Royal Crown Pomade is shiner than Brylcreem, but has a better hold.

Back in those days, greasy and shiny really mostly meant that patent-leather shine you'd see on a lot of guys during the 1910s and the 1920s. Brylcreem is supposed to be a lighter-hold than a heavier pomade like Royal Crown, but it has less shine, and it is easier to clean off your hair during a shower. Groom & Clean, which was invented in the mid-1960s (very late in the game for old school hair cream/pomade products), is a good proto-gel without a crunchy hold, and it is an even less shiny alternative to Brylcreem, but holds just as well if not better. It has a kind of pumpkin spice scent to it, whereas Brylcreem smells more like a flower, the plumeria, I think.
