Asia's No. 1 Hair Product? | Gatsby Moving Rubber Grunge Mat: OVERHYPED?

[@ManForHimself]

It's only been a week, but it feels so great to be back! Loads of new stuff coming your way over the next few months.

[@williamandersen5490]

First To answer your comment

[@ManForHimself]

You are!

[@simonsturn6224]

Robin James Nice to have you back! Any recommendations for a Matte clay with very strong hold for very thin hair? Should not make the hair heavy but still grant a strong hold throughout the day... ;)

[@TheRyanRymell]

Would you be able to review the Wahl Academy range. I use the klay but im interested in your opinion and wondering about the other ones they do

[@nomadicadam2260]

I'd also like to hear your opinion on a good product for styling thin / fine hair.

[@AzlanAries]

I literally spent 10 minutes in the supermarket aisle watching this video. Thank you

[@TheFallenGray]

I found grunge matt Gatsby when I was 16, haven't used anything else for the last 7 years. I've got quite thin hair and it was the first hair wax that felt good to apply and usually holds, but you're absolutely right when it comes to not using hairspray and it meets the wind haha. Several hours later after applying it I can still style and change how my hair was when I did it. You're only ever going to get it out properly with shampoo, so just try to use it a few times a week, if not then use it more lightly on days that you don't want to use shampoo to let your hair rest from it! Glad you did a review on it man!

[@linus1187]

I'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS VID EVER SINCE OVERHYPED WAS ANNOUNCED. THANK YOU, ROBIN ❤❤

[@ManForHimself]

This is v. good news!

[@Paradoxal66]

In Malaysia here, its about 20 rm (4-5 pounds)

[@ManForHimself]

Good to know. Thank you.

[@EVAN-re2yo]

Paradoxal66 so I guess the prime minister's wife use the hard wax one

[@aliff._.3192]

fak u HAHAHA.... Sempat kau bahan Rosmah 😂

[@aliff._.3192]

Murah jugk..

[@zulqarnainmuzuka7992]

Kat mane ekk biase jual..haha...susah nk jumpa

[@FaRaDise]

Hi Robin 🔥love your videos; i live in Thailand and it costs about 2-3USD for me it’s a ok product, the reason why it’s the most selling product because it’s very cheap and work well compare to another product.

[@ManForHimself]

If it works, go for it!

[@Battlescarred_Shogun]

Great to have u back at it Robin! Lots of luck and joy in your new house and can't wait for the next vid.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Rory.

[@BenArthur]

For me, the purple gatsby works better than this one which lacks in the hold department. Great vid!

[@battleroyalepros6471]

Why don't you review purple gatsby on your own channel so that people may know how good it holds?

[@thunderdrake13]

lol there's already a bunch of gatsby reviews out there

[@battleroyalepros6471]

No there ain't a purple one review.

[@fabooshka]

I hate Gatsby I have 7 inch (sorry, had to explain to the proud Americans) wavy hair and it doesn't hold well. (P.S. I am an Asian)

[@fransisco5748]

EveryMan and the *shineee* is good on the purple

[@d1fferen7]

I really get that Watson (From Sherlock Holmes) vibe from this channel. Classy, stylish, sleek. Amazing.

[@dadyramadhan94]

10 quid for a Gatsby that's a massive! luckily we got this only for 3,5 quid here in Indonesia. still using it since 2016. one of the best hair product for the bucks in my opinion.

[@Gnorfgnegeff]

I always bring some Gatsby's with me when I was in Hongkong for more than 8years now and still love it

[@SSGTStryker]

Hi Robin, I know this video is from four years ago, but I love the hairstyle in this video. Aside from taking screenshots, what exactly should I tell my barber?

[@abhishekshetye3490]

Great to have you back after a small break!!

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Abhishek.

[@loviemonroe21]

Immediately subscribed cause that mustache is majestic asf

[@GRONKOSAURUS]

Do one on Kocaine Klay people have been hyping that up and it’s a budget product

[@battleroyalepros6471]

True! I also heard a lot about it and especially because it is very cheap in price and great in quality!

