I like the UK Brylcreem but you have to use it quite sparingly because its quite oily.
If the US version has less oil, I'd say it would be better.

There is a thread on Brylcreem on another site:

It sounds like the Canadian version is more like the UK one.

This guy sells the UK version & ships to the USA. Total (with shipping) cost, just over $8

Or this one on Amazon, just over $7, but an extra $5 shipping
