When I started experimenting with pomades, some years ago, I've bought two cans of Suavecito Firme Hold (due to the hype) and a can of Murray's La-Em Strait, both water-based. (And a can of Layrite Cement, which ended in the trash can, after a few uses). From the very beginning, they were like hardened gel. It was (and still is) impossible to properly break them in between the palms, like you do with an oil-based pomade. When you rub them between the palms, the consistency is like a chewed...chewing gum. No matter what I do, I have some smeared hardened gel. Putting this mess into hair, there's a lot of tugging and pulling and one have to overcomb his hair to finally manage to distribute the "pomade" evenly. Needless to say the hair looks ridiculous, glued together like a swimming cap. The only option is to glue this mess onto the scalp as tight as possible, to avoid rebel strands popping up like straw, doing either a slickback or a side part.
Meanwhile I switched to OB pomades. Night and day difference. I already have to much OB pomades, so I can live without the aforementioned pomades. But, out of curiosity, what would you do if you'd be in this situation? Warming them is nonsense, they're doesn't contain any petrolatum, vaseline, lanoline or other oils.
