Death Grip Wax – Uncompromising Hold for Exceptional Moustaches
Death Grip Wax is one of the best-known manufacturers of high-performance premium moustache waxes. The brand was founded in 2014 by US veteran Derwood Willhite and his wife Megan in Woodland Park, Colorado. Its handcrafted formulations quickly earned an excellent reputation throughout the international beard and moustache community.
Death Grip Wax has been led by Levi Harris since November 2019. He continues to develop the brand according to its original philosophy: natural ingredients, exceptional styling performance and handcrafted quality from the USA. The products are still made in small batches in Woodland Park, Colorado.
From Natural Styles to Extreme Competition Hold
Death Grip is particularly renowned for its high-performance moustache waxes. Depending on the variety, they provide medium, strong or exceptionally firm hold. The collection therefore ranges from easy-to-use waxes for natural everyday styles to uncompromising control for elaborate competition moustaches.
Products such as Bare Bones, Sudden Death, Bone Crusher and Death Grip allow users to select exactly the right level of hold. Some varieties can be applied directly, while the firmest waxes should be warmed before use. Depending on the formula, natural waxes, nourishing butters, oils and pine resin provide workability, conditioning and dependable control.
Award-Winning Performance for Competitions and Everyday Styling
Death Grip moustache waxes achieved first place at the American National Mustache Championships for three consecutive years. These awards underline the brand’s outstanding reputation among dedicated moustache enthusiasts and international competition participants.
The classic waxes contain no artificial fragrances. Their distinctive aroma comes directly from the natural raw materials, particularly beeswax, conditioning oils and the spicy, woody character of pine resin.
Whether worn as a natural moustache, a classic handlebar or an elaborate competition style, Death Grip Wax represents dependable control, exceptional hold and genuine craftsmanship from Colorado.

Death Grip Moustache Wax – Extra-Strong Hold for Demanding Moustache Styles Handcrafted moustache wax with an exceptionally strong, resinous hold for handlebar, Hungarian and competition styles. Its concentrated formula is based on beeswax, lanolin and pine rosin, with no added fragrance. This very firm wax must be softened with warm air from a hairdryer before being shaped precisely into the moustache. Includes a practical guitar-pick-shaped scraper. Made in Colorado, USA. Death Grip Moustache Wax is the original and most uncompromising formula in the American Death Grip range. It was developed for long, coarse moustaches and elaborate shapes that require considerably more control than an ordinary moustache wax can provide. The combination of tacky pine rosin, firming beeswax and pliability-enhancing lanolin produces an exceptionally strong, almost rigid hold. Death Grip is particularly suitable for tightly curled tips, long handlebar moustaches and precisely sculpted competition styles. Hold and Performance Hold: Exceptionally strong and highly rigid Finish: Natural to slightly glossy Application: Heat source or hairdryer required Fragrance: No added perfume; natural resin and wax aroma Suitable for: Long, coarse and difficult-to-shape moustaches Not ideal for: Beginners, short moustaches or flexible everyday styles Once cooled, the wax hardens and fixes the chosen shape for many hours. The manufacturer positions Death Grip as a particularly firm, competition-grade wax designed to maintain reliable control even in warm or humid conditions. Only Three Base Ingredients The formula contains no carrier oils, artificial fragrances or colourants. Beeswax provides structure, lanolin improves workability and pine rosin creates the exceptionally tacky grip. Although sold as unscented, the product is not odourless. Natural pine rosin has a distinctive resinous woodland aroma that gradually becomes less noticeable after application. The Guitar-Pick-Shaped Scraper Each tin contains a thin scraper shaped like a guitar pick. It makes the extremely firm wax easier to remove and eliminates the need to scrape it from the tin with a fingernail. The scraper can also be used to warm a small portion of wax separately before applying it directly to the moustache. The colour and design of the included accessory may vary between production batches. Directions Make sure the moustache is completely dry and comb it thoroughly. Briefly warm the closed tin with warm air from a hairdryer or remove a very small amount using the supplied scraper. Carefully soften the removed wax with warm, never hot, air. Distribute