Hair pomade

Did a pomade inventory today and here is my current collection of 22 pomades.

It's various brands, types which include water based, unorthodox water based, oil based and clay pomades.

I use pomade daily and my use will vary on time of year, hair length and just general mood.

I'll finish several jars in a year so this came just after a very large restock of my collection.

My collection isn't that bad that's like average for pomade guys. A group I'm in on Facebook a thread going on where people are showing off their collections and there are a few guys well over the 100 can mark and one guy pushing 500 which is just insanity lol.

Really!? I have 2, Suavecito and Uppercut, I prefer the Uppercut, but Suavecito is serviceable!

I use different products depending on my hair length, weather, mood, what I'm doing that week, etc. It's just like shave gear just different.
Likewise. At the moment I have 4 Reuzels - all different. A use of particular one depends primarily on the length. After that depending on for which occasion am I getting ready.
With 4 I think I cover all my needs :)

Any recommendations for what to replace with the Uppercut or Suavecito with...
I think I'd prefer something with a little more sheen. It must be water based.

Not sure where you're located but that can change how easy it is to get certain pomades.

But I'd say:
* Shear Revival - Crystal Lake.
* Flagship - Blackship
* O'Douds' - Multi Purpose
* Nostalgic Grooming - Medium WB

Those are all unorthodox water based with a medium to firm hold and medium to high shine. The only one that takes a bit of extra effort to wash out is the Blackship just cause of the wax in there.

If you're curious about what I mean for unorthodox water based is that they're water based but look and act like oil based. Some do have some oil/butter in them but it's like castor oil, shea butter, mango butter, avocado butter/oil, lanolin. These actually leave the hair looking and feeling better and kinda why I'm switching to unorthodox water based, oil based pomades and clays to my normal rotation.

It looks like I will struggle to get those in the UK :(

Reuzel Blue or Red.
Red has a bit more sheen but a medium hold.
I have looked at those in the past, so may give them a go this time..

I've tried Reuzel's suggestion off their site of putting in their Matte; then hitting it with some of their Red (and I use the Blue this way too). It's pretty good for work. Good hold with a enough sheen for me during working hours. Plus, the vids on their site are a bit comical.
