I got the product and it has a black plastic top, not silver metal as shown. Is it the real deal?

You can check imperial pomade website, the new version has black top. Amazon is not updating the picture. If you receive the version with silver top the product inside will be older. All new imperial pomades cans now have black lid.

Yes, it is the real deal. We buy directly from the manufacturer, Imperial Barber. You can contact them to confirm this.

That's what I got. Seems to work just fine. If you find out it is indeed a knock-off, just return it to Amazon and tell them it was not as stated in the product description.

Glad you asked that. I was pissed to open the box and it was chrome outer with black on the middle. Nothing like the picture. If you want I could email you a pic.

We have the all black version and it is hard to tell whether it is wood or plastic. I believe it is the former with a matte finish. It is not metal.

Sorry for the long response time, I just looked at it and it seems to be the same "metal" as the old one. I ordered this for my daughter before xmas but managed to find a loose screw in the HDD when I opened it up. It's still working right now so the parts I ordered are kinda just in "limbo" for now. I will update how the install went once I do it. Hope this helps!

It appears that it is metal, but it's sealed in the box and I don't want to open it to ruin the package. Any other questions?

It's black. Base is hollow metal tube. We haven't had ours for long and already top is bubbling up. Hope to be able to replace with solid metal.

There isn't really a black strip--I think it's an optical illusion produced by the picture. That's just the seam in the metal. The only black plastic on it is the rim around the top.

My first order was consistent of a plastic material on the external shell. I recently ordered a replacement and it is aluminum with black paint. So I am seriously beginning to wonder myself as well.

I bought mine a year or so ago and looks like the real thing to me. I'm completely happy with my purchase. Good luck with your decision.

The one I got was not. I see some have complained about the black and I checked. I have had no problems at all.

I was confused about that on the red one I ordered. Different product number, so no guarantee, but mine arrived with the newer black top design.

I got a fake sold by Broder Scope, fulfilled by Amazon. What I got: Plain Brown boxSmooth glass containerNo lid for hopperGrinder gears look like white plasticCheap paint brush thingReturned to Amazon and I got full refund. I am going to purchase the one sold directly by Amazon now that I see it its only a dollar and change more. Will be worth it to get the real item and save me the hassle of having to deal with returning, getting refunded, reordering, and waiting for shipping again.

There are two plastic clips that hold it on. They are black not blue like in the photo. The clips didn't seem so bad but...everything about the top is plastic.

I think the product is made of plastic. It sounds like plastic. Even the part which looks metal is made of plastic painted steel color. It works OK whether or not it is plastic or metal.

The one I got was a bit darker than the one pictured, but I rather thought it looked more authentic that way. Otherwise, yes, same item as pictured.

It looks genuine, mine is only marked on the plastic cap. If the cap is missing or replace, there are no other markings.
