Baxter of California Clay vs. Daimon Barber Clay | Brand Battle

[@LucaSantangeloUK]

Really enjoy your videos, Robin. I'm a bit of a silent viewer in the sense that I don't comment enough but your videos are very creditable and you deserve to know!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Luca, thanks. I really appreciate you saying so.

[@ammaarayub8189]

Robin James . Hey I am from India , dude mark my word I am watching you since last couple of months ur just amazing , the way u describe the product its really good . keep doing this , and can u tell me where can I find these in UK or online with discount

[@harash5950]

Ammaar Ayub im from india as well😀

[@ManForHimself]

I LOVE these products. Have you used them? All links and details for the products in the description.

[@CoolChicken99]

Nice review very helpful :) You should do a house tour.

[@arhaan5438]

Robin James Hi these brand battles are really helpful so thank you👍🏻. I was wondering if you could pls do a brand battle for hairspray as it is an everyday product of mine.Keep up the good work😀. Byee!

[@jasonsmith5590]

Robin James Can you do a brand battle against American crew clay vs Hanz de fuko clay??

[@mohamadalattar6004]

Robin James Hey Robin can you do Claymayion by hanz de fuko vs Original by blumaan

[@beatzzhd7669]

+Jason smith im not sure they have a clay you talking about fiber?

[@eliassavelkoul456]

I'm not much of a frequent commenter, but you seem to have stepped up your game. Your videos are so well put together and very informative. Well done, I thoroughly enjoy watching them, whilst in the earlier days I actually didn't. Nice videos, nice work, keep it up. You deserve some real credit for that quality man.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks so much, Elias. I love making videos for you guys and when I get comments like this, it makes all the work (a lot of work!) worth it.

[@Neodude991]

Been using Baxters Clay Pomade for a few weeks and it's the best hair styling product I've used so far! As for the smell, defo not a minty smell. More earthy type smell. It's strong at first but you end up getting used to it.

[@zidrhan]

yes ! a video of which i'm using both of the products. tbh i love both of them equally

[@ManForHimself]

They're both really very good!

[@zidrhan]

Robin James would you please do Evo Cassius Cushy Clay vs any clay of your choice? i'm using Evo and am loving the results and finish on my hair. you ought to check it out too ! (i have Evo, blumann original, daimon and baxter clay pomade as of now)

[@RAAKMO]

For those coming across this video more recently, Baxter 100% changed their formula. I've been using the product for several years, and just like many others are noticing, it is now a product with much less hold and leaves a greasy finish. Not the same great product that it was.

[@mattbertolino]

I've noticed too. I really don't like the greasy new finish, and its just not as firm. Do you have alternative that you're using that is more like the "old" Baxter's?

[@RAAKMO]

@@mattbertolino Kevin Murphy's Rough Rider has been working well for me. The individual tub is more expensive, but it comes with more product. So it actually costs less per oz too.

[@mattbertolino]

@@RAAKMO Thank you this helps a lot.

[@MyKillyy]

What is your hair type

[@shahzebnasir4692]

By Vilain vs Original by Blumaan vs Hanz De Fuko!!! The first ever three way battle!

[@ManForHimself]

I like to keep it as 2, but maybe 3 in the future.

[@shahzebnasir4692]

Then could you do By vilain vs Hanz de Fuko as Christmas is coming up and these seem to be the big favourites!

[@thejobrien]

Love these videos Robin.

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Jordan!

[@ShadowJ20]

Can you do a top 3 "Strongest holds" video? Like which clay/wax gives the strongest hold?

[@ManForHimself]

Good idea!

[@ShadowJ20]

Thanks. It could be like "Top 3 strongest hold products of 2016". In your brand battle videos a lot of the criteria aren't really relevant to me. The main things I look for are hold, ease of application and ingredients (nothing hazardous).

[@austinmeehan3522]

I've been using the Baxter of California Clay Pomade for the last four months and it's been great!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Austin! Totally. I love it.

[@jamiecrottyEFC]

I've just ordered Daimon Barber No4 yesterday and was pleased to see this video, and see that it's a great product, thanks Robin!

[@ManForHimself]

Good purchase, Jamie!

[@MrPulversson]

HDF: Claymation vs Kevin Murphy: Rough Rider?

[@albisnow6996]

Stalins moustache I mean he already did one with claymation but it's a possibility

[@ManForHimself]

Hey - just did a Claymation, but can totally look at it again.

[@MrPulversson]

Robin James Ohh, ive must have missed it, will take a look right away!

[@MrPulversson]

Robin James Ohh, ive must have missed it, will take a look right away!

