Anyone know what happened to Dapper Man pomade? I love that stuff but I can't find the website anymore. Did they go out of business?

Oh no! I hope not. I should have bought like 10 cans.

I thought that there was a member here who mentioned that they knew the owner/maker... or am I mistaken? Maybe we could ask what happened.

At best they didn't pay their webhosting bill, as the website is definitely down.

I found the guy on Ebay and sent him a message. He replied:
"Thanks I value you opinion having a trademark prob should be resolved soon I will let you know Thanks for the biz Steve
- vintagemanstephan"
So I guess it's not all that bad, but it's possible he'll be ******* with the company that produced the movie, for quite a while.

What movie? Oh Brother Where Art Thou? I hope that isn't the case. In the movie the product is Dapper Dan and it is in an orange tin. I don't see how he is riding off them at all.

I assume it's that movie... The name was too close not to draw their attention, in my opinion.
I know, but the paranoia bred by corporate greed makes them believe so, I suppose. :/

A couple days ago, I picked up a tin of Royal Crown after getting my hair cut. I am very disappointed. It smells nice, but it does virtually nothing to hold. I will be sticking with Murray's Original in the future.
Also, the can is really shoddy. If it is not just sitting in my bathroom the lid will fall off and get gooey.

From what Jan Hella says and personal experience, Royal Crown pomade is more of a topcoat product, or maybe for some nonchalant slick back.
The cardboard tin I also find a bit of shame in a way, but it's got a nice bright and shiny color
*edit*
I personally think that Murray's original is a bit to ''dirty'' in a way. I would suggest using Black&White.

Not if you want hold
If you want something that's a whole lot more manageable than Murray's Superior, check out Dax Wave & Groom. The amount I suggest this product, I should be getting some sort of incentive! But, I can't deny a good product, that's as readily available as it is...
I'm gonna make a video to show a "tip/trick" to working with light pomades/hair dressings, such as Royal Crown. You can get some height and hold, but obviously, not as much as you would with something like Murray's or Dax.

I've read some thirty pages here, and there are lots and lots of different brands, advice, etc.
I wonder what would help my hairdo, my hair is very thick, stiff and springy. I do a timeless split (like Carey Grant), but the only thing that seem to work is three layers of very strong hair spray on day 1, and then I can get by with only 1 application a day. Of course, after sports, or when it gets greasy after 3 days, it needs a washing.
I've tried gel, but it doesn't hold well and looks strange.
I'm not a fan of the wetlook, but am eager to try a good pommade.

Yeah it really is just best used as a top coat for added shine. I had to stop using it regularly. because it gets all over everything and stains.

Flute, I was just looking today for Dapper Man, as my supplies are running scarce! I hope all gets resolved soon!

Good news.
I wrote to Rob a while ago about it and hadn't heard back.
I gotta get me some!

I don't wash my hair every day (normally every 3 days or so, much healthier for the hair). I like it best when I don't have to put in more pomade every day, but then again, I do not go full out greaser (a little dab will do ya), so there isn't very much. If my hair is not behaving, I will use a bit more, but that all depends.
