WELCOME TO FIREHOUSE MOUSTACHE WAX

I’ve sported a moustache for 22 years now and in the past couple years started handle-barring again. I have used waxes off and on during the past 22 years. The problem I ran into was that twice I found a wax I liked and then they no longer became available. I experimented in making my own wax but always would give up and let the idea rest. This last time I was bound and determined to make a product I could use, so I brought my ingredients to the fire station when I was off to experiment more. The men at the station got right in the middle of it, often offering ideas, help and even some referrals. Thus the name for the wax was created. So when off at the station for the next month I added and took away ingredients and came up with today’s product.

My goal was to make a wax that had all the good features of a fine wax. To me this meant having a wax that would have a good hold but be workable and easy to apply. Since I work outdoors as a fireman and a farrier in Mississippi where the year round humidity and summer heat wreak havoc on moustaches, I had a challenge ahead of me.

When I first contemplated the idea of marketing a wax, I had an additional thought. One, I wanted to give something back to organizations who help lots of people and two, why not let the consumer be involved by letting 25 cents per tin go to a different charity each year. Thus came the idea of having a counter on my website that is updated each month to let the consumer know how much has been donated so far in that year.

I hope I have created a wax that can be enjoyed by most. This wax is suitable for a wide variety of moustache styles. Whether you are trying to hold a certain shape or control unruly hairs, this wax is easy to apply and will not run. Our waxes are made to get better with each use. They may be a little soft at first, but will get stiffer the more you open and shut the tin, which traps air in.

TO APPLY, simply push some up onto your index finger letting it curl up on your fingernail. Then wipe it on your thumb of the same hand. Rub the wax between your fingers for just a second and apply to your moustache with index finger, applying a little at a time using the wax off of your thumb. Some people may find it better to lightly run a comb or brush through the moustache once applied. Firehouse Wax is offered in a light or dark color as well as our unique "Wacky Tacky."

I hope you’ll find this wax satisfying and enjoyable!

Arkansas Children's Hospital

We chose Arkansas Children's Hospital this year because it holds a special place in our hearts. Thanks to their expertise and special care our great niece is alive today. She was born in June 2009 with severely hypertensive lungs, a hole in her heart and a collapsed lung. She was given excellent care in Jackson, MS but needed the special expertise that Arkansas Children's Hospital could provide. She was air-lifted there and was not expected to live. She was deemed a "miracle baby" by ACH that not only did she survive, but she has thrived since then with no other complications or long term effects. Prayers certainly played a large part in her miracle recovery, but without ACH's loving care and expertise she wouldn't be here today giving the joy to our family that she now does.

Arkansas Children’s Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in Arkansas and one of the largest in the United States serving children from birth to age 21. The private, nonprofit healthcare facility boasts an internationally renowned reputation for medical breakthroughs and intensive treatments, unique surgical procedures and forward-thinking medical research - all dedicated to fulfilling our mission of enhancing, sustaining and restoring children's health and development. ACH recently ranked No. 85 on FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For®. For more information, visit www.archildrens.org