[@charleskaplan581]

I find the Baxter clay a bit difficult to wash out. Also, the final style is not what I expected. Would like to try the Daimon clay, however, I do not see it in stores. I have been using two products lately that seem to work. One is a soft clay from a Japanese company called Magic Move. Great hold, and easy to wash out. The other product is a putty by Old Spice called Forge. Has a great hold, however, the smell is a bit overwhelming, so it should be used sparingly. In conjunction with these products, I have been using Aramis' hair thickener creme. This is an old standby I personally have been using for years (and many others as well rave about this product). Living in Manhattan, only a few stores carry this product, including Bloomingdale's in Soho.

[@seanchildrose3017]

Why isn't your channel so much bigger? Your videos are very well edited, on par if not better than people like BluMaan.

[@ManForHimself]

We create very different content and have different audiences, probably why!

[@Frank80BB]

Robin, I personally tried Baxter clay. My hairs are thin to thinning. They need something that give them fullness and matte look. This "clay" actually make them shiny and oily and a bit "separated". Not for me. I'll give a try to American Crew Matte Clay... For now I get the best results with Tigi Bed Head Matte Separation Workable Wax. Thanks for your work mate.

[@MagpulSqwerl]

I love my Baxter of california clay pommade :p my everyday stuff

[@burstfrenzy]

Quality content as always Robin. Very informative, and the new and unique format in which you break the properties down into different categories reflects the effort to share your knowledge to the best of your ability. At the same time, it sets your content apart from the rest. Thanks for always being for the people! Top lad

[@ManForHimself]

You can stay! Thanks Nicholas. Appreciate the love.

[@lexoscillation6672]

thanks for listening to the suggestion!

[@ManForHimself]

And thank you to you guys for suggesting.

[@johns7058]

Deffinetly the best channel for man's style. Well done Robin!

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Aris!

[@johns7058]

I hope you'll reach more than a million very soon. So the other would understand who's the king😄

[@timmyg8206]

Please keep doing these videos. They're super informative and interesting!

[@julianc320]

Another great video. Really like how you include the price points for the different regions. May not be the hardest part of making your videos but I bet it is greatly appreciated.

[@ManForHimself]

Glad you appreciate it. I want to help as many of you as possible.

[@nah.4798]

This might seem like a very rookie/amateur question but could you do a video on how to correctly apply product into our hair?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! Totally valid question. I'll lookto address it really soon.

[@EnvyTraxus]

I just bought baxter of california because of this video and Cameron Cretney's review, and you guys weren't kidding about how hard it is WOW. Compared to my Mr Pompadour Sculpting Clay - which is really a cream clay - this thing feels like a rock. Had to put some effort to scoop it out. Love how it styles though.

[@uifabian]

Keep it up Robin! Your brand battle for hair products is interesting!

[@IIIBirdmanIII]

Both of these products are awesome. But I think Daimon barber is like the best product out there! So glad you reviewed it!

[@ManForHimself]

It's really very good!

[@TDMStyle]

I've been a big fan of Baxter since my stylist convinced me to try it. Their shampoo and conditioner are really nice too! I think you'd quite like their Hard Cream Pomade. 👌🏻

[@ManForHimself]

Will check out the cream pomade!

[@maikelvandewiel6440]

Hi Robin, great video as always.. I'm really enjoying the brand battles. I kind of have a suggestion on a video topic. Could you give your thoughts on some of the styling products by Lush? Lush has amazing products, but the main audience is female, which in my opinion is quite a shame, since it's great for guys too. My suggestion would be to review some products like: - Mr. Dandy's Hair Candy - Hair Custard - Some shampoo and conditioners maybe? (Shampoo like Rehab) - Facewash (?) Love to hear your thoughts on the matter :)

[@ManForHimself]

Good ideas, Maikel. Will totally look at it!

[@maikelvandewiel6440]

Robin James Great!

[@philipbernard6269]

What a coincidence. This is exactly the video i was hoping for

[@LAZER1LAZER]

THANK YOU!!! I have been waiting for this brand battle, great video as always. Keep up the good work

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Jonathan!

[@AlifGunner]

Yes! Been waiting for a long time for daimon barber's review.

[@ManForHimself]

Boom!

[@ibby81ae]

Hi, Robin Baxter of California Clay also now gives a shiny look, I think the formula has changed. If you could look into this and redo a review please 🙏

[@johnulcer]

I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch of Baxter, but every time I apply it to my hair (using a small dime sized amount), I feel like it just becomes quite greasy as the day goes on and doesn't really hold very well. I'm fine with a medium hold, but I don't really want the greasy shine look, and for a matte clay I would not expect a shine. Maybe I just have naturally greasy hair lol, but I swear by the end of the day I look like I've worn a grease pomade in my hair (like the Reuzel pink tin). I switched back to Reuzel's Clay Matte, which doesn't always spread as evenly in my palm (especially as I get to the bottom of the tin and it's oxidated and hardened), but wears much better throughout the day and actually becomes more matte/textured the longer it's in my hair.

