Mwahahahaha James, now you know why I've been mentioning this pomade everywhere. I'm obsessed about it for good reason as you've just shown. And I actually do need the hold to be really good. My workplace is hectic. I go through the gauntlet with extreme heat, extreme cold, constantly bending over, objects whacking past my hair, and even wind due to a big air conditioning machine by a doorway. I go through literally every worst case a pomade would ever face, just about every day. And this pomade survives and can be remolded after all of that. Especially with its build up... But I would have to use a mild shampoo for it to be a clean build up, as water alone doesn't do anything. Oh by the way a tip I read somewhere before, for using this product, is that we are to apply the product without entirely breaking it down. It's supposed to be seen as streaks of cream on your hands and applied that way. And that provides a stronger hold.
Hey I like your channel! Your pomade reviews are by far the most comprehensive in my opinion. Also, this review convinced me to try flagship. This will be my first pomade ever. Now i can't wait.
I don't know if I got a jar from a bad batch or if my black ship was dried out somehow, but mine was terribly hard and had clumps. I had to use a lot of pressure to get pomade. Maybe I'll have to try it again sometime, but I've been put off.
Just got this product and had first use, it feels so soft in the hair and tbh doesn't seem to be holding tht well, the pomp flops down a little, u can still push it bk with hands but don't wona keep having to do this all day, did 2 medium scoops, maybe I need to use more?
+Bili Meyer It seems to me that the point of Black is to show those making new style water based pomades that a pomade can be effectively dyed black since brewers like Black Ship have only gotten it to be a greyish color. I'm sure it will be good. The Pomp's collabs are less about being the best pomades and more about pushing innovation further for brewers.
I wona try this but is not available anywhere :( maybe you can recommend something very similar but you can actually buy lol? also how does this apply/word compared to a heavy hold wax pomade like reuzel pink?
I recently purchased the Black Ship in the OG Vanilla Peppermint and I was curious; does anyone else who purchased this scent notice the pomade smelling really rank? My personal jar DOES smell like peppermint, but unfortunately it also smells like cat piss. I hate to say that about this product because it had great reviews and the company was very cooperative, but it smells funky as hell. It also has no smell of vanilla whatsoever. I've used it for a few days now and my friends say it smells like peppermint in my hair, but they also agree the jar doesn't smell good at all. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch or maybe it's just old, but I wanted to reach out to others who might've had this same issue. NOTICE: Please don't let this deter you from buying from Flagship, the company is awesome and I'm sure the rest of their products are awesome as well, I think I just had a run of bad luck.
Dude please tell me what is the correct choice. The Pomp have "dry hair" before he used his Pomade . But manybody told me "keep your hair wet before you seting it ." what I just to do "wet hair or dry ?"
So have thick, wavy and decently long hair and I'm using Admiral. I love how easy it is to apply and style but it's not strong enough when I'm skatboarding and in gym, at school, which kinda sucks. Even Layrite Super Hold was not doing much.. And tends to loose height.. This pomade seems much more appealing to me, but so does trying an oil-based pomade. Should I invest into this pomade or..? Please give me some good recommendations and or feedback!
Hey dude! I tried this pomade, and it took me a little to figure out to get the most out of it. I discovered that its best to use with damp hair, and not to rub or break it down in your hair. Let it do that while you apply and comb it back. It never washes out completely after I shower so the build up works in your favor. This pomade won't work with being active and going to the gym, but restyling with water is easy. I also have very oily skin and I use oil based products without breaking out. But I don't get active with that pomade in. I suggest this pomade, but I think any of them that you mentioned will do you better. I found that after cutting a lot of length off, water-based works best for me for everyday life. But when I go out for a fancy dinner or something like that, I use my lockharts or flagship. Suavecito works pretty well in my hair. I'm currently going to try some different water-based because it's winter and not humid. I hope this helps!
@clone 2k yo guys I'm another brother here who have thick hair with dry and coarse texture, I have just ordered this pomade just because i wanna see what the hype is all about. So how has it been going for you? Found anything ? You liked blackship? I have also been curious to try the new Flagship Stream line Cream, which seems to have some interesting traits to it. Would be cool to hear from you both! Cheers my thick haired brothers
Here's a tip for you with this pomade: To get a stronger hold, do not entirely break down the product as he did. Black Ship is best applied when you emulsify it to a point where there's streaks of cream on your hands. And this is a tip that was given from the creator of this pomade.
Tyler Jackson Yeah, it is now. But back when I wrote the comment, the official listing was taken off of amazon and there were a few people selling the 4.5 oz jars for over $100
sorry to say this but u cant break it down all the way, u need it to be creamy and then apply it to the hair. Tip from Wade himself. That way u can feel it being heavy and stronger
Hey James, Why do you think Water-Based pomades are on the rise in popularity? Is it because they're somewhat easy to wash out? Because if this pomade is a little bit more difficult to wash out than other water-based pomades, then wouldn't it make almost a regular oil based pomade? If a little bit of water does not dissolve the water-based pomade then it is close to being an oil based pomade, but because part of the ingredients is water then it is considered a water based pomade. It is amazing that a water based pomade acts like an oil pomade, but by technicality it is a water based pomade. What is all the hype about for water based pomades? Is the hype the fact that it acts like an oil based pomade, but it is a water based pomade by technicality?
+Byron Barillas Generally people prefer gel WB because of the wash-ability and the great hold. New WB give the feel of a oil based but with good wash-ability. The thing with oil based is that light and medium ones are generally easy to wash out(more or less) and that was what most people used to back in the day but as modern pompedourers prefer super hold they use heavy oil products which usually contain huge amounts of various types of wax which is very, very hard to wash out(Murray's supperior and Dax Wave and groom don't have wax but they are still very hard to wash of). SO the new WB give the feel of heavy oil based but closer to the wash-ability of a light one. Also another aspect is applicability which WB gel or new are good at. Heavy or superheavy oil types will make you cry while applying it.
When it comes to unorthodox water based, it's just down to the fact that it's much easier to wash out. As they don't necessarily have to be water-soluble for it to be desired, just easier than the products of the old days. Don't need some other product like Groom & Clean or dish washing soap to get stuff out, just have to shower like normal.
+DisturbedKoala Thats exactly what I am saying the washabillity factor wins overall. Not necessarily that just strait water will disolve it but just a regular shampooing or two to take it off. I admit the whole ritual of degreasing gets tiring, I use the Aussie moist conditioner version. And I did use a shampoo once at an ex gilfriends place on time that just stripped Uppercut Monster hold(heavy oil/wax) from my hair like it was regular gel, I couldn't beleive my eyes. I wish I could remember the name tho.
+Azrael88demon I use different shampoos depending on whether I want build up or not. A mild shampoo I use, that is also healthy, is one known as "Shea Moisture African Black Soap Deep Cleansing" and it's what I use with Black Ship to leave behind a clean build up. As in my experience, the average shampoo washes out Black Ship in one try.
Does anyone have any idea how he gets all of these pomades out of his hair without burning through a hundred bottles of shampoo a year? Does he use a particularly good shampoo that is more effective at ridding the hair of pomade?
Giovanni Marzouca I personally use Pert volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I style my hair every day with a Blackship or The Mailroom Barber and have never had any trouble getting all of the pomade out with this shampoo! And I don't need an excessive amount of it either.
+Cole Neal He doesn't review commercial stuff like the kind you can just pick up at a CVS. That stuff is like another "McDonald's" pomade so to speak. Same goes with stuff like Murray's. So basically anything that everybody already knows about is what he doesn't review.
+Jason footballPollo Pretty much. Especially now that pomades have been going through some revolutionary changes from what they used to be. All he needs to do is keep up with all the wacky ideas that new brewers come up with, and this guy doesn't have to review anything else.
Are you thinking of doing an updated review of O'Douds water-based pomade since he updated his scent and hold ?
Mwahahahaha
James, now you know why I've been mentioning this pomade everywhere. I'm obsessed about it for good reason as you've just shown. And I actually do need the hold to be really good.

