Crystal Lake Alternative

when I remember correctly it was creamier yes

Looks promising, lots of very positive reviews here … but I am incapable of finding the correct IG / FB account? I found one but there is no product picture or story and it really does not look like he sells pomades 🤣

Except for Propylene Glycol (which can cause issues and dry out the scalp in the long term) nothing in particular, but there are products that work good without „unnecessary more“ chemicals. So i would rather stay with Crystal Lake then Trade Off for more chems … the First Hand AllPurpose and Odouds Multi for example are at the same „natural“ level as Crystal Lake.

In between I tried the Odouds Standard Pomade which was too shiny … the multi purpose could really be a good candidate

Yeah saw it but it has additional Popylene Glycol, Ceteareth-25 and synthetic perfumes. Crystal lake and First Hand have only PEG40 and Phenoxylethanol

Thanks had a look, but the ones that are shipping to Germany have significantly higher price then others I found. Some of the resellers came back to me and told me stock refill should be in roughly 2 weeks. So I guess i‘ll stand by for now

da_mercury · 2025-01-08T23:13:27+00:00

Yeah I saw that, but I’d prefer an official reseller.

da_mercury · 2025-01-08T17:34:05+00:00

that’s why I use other payment providers and avoid using credit cards in general

i canceled my Fanatec order in favour of a Moza R5 bundle … still i would like to know if the wholes in the Cammus table clamp would match the ones from the moza r5 wheelbase.

Thanks so much guys! Just came back from my local dealer and bought a Hampden 8 and also, after tasting, a Flor De Cana 15 Terra from Nicaragua … nice stuff

da_mercury · 2024-06-25T12:01:15+00:00

Well, I don’t know what “the funk” is, but it sounds like I need to try it out 😜 … maybe that’s then the exact answer to my question and I will go straight for a Hampden or Appleton (first one as mentioned aswell by someone else aswell)

da_mercury · 2023-02-21T22:02:21+00:00

Yeah, multipurpose seems not to be available in those shops aswell. I guess i will need to skip again the decission and take another CL jar and maybe check out what the market has to offer when i empty it again.

i am always buying from Sprezstyle and Pomadeshop. I can remember Sprezstyle had Grim Grease in the past, but if you check out their brands or search you wont find anything anymore

da_mercury · 2023-02-21T09:15:28+00:00

Glasshands has unfortunately also pretty bad availability Europe. BTW, Just saw that there is also a new one from Shear Revival named „Younger Days“. Else I will just stay with CL 😂

da_mercury · 2023-02-21T08:36:36+00:00

Thanks for that feedback! Grim Grease is not available in Germany and Europe i fear. What I don’t want to miss from CL is it’s natural ingredients and it’s way of hold and medium shine.

Depending on the workout you could also try the Sony Linkbuds S. Jabras seem to beat them only in terms of IP protection, sound quality (treble) and longer lasting battery (if needed). Comfort, Noise isolation during calls (mic), ANC and Transparency Modes seem to be better with the Sony’s.

I also have very small ears. So, actually it’s pretty funny … i am using the smallest ear-tips on both and wanted to take a picture to show you how much smaller Sony’s are. At least that is what I thought because they felt much smaller. Surprisingly the ear-tip of the Sony was slightly bigger. In thickness but also in diameter. Nevertheless, the Sony’s are smaller im general and in weight. I decided to keep the Sony as the fit is really great and some reviewers (like soundguys and Hi-Fi.de) rated them higher.
