5.0 out of 5 stars Unmatched hold with classic charm

L.K. · 19 May 2025

I’ve only used Death Grip before, so I was excited to try more from Vintage Grooming—and it definitely didn’t disappoint.Death Grip Moustache Wax delivers exactly what the name promises—a seriously strong hold that keeps your style locked in all day. Whether you’re out in the wind, heat, or humidity, this wax keeps your moustache looking sharp and perfectly in place.The texture is very firm and requires the use of a hair dryer to apply heat, making the wax workable and ensuring a smooth application without clumping. Once softened, it goes on cleanly and gives excellent control. It leaves a slightly tacky feel, but not in a negative way—it just ensures your stache stays in place all day without feeling too stiff or hard.What I really appreciate is that it’s made with natural ingredients and has a subtle, pleasant scent—nothing overpowering, just a touch of that classic barbershop feel.To clean my moustache, I used to rely on baby oil to help break down the wax before washing it out with shampoo, but I found that shampoo tended to dry it out. Lately, I’ve been skipping the shampoo altogether. Instead, I use an oil to loosen the wax, wipe off the excess with a dry cloth, and then thoroughly rinse with water in the bath. This method keeps my stache healthy, soft, and even a bit shapeable without wax.This is the first time I’ve used Night Fury, and I’m impressed. It has a lovely, subtle citrus scent. After applying just a few drops and waiting a couple of minutes, I work it through with my fingers and gently massage it into the hairs and any remaining wax, then wipe off. It leaves the moustache feeling clean, nourished, and not greasy.I’m also excited to try the other three waxes in their range—Bare Bones, Bone Crusher, and Sudden Death. Bare Bones sounds perfect for those days when I want hold but without the stiffness. Sudden Death offers a firm hold without needing a hair dryer, ideal for quicker routines. And Bone Crusher promises an extra firm hold without the tackiness, which sounds perfect for when I want even more structure.The presentation box is of good quality and feels sturdy. The corners were a little damaged, but I imagine that’s more due to transit during delivery than a fault with the product itself.The two metal combs included have a nice weight and a smooth finish, showing good craftsmanship. Each has a hole for attaching to a keyring, which is a handy feature. I doubt I’ll use the larger one, as I shave my pate bald, but the smaller comb will definitely be part of my regular grooming kit.Whether you’re shaping a modest stache or going full Dali, Death Grip gives you the control and confidence to wear your style proudly. Highly recommend for anyone serious about moustache grooming.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate!

I was running out of my previous wax (different brand), so I ordered this in readiness. My last wax only ran out last week and so I've only just opened and used this product for the first time this week; and..... Wow!! Suffice to say, I won't be returning to my prior brand.This stuff is nuclear grade wax. Ideal for finer hair. Not sure you'd get it through thicker beards / moustaches as it's so dense!First thing to know is that you have to heat the wax with a hair dryer to melt it so you can even get any out of the tin... so, not ideal for taking out with you for a top up. However, I doubt you'll need a top up: I first applied it on a Tuesday morning: my moustache and beard set in place and, I kid you not, didn't move until the Thursday! It hadn't even moved after a night's sleep for those two days.Be warned though: the wax comes out of the tin (once heated) with a texture similar to pine resin rather than a traditional wax. This makes it stiff to even get a comb through after initial application and a nightmare to get the residue off your fingers and comb afterwards. (On first time using it I ended up with residue stuck to the sink taps and soap dispenser as I desperately tried to get it off my hands!). The plus side is, once you've applied the wax it works amazingly well. The best wax I've tried.The only minus point is, the wax isn't scented so has a straight wax odour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Use it properly

I didn’t use it properly for about a month and hated the product however after seeing a YouTube video of someone using this product properly with a hair dryer.Now that I apply using a hair dryer it’s literally the best moustache wax every lasts all day if applied properly.Reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that your fingers be sticky all day unless you wash your hands like 5 times and sometimes the moustache is shiny which people can tell you’ve applied something

5.0 out of 5 stars Best wax ever.

Best wax that I ever used. It's easy to apply and holds shape really well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sudden Death is a great strong wax that does not require heating