a small amount between the thumb and forefinger or apply it directly with the scraper. Work from the roots towards the tips, using additional warm air when necessary to keep the wax pliable. Distribute evenly with a fine-tooth moustache comb and shape with the fingers. Allow the wax to cool or briefly use the hairdryer’s cool setting to lock the style in place. Important: Use only a comfortably warm hairdryer setting and maintain a safe distance. Excessive heat can damage the skin and facial hair. Never force the hardened wax through the moustache without warming it first, as this may pull out hairs and cause discomfort. Removal and Washing Death Grip is considerably more persistent than an ordinary beard balm. To remove it, first massage several drops of beard oil thoroughly into the dry moustache. The oil helps soften the resin and wax. Comb through gently, then wash with warm water and a mild beard shampoo. Depending on the quantity used, a second wash may be required or a light residue may remain in the hair. Never pull at firmly bonded hairs. Those intending to restyle the moustache the following day may carefully warm a small amount of remaining wax and reshape it. Complementary Recommendation Don Draper Beard & Shave Oil is a suitable conditioning companion and can help loosen this particularly firm wax. A few drops soften the facial hair and make subsequent combing easier. After cleansing, the oil may be reapplied sparingly for daily beard care. For strong hold without the mandatory use of a hairdryer, consider Death Grip Sudden Death Moustache Wax as an easier-to-apply alternative. A traditional beard balm is more suitable for softer conditioning and flexible shaping. Skin Compatibility Pine rosin, also known as colophony, and lanolin may cause contact allergies in sensitive individuals. Patch-test a small amount on an inconspicuous area before first use. Do not apply to irritated, damaged or inflamed skin, and discontinue use if redness, burning or itching occurs. Presented in a small metal tin with a screw top. Includes a guitar-pick-shaped scraper. Handcrafted in Woodland Park, Colorado, USA. Free from added fragrance and colourants. Content: 28.3 g (1 oz) Ingredients (INCI): Cera Alba Colophonium Lanolin Pinene Beta-Caryophyllene Limonene The ingredient order and declaration printed on the individual product packaging is authoritative and may change following a formula or batch update.

Death Grip Sudden Death Moustache Wax – Strong Hold Without a Hairdryer Handcrafted moustache wax combining strong, long-lasting hold with straightforward application. Beeswax and pine rosin provide reliable grip, while shea butter and coconut oil make the wax pliable enough to work using finger heat alone. Free from added fragrance, essential oils and synthetic fillers. Made in Colorado, USA. Death Grip Sudden Death Moustache Wax bridges the gap between an ordinary flexible moustache wax and the extremely firm Original Death Grip. It delivers strong everyday hold while remaining easy to apply directly from the tin without a hairdryer or other external heat source. Its slightly tacky, pliable texture softens with the warmth of the fingers. This makes Sudden Death suitable for anyone who finds Original Death Grip too demanding or rigid but still wants considerably more control than a beard balm can provide. Strong Hold Without an External Heat Source According to the manufacturer, Sudden Death can provide up to eight hours of hold, although actual performance depends on hair texture, product quantity, style and weather conditions. Its resinous grip controls stray hairs, supports clearly defined shapes and can be strengthened by applying several thin layers. Hold: Strong and long-lasting Flexibility: Firm but less rigid than Original Death Grip Application: Softens with finger heat; no hairdryer required Finish: Natural to slightly glossy Fragrance: Unscented, with the natural aroma of its raw ingredients Suitable for: Everyday wear, Chevron, English and moderate handlebar styles Original Death Grip provides greater rigidity for extreme competition shapes or particularly coarse facial hair. Sudden Death is quicker to use, more forgiving and described by the manufacturer as the most beginner-friendly option in the range. Four Natural Base Ingredients The formula is based on four principal ingredients: beeswax, pine rosin, coconut oil and shea butter. No additional perfume, essential oils or colourants are used. Beeswax: Gives the moustache structure and supports fixation. Pine rosin: Creates the characteristic tacky grip and improves resistance to wind and humidity. Shea butter: Makes the firm wax more pliable and easier to distribute. Coconut oil: Supports smooth application and conditions the facial