[@davidharkess4273]

Again. Thanx for this one Robin, I will deffo be trying these two just to see for myself. Keep up the good work.

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers David!

[@shahzebnasir4692]

Also could you do a video on pompadours vs quiffs!? They've become so difficult to differentiate these days with their modern variants!

[@ManForHimself]

Very, very true!

[@Deltawii382]

Love your videos! I have a question: In your experience, how well does Baxter Clay Pomade hold up against humidity? If not, do you have recommendations for matte-finish pomades that work well in humidity? Thanks!

[@ryancriollo2374]

Which has a stronger/Long lasting hold, claymation or Baxter of California clay pomade ?

[@jenniferharton6383]

Thanks Robin. Great job as usual. See you Thursday.

[@ManForHimself]

See you Thursday!

[@moensterkill8]

Daimon Barber vs Lockhart Matte Clay vs Uppercut Matte Clay, who wins?

[@Esch0]

Cement vs someting , also Tigi Manipulator Matte , Sexy Hair Frenzy, g2b, Redken Putty , Osis+

[@relentlesschaos95]

Hi Robin and viewers! I was curious if I should either get the Baxter or the new Blumaan Pomade. I have bought Blumaan original before and i wasn't impressed with it, and after I tried american crew pomade, I really enjoyed using a pomade type product. The only reason why I want to change products is because the AC pomade does not have a good hold for me. Anyways, what do you guys think is the best purchase since they are about the same price?

[@truething1818]

Could you do a Brand Battle between the Baxter of California Clay and the Kevin Murphy Rough Rider,please ;)

[@jvr7253]

Morris motley treatment styling balm (or chrome) VS Hanz de fuko claymation.

[@TheBradjohnson5]

Love the brand battles robin, id be very interested in a texture powder battle! Evo has a nice one, so does mr pomp and salon guy

[@ManForHimself]

Definitely! Will do one very soon.

[@DG-qr2ey]

Awesome video Robin once again!For your next brand battle I will recommend the salon guy haze vs uppercut deluxe matt pomade!Keep up the great work 👌 👌 👌!

[@ManForHimself]

Good shout!

[@christopherreyes702]

Another great video, Robin. You should do a Q&A, it has been a long time.

[@ManForHimself]

Totally. One before Christmas?

[@pakalpokas]

It seems Baxter of California Clay Pomade and Uppercut Deluxe Matt Clay are similar, which one you prefer?

[@mitchsmith7297]

Can't watch enough of your videos, mostly because I can't do much with my aweful hair

[@N0MISBLAST101]

What editing software do you use? The videos are so smooth and clean.

[@kevszkar01]

Which one you consider give the best hold baxter, daimon barber, lockhart matte clay or maybe claymation . Thanks robin

[@nathanjohn1950]

Love your videos man! Would u be willing to do a brand battle of seven potions hair clay against one of the other natural brands (first hand supply, odouds, or sheer revival?)

[@juanandrade9859]

Thinking about both of these products! Hopefully this helps make my decision ! Love your videos Robin!💙

[@ManForHimself]

Hope it does too!

[@umoodley]

Great vid Robin. Please can you review the blacklabelgrooming shapepaste and Clay. Thanks!

[@gamacichi]

I'd love to see a brand battle between Hanz de Fuko Modify Pomade and either Imperial Barber Fiber Pomade or Shear Revival Crystal Lake. Pretty please with sugar on top?

[@ManForHimself]

I liked the sugar top! Good work.

[@larsvanpoucke9203]

Can you please do a video on hairsprays? Which one to use for which hairtype etc. Which ones would you recommend for high hold?

[@ManForHimself]

Good call!

[@krishanthk.s.7500]

Hey robin, nice vid! I am wondering if u used any prestylers before applying these two products in the vid. Was it just on damp hair or did u use prestylers and if u did which one?

[@napjameslabajo2172]

Thanks for being so informative! I just subscribed and hit the bell button.

[@fernandol4773]

which product did you use when you were talking?

[@kikigrayhound]

Hey Robin loving the brand battles! Just saw a new clay pomade called Arcadian Clay Pomade...can you try it and compare to baxter or daimon?

[@bullshityeah3607]

Does the Daimon Barber pomade dry out quicker than the Baxter of California ? if yes , after about how long?

[@RK-ie6op]

and once again,its a hair product review !

[@mathewpadron4606]

which one is better baxter of California clay or hanz claymation

[@TheWoogie2]

Really well-made video! Good work!

[@thomascrawley4968]

awesome vid robin i'm gonna order damion barber clay now.

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Thomas. Let me know how you go with it.

[@lukejohnston1019]

thomas crawley hype

[@lingpeowkok4366]

Hi Robin, thanks and always good review. Wondering if you could do a video with various hair styling, that would be very interesting.

