Pomade with the most SHINE!

I currently use Black & White. Any recommendations for something with more shine? I don't really like the water based pomade as much even though my girlfriend hates the greasy pillow case.

Pomade i have used:
Royal Crown (good amount of shine)
Suavecito (not much shine and water based)
Hawleywoods (see above)

Im not sure about the shine (its one thing i dont look into) but the Imperial Barber Supply Co has a variety of water based pomade, wax, etc.
 
I think you'll find most water based pomades don't have a lot of shine. From what I understand the lighter hold pomades stand to have more shine. A friend of mine uses Schmiere Weich and gets a super shine. He has very thin hair though so the light hold of the Weich works well for him.

1. Royal Crown Hairdressing
2. Murrays Super Light
3. American Greaser Supply 40 Weight
4. Murrays Hair Glo.

These are the shiniest I have used, and they all will leave pillow case stains...
 
I don't like the water based stuff nor do I care if my pillow is greasy. I guess ill pick up a can or 2 of royal crown when i come back to the states in December. Thanks guys!
 
Royal crown does have great shine but it is rather light weight. I keep it in the cabinet specifically for the shine properties but will usually only use it on the sides, just for the shine.
 
Murrays Super Light has a lot of shine, kinda smell like sugar cookies to me..maybe im wierd. or try Tres Flores brillantine, super greasy and super shiny, smell like flowers....my mom says its smell like a funeral home, haha, i dig it. and TF is about $3 at walmart in the shaving section.
 
Ive got curly hair and never had a problem with the Royal Crown hold but if i sweat too much and move too much (ie playing concerts) my pompadour would be to curly to get back in place. I actually have 1 full 200ml tub of Black and White and a 75% full tub i need to work through.
