers apply the wax to dry hair but this customer has found a different way to make it work when applied to wet hair. Like we say, find your own particular way to apply and make the wax work for you!....

Here is a product and application tip that may help a few.

I've tried both the Dark and the Tacky wax so far; both are excellent products in their own right, each product has its own redeeming properties. Of the two waxes, the dark has a noticeably smoother application consistency, especially when whiskers are still on the moist side; the tacky wax is clearly the stiffer of the two waxes, it holds a tighter curl, plus the mustache end can easily be tacked back onto the curl itself. If there is a downside to the tacky product, it is that whiskers need to be mostly moisture free upon application or the process tends to result in the wax balling up rather than smoothly spreading out, which is not the case for the dark product.

Frankly the nature of my whiskers don't lend themselves to a handlebar style mustache, nature must be fought all the way; my whiskers are a mixture of course to fine, brown to white, and ramrod straight to curly as the spring in a retractable pen. As a result of this hodgepodge of whiskers that nature has given me an important step in my handlebar forming routine is use warm to hot water to limber up the whiskers as if I were forming a strip of wood; that is where using two waxes comes in. After the whiskers get the moist heat treatment they receive a light application of the dark wax; in my experience this wax will apply even when whiskers are dripping wet. Once whiskers have received the primer of dark wax, a smooth application of the tacky wax is a guaranteed with moisture no longer being a consideration, then I can get that tacked back onto itself tight curl, or form the handlebar in to any degree of curve desired.

Curiosity has gotten the better of me, there is as much salt as pepper in the mustache already, so it seems like a good time to also buy a tin of the light product and see what can be done with it.

Might be helpful to those with reddish hair:

John & Kristine,

Thanks for getting the moustache wax & t-shirt out to me so quickly; I received them yesterday. The Dark wax is perfect.

I'd previously ordered a tin each of the Light wax and the Tacky wax and—after trying both of them over the course of a month or so—although I was happy with the way that they worked, I decided that the coloring wasn't quite right for me. I've got red hair and, even though I generally think of my hair color as a light-colored one, I guess my mustache isn't actually light (it's darker than the hair on top of my head) because the Light wax showed up against the hair more than I liked (just a little bit...I'm probably the only one that noticed; another brand that I'd bought at the drugstore before I found your website made my mustache look practically white, even though it was supposedly a "neutral" colored wax).

On the other hand, the Tacky wax made my mustache look darker--almost brown. The Dark wax leaves the natural color; it's just right!

Thanks again!

I have been using the Firehouse Moustache Wax Wacky Tacky for several months now in Afghanistan. It has held up to some serious heat not to mention constant dust and wind. I work out every day in the gym and the sweat and exercise can't even faze my 'stache. I get regular comments on it, several of the people in my office have nothing but good things to say, and I always direct them to your site. All in all, the best moustache wax around. Period.

John and Kristine,

Thank you once again for your prompt customer service. It appears

to me from the responses on your website that all of your customers share my

enthusiasm for your product. I hope business remains strong enough for you

to keep selling this great wax for a long time to come! I especially

appreciated the idea from one of your customers that uses the dark wax on

the center of his moustache, and the Wacky Tacky for the handlebar tips. I

tried his method and it works great! Thanks again, and thanks for your

service and dedication as a fireman. God Bless you both.

Your loyal customer,

John, the (light) wax I ordered came yesterday. It's one of the few things that really work. I have had a mustache for about 35 years but have now decided to try my luck at a handlebar, but without your wax I cannot train it. Your wax is perfect. My best regards to you, your family and your pals at the firehouse. Take care with those fires!

Hello John & Kristine,

I want to thank you again for your help on the phone, it was great to speak with you. Well, I received my order of Wacky Tacky yesterday and used it today! Thank you so much! I am very pleased with it. I know I need to work on the exact amount to apply but, it is already holding so well. I felt the Clubman was like putting cake frosting in my moustache. You have helped to shape an unruly Fu Man Chu. I hope those storms dodged you folks and you are having a safe day at work! God Bless!

Sincerely,

The wax works great. It is malleable but still has great holding power. Thanks for making a great product.

John,

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for providing a superior product. Keep up the good work.

