Use Moustache Wax to Control Your Mo!

Use Moustache Wax to Control Your Mo!

November 2, 2022Drew Mitchell

Moustache wax keeps facial hair in check and lets you style the mo without residue or stickiness.

We are winding down our moustache wax range. Three scents remain, and we're not restocking. If you want one, now is the time.

Controlling Your Moustache

Moustache wax holds the hair where you put it. Recipes vary, but most combine a hard wax for hold with oils that let it spread. Ours uses beeswax, lanolin and castor oil, which gives a medium hold.

Straight from the pot it's hard, because it's cold. Warm a small amount between your fingertips and work it into the hair.

Less is more. A little goes a long way, and excess wax won't absorb — it sets into visible clumps.

What's Left

Our moustache wax is hand-crafted in Queenstown, in 15g recyclable glass pots. Three remain:

  • Opium Smoke — frankincense, myrrh, coffee, vanilla, vetiver, pepper and pipe smoke
  • The Tobacconist — tobacco and black pepper
  • Unscented — no fragrance at all, which matters more on a moustache than anywhere else on your face

Black Cedar, Spiced Whisky and Sandalwood & Leather are discontinued.

When the Wax Runs Out

Beard balm will shape a moustache. It contains candelilla wax for hold, alongside shea butter, lanolin and oils that condition the hair. Less grip than a dedicated wax, but it does the job — and it comes in four scents we're keeping.

Moustache Wax FAQs

How do you use moustache wax?

Scrape a small amount out with a fingernail, roll it between your fingers until it softens, then work it through the moustache and comb it into shape.

Why is moustache wax hard in the pot?

Because it's cold. Body heat and friction are enough to soften it.

Can beard balm be used as moustache wax?

Yes, with less hold. Beard balm's candelilla wax gives shape while the butters and oils condition.

What is Cutthroat moustache wax made from?

Beeswax, lanolin and castor oil, scented with essential oils or fragrance — or left unscented.

How big is a pot?

15g, in recyclable glass.
