5.0 out of 5 stars Unmatched hold with classic charm

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.

Very good holding mustache wax.

4.0 out of 5 stars Use it properly

S. · 9 February 2025

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 Finally, the best wax I’ve ever tried!

Amazing, really really really sticky but that’s what you need for the best moustache!

Does exactly what you want it to, easy to use, long hold, smells good and washes out easily in the shower

This is the wax I have been looking for my whole life. I absolutely guarantee anyone whining in the reviews simply does not know how to grow a proper moustache.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing

S.D. · 8 March 2025

I expected something called death grip to leave my moustache tips exactly how I set them, but it didn't, I can work it and apply it well enough, but it never seems to set solid enough to keep a shape.

3.0 out of 5 stars So far a little underwhelmed…

J. · 20 April 2025

I researched a bunch of different brands and figured to not go with false economy so went with this one. It’s quite hard to apply, so far tried using a hairdryer, warming tin in hot water, and even melting over a candle. (Mad I know but it’s really solid stuff)Unfortunately it doesn’t quite reflect in hold… I found that it only held curling the mustache for maybe 30/60 mins.. maybe I need to put more, but I did apply a fair bit.Could be that I just need to try one of their stiffer blends for what I want. Will have to see how it works in the coming weeks.

Top of the line moustache wax

What I got is exactly all this, minus the "too hard/difficult to work with" part. As a matter of fact, once between my fingertips, I find Sudden Death wax way softer than the other wax I have been using and which is said to provide medium hold only. I apply it after washing, cleaning and drying my stache, need only a moderate amount for my decent handlebars, and once combed and hand-formed to my liking, I am done. Also an excellent wax for for during-the-day top-ups if need be, thought it doesn't happen often because SD just holds and holds. It washes off my hands easily and the same's true for washing it out of my stache: it's easy. I love the faint scent too. I am happy to have bought this product and will come back for more SD wax in the future.

Fantastic hold

Hard quality wax with excellent hold, i simply rub between fingers to warm up into a paste to hold moustache in place for the day

رائع

High quality stache wax

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.

It was really good