hair. “Unscented” does not mean completely odourless. Beeswax, pine rosin, shea butter and coconut oil have their own natural aroma. It smells mildly resinous and waxy and generally becomes less noticeable shortly after application. Which Moustache Styles Suit Sudden Death? Full Chevron moustaches requiring controlled definition Classic English moustaches with outward-shaped tips Moderate handlebar and curled styles Controlling coarse or stray moustache hairs Anyone seeking strong hold without using a hairdryer Travel and quick corrections during the day Directions Clean, completely dry and comb the moustache. Damp facial hair can significantly reduce the hold. Use the thumbnail or supplied scraper to remove a very small amount. Rub the wax between the thumb and forefinger for approximately 30 to 60 seconds until soft and evenly spreadable. Work from the centre of the moustache outwards, keeping excessive product away from the skin. Distribute evenly with a fine-tooth moustache comb and shape with the fingers. For greater hold, apply a second thin layer instead of using one large amount. If pale residue or small flakes appear, the wax was generally not warmed long enough between the fingers or was applied too heavily. Rub it in again, comb through and continue with a smaller amount. Removal and Washing Pine rosin makes Sudden Death more persistent than an ordinary beard balm. For gentle removal in the evening, massage several drops of beard oil into the dry moustache and allow it to work for 30 to 60 seconds. Loosen the wax carefully with a fine comb, then wipe with a warm damp cloth or wash with a mild beard shampoo. The manufacturer recommends removing the wax before going to sleep. This prevents unnecessary buildup on the hair and skin and reduces the risk of brittle facial hair or irritation. Complementary Recommendations Don Draper Beard & Shave Oil is particularly useful as complementary evening care. A few drops help loosen the resinous wax, make combing easier and leave the moustache and underlying skin feeling supple. For maximum rigidity in extreme handlebar, Imperial or competition styles, choose Original Death Grip Moustache Wax. It is significantly firmer but requires a hairdryer for application. For less hold and greater conditioning, a traditional beard balm is the more suitable option. About Death Grip Wax Death Grip Wax makes its moustache waxes in small batches in Woodland Park, Colorado. The brand is known for natural resin-based formulas and exceptionally high-performance styling waxes. Sudden Death was developed as the more accessible alternative to the extremely firm original and is positioned by the manufacturer as a competition-grade wax with dependable everyday hold. Skin Compatibility Pine rosin, also known as colophony, may cause contact allergies in sensitive individuals. Patch-test a small amount on an inconspicuous area before first use. Do not use if you have a known pine or colophony allergy. Do not apply to irritated, damaged or inflamed skin, and discontinue use if redness, burning or itching occurs. Presented in a gold-coloured metal tin with a screw top. Includes a practical guitar-pick-shaped scraper. Handcrafted in Woodland Park, Colorado, USA. Made with natural, cruelty-free ingredients.

Death Grip Bone Crusher Moustache Wax – Extra-Firm Hold for Extreme Moustache Styles Handcrafted moustache wax delivering extra-strong, exceptionally firm hold for demanding handlebar, English, Imperial and Dalí styles. Beeswax, candelilla wax and pine rosin provide powerful fixation, while shea butter and lanolin support application. This very firm wax must be softened with warm air from a hairdryer before use. No added fragrance. Made in Colorado, USA. Death Grip Bone Crusher Moustache Wax is a particularly firm, competition-grade wax for long, coarse moustaches and elaborately shaped tips. Its highly waxy formula provides greater rigidity than Sudden Death while having a less tacky, resin-heavy character than Original Death Grip. Bone Crusher is therefore suited to anyone seeking a very firm and clearly defined moustache without the intensely sticky feel of the original. Once cooled, the wax sets firmly and maintains the chosen shape for many hours. Extra-Strong and Extra-Firm Hold The manufacturer classifies Bone Crusher as Extra Strong and Extra Firm. Plant-derived candelilla wax notably increases rigidity and supports sharply curled or widely extended moustache tips. Hold: Extra strong and extra firm Texture: Firm, waxy and slightly tacky Finish: Natural to slightly glossy Application: Hairdryer or comparable controlled heat source required Fragrance: Unscented, with the natural aroma of wax and resin Suitable for: Coarse moustaches and demanding sculpted shapes