Isnt it about time we started seeing Tash/Beard pics up on here too.. - mines not quite long enough yet to get wax in, but getting there..
One little comment if i may add, the stickers would look so much better if they didnt have the 15ml bit on them, i know its just a blown up version of the tin tho..

I love this, unfortunately no facial fungus, and hair too long to use a do wax if you produce one.
But how about adding Fat Jack's range to include. Shaving soap stick. (logo on the foil wrap and but of the stick) Shaving brush (pressed metal logo in the butt end) Shaving mug. Shave oil for the modern chap. Nice simple aftershave astringent with no real scent apart possibility of some natural "flavours" like peppermint. 'Tash mug with the logo for drinking from. Small shaving towel with the logo embroidered on (maybe get a few test pieces done at the local golf shop). Mouse mate to go with the Mustache brand.
Hope these are helpful, would love to see you as a business magnate.

Sorry if this has been said before (didn't have time to read thru the whole thread) but the beard/tash thing is big in Germany (tons of clubs there), it might be worthwhile aiming at that market as well.
I'd love a couple of stickers to go on my retromobiles if possible. Good luck with it all.

Cheers guys. I'm going slowly with the expansion, over 250 sales already though! I'm desperately trying to get the moustache combs sorted, along with a few other treats. New tin stickers are here, looking ace. Going to be sitting down with a few graphic designer friends of mine to start early on the Movember sales blitz. Ken, drop me a PM, I'll see what I can do for you.

Finally got my tin of tash wax today! For some reason I can get stuff shipped from the US, Hong Kong or India within a week, but Royal Mail is always two weeks! Anyway, I've tried it out. Bear in mind that I'm a complete amateur and have never tried this before. Enjoy the before/during/after pics! Half way through! Unfortunately it's a rainy Wednesday night with a lot of study to do, so the ladies will have to wait! ;D I'll have to work on my styling technique, but there's definitely nothing wrong with the product. If I get good enough at it, perhaps the beard will have to go to make way for the moustache to stand on it's own! Not 100% sure on this yet with an orange moustache. Come on then everyone, let's see yours!

Sterling business idea. I do hope you expand into other products and fragrances. I'm not having much luck finding the fragrances I've been after for waxes and shaving soaps and having to put up with some pretty generic stuff. If you ever produce a violet, sandlewood, lavender or clove scented wax I'd be very interested, not the usual fragrances I know, but it's what I like and what suits me. I'm likely to get a tin of plain wax from you in the near future.

I'm going to be sitting down in the next fortnight and planning the next 6 months.
I don't want to over complicate the scent range, but I definately need to crack on with the testing of future fragrances. Also need to sort out the combs (still), and any other potential merchandise.
I've had over £1k in sales in the last 8 weeks, and am happy to invest reasonable money so long as the customers keep giving me good feedback and it keeps selling.

I'd be interested in getting another tin with a different fragrance. I'm not that crazy about mint, but I would certainly look at other 'flavours'.
Just for your 'market demographic' type information, I do also use shaving soap/brush/double-edged razor for shaving, so I would probably be interested in shaving soaps in future, although I've got enough at the moment to last me for a good while.

if youre open to suggestion, in terms of growth the best thing to do is to push a good product rather than create a batch of new ones. Get your tash wax in barbers/stores and increase your sales.
spend your time pushing that and when its established make up new variations. otherwise you will have loads of distracted products floating about rather than a solid distribution and customer base.

@fat Jack, get yourself a Facebook/Twitter page set up for the brand and I will do my bit bandying it about on the various goth/steampunk sites and pages I frequent and spam it through my personal and business Twitters through the usual #ff tag.
Quite a few people I know of the hairy faced persuasion would certainly be interested in buying and following your exploits as the business grows.
I second Clove as a scent. Almond would be nice but might run into nut allergy issues.

More fun with moustaches today. The beard is getting a lot more serious now! I'm contemplating trimming it with clippers, just to neaten it up. What do people think?

Cheers for all the tips and suggestions guys. I've got a twitter account - I'm no social media guru, so whether my behaviour on there is suitable/silly then god knows - I don't do anything personal on the account, its all moustache based. twitter.com/FatJacksTashWaxI also have a Facebook page.. again, lighthearted stuff, nothing heavy! www.facebook.com/FatJacksTashWaxWaveman dude - I'd consider beard trimmers, or even proper clippers with whatever grade you want to trim it down to. Looks epic though!

I normally sport a beard of some kind, however, I am now growing a "wild" beard (no trimming allowed) for Macmillan and The Royal Berkshire Hospital whilst my brother is going through chemo. We have been growing for 8 weeks (as of tomorrow) and its time to start waxing! my other brother is also doing it so for his birthday I thought I would get him a pot! Order placed for a double unscented! Looking forward to trying it out!
