I don't know what to say. It's been fun. One hell of a journey. But...I hope to continue to share with you all and look at new stuff -- as James and via blackbeangrocery.com
Holy shit bro, Harvard Business School? Major congratulations are in order lol, I'm honestly a little sad you're not gonna be doing this anymore but things always change. Good luck on getting your mba
Great haircut James. Honestly thinking back to your reviews back in 2013 during college brings back so much nostalgia. Going from using axe stuff, to Murray’s, then to uppercut , then just took off from there. Especially the first crystal lake review. I wish I could get that smell back again. Thanks James for all the good reviews and memories.
This is such a big, but great change! I’ve been watching for around 3 years, and I’ve loved all of the great products showcased on the channel. But I’m also very excited for the expansion that is to come!
My journey with my pompadour hairstyle really started back in 2015 with your videos. No doubt, it's thanks to you that I learned the right type of pomades to use on my hair and achieve the hairstyle I wanted. Thank you so much for all the love, James, and I wish you the best of luck moving forward.
I’m so grateful to you James. You really introduced me and countless others to not only a world of pomades, but a lifestyle and mindset. I remember all the way back to your video series of looking inwards for style and inspiration. I will always remember all you’ve done.
nah bro I appreciate your raw, genuine truth to us, change happens and we understand. We'll be supportin you behind the scenes and Yung Boii Harry continuing the legacy.
Thanks for what you've done here. You were there when I grew out my hair into a pomp for the first time, and I learned tons through your videos. You were also really my intro to quality youtube review videos. You set the standard. Made it easy to navigate entering the weird and wonderful world of wet shaving, and that youtube review community. You're responsible for modernizing my style. Thanks! Best of luck with the future.
Much respect man. You're the one who got me into pomades and now I use them everyday. Your reviews are awesome and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!
I’ve watched your videos for the past 4-5 years now and I have loved the journey. You got me into the pompadour style and I’ve done so many different variations of a pomp since then. Thank you for being the one who you are. Much love and I can’t wait to see some of your new reviews with your current style.
I cut my hair in like 2017. Have been keeping it short like yours since then, but I still kept on watching pomade/clothing reviews, following Black Bean Grocery, your personal developments etc. You an aight internet personality.
been watching off and on for 4-5 years. you're videos helped me decide on which pomades to get. I didn't get cut like you did but i've been growing out my hair for 3 years. good luck in life my dude!
Been a great run i remember my junior year in high school 2014 decided to grow my hair to slick back and didn’t know anything about pomades and ran into your channel and it changed my life for the better from a simple slick back look to a full pomp and the Girls love it 😎 and for that I thank you and wish you luck in the future💯
Been watching you since 2015 as a weird ass sophomore in High School. Thank you for everything you’ve shared and for showing us the vision. Best of luck with everything James nothing but love 🙏🏼
I may be a bit late, but you actually introduced me to pomades. Thanks man, you really helped me transform into my later teens. Success with black bean grocery!
I wish you the best man! Been watching you for almost 3 years and it's hard to see you go but, I know you got a great future ahead of you! Thanks for everything James, The Pomp.
Bro gonna miss your videos. This is crazy seeing you cut it, been watching for years and your pomp inspired me to get the pomp and helped me style it especially with products. You're gonna do great in business school and in life! Much love bro and look forward to new content.
Throw back to the Tumblr days and just asking what you thought about different pomades. Grandad's old fashioned pomade, Pomp's not dead, Lockhart's, shear revival, admiral's waterbased, the Daimon barber no. 1, Reuzel. Just some of the pomades I've picked up from your reviews. You really got me to love oil based pomades. Sure waterbased has gone a long way but nothing could replace oil based for me. Thanks for the reviews. Always loved what you did. See you around James
I respect what you're doing. Your reviews were what really got me into hair and now I'm a barber and loving every second of it. Best of luck with your new endeavours my friend.
Proud of your big dog. Keep that grind up. I still got my original bottle of The Based Pomade. Congrats on Harvard Business School! You are a far way the Murr and the Inland Empire now.
God damn man. I’m gonna miss you-of course Harrison will do justice, I’m sure-however it’s nothing like the og: James. Funny enough my FIRST pomade ever was suavecito back in like 2013-14ish when you were still in H-town and after trying it, I swore I wasn’t EVER gonna go back. It just didn’t compare to Flagship or Shear Revival or O’Douds. But crazy enough, here I am, almost 6-7 years later with Suavecito’s hair cream as my latest and longest using pomade/hair cream. It just what’s worked for me the past year and a half. Thanks forever pomp. You’ve influenced a generation of people. Best to you and all your endeavors.
props for keeping the cut for as long as you did. I cant rock the same haircut for more than 6 months. Just get bored of it. Its why im always in and out of the pomade community
im from Indonesia.i started following you since 2015.the pomp was gave a lot things to me.people change by the time,time flies and everybody who's follow you certainly understand.now my hairstyle also like yours.thanks for all James,great to remember the smell of all that grease.Stay Greasy!!!!
damn... i've only been watching your videos for about 2 years . Glad to see ya moving on with new and fresh goals tho. Did you really say HARVARD business school? that's INSANE! congrats
Bro!!! Your new hair cut looks Fucking amazing! I was gonna cut my hair exactly the same but, I decided to keep the sides longer! I’m tempted to do this now. You look great dude! I actually think that reviews on creams, paste and such would be amazing with this hair cut.
Best of luck with the rest of your life and goals bro. Serious. On a lighter note, this would have been a funny ass April Fool's video too, like you got a haircut and started talking about moving on from the Pomp.
Thank you for all of your hard work, James. Without you I would've never discovered my go to hair styling products from Arcadian. I look forward to trying out the Black Bean Grocery hair dressing cream. I wish you nothing but the best in all of your future endeavors. Quick questions tho- will you and Arcadian be re-releasing High Rise? Also, when will Black Bean Grocery be back in stock? Thanks in advance bro.
It's all seasonal / one time releases with these collabs. Once they out, they usually out. Unless James decides to bring them back somewhere down the line.
Good for you man! Everybody’s gotta grow. A pomp is kind of out of place in a professional environment. Not like a Mohawk or a mullet but not quite a side part either.
Damn boi, I've been here since I were in high school, and now I'm soon getting my bachelors in mathematics. I think change is a good thing, both for yourself and for being creative. If you like something else now, then you'd do a better job at that then being stuck with something that doesn't drive you anymore. Maybe do more blogging-, fashion videos or about things you enjoy? I really like those videos. I mean, I'm not even here for pomade or hair products anymore. I'm mostly just here to listen to you ramble and expose us viewers to new things, or things you enjoy.
I actually have the same hair type as you and have low key been thinking about getting a perm just so my hair acts kinda like normal straight hair and not, ultra straight hair. Shit is so annoying sometimes.
The Pomp: Endgame
lmao
Been there
You're the reason why I know so much about the right type of products for my hair. Thank you!! Will continue to support!
Holy shit bro, Harvard Business School? Major congratulations are in order lol, I'm honestly a little sad you're not gonna be doing this anymore but things always change. Good luck on getting your mba