According to the manufacturer, the formula provides reliable hold in varying weather conditions, including heat, cold, wind and increased humidity. Actual performance depends on facial-hair texture, product quantity, styling technique and environment. Heat Is Required for Application Bone Crusher is extremely firm in the tin. The current manufacturer instructions recommend warming the wax with a hairdryer before scooping and applying it. Heat makes the formula pliable and helps prevent uncomfortable pulling or the removal of individual hairs. A trouser pocket or warm hands may provide some preliminary softening, but may not fully replace a hairdryer in cooler temperatures or with a particularly firm batch. For safety, avoid radiators, open flames and other poorly controlled heat sources. Five Natural Base Ingredients Bone Crusher is based on beeswax, candelilla wax, shea butter, lanolin and pine rosin. This combination delivers rigid fixation with somewhat smoother application than the more resin-heavy Original Death Grip. Beeswax: Gives the moustache structure and natural hold. Candelilla wax: Increases hardness and supports particularly rigid tips. Shea butter: Improves distribution and helps counteract a brittle feel. Lanolin: Supports suppleness and workability. Pine rosin: Creates additional grip and improves fixation. The wax contains no added perfume or essential fragrance oils. It is nevertheless not completely odourless: pine rosin, lanolin and the waxes have a natural resinous and waxy aroma that gradually becomes less noticeable after application. Which Death Grip Wax Is Right for You? Sudden Death: Strong hold, activated by finger heat and the easiest formula to apply. Bone Crusher: Extra-strong, particularly waxy and rigid hold; hairdryer required. Original Death Grip: Maximum resinous, tacky and nearly unyielding hold; hairdryer required. Bone Crusher is therefore the appropriate choice for anyone needing more rigidity than Sudden Death but preferring a traditionally waxier texture to Original Death Grip. Suitable Moustache Styles Handlebar moustaches with tightly curled ends English moustaches with straight, outward-shaped tips Imperial styles with a broad upward sweep Dalí styles and exceptionally narrow, upright points Competition, photographic and stage styles Coarse or difficult-to-control moustache hair Directions Clean, completely dry and thoroughly comb the moustache. Carefully warm the tin using warm, never hot, air from a hairdryer. Remove a very small amount with the supplied scraper or the back of the thumbnail. Rub the wax between the thumb and forefinger and briefly warm it again if necessary. Work from the centre of the moustache outwards, distributing the wax evenly into the tips. Comb through with a fine-tooth moustache comb and shape with the fingers. Allow the wax to cool or briefly use the hairdryer’s cool setting to lock the shape in place. Use only a comfortably warm hairdryer setting and maintain a safe distance. Excessive temperature can damage the skin and facial hair. For additional hold, apply a second thin layer instead of using one large amount immediately. Removal and Washing Bone Crusher adheres much more strongly than an ordinary beard balm. For gentle removal, massage several drops of beard oil into the dry moustache and allow it to work for approximately 30 to 60 seconds. Carefully comb out the softened wax, then remove it with a warm damp cloth or mild beard shampoo. Two washes may be required depending on the amount used. Never pull at hardened or bonded hairs. The manufacturer recommends removing moustache wax before sleeping to prevent buildup, brittle hair and skin irritation. Complementary Recommendation Don Draper Beard & Shave Oil is an excellent conditioning companion and removal aid. A few drops loosen the waxy and resinous layer, make combing easier and condition both the moustache and underlying skin. Use a fine-tooth moustache comb for even distribution. The Don Draper Beard Brush with Handle can be used for grooming the rest of the beard, although it should not be pulled through moustache tips that have already been firmly fixed. Guitar-Pick-Shaped Scraper Each tin includes a thin scraper shaped like a guitar pick. It makes the firm wax easier and cleaner to remove than using a fingernail. The design and colour of the included accessory may vary between production batches. Skin Compatibility Pine rosin, also known as colophony, and lanolin may cause contact allergies in sensitive individuals. Patch-test a small amount on an inconspicuous area before first use. Do not use if you have a known pine, colophony or lanolin allergy. Do not apply to irritated, damaged or inflamed skin. Presented in a gold-coloured metal tin with a screw top.