[@takroebeestsr4944]

Change your name to King Aegon 💪

[@GRONKOSAURUS]

ShuffleIOS Will consider it thanks bud lol

[@Nav_M]

I tried kocaine klay today and it's pretty fantastic! Worked well for my style. Gives good volume, fairly matte finish but makes the hair look very healthy!! Hold is definitely strong but not as strong as hard muk but again, it's holding my style very nicely! The smell is very mild of rosemary and clay... i love it!! This stuff is very sticky, i had to handwash twice to get it off and it'll take effort to shampoo it out but that doesn't matter cos i shampoo my hair daily anyway. I'll use kocaine for daily use as it's totally natural and well priced (not inexpensive but pretty good). I have been using hard muk for the last 8 years but i think kocaine Klay has basically replaced it after just one use! I didn't expect such a great product to come out of India and it has definitely kicked butt!! Great stuff!! (I can smell the very light rosemary & clay an hour after application and it's awesome!) Very highly recommended guys! Grab it... Get your perfect style and support the producer (I'm not patriotic but i always support great products that are well priced).

[@Nav_M]

BTW it's a budget product in terms on currency conversion but in India, it's not budget but actually a mid range product.

[@relaksingh200]

Hi Robin. Thanks for reviewing this great product, which I am currently using. I live in Singapore and it costs less than $10, which converts to US$7.30 and £5.50.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks!

[@chrisdewa63]

THANKS ROBIN 😄 I've been waiting this video! I'm a big Fan of Gatsby Lol.. I'm glad you impressed also.. It's around 6 dollars in Indonesia

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Chris

[@jayd8365]

AT LAST I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!

[@ManForHimself]

This is good news

[@HarshSharma-05]

great stuff robin.. would love to see something about scalp and haircare u know its kinda important😂😂 Keep up the good work!!!

[@ManForHimself]

Will definitely do that.

[@battleroyalepros6471]

Awesome video. I have been waiting so long for this review! Congratulations on your new apartment...

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Aftab.

[@DenarNaish]

Thank God I found this review. I've been wanting to try out this product for a while now.

[@bkopgamer]

I’m glad your back.

[@michaelsellgren7599]

I actually bought this twice before in the past. Costs 8-10 brunei dollars. Pretty cheap for the quality but the hair scene in brunei has moved on quite a bit from gatsby. Price wise though (in asia) it's worth it

[@ahmirzzz8881]

Welcome back robin Happy to see you again :)

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Hamza

[@allegrifan4933]

You should try the pink spiky edge gatsby. It has the strongest hold for very short hair but for me with medium hair it didn't really hold well, I'm curious on how it will work on your hair

[@nomadicadam2260]

I remember I used this when I lived in Hong Kong when I first started styling my hair. It's a good product, but one thing I didn't like about it was how difficult it was to wash out at night like you alluded to in the vid. I like it when the product washes out easily with water, but since my hair is really fine like yours, I'd take a good hold over the washability, all things taken into consideration.

[@deveshraut1130]

Nomadic Adam so which is the best hair wax on washability basis

[@nomadicadam2260]

I'm still to find a good was product for fine hair that washes out easily. Usually I'll just get my hair into the position I want then use hairspray.

[@TheKafong]

Ahh! Finally some review on Gatsby! Would love to see purple/pink too :) thanks

[@shrikumarhavaragi3553]

Nice video I was waiting for this video

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Shriumar.

[@Ali-ko4pe]

Your vid are becoming a must watch for me

[@jindermahal6940]

mannnn ive been waiting so long for this video, thanks rob !!!

[@ManForHimself]

Glad I could make it for you.

[@1karanvaidya]

Thanks for checking out this product, been using it for a while (I also have fine hair). Should do a comparison video between the other two products you mentioned.

[@TheVegetarianBaker]

I'm really enjoying this Overhyped series. :) Keep up the great job.

[@mr.slayer8192]

Good that you tried Gatsby products . They are budget friendly and a medium range product. Personally I love Gatsby.

[@viniciusreiss4420]

Hey Robin! I'm a huge fan of your vids and was just wondering what haircut you have. I'm new to men's hairstyles and was wondering what you say to your barber to get that exact cut. Thanks and keep being awesome!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! Thanks. I put all hair and clothes info in the description. Hope it helps.