Dang man, sad to see the cut but happy to see you moving onto bigger and better things with your side hustle over at black bean grocery.

So crazy, I remember the tumblr days. Thanks for all the time and cool collabs. I still have so many of them left. Always want to save the good stuff
Been watching you from 3 years ago. Godspeed. Part of the journey is the end.
Good luck retiring from the pomp! Time to take care of the kids!

Best of luck in your future endeavors. Thank you for all the pomade reviews. You’ve helped me out so much!

The Pomp can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.
We'll miss u James.
Greatest anime transformation!
Sad to see you go, but I wish you all the best in Harvard! Congrats on taking the next big step in your career.
I’ve been watching since 2014 when I was in 5th grade and got your collaboration pomades. I hope all goes well in the future.
Very surprised but I love the change! Congratulations man💪🔥

lmao
Best of luck for you ;-);-):-)
Just found this its funny af
Damn boi, I've been here since I were in high school, and now I'm soon getting my bachelors in mathematics.
I think change is a good thing, both for yourself and for being creative.
If you like something else now, then you'd do a better job at that then being stuck with something that doesn't drive you anymore.
Maybe do more blogging-, fashion videos or about things you enjoy? I really like those videos.
I mean, I'm not even here for pomade or hair products anymore.
I'm mostly just here to listen to you ramble and expose us viewers to new things, or things you enjoy.
I’m... idk what to say
I cut my hair once a month...... good u got ur hair cut.... it was kinda too Long
I actually have the same hair type as you and have low key been thinking about getting a perm just so my hair acts kinda like normal straight hair and not, ultra straight hair. Shit is so annoying sometimes.
Much love from Germany.
What brand are those glasses btw?
ngl this hair looks better on you than the long jawn
❤️
Has the Black Bean Pomade been restocked yet? One of my favorite pomades. I have a similar haircut to you. What do you use in your hair?
Oh god life is over
Strangely cute lol