Death Grip Bare Bones Moustache Wax – Natural Medium Hold for Everyday Styles Handcrafted moustache wax with medium hold for natural shapes and a subtle curl. Its formula of beeswax, pine rosin, lanolin, jojoba oil, coconut oil and shea butter can be applied without a hair dryer while conditioning the moustache hair. No added fragrance or essential oils. Includes a practical wax pick. Handmade in Colorado, USA. Death Grip Bare Bones Moustache Wax is the straightforward choice within Death Grip’s high-performance range. It provides a reliable medium, flexible hold and is particularly well suited to natural moustache shapes, shorter moustaches and everyday grooming. Unlike Death Grip’s firmest waxes, Bare Bones does not require heating with a hair dryer. The warmth of the fingers is sufficient to soften a small amount and distribute it evenly through the moustache. It tames stray hairs while keeping the style natural and easy to reshape. Medium hold for natural moustache styles Bare Bones controls the moustache without making it feel rigid or immovable. It supports a natural sweep, directs the hairs into a neat shape and is an excellent choice for understated everyday styles. Medium, flexible hold Ideal for short to medium-length moustaches Suitable for natural shapes and a subtle curl Well suited to English, Walrus and Pencil styles No hair dryer or other preheating required Easy to reshape throughout the day For sharply twisted Handlebar, Imperial or Dalí styles, choose one of the stronger waxes in the Death Grip range. Six natural base ingredients The concise formula combines shaping waxes and resin with rich conditioning oils: Beeswax: Gives the moustache shape and a smooth, flexible hold. Pine rosin: Improves grip and supports lasting control. Lanolin: Conditions dry moustache hair and helps maintain suppleness. Jojoba oil: Spreads evenly and conditions both hair and skin. Coconut oil: Supports smooth application and a natural sheen. Shea butter: Helps make coarse or dry moustache hair softer and easier to shape. The natural aroma Bare Bones is unscented and contains no added fragrance or essential oils. Only the natural aroma of its raw ingredients is perceptible: mild beeswax, spicy pine rosin and a subtle hint of coconut. This natural scent gradually fades into the background after application. Which Death Grip wax should I choose? Bare Bones: Medium, flexible hold for natural everyday styles and shorter moustaches. Sudden Death: Strong hold with easy application and no hair dryer required. Bone Crusher: Very firm hold for pronounced shapes; warming the wax makes application easier. Death Grip Original: Extremely strong, resinous hold for uncompromising styles; application with a hair dryer is recommended. Application Apply the wax to a completely clean and dry moustache. Use the included wax pick or the back of your thumbnail to remove a small amount. Warm and rub the wax between your thumb and index finger for 30 to 60 seconds. Work it evenly through the moustache from the centre towards the ends. Distribute it with a fine moustache comb and shape with your fingers. If more hold is required, gradually add another small amount. Tip: Start sparingly. Several thin layers are easier to distribute and produce a more natural result than one large amount. Removal and washing Death Grip recommends removing the wax completely from the moustache at night. Massage in a few drops of beard oil and allow it to work for approximately 30 to 60 seconds. Wipe away the softened wax with a warm, damp cloth and wash with a mild beard shampoo if required. Don Draper Beard & Shave Oil makes a useful complementary conditioning oil: it helps loosen remaining wax and conditions the moustache after washing. A fine moustache comb is also recommended for even distribution. Practical wax pick included Each tin includes a thin scraper shaped like a guitar pick. It makes clean removal easier and prevents firm wax from collecting beneath the fingernail. The compact screw-top tin fits comfortably in a jacket or trouser pocket, making it convenient for travel and touch-ups. Information for sensitive skin The pine rosin, also known as colophony, and lanolin may cause contact allergies in sensitive individuals. Do not use if you have a known allergy to pine rosin, colophony or lanolin. If unsure, test a small amount on an inconspicuous area of skin before use. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Handcrafted moustache wax with medium hold. No added fragrance, essential oils, colourants or preservatives.