[@odysseus2k1]

Its good to see you're doing a review of Gatsby. I have Gatsby moving rubber too (the green one) and will make a video about it soon. Its great to see that you're making videos with a budget products instead of those expensive products which not everyone can't afford and is also difficult to find. I live in Asia, so Gatsby is like everywhere here. My favorite is the wax one. Btw, have a good day👌

[@BenArthur]

Muhd Farhat how does the green one perform? I tried the grey and purple ones and have found the purple is slightly better

[@odysseus2k1]

EveryMan It is ideal for medium short hair and it gives an ultra volume with a soft touch which means that you can restyle your hair easily. It is also easy to wash and doesn't have any greasy feelings on your hair. The holding power for me would be 6/10. It depends on one's opinion of course but to me this air rise is good especially for my type of hair. Ps: It smells really good not that its important but yeah😊

[@shallnotbenamed4020]

I wanted to mention that only certain alcohols are bad for your hair, if it contains Cetyl, Cetearyl, Stearyl, Myristyl, Lauryl or Behenyl Alcohol it is a good ingredient. Those are the conditioning alcohols and prevent the hair from drying out heavily. The Bad Alcohols are SD Alcohol 40, Ethanol, Propyl, SD Alcohol, Porpanol and Isopropyl are the bad alcohols no matter the hair type. The good Alcohols also act as thickening agents to the product (not the hair)!and add moisture, bad ones help a product evaporate quickly and are more common in cheap products to get you to buy more and/ or use more of it.

[@shinjid3705]

it is impossible to go out in the UK without hairspray. The weather is just 80% like that across the year.

[@pratikbisht6060]

i want the jacket behind you thats super cool nd nice vid really needed this

[@fabulouslucian]

Nice video .Please make more videos like this,maybe with popular products like silkhaar products,label m products,maybe loreal products.Thank you,you are the best !

[@shobhanraj7085]

Robin did you use hairdryer before applied hair wax? Sorry for the late comment..hope you will reply..🙏🙏

[@danielayalde5781]

A review on Transcend wax clay from Lockhart's and The Pomade shop would be awesome! Love your channel! My go to channel for when I'm looking for a new hair product!

[@chun-weikang471]

the grey is amazing! haven't used it in ages after I switched to slick back and pomp styles though...

[@PlayfulWithIt]

I love your haircut, it fits your facial shape so well. It looks so thick, considering your age 😬!

[@tenzintsepel9572]

LMAO HE LOOKS THE LIKE DETECTIVE FROM THE MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS LMAO 😂😂😂

[@rohanrajput2778]

Hercule pirot 😂😂

[@jmanitowabi]

Hey Robin, would you ever consider doing some products from the Tigi BedHead line? The manipulator, manipulator matte, matte separation and slick trick all look intriguing and you’d do an amazing job showcasing them. Thanks for all you do and your entertaining content. Cheers!

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Julian. I had a few Tigi products. If you guys want them, I can certainly see.

[@davewiryawan6921]

Love your videos so much robin!

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Dave

[@garypalisatter1328]

would you ever do how to make wax, clay or pomade your way? so far your diy is the best.

[@ashwinash2424]

Thanks for the review mate It was very helpful 😍🔥😘

[@ManForHimself]

You are very welcome.

[@adamtsatas6052]

In case if you're asking, i asked this question a few vids ago: for a quiff(i am using a clay and hairspray as a post styler and i have hair a bit likeyours; fine) what is the best prestyler: mousse, seasalt spray, thickening tonic or grooming cream (those are the ones I see you use the most often on your channel). Thanks robin

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Adam

[@acecee5856]

I’ve been using this product for awhile and unfortunately I think it might be the cause to my hair thinning. The product itself holds and offers a matte finish, like it says it does. The problem is that it is very sticky and isn’t water soluble so it is very hard to clean off. Because of this, it damages hair overtime causing it to thin.

[@shen6749]

to really determine what caused your hair to thin, I would recommend you go see a dermatologist and he/she will be able to determine what is causing your hair to thin. have you seen a dermatologist yet?

[@nameetharish]

Great video. Solid content! What product do you use on your mustache?

[@DanielLee-wn5uh]

Hi Robin, it’s been a while!! Good to see you

[@ManForHimself]

Good to be back!

[@marvinm8446]

The video is great 😃👍.

[@LerryVids]

I bought this when I Japan the only hair clay I’ve ever found that actually works with my thick hair

[@LTT.Official]

Came for the majestic mustache, got just that. Keep up the great work.

[@illusiveman3378]

Gatsby Moving Rubber is like eating for me, if not using these just one day ! my hair start to riot !