If you get the chance, you should check out Daimon Barber no 4.
Hey I like your channel! Your pomade reviews are by far the most comprehensive in my opinion. Also, this review convinced me to try flagship. This will be my first pomade ever. Now i can't wait.
Kevin Ercia how is this pomade?
Love when your hair is long like this. The pomps really hold up well.
I don't know if I got a jar from a bad batch or if my black ship was dried out somehow, but mine was terribly hard and had clumps. I had to use a lot of pressure to get pomade. Maybe I'll have to try it again sometime, but I've been put off.
"It's got the qualities of goon grease." That's a bold statement, but I agree.
+Nathan E Maybe not quite as strong as Goon Grease, but it is definitely the Goon Grease of the current Water Based market.
@@I_Might_B_Wrong for my hair it works way better than goon grease
I've never really completely understood the term of slickness. Is it harder to do a finger combed/messier look with a slicker product?
Surprised you didn't reference The Insubmersible as much as I had anticipated. Grandads WB should be next.
Just got this product and had first use, it feels so soft in the hair and tbh doesn't seem to be holding tht well, the pomp flops down a little, u can still push it bk with hands but don't wona keep having to do this all day, did 2 medium scoops, maybe I need to use more?
purchased this product the other day. can't wait to try it.
glad to see you reviewing products that have generated buzz in the "community". blackship is some top notch shit
I'm curious how this fairs next to Shear Revival Crystal Lake?
Always loved your videos going to get some of this stuff! Thanks for everything
can you please make a video about skin wit beard care like how to make your slolid rock beard like fluffy beard
What's different between BlackShip and Insubmersible ?
Hold ? Shine ? Clean ?
Was going to wait for you to review it before I purchased it. But I couldn't wait and just bought it. lol
+Chris Cheng
It's good that you didn't wait because it seems to get sold out once in awhile.
If The Rustin Black can't hold and control better than this BlackShip, I think, you will be outclassed, James. Hehe.
+Bili Meyer It seems to me that the point of Black is to show those making new style water based pomades that a pomade can be effectively dyed black since brewers like Black Ship have only gotten it to be a greyish color. I'm sure it will be good. The Pomp's collabs are less about being the best pomades and more about pushing innovation further for brewers.
+IMightBeWrong I think James said that black pomade uses to vanish the white effect after apllying a wax based pomade, and Blackship do it well.
These new water bases are like the super saiyans of the old ones.
And this is the SSJG of unorthodox.
Off topic but what glasses do you wear?
This stuff is the best
Could you do a loose pomp with this??
I wona try this but is not available anywhere :( maybe you can recommend something very similar but you can actually buy lol? also how does this apply/word compared to a heavy hold wax pomade like reuzel pink?
or know where to get it?

