Talk:Brylcreem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's refered to in the past--Sicamous 19:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)--Sicamous 19:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC) tense, but the combe.com site seems to imply it is still made. If it is no longer being produced, can someone find the date of it's demise, or otherwise confirm its continued existance? Wondering simply, -- Infrogmation 13:34, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It is still available for purchase . . . note links added 3 April 2005. AnDrew McKenzie 23:04, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

I've done a major re-edit to remove stuff like "Brylcreem is a perfect choice for achieving today's hair styling options" that looks as if it came straight out of the Brylcreem marketing department. On one specific factual point: "Brylcreem was the first mass-marketed men's hair care product". Nope. See Macassar Oil ( [1] [2]). RayGirvan 10:44, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Addendum: re Flintstone citation. Agreed. Plenty of websites repeat the claim, but I can't find any objective evidence for it. Furthest back I can track it is to an unsubstantiated statement in this article. Trussst no-one.RayGirvan 11:43, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

-- Why must an intrinsically clean article contain profanity?

What evidence exists that Carr Grant's hair was styled with Brylcreem in that picture? It could've been style with anything from vaseline to pomade to wild root.

Carey Grant was a vorasious Brylcreem user, the picture is from a collection called Brylkeen --Sicamous 19:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable people who have used Brylcreem

Shouldn't we have a section on notable users of Brylcreem, because I can think of loads George Formby, John Cleese (When he had hair) and so on and so forth-GeorgeFormby1
