Is a Texas based business owned and operated by three hard working gent's that have a passion for making premium, uncommon goods that gentlemen will take pride in owning. I was sent 18.21 Sweet Tobacco Spirits which is a masculine aroma inspired by sweet Virginia pipe tobacco and the roaring spirts of swanky Prohibition era speak easy lounges. It has notes of citrus, spicy saffron, and dried fruit provide the initial impression. Notes of manuka honey, dark toned vanilla and tonka bean waft in and out during dry down. Notes of tobacco, exotic woods, and powdery musk rounds out the base. It comes in a glass bottle with a fine mist aroma and made in small batches.
18.21 Man Made Wash is a fortifying shampoo, conditioner and body wash all in one. It is sulfate free, ph balanced formula to gently cleanses and infused with macadamia glycerides, hydrolyzed quinoa, and hydrolyzed jojoba esters to bind moisture, provide sheen and strengthen the hair and skin. It features an aromatic scent of Sweet Tobacco as well.
18.21 Man Made Premium Hair Spray is fast drying, flexible hold, satin sheen hair spray. This is great for setting a style with an all-day flexible hold. Lends a touchable, natural feel and a low shine. The can design is inspired by an early 1900's beer can and provides low shine, controls frizz, can be used for all hair types, water soluble, non-greasy and does not flake.
18.21 Man Made Paste has a medium hold satin sheen fusion of wax and grooming cream. Water soluble mixture and shapes refine texture controls frizz and add a bit of moisture. A little goes a long way so just a small amount is needed.
18.21 Man Made Pomade shapes refine or separate your hair with this medium hold, high shine, water soluble mixture of wax and elastic fibers. This will smooth and tame with all day flexibility control.
18.21Man Made Clay has a medium to the strong hold, matte finish hybrid of wax and clay. Thickens, molds and separates hair. A water soluble mixture of clay, wax and elastic fibers that roughen and texturizes the hair with a shine free, pliable hold that's touchable and not too stiff.
My Opinion: These are some great products and the scent is very pleasant and does make you think what it was like back during prohibition. The hair spray works great to keep the hair in place. The paste, clay, and pomade a little does go a long way and worked well at keeping hair styled and in place for the day. The wash smells good also and works well on the body.
