par·a·dox
/ˈperəˌdäks/ noun A situation, person, or thing that combines contradictory features or qualities.
Some things shouldn’t work—but somehow, they do. Behold the Paradox! is where nostalgia meets innovation, bringing the whimsical scent of Behold the Whatsis! to the performance-driven formula of Paradox Pomade.
Lockhart's has teamed up with the legendary team at Barrister And Mann to bring the magical "Behold The Whatsis!" fragrance to all of you! A cult classic beloved by many.
This firm-holding, water-based pomade delivers all-day hold, high shine, and flexibility, without the crunch or stiffness of traditional water-based pomades. Infused with natural ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil, and rosemary leaf extract, it nourishes and hydrates your hair, keeping it strong, healthy, and effortlessly styled.
And the scent? Pure childhood nostalgia. A sprightly blend of grapefruit, rose, tangerines, sugar cookies, and dryer-warm blankets, it’s fresh, fun, and unforgettable—just like the stories that shaped us.
Children’s authors like Dr. Seuss (who would be 121 years old this year), Shel Silverstein, and Beatrix Potter shaped the way we see the world. Their stories taught us right from wrong, filled our imaginations, and gave us memories we carry for a lifetime. Few can forget the lessons of The Lorax or the whimsical worlds they created, which we, in turn, share with the next generation.
It’s a paradox. It’s a throwback. It’s something completely new. Behold the Paradox!

Water-based products wash out easily with just water, give a lighter feel, and typically provide a cleaner, more natural finish. Oil-based products are thicker, longer-lasting, and give you that old-school grip and shine, but they’ll take a bit more effort (and shampoo) to remove. One's for convenience, the other's for commitment.
Most likely YES! If you're able to see products on your screen that means that 99.9% of the time we are able to ship to your location.
However, some products we can't ship internationally (like our EDP Colognes). Because of this we use tools to only show you products that we can ship to your location, so if you can see it, you can buy it!