Nodus Tollens Did you ever find out what the problem was? Did you ever speak with anyone from Flagship?
You may have answered this before. But I'd like to know why you don't take requests. If you don't mind answering.
Dude please tell me what is the correct choice.
The Pomp have "dry hair" before he used his Pomade .
But manybody told me "keep your hair wet before you seting it ."
what I just to do "wet hair or dry ?"
Mainly dry hair
Ton Urachai Dry for a better hold. Wet for more shine.

hey man, where'd you pick this stuff up and for how much? Im looking to get some but I cant find it on the Web in stock
+MrDantheman747 There's a link in the description on product info.
So do I get BLACKSHIP now or do I wait for the BLACK collab :P
+AznSensAsians Just get both, man. They'll both run out on you eventually.
Ordered the pomade... cant wait to try it

Review jack black gel pomade
What happened to the Teddy Boy Original review? Is it related to how hard the 4.5oz is to find online?
+Mufti Hossain The review is named: Anchors Shape Maker
Idk what you mean it's super easy to find
Tyler Jackson Yeah, it is now. But back when I wrote the comment, the official listing was taken off of amazon and there were a few people selling the 4.5 oz jars for over $100
Can you do tony & guy's pomade?
sorry to say this but u cant break it down all the way, u need it to be creamy and then apply it to the hair. Tip from Wade himself. That way u can feel it being heavy and stronger
even your cat knows how sick blackship makes your pomp look haha.

water based pomades wash out with just water
Not washing hair everyday
So you think it will be good for fine hair? Great video btw!! Wish you nothing but happiness and positivity!!
Looks like some good stuff
First post in three years 😎
What pomade is the best for build-up quality??
bigslick heavy hold
I think the slick back suits him well than a pomp.
trying this for the first time. shame on me for waiting so long for any flagship products. time for insubmersible!
You have to do story time again especially if you are with harrison
One of my favorite pomades!!
Review American crew pomade
+Cole Neal He doesn't review commercial stuff like the kind you can just pick up at a CVS. That stuff is like another "McDonald's" pomade so to speak. Same goes with stuff like Murray's. So basically anything that everybody already knows about is what he doesn't review.
I mean you. James. Obviously
So this channel is all about pomades. That's it? Like its the only thing this guy reviews?
+Jason footballPollo Pretty much. Especially now that pomades have been going through some revolutionary changes from what they used to be. All he needs to do is keep up with all the wacky ideas that new brewers come up with, and this guy doesn't have to review anything else.
