    Is it bad I don’t know what briolin is?.. The wax percents seem really high for ceresin, beeswax, and even carnauba. Honestly try cutting them each down by almost half and see what consistency you get then

    @EVchem, Thanks for the answer, I’ll try and tell you what I get. And on what i must change bees wax, vaseline? Briolin, as I understand it, is an oily base, a lipstick for styling.

    oh a pomade! 

    try carnauba closer to 3% first
    cut beeswax down to 10%, replace that with petrolatum
     I would say try those two things, or just one at a time, and compare to your previous attempts

    @EVchem i’ll i’l make like you tell, consistens is more better, but the level of fixation is minimal, how can I increase the fixation, thanks for any help.
