3.0 out of 5 starsSo far so...okay.

I received it today, and immediately noticed that the can was dented. I assume it's USPS's fault for the minor damage, but I also was anticipating a can that wasn't as...I dunno..flimsy? I easily fixed it.
The smell is really nice. Sort of a light coconut scent.
I applied some, and damn is this stuff smooth. I'm used to Suavecito, so I'm really impressed how smooth it is.
Hold, I have yet to find out how well it holds. But so far I'm really digging it.
Edit1: Okay now that I've had it for a while, the hold isn't as strong as I'd like. The Suavecito regular holds pretty much all day, and this in comparison holds for maybe half a day? I have to put in a considerable amount compared to my old pomade to get it the way I like it (swept back with a part on my left side). I think I'll stick with Shiner for a while, maybe for my next can get the high hold version.
Edit 2: Now that I've had enough time working with it I have to say I'm disappointed in this product. It requires a decent amount of product to achieve the look I'm going for and it doesn't hold that long. Might get the extra-strong hold next time, but we'll see. Might not get this product at all next time.
Edit 3: I finally used up the can and I came to the conclusion that Shiner isn't for me. In the beginning it was fine, but I realized that it really dried out my hair and it was really uncomfortable. I'm going to keep it at the rating I have currently, but I don't think I'll be getting this product again any time soon.