M.J. · 29 December 2022

I have a reasonably strong Nicolas II stylee handlebar moustache and have been looking for a good strong but usable wax for a number of years. I have been using the Beard and the Wonderful and Captain Fawcetts, and found those to be easy and pleasant to use, but with those my moustache needs to be put back in place regularly throughout the day.I found this brand and started out with Death Grip and Bone Crusher, assuming that a stronger wax would be better. Both waxes gave a good result, but were a hassle to use - using the tool provided to scrape out wax and then heat it with a hair dryer to soften, and apply with more hair dryer before cooling, made my moustache look great but was too much like hard work. It also left a layer of sticky wax on the bathroom tap and anything else I touched before I managed to wash it off my hands. The kids were not happy.In the end I compromised and ordered Sudden Death and I could not be happier. It can be scraped out with a thumb nail and warmed using my fingers, and only on the very coldest mornings does it benefit from a gentle hairdryer. Once applied and cooled, it lasts for a whole day with only the occasional twist so long as it doesn't get wet. It doesn't cope well with drinks, but the flipside to that is that it washes out easily. I guess you can't have everything, but I am very happy with to have discovered this wax, and I don't mind drinking my coffee from a reusable "takeaway cup" if it keeps my whiskers looking magnificent all day. :o)

Fantastic hold

Finally ran out of my 3 cans of Death Grip, by Vintage Grooming. A wax I am thoroughly impressed by and use every day.I was invited to purchase Bone Crusher on an early batch but still had a mountain of Death Grip and did not need another tin in my supplies.That said; I would have bought 2 had I known just how great the latest offering from Vintage Grooming is.I ordered a can, and was rather excited.I absolutely love the packaging and branding from Vintage Grooming. I own a tee shirt and their stickers decorate my work shop. And I find uses for the tins. And the guitar picks are a little extra detail that really make their wax stand out.So I couldn't wait to see the latest art featured on the Bone Crusher.I was not disappointed. The art is phenomenal and unique. But Art doesn't make the wax.The price is right in line with their other waxes. It won't break the bank and your money will go far. And it's money well spent.Opening my Bone Crusher; very easy.I've had trouble with Death Grip. Once the wax gets on the threads, there are times I need channel locks to break that sucker open. I have yet to see if BC gooks up the threads in a similar fashion. But so far, it has not been an issue.To solve the DG unthreading problem, I simply do not engage the lid fully. I don't have to apply it more than once a day, and therefore have no need to carry it with me. And no need to seal it.This is a first world problem and does not take away from DG which I rate 5 stars.Bone Crusher is not as sticky.It is a tough wax. Rock hard in the can. A hairdryer is absolutely required.Thankfully, the residue doesn't cling to the hairdryer or the plug.I've had Death Grip on just about every item in my house at one point or another.Not so much with Bone Crusher.It has a manly smell. Not flowery or perfumed. That's not to say it smells bad.It is a pleasant scent and appropriate for a mans stache. It smells fresh and clean. Just not overpowering.Heating it up with a hairdryer on high heat. It takes much longer than DG. Stays liquid for a very brief time and is dry by the time it gets to the stache. Therefore more heat is needed.It goes in wonderfully smooth. It doesn't clump or clot. My stache doesn't separate into multiple strands. And therefore the wax just coats everything evenly and requires very little.And that little will go a long way. A few dips in the liquid wax on each side. A few strokes. Some pinches and smoothing. A few tweaks to shape it.In spite of a longer heat time. It takes less time to shape and form and get a good even coat than with DG.My stache looks natural and full. It doesn't look like I've got any product in. And it remains in shape, all day.I have a large mustache and I'm not using much BC at all.Shaping my stache into a proper and finely sculpted Handlebar is a breeze and less messy.I work in a forge with hot sparks and high temperatures. Welding and grinding and a lot of fumes and smoke.The BC holds up 100%It was the same shape when I left the house and the same shape after 10 hours of work.In fact, it only relaxes after I soap up and leave it in for most of my shower. And to my satisfaction, my mustache seems to be healthier since I started using BC.I'll still buy DG. But my new primary wax is definitely Bone Crusher.If you need a solid, extra strong hold wax, then Id definitely recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

**Death Grip Moustache Wax – The Bee’s Knees Hold for Handlebar Aficionados!**

J.A. · 16 July 2025

Good heavens, dollface, this wax is the bee’s knees! One dab of Sudden Death’s Death Grip—and my whiskers stand to attention better than a brass band at Newark Station. The scent? Rye and rosewater, with just a hint of Saturday night soiree—simply spiffing!That clever guitar‑pick gizmo? A real sockdollager: I just flick out the perfect pinch, no fuss, no muss. With one slick application my ‘stache stays curved like the crescent moon over Manhattan—firm as Old Glory in a stiff breeze—and holds all day through speakeasy shenanigans.Styling is a snap, old bean. Even the most obstinate hairs obey like ushers at the Ritz. I twirl my handlebars with panache at breakfast, and by evening I’m still looking the cat’s pajamas. No re‑application needed—this miracle paste is my secret weapon against wayward moustache mutiny.If you fancy yourself a real hepcat with a golden ‘tache, trust me, Sudden Death’s Death Grip is the real McCoy. Five out of five fedoras—this stuff is simply the bee’s whiskers!-Reginald “Reggie” Thistledown, Esq., Handlebar Aficionado