[@justinlee6538]

Ahhh, you should do an overhyped for the whole range of Moving Rubber, it's Asia's best because we don't have a lot of choices in Asia that's in budget. So in other words, it's all we've got kinda.

[@ManForHimself]

Will definitely look at more.

[@ManForHimself]

Will definitely look at more.

[@shrikumarhavaragi3553]

Thank you Robin, is it good for fine hair?

[@ManForHimself]

It seemed to be okay for me.

[@ashishsehgal5453]

Best series ever great work robin

[@jamiewhitten9992]

Hey Robin, what hair styling product/combo would you recommend for someone with really thick hair? Your videos are amazing btw 😊

[@ManForHimself]

What length of hair do you have?

[@jamiewhitten9992]

byRobin James a little bit shorter than yours

[@jenniferharton6383]

I sure missed you and hope the move went well and you are well. The video was great as usual. Take care.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Jennifer.

[@peerhan6514]

hey Robin, i really enjoy your content! could your make a new quiff tutorial? it would be awesome!

[@ManForHimself]

I tend not to do the big quiffs anymore. But could be a good video.

[@erinkayeozga9947]

Welcome back Robin 🆒🍸

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Erin

[@TimBurVlogs]

I have been looking for something that would keep volume to my hair and hold thru the day. Will look for this Gatsby and the thickening cream you mention.

[@ManForHimself]

See how you get on.

[@Kr3wIpath606]

I'd love to see you try out something from the cool grease line, maybe the fiber grease? A lot of people seem to really like it, it would be great to hear your take on it!

[@apolloblaze5848]

Hey Robin! I really like your videos. I suggest try testing Man Pomade Ph?

[@syafster]

The best thing ever created it is! Shampoo->Shiseido Hair Mask(overnight)->Gatsby Grunge. My hair is so damn pretty I kid you not! And it lasts the whole day for whatever business you attend, it holds just like after you had done it later that night! This and shiseido hair mask is 10/10 item for me. Better than any oil, and any other substance that i used! And im 38 years old. It doesnt wash off easily, not unless you use shampoo, but this is the only substance that you need to use so it doesnt clog your hair. Really a bonus for men which in need of something simple.

[@1NT3R35T1NG]

I use the purple gatsby and it's the closest thing to holding my hair since I've got super straight asian hair. But thank you for pin pointing that it grabs the hair, I dislike that feeling but its the best hold. I've tried Original by Bluuman, both American crew pastes, gold digger by villain, and purple gatsby. I have yet to try Hanz de Fuko claymation. Is it similar to any of the products that I've named?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey, it's probably better than the other ones you mentioned. But all personal choice.

[@gauudi8230]

Thanks Robin. Great Vid. 👍🏻

[@8bitdiedie]

I’ve always preferred hair products that focus more on texture than holding the hair up (the beach-blown surfer look suits me better I think). Does Gatsby have anything like that?

[@ManForHimself]

Ooh, I'm not too sure. I can look.

[@ishaantayal2308]

what do u think about beardo cream wax is it good

[@cavireN]

please do a review on the pink and purple one as well!

[@TheJediBendu]

Would love to see what you think of Gatsby's other products, like their hairspray. The Grunge Mat you reviewed is only about $4 USD here in Japan, it's quite cheap.

[@kingcaesar8233]

That effect u did where u caught the product was so damn cool!! Great video!!!

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you!

[@herr.goreman]

The pink one of the Gatsby´s is really good too

[@nickblaesser6954]

Do a video about Billy Jealousy hair paste. Or brand battle it with another brand. I just bought it about a week ago to try it out and I love it

[@ManForHimself]

Ooh, I've never heard of it. Do you like it?

[@nickblaesser6954]

Robin James yes, it's the best paste I have found to work for my hair. Very good product in my opinion!

[@fahrurozi25]

Hi Robin there are plenty of Gatsby hair product here in Indonesia. Wanna know how much? Less than 1 GBP lol I’m serious. But in some stores it’s on 1-2 GBP so it’s definitely undervalued.

[@ashurgeorge4604]

Another great upload Robin! I got my first Denim Jacket yesterday at Uniqlo after being inspired by your 5 ways to wear Denim Jackets video. Makes me want to kick myself for not trying it out earlier, it looks really sharp! Keep up the great content !

