Murray’s Superior Pomade – The World-Famous Classic in the “100 Years” Design The legendary Murray’s Superior Hair Dressing Pomade in the new “100 Years” design. Since 1926, this American classic has stood for very strong hold, subtle shine and unmistakable barbershop character. Its traditional formula with only a few ingredients controls even thick, curly and unruly hair. Made in the USA by Murray’s – one of the world’s best-known pomade brands. Few hair pomades have influenced the history of classic men’s hairstyles as profoundly as Murray’s Superior Hair Dressing Pomade. Since its introduction in 1926, it has become one of the world’s best-known oil-based pomades. The new “100 Years” design celebrates a century of pomade history and gives the legendary tin a special collectable character. The secret of its success is as simple as it is effective: an exceptionally firm and economical pomade that reliably controls even difficult-to-manage hair. As only a small amount is required, one tin can last for a particularly long time when used sparingly. Hold, Shine and Finish Hold: very strong Shine: low to satin Finish: classic, controlled and flexible Scent: warm, mild and subtly sweet Very Strong Hold Without Hardening Murray’s Superior provides a very strong, long-lasting hold without hardening the hair completely. It reliably controls thick, curly or unruly hair and helps create clearly defined shapes. Unlike gel pomades, the hairstyle remains flexible and can be reshaped at any time with a comb or brush. The hold can be built gradually by applying several small amounts of product. Classic Shine and a Controlled Finish The pomade gives the hair a subtle satin shine that looks polished and emphasises the classic character of the hairstyle. Its shine is more restrained than that of a soft pomade, as Murray’s Superior focuses primarily on hold and control. Murray’s Superior is particularly suitable for: Pompadours: for plenty of volume and dependable stability Slick backs: for a smooth and controlled shape Executive contours: for classic barber styles with a clean silhouette Side parts: for precise lines and long-lasting definition Rockabilly hairstyles: for traditional styles with an authentic pomade finish Thick or curly hair: for particularly strong control Ideal as a Base Pomade Many pomade enthusiasts use Murray’s Superior as a base pomade. Its strong hold provides a stable foundation that can then be combined with a softer pomade. For additional shine or a smoother surface, apply a small amount of Don Draper Men’s Pomade, Sweet Georgia Brown, Murray’s Super Light or Murray’s Hair-Glo over the finished hairstyle. Consistency and Application The honey-coloured Murray’s Superior has an exceptionally firm and slightly sticky consistency. Some pressure is required to scoop it from the tin. The warmth generated between the palms makes the pomade more pliable and easier to distribute through the hair. For even application, begin with a very small amount. Rub it thoroughly between your hands and work it through the hair from the roots to the ends. Add further small amounts gradually if required. The Scent The fragrance of Murray’s Superior is as distinctive as its hold. It is classic, warm and subtly sweet. Many users notice nuances reminiscent of vanilla, caramel and lightly powdery barbershop notes. The scent remains pleasantly understated in the hair and combines well with an aftershave or fragrance. Application Remove a small amount from the tin with your finger and rub it thoroughly between your palms until the pomade becomes slightly more pliable. Work it evenly through dry or slightly damp hair. Applied to dry hair, Murray’s Superior develops its strongest hold. In slightly damp hair, it spreads more easily and produces a little more shine. Shape the desired hairstyle with a sturdy comb or hairbrush. For very thick hair, the closed tin or the removed amount of product can be warmed carefully with a hairdryer before application. Buildup and Restyling Murray’s Superior is ideal for creating a traditional pomade buildup. Some of the product remains in the hair after washing and provides a stable foundation for styling the following day. A little water or a few splashes of hair tonic are often enough to refresh the hairstyle. The hair can then be recombed and finished with a small amount of fresh pomade if required. Washing Out As a traditional oil-based pomade, Murray’s Superior cannot be removed completely with water alone. Thorough removal usually requires several washes with a deeply cleansing shampoo or a dedicated degreasing shampoo. Many traditional pomade enthusiasts deliberately leave some product in the hair and use the remaining buildup for quicker and more stable styling over the following days.
