JS Sloane brilliantine and shampoo
The quest for the perfect grooming product, and a passion for all things distinguished and refined, led to Joann Kuno and Smutty Smiff to create JS Sloane Co. Friends since the late 80s, the pair bonded over a shared love of Hollywood’s golden era and the distinguished and dashing leading men of the silver screen.
The JS Sloane range now includes two different shampoos as well. As usual, the packaging is superb. It's not a glass bottle but it will look great on your bathroom shelf.

Madame Belva's Hair-Rep
From the information we have found, there was an application made to trademark this pomade back in March, 1941. So it seems this has been around for a while. These days it's brought to you by J. Strickland, who also make Blue Magic.
A light hair dressing in a rather fetching can, in the style of a paint tin. Madame Belva's Hair-Rep is available from Sivletto.
