PROSPECTORSGold Rush Hair Pomade 4 oz. Tin Can

I've been using this since 2018, and while I sometimes try others out of curiosity, I always end up disappointed in comparison. Smooth and slick with a fantastic scent. There's no need to look any further!

Love this product as it holds but not stiff on ones hair.

This product has completely ruined Suavecito for me. I've used Suavecito for years and has been my default pomade for a while. I'll be using that as my control for comparison. P=Prospectors S = SuavecitoPackaging:P = One word, awesome. Comes in a large metal tin (4.5 oz). It's very detailed and has a lot of neat touches like the shovel and pick on the inside. Looks nice on the bathroom counter.S = Plastic tub. meh.Advantage = ProspectorsTexture :P = Scoops very easily and has a nice creamy texture.S = Very sticky and tacky textureAdvantage = ProspectorsHold:P = I have a slick back and the hold for me lasts around 12 hours. If your a night owl you might need to apply again before going out. Hair isn't stiff or crunchy and is soft to the touch. I also noticed that my hair is better trained and will tend to want to stay slicked back even without the pomade. The added oil definitely conditionsS= Hold lasts a full 24 hours. Very crunchy almost brittle texture. Dries so hard feels like you could snap a strand of hair off. Feels like you're wearing a helmet of hair. Why did I love this again?Advantage = ProspectorsWashing outP = water based and rinses out very easily in the shower even before using shampooS = water based and rinses out very easily as wellAdvantage = drawScentP = I absolutely despised this scent at first. My wife described it as old lady and called me Ethel for the rest of the day. I wouldn't describe is as old lady, but I would describe it as a very clean soapy type scent. It's not overly masculine, but it definitely isn't feminine. It's just a nice fresh clean scent and I ended up growing to really like it after a few usesS = The best part of this product in my opinion. Very strong masculine scent.Advantage = SuavecitoOverall, this product out performs Suavecito in every category with the exception of scent. If you like Suavecito you owe it to yourself to give this product a try.

This is the best smelling pomade I've ever used. Great product!

Product Packaging: 5 Stars -- Definitely an eye catcher! Love the old timey theme of the graphics on both the box it comes in and the tin the product is filled in. The tin is pretty much cool enough to keep after using up all of the pomade for small nick-nacks and what not. The attention to detail on the art is great. Love the pickaxes at the bottom of the gold pomade. Great stuff!Product: 5 Stars --1) Scent: Definitely reminiscent of the old "Barber Shop" smell. The only way I can describe it is that smell in your hair after you've gotten a fresh cut from the barbershop, except you can smell like this EVERYDAY. YES. Someone aren't down for it, as I can generally smell it throughout the day. But I love it!2) Texture: The color is gooooooold! It's very pretty and sleek looking. The feel is somewhat smooth yet sticky? But definitely easy to apply. It reminds me of "thick gel," which isn't a bad thing in my opinion.3) Hold -- Depending on how you like your hair "set" for the day determines if you'd like this pomade or not. If I use too much, it almost feel 'hard' like if I had used gel instead. BUT, if you comb it through some and add a bit of water, it softens up. After applying it, it generally stays in the whole day until I wash it out.Definitely one of my favorite pomades. :)-Ame

So far I have just used it this to hold a slick back and it works well for that. If someone goes undone it's easy to address with a bit of water on my hands. It smells good and lasts for a long time. The pomade is easy to wash out with just water.