I purchased your Dark and Wacky Tacky. I have not as yet tried the Dark, because the WT is perfect for my grey handlebar. It is everyting and more than your site claims. I use with a tiny plastic knife instead of my nail, roll it between my fingers and apply. I used a hair dryer on my moustache for several seconds, and set with my fingers. Perfect. It lasts all day!

Thanks for a great product!!!

After purchasing the Light...

Hi, John,

I've been using your wax for a couple of days now, and it's been GREAT! It doesn't feel "weird", even though it's the first time I've used a wax. The smell is pleasant, too.

However, I would like to try the extra hold of Wacky Tacky for my early stage of training, but I'm afraid it might be too dark for my (formerly blond) now almost white moustache. Please give me your opinion.

Thank you

Ricardo

After purchasing the Wacky Tacky...

Hi John,

Just to let you know that I've received the Tacky and it's great!

It's a little too dark for my color (only because it makes the moustache different from the rest of my still existing goatee), so what I did is mix it half-and-half with the Light wax, and Presto!!! As soon as the goatee is gone, I'll switch to 100% Tacky.

Thanks again for a great product!

Wow this is similar but even better to what I used all these years. I had given up trying to find a true "wax" product that would hold as a good wax should and a small amount is fantastic at taming my wiry facial hair with incredible long lasting holding power. The "fingernail application process" from the site works best. Using a blow dryer on the wax for just a FEW seconds works very well. I have finally found a true mustache wax and not just a 'lotion'.

Thank you so much,

I am happy to say that the wax held up through the swim, bike and run. You have one hell of a product. And I proudly wore my jersey with your logos on the front and back. ...Your wax can hold up to a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and a 13.1 mile run, and the world should know that. It's truly the best wax! I will getting a couple more triathlon uniforms for this new season and proudly have your logo on those as well. Thanks for making a stellar product for a guy who likes his handlebar moustache and running triathlons. I was thrilled when it held up through the whole triathlon. I get comments about it at every race and I always give credit to Firehouse Moustache Wax. Thanks again, John.

I have had my order for a little over 2 weeks. I use the light during regular daily use and the tacky when I ride my bike. Could not be more satisfied if I tried. Great products - tacky is amazing on a bike. Have gotten more compliments than ever before about the 'stache.

Great procucts and fast service. What more could a guy want?

Thank you

I received my "Tacky" on Saturday and I love it!! Getting up at 5am Monday morning was like Christmas because I had my "tacky" to look forward to. I got nothing but compliments and smiles and a few crying kids but overall it has been great. My girlfriend, Jessica, also seems to like it and share in my enthusiasm.

Thank you sooo much and I look forward to further purchases from you.

And to think that some old timer told me earwax was the key to a well sculpted mustache!!

Thanks again,

Dear John and Kristine,

Thank you so much! This product is by far the best I have ever used, and maintains hold on even my wiry and wild mustache without an issue. What an excellent wax - I will be definitely be ordering again.

Thanks a million, from me and my mustache,

Jeremy H.

(Nashville, TN)

My first time growing out a stache (I'm 21) and trying a wax. Everyone claims their mustache wax is the best. So I took a chance and picked one and Wacky tacky wax was it. I don't know what a great wax is supposed to do, but this stuff just plain did what I hoped wax would do. Thanks.

Got the tacky today; Extremely fast shipping!! Got home from work at 10pm and could not wait to try it out. Absolutely outstanding product, kept the bars nice and curled with out any fuss. I will definately recommend this product to all the guys!!

I received my wacky tacky today. Thanks very much - great product, great service. It's thanks to the Handlebar Club's website that I found out about your products and wacky tacky meets the expectations set by many rave reviews. Easy to apply, lovely but not overpowering honey smell, shapes and holds my handlebars exactly how I want them. Well done and again, many thanks.

John & Kristine:

Thank you for the prompt updates. I'm glad that not only do you have the best moustache wax I've ever tried, but the service is friendly and warm as well.

Firehouse wacky tacky is the only wax that I've ever had good luck with when trying to tame my moustache. Not only does it hold it in a natural position, but I can choose to style in a handlebar fashion at any time, since the wax is so flexible! Not to mention, the wax doesn't leave a flaky, white residue like some others. So long as I have a moustache, I'll be a customer of Firehouse Moustache Wax.

