One of our most popular grooming brands is Australian brand Uppercut. Born in the minds of childhood friends Luke Newman and Steve Burell. The brand takes inspiration from the classic barbershops of the 1950s and tailors it for modern grooming needs. Created out of frustration that grooming products seemed to be aimed soled at woman they wanted to create a product that men would be proud to have in their bathroom cabinet. Working with a chemist for over a year they were able to create their first product the iconic 'Deluxe Pomade' and from their the brand has gone on to create products for every need; from essentials such as shampoo to more specialised products like moustache wax. Uppercut is still growing massively worldwide and is one of our best selling grooming brands. Browse the full collection instore or online at Fat Buddha here .
