Talk:Brylcreem

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Notable people who have used Brylcreem[edit]

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

Another Jingle[edit]

I recall the following additional jingle, probably from the 1970's: Bryl-creem, a little dab'll do ya, for men who use their heads about their hair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.79.191.211 (talk) 04:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brylcreem, a little dab'l do ya,

Brylcreem, you'll look so debonair,

Brylcreen, the gals will all pursue ya,

Simply rub a little in your hair.

Adding photo?[edit]

I'm thinking of adding a photo of a tube of Brylcreem. Would this be a problem or would fair use be in play? Surv1v4l1st ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 19:19, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I went ahead and added one. Surv1v4l1st ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 17:24, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And it is gone. Any reason why adding a pic of the ubiquitous tube is an issue? --Surv1v4l1st ^{╠Talk║Contribs╣} 21:03, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I Came Back[edit]

I recall a TV campaign (1968) to win men away from the Hippie, long-dry-tresses look, to deprecate the unfashionable 'greasy kid-stuff' taunt, and persuade boys to once again use Brylcreem. The slogan was 'I came back' and there were various brief 'testimonials' from rather square-looking guys of the short-back-and-sides he-man type, saying one after the other 'I came back'. This sequence ended with a pretty young woman of the non-Hippie variety, the full skirt and Hush-Puppies type of clean-living lass, running her fingers through the last fellow's hair and saying 'And I'm GLAD he did.' Message: smear on our shiny gunk and the girls will flock.

Indonesia[edit]

I use brylcreem daily. In the past year it had out of stock for weeks on end. On my most recent pot, there was a little piece of tape. When i removed it, i found the words made in Indonesia underneath. So I'm guessing they relocated their factory again. Previously it had been moved from England to Indonesia. No official news about it though. PizzaMan (talk) 09:06, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