Thank you again,

John & Kristine,

I have never had a moustache wax I really liked until now. I received my order the day before hurricane Ike hit the Texas coast. I tried the Light Wax the day I received my order. I was happy with its performance. The day Ike made landfall, I used the Wacky Tacky just to see how it would weather a category 3 hurricane. Fortunately, we were only affected by the west side of the storm, but the wind and rain were merciless. As a deputy sheriff, I had to be out in the wind and rain until it was no longer safe. Wind speeds prior to us sheltering were in the 50mph range. The Wacky Tacky performed like a champ in the wind, rain, and sweat. I placed orders for my dad and brother, as nothing I have ever tried compares with your products. Thanks for your hard work to provide all of us a product that actually works and does what it says it will do. I am definitely a Wacky Tacky man.

Thanks again,

Bill H.

(Boling, TX)

So far I've gone through four cans of the Wacky Tacky and I think this product will be the best option for me as I have very curly and kinky whiskers; but just for grins and giggles, this time I did buy one can of dark as a comparison. Your product is great! The Tacky holds up in the heat and rain, plus there is no set time involved with the product; once the whiskers are in place they stay there all day.

The only down side I see to your product is that guys often tell me of how they have tried to grow a handlebar mustache and failed; when I give them the url to your web page they buy your product and train their mustache with no problem. If too many guys start growing a handlebar I will lose my uniqueness around here and then I will have to figure out another means to set myself away from the crowd.

Hi John,

I'm another convert to Wacky Tacky too. I've used many types of wax over the last 38 years and this is undoubtedly the BEST! The first tin is now half empty (or is it half full) and I'm ordering another shipment now so I don't run out. We're just about to go into our summer down here and I'm looking forward to keeping the full length of 'mo' without having to trim it down 'cos of the heat.

Cheers

Hi all,

I just received my order of wacky tacky last week and have since been using it every morning to shape the 'stache. I'm starting out with a curled "poirot" moustache and then moving on to (hopefully) a handlebar. I just want to say how pleased I am both to find a group of people so devoted to the great tradition that is the waxed moustache and also to find a product so excellently made. My moustache holds beautifully and I am the only one in my area with a moustache so finely styled and all thanks to your wax! Thanks alot from one satisfied yankee!

Hey John!

Just wanted to drop you a line or two to say thanks for a GREAT wax! I’ve been using your Wacky Tacky and it is fantastic. 70 MPH on my Harley with no windshield in 95 degree Mississippi heat and the stache still looks great!

Howdy John,

This is the best wax I have ever used. I have 4" handlebars and haven't been able to find a wax until now that lasts all day. I am also a Farrier and work in extreme conditions. Standing in front of an 1800 degree forge, California high desert sunshine and hot horses has got to be the ultimate test. I use the Dark wax for the middle and the Wacky Tacky to hold the bars and it lasts all day. Great product sir.

Walt B.

(Oak Hills, CA )

This is my second order and I absolutely love the wax. Last year I bought the same (wacky tacky) and have really enjoyed the way it blends in and lasts all day. It is the best I have ever tried.

Thanks again,

Tim K.

(Dudleyville, AZ)

I've been using your Wacky Tacky for about thee months now, and couldn't be happier. It goes on very easily (easier, if I warm it gently with a hair drier) and sticks my 'stache hairs together like glue. For the first time in the 30 year history of my moustache, I have handlebars I can be proud of.

I found another use for your wax last week, while assembling circuit boards into aircraft flight simulator boxes. A little dab of wax on the end of the screwdriver, and the screws clung, allowing them to be placed into the orneriest of locations. I'm going to order a can of Wacky Tacky for my employer, to be used for just this purpose.

Thanks for a great product.

John,

I tried out your dark wax and loved it. It was perfect. Absolutley no complaints. Curiosity got the best of me after reading the reviews about your wacky tacky, so I tried it. Absolutely amazing! Lasted all day in hot steamy weather. I have an unruley stache with hairs growing in all directions. The hairs are so wirey that I can't control them. Your miracle wax keeps it neat and in place all day. It helps make it look professional. What's even better is the customer service. A perfect 10 for that. The quickest shipping in the planet! Thank you very much for a wax that dominates the competition for moustache waxes and for unbelievable customer service. Congrats on your business.

