About this item

  • STRONG, HIGH HOLD MUSTACHE & BEARD WAX: This mustache wax for men is made to withstand extreme heat, humidity, wind, or any other weather condition your mustache or beard encounters. Easy application with no need to reapply.
  • COMPETITION-HOLD, YET STILL PLIABLE: This mustache wax extra strong hold doesn't get cemented in after application. Hair remains pliable, and you can change moustache styles throughout the day for a more natural look.
  • BEST FOR: Our Wacky Tacky mustache wax for men is the darkest of our waxes and blends well with brown to black hair. Goes on lighter than it looks in the tin & can be lighter/darker than shown due to natural variances in the waxes used.
  • NATURAL SCENT & COLOR: There are no dyes or fragrances in our mustache & beard wax for men. The strong hold mustache wax’s color and scent come naturally from the waxes used. A must-have for your mustache & beard care!
  • REAL WAX, NOT CREAM OR PASTE - This firm hold mustache wax is meant to be hard & stiff, & requires a little warming up before application, especially in colder months.

Our waxes contain no nuts, corn, gluten, coconut, dairy, almond, soy, lanolin or resin (fir, pine, cedar etc.).

They do contain beeswax but no other animal byproducts. They do contain a small amount of petroleum product. Without it, you would not be able to get the wax out of the tin. There are no dyes or fragrances in our waxes. Both color and scent come naturally from the waxes used.

This wax is suitable for a wide variety of moustache, beard and goatee styles.

We support a different charity every year by donating 25 cents of every tin you purchase.

MADE IN THE USA.

OUR STORY

John is a fireman and a farrier by trade, and has sported a moustache since 1987. When his 2 favorite moustache waxes stopped selling in the market, he just couldn't find anything comparable that worked – one that could withstand not only the rigors of his jobs, but also Mississippi’s heat, humidity and wind, as well as the damp and cold. That’s when he decided to experiment in making his own moustache and beard wax.

At the fire station, everyone would get in on the fun as he tossed around ideas and experimented with the guys there. Thus the name for the moustache wax was born.

After many trial and error batches, he came up with a wax that has an incredible hold, is easy to apply and will not run. Each small batch of mustache/beard wax is personally handmade, hand poured and checked by John. We hope you’ll enjoy it!

HOW TO USE

PUSH (do NOT scrape or wipe) wax up on the fingernail of your index finger, and then wipe it onto your thumb of the same hand. (Push like a bulldozer pushes up dirt.) Some customers prefer using different objects to push up the wax before putting on fingers. Find what works best for you. Rub the wax back and forth 2-3 times between your index finger and thumb. Then apply using your index finger. Or you can use both index finger and thumb if you’re trying to handlebar or want more control of where the wax is applied.

Important information

Safety Information

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep away from naked flame or direct heat sources.

Indications

Tame, train, style & control facial hair

Legal Disclaimer

Please note: If you warm the wax up in the tin, it is not necessary to rub the wax back and forth between your fingers before applying. The rubbing back and forth is to warm the wax up but is not needed if the wax is already very warmed in the tin and will actually create the opposite effect of cooling off the wax and possibly making it crumble and not go on smoothly. Make sure there is no conditioner/lanolin/balm/oil in your facial hair before you apply. Conditioning agents will prevent the wax from performing well or doing its job. You can leave conditioners in overnight, but just make sure they are washed out completely before application.

SKIP ALL THE REST, GO WITH THE BEST
5 Stars
SKIP ALL THE REST, GO WITH THE BEST
Best wax I've found, and I've tried no fewer than a dozen, many which are considered go to mustache waxes.... Take your time the first few times until you get the hang of it, and you'll likely be very happy. I have very wirey/curly facial hair that makes a decent handlebar nearly impossible. I say nearly because with this wax my handlebars stay in place. Another great thing about this wax- compared to many others, it's easy to get out, and without having to use oil to remove. Cheers and happy facial grooming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best wax! Not the strongest, but definitely the longest hold!
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021
I've tried dozens of waxes, from normal to competition-grade. The picture was taken on a day when it was 93°F. This wax isn't the strongest hold, but it is, by far, the most lasting hold wax I've come across. It's pliable enough to readjust, and fix if it gets messed up, but strong enough to retain the shape you want. The color could be a little darker, but that's personal preference, as I have very dark facial hair. There's no scent, and comes out of the can easily with your thumbnail. I heat the wax on my finger with a blow-dryer to make for easy application. Washes out with some effort. I recommend heating your moustache with a blow-dryer to pre-strip the wax before washing. Overall, this is the best wax I've ever tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great hold without being too sticky
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023
I am fairly new to the mustache game. I've never had one, and I went straight to the handlebar. So, I have tried several waxes to figure our what works for me. I have found that most are either too greasy and don't have a good hold, or they are very tacky and hard (resin...) and hard to work with without having a heat source. This one is right in the middle, and the hold is great. You don't need a heat source to get it out of the can or apply it/work with it in your 'stache. And, It doesn't take a lot of it to get a good hold. Once you get it in and let it set, it will hold all day and all night. Rarely do I reapply, but sometimes I do just to refresh it if I have messed with it. I sleep with it in, and I can still reform the mustache in the morning. It washes out easily with a good beard wash or face wash. My only wish is that it had a better smell. It's "unscented" but the ingredients do have a bit of a smell. It's not a bad smell. I just wish it was more pleasantly scented. Overall, I have tried other products prior to and since owning this one, and Firehouse is my go to. I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product! But cheaper on their website.... Also petroleum...?
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2020
Absolutely love this stuff. I'm new to the handlebar game and this is the 2nd wax I've tried. I tried honest Amish but theirs is more of a medium hold and is very soft. I originally wanted "can you handlebar" brand but Amazon was out of stock and I'm glad they were because this stuff is amazing! There is no scent other than the faint smell of the natural wax. I'll definitely be buying again when I run out. But a little goes a long way so use sparingly.
UPDATE: Ive been using this for over a month now and I've learned you can get this for $11 from their website. Also as the day goes by I find my handlebars starting to loosen up. Summer is in full swing now and 100+ temps and 70% humidity aren't treating this wax very well. Looking to supplement it with peckerhead wax which is 3 ingredients (beeswax lanolin and pine resin). The fact that firehouse uses a "petroleum" product but doesn't say exactly what it is, is kind of concerning... This stuff goes on the hair right above my mouth so it's eventually gonna get in my mouth... And I don't want to be eating anything harmful. I'd like a bit more transparency from them TBH... Secret recipe or not, I won't be using it on my upper lip hair but rather the tips of my handle bar curls from now on (unless I find a better wax like peckerhead or AJs Elixirs) still a good product tho.
