Ugh it was horrible stuff, Brylcreme. It was like today's gel but greasy.
My dad used it until the early 70s. He, like me (I inherited it from him), had gone grey at a very early age and he used to flatten his hair down with the stuff. In the 70s, when he was in his 60s, longer hair became fashionable and he stopped using it - to find his hair was white and thick and curled in the nape of his neck.
Chuck it away, Steeljack. Who wants to run their fingers through a head full of lard?