Your customer for life,

Tom

(Webster, NY)

Hi John-

I purchased your product last week and have been using it ever since. I just wanted to say thanks and that it really improved the look of my stache as far as neatness and appearance.

It's good to know that there are still people out there who appreciate the moustache.

Sincerely,

Anthony L.

My order arrived this morning and it is first class. Once applied, a quick blast with the hairdryer makes it very shapeable and then a cold blast sets it like rock. I have every intention of purchasing this product as an on-going order. "Brilliant".

Eddie F.

(Blackpool, United Kingdom)

I just wanted to let you know after a couple weeks of using the light wax I am very satisfied with the results. I like my beard long and unruly and I also do not mind the ends and top of my mustache being so as well. I can not stand it drooping into everything I drink and eat so I usually trim it. This year in order to have a longer beard come the Fall working season I decided to grow it all summer instead of starting in August. I also decided to keep the mustache long. Your product works wonders to keep it up and out of things. It holds even when I ride topless and doorless in the jeep at hwy speeds. I am very pleased with your product and have found with a little warming with a hair dryer it only takes a minute to apply, style and out the door which is also important to me. I doubt I will ever get to the point many do with the handlebars 4' long but it does exactly what I want unlike other products I tried.

John,

Just got the wax this mourning when I got home from shift. BEST STUFF EVER! Nice recipe brother. This blows the old stuff I was using out of the water. So far it has set nicely, and I feel that a hurricane couldn't phase this POWER STACHE! Thanks again.

Charles G.

(Winter Garden, FL)

I just ordered two containers of your wax. I have used wacky tacky for the last several months and it works quite well. I get great control from an uncontrollable mustache. I got another wacky tacky and a light wax. Thanks for a great product and for giving back by supporting your favorite charities.

Keep up the good work

John,

Thanks for a great product! Have been using both the Dark and Wacky for 4 months now putting them through the paces, various weather conditions, work, play, etc. and couldn't be happier. They are both easy to use and perform wonderfully but I would have to give the edge to Wacky and will be using it exclusively from now on.

Take care,

John & Kristine,

I am a return customer, and will be a faithful customer as long as you continue to deliver your wonderful product with such great service. My first purchase was the Wacky Tacky and I loved it. It holds my moustache firm even when scootin' down the road on my Harley, or out running 5 sweaty miles in Texas! I ordered another tin of the Wacky Tacky and one of the Dark wax, and I like them both. The Dark doesn't hold a real tight tip on the handles, but provides a firm hold for a looser shape of the hair. Now I can have two different styles for my moustache; how cool is that? Thanks for the great product and service.

Alex T.

(Fort Worth, TX)

John,

I just wanted to drop you a line & let you know how pleased I am with your product. I have been searching for many years to find a product that would allow me to tame & train my wild facial hair. I am able to grow quite thick but unruly facial hair & the ideas I have had in the past regarding how I wanted this growth to look has been a fleeting dream at best. I have tried many other products but I am pleased to say that none has achieved the excellent results that I have achieved with yours. The Wacky Tacky has proven to be just what the doctor ordered & I couldn't be more pleased! Keep up the good work & I will be ordering more of your product as needed. Also, rest assured that I will be recommending this product to my friends. Thanks again.

Dear John and Kristine,

I received my order of wax yesterday and I felt the need to let you know how happy I am with it. Nine stories in the air with the wind whipping to 50 mph gusts and the rain battering me and the wacky tacky held my manstache perfectly. I didn't think a moustache wax could handle my working conditions but with a fireman formulating it I guess I should have known better. Thank you for offering such a quality product with such outstanding customer service. You have gained another loyal customer. And the t-shirt is really nice as well.

Thank you,

(Tacoma, Washington)

Hallo John & Kristine,

I've been using the natural wax now for just over 6 months on and off

(generally I've only been applying it on special occasions) and I wanted to

say that it has been going quite well. I've never used wax before and while

it took a little while to get the hang of, but I now find it quite easy to

apply and I'm using it more regularly. It smells good and rather manly but

not in a motor oil kind of way. So I just wanted to write and say thank you

and I will definately order another pot when this one runs dry.

Regards,

Peter H.

I waited to use my first tin of wax before I complimented you. Best wax ever. Thanx a million.