[@ManForHimself]

Glad the jacket is working out for you! A good buy.

[@smearguard6525]

For a good quiff should I use chaptr cream or odouds matte paste

[@Andre-eq3vx]

hey dude, great video, do you mind telling us what hair spray did you use when you were facing the wind in the video? I use the same product and my hair keeps falling, I think if I use the hairspray that you used, my hair would stay in place. Thanks!

[@Tonaldo90]

What hairspray you normally use? My Four Reasons shaper is little bit too strong.. 🙄

[@ManForHimself]

I use Wella Silvikrin Classic Maximum Hold.

[@Subaru_STI]

Can you make a Hype or over hyped on Morris Motley treatment styling balm or on chrome

[@ManForHimself]

For sure!

[@bharathnagaraj4922]

Is it ok to follow hair wax with hair serum just to add a little shine?

[@aidenho6085]

It's only RM 18 in malaysia. Which comes to only 3 quid in the uk. U can get it Guardian or Watson (similar to Superdrug in the UK)

[@ManForHimself]

Ooh, that is cheap!

[@test212userrt]

Can you do a suavecito review because I have it and I don't really use it that much

[@ManForHimself]

Hey, I had it in a Brand Battle a while back.

[@mrkrssl]

Should I apply this hair wax on damp hair or Totally Dry hair?

[@SkytopTheDancer]

great video! can you make a review on the purple gatsby? i believe it's called moving rubber wild shake. and also another one for kocaine klay? i've being seeing it everywhere in the hair side of youtube and even tho the name sounds sketchy as hell i've heard it works really well and the ingredients seem to be a higher quality than average (i doubt it due to the price) thanks so much, robin!

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Skytop. I'm not too sure about this Kocaine clay (awful name). Will see for future.

[@probopramono7955]

in Indonesia is about 6-7 USD... please do try the pink and purple ones... those are better in my opinion.

[@BecauseILikeFood]

Great video Robin, and great channel! Since I really value your opinion, I was wondering if you could review the Matte Paste by Dapper Dan. Thanks!!

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Isaac. Saw your comment on the other video. Going to keep an eye out.

[@BecauseILikeFood]

Robin James Thanks!

[@picanha694]

ive been using the grey one for the past 3 years and id say its very good for the price

[@monugupta32]

Woah, I didn't knew gatsby has a good product too.. I had a bad experience with their wax though. Will try this out for sure ! Thanks Robin, great video as always.

[@ManForHimself]

Oh no, what happened?

[@jpmavichana]

You should review their Spikey Edge. I been using it for a while.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks John. My hair might be a bit long for it.

[@Bo-sy7qv]

Awesome Thanks Robin!!!

[@SeraphxHikaryu]

Welcome back Robin! Definitely missed your videos. Once again a great, all encompasing video! I love how you get in depth and analyse every aspect of the product, from the trouble of decrypting japanese to find its ingredients to actual daily troubles like taxes and such, and that is what makes your reviews marvellous. Personally I use Reuzel pomade which I think is fantastic but the green apple scent of this one has me interested. Will give it a go! Thanks again for the great video. Catch you on the next one! P.S. I don't remember which instagram story it was but you made this totally stupid face at the end and I couldn't stop laughing xD Dude you're awesome.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Vladimir. It's good to be back. I also love Reuzels. Oh my IG stories are a hot mess. Ha ha!

[@amazingvids7747]

Great video Loved it😍😘

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks!

[@siddharthsinghrathore6063]

Is l'oreal paris hair clay good please do a review

[@bryanng5561]

You can actually get it here in Malaysia for about £4 and it's pretty popular

[@Princeim786]

I know this isnt related to the video, but I would be so interested to see more vlogs from you on like a day to day basis and events and stuff that you go to! Just because your snaps and insta stories are great so would be cool to see it in a vlog form. Just a thought feel free to ignore! (also what cameras you use etc!)

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Imran. I like doing them, but they don't do massively well for me.

[@bingefeller]

My friend Raj brings tubs and tubs of this when he comes back from visiting his parents. He says he hasn't found anything else that comes remotely close. I have to admit, he does have really nice dark hair that's always sitting to perfection.

[@goldb0y6]

ma nigga rajjj

[@tsalt]

thanks for the review!! what about johnnys chop shop clay next :)

[@ManForHimself]

I think I have it. Will take a look.
