Ok a quick disclosure upfront. My mo is just 4 months old and I'm still on the learning curve. Captain Fawcett is my 2nd wax. Its a quality product, nicely packaged, and light on scent.
That was my issue with the 1st wax. Heavy coconut overtones right next to one's nose - what were they thinking! Anyway I digress.
The Captains's Expedition strength does indeed require more finger rubbing, but the hold is great. And it's easy if you keep the tin in your pocket as they recommend. Unfortunately after 2 hours of smiling or talking those pesky whiskers still head south into cappuccino froth.
Maybe I need to put more on. Not sure yet but it means I'm still needing to reapply frequently through the day.
Maybe in time as the whiskers get longer the issue will sort itself out. We shall see!
