 Brylcreem Gel
I never used Brylcreem until recently since I went from using Vitalis then The Dry Look in the '70s to moose in the '80s, then hair gels, pomades, etc. (I was probably the first generation of hair gel users).
With Brylcreem I find it very easy to style my hair,it doesn't flake like gels, and it is not greasy contrary to all of the stories I used to hear (remember the Vitalis commercial and their Greasy kid's stuff accusations?); any styling cream or gel is greasy if you use too much.
Brylcreem is so different - it leaves my hair soft and pliable, yet I get the same (if not better) slick look that I got with gel.

Hi gents, i have been a huge fan of American Brylcreem (fl tube) for a few months now, and i have also acquired some foreign versions that are all offshoots of the British version (which i believe to be the original), which comes in a red tub.

The subject matter (true, according to a recent article in the UK paper The Guardian) is handled in a way that only a British movie maker can do: with humor and without mawkishness.
The ensemble work as though they have been a team for years and play off each other in a way that should be a lesson for any aspiring movie actors and yet the majority are well-known Brit stage actors in their own right.
