Petal Pusher Fancies Vegan Soy-Free Dandy Candy Moustache Wax

A little over a month ago I introduced you to an excellent moustache wax in Petal Pusher Fancies Vegan Dandy Candy Moustache Wax.  Unfortunately that tin of wax had a terminal encounter with a 90 degree day in sunny California but there’s no time for long goodbyes in the world of handlebars.  Today I have the distinct pleasure to introduce to you, drum roll please, Petal Pusher Fancies Vegan Soy-Free Dandy Candy Moustache Wax!