[@ManForHimself]

Absolutely! Will do. Making a list for the new year.

[@lingpeowkok4366]

Thanks Robin, much appreciated!

[@jaredbobier2595]

I tried the baxter of california clay and absolutely hated it. The styling was not the issue, it was the smell. The smell of the wax was so strong, stronger than any wax based pomade I've used, to the point it actually would upset my stomach. Needless to say I stopped using it.

[@sd5353]

Will you do Sebastian Craft Clay vs something? Great vids, Robin!

[@ManForHimself]

I certainly will. Just go a whole load of Sebastian products.

[@waveart5043]

Hi robin, great vid again! We would love to watch your regular haircut with your regular barber that you've been getting every 2 - 3 weeks!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! On the list. V. soon.

[@daswerck91]

I have fine hair, which clay/paste can I use? Many people say baxter of california clay pomade doesn't work for fine hair. While shue uemura clay definer does but it doesn't contain any bentonite or wax. I'm lost. I have never used these products before just some gel when i was a teenager

[@JetskiDex]

This channel is amazing!! Subbed!

[@BogdanOprea94]

I have been waiting for this video for quite a while and I can say that this was an amazing brand battler. Informative and on point as always . Well done Robin . For the next brand battle I would suggest Prelude clay v Morris Motley chrome or treatment balm. I've heard so many good things about both of them and I would like to see what you think about them. Also have you though about doing a brand battle in relation to water based pomades such as Odouds, Shear revival, lockhart's? It would be really interesting as well. Keep up the good work Robin

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks so much, Bogdan. And thank you for the suggestions.

[@win8099]

hi Robin, you have store load of great product like By vilain, daimon barber and more. Please use this product to make update version of your Big signature quiff back in year 2014 & 2015. Looking forward!

[@ManForHimself]

Really good idea, Will.

[@estabanjuliojuancortezsanc8785]

those glasses look great

[@ManForHimself]

Thank you!

[@mxamiss5]

I came here to find a hanz de fuko claymation vs Baxter of California. If you haven't done it yet, could you please.

[@ИванИванов-и1у1х]

Please do a review on Arcadian Clay Pomade.

[@Chesh1m]

Which product is better for hot and humid weather?

[@5starnightmare]

Hey Robin I have a quick question. When you style your hair do you it with the grain? Or do you go against the grain to get more volume?

[@twinsoldiersone157]

Hey Robin! Could you recommend something (like a treatment or product, diet etc) specifically for blackheads? I know you have plenty of content for oily skin, but at the end of the day, if you have a lot of them, blackheads don't come out that smoothly, leaving scars and marks. Thanks in advance!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! Can totally look to cover this off.

[@MrInfinity4Life]

Great video as usual! What are those glasses? they look amazing on you! What brand/model?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! They're Ray-Ban. On here --> rstyle.me/n/b8snsrb6ah7

[@MrInfinity4Life]

Robin James I love then but I'm not sure if they'd fit my face shape.. I'm not even certain what my face shape is haha

[@97adobo]

Can you please Do Lockharts Clay vs Haz de Fuko claymation

[@NotHere986]

I would like to see a lockheart pomade vs the new blumaan pomade

[@shayan2ask]

which one of these is better in terms of hold and also in comparison to claymation and rough.rider?

[@GeneralGrizzy]

Always love your introduction :)

[@GeneralGrizzy]

***** :)

[@raidenkuntj8441]

please review lockhart matte clay new formula. i realy curious about it. and always keep up the good work👍

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! Yes, I definitely will!

[@user-xd8vw3jj2s]

Hey Robin. I was wondering which product (out of all of them that you've used) has the strongest hold with the most natural / matte finish? I've tried so many products that claim to have 'high hold' and are awful! Need your help. By the way, keep up the awesome videos!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! I always mix products for something like this. It really does depend on what you want to do with your hair.

[@Fiqqylicous]

can you do a brand battle with pomades like suavecito or more

[@ManForHimself]

I could do, yes!

[@benficaM8888]

Is this the same product as Daimon Barber Texture Clay? They don't have the "Clay" anymore.

[@MrInfinity4Life]

Hey Robin! Please Please PLEASE get us a review/brand battle on Fifth Sample by Blumaan.. I want to buy a pomade and it seems to fit everything I need, I just need to know if it works, and if it's good for finer hair.. thank you very much!

[@sameerhasan188]

Hey Robin! Great vid as usual. I was wondering if you could do a review on original by blumaan smooth edition. A problem for you for the regular one was it being sticky, so I wanted to see if there was any drastic improvement in this one. Cheers!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey! I'll look to see if they're going to send it to me. :D

[@yadav2043]

original by blumaan vs hanz de fuko claymation would be awesome!

[@xxBestGamerxx]

Thank you very much for the review! Would you reccomend the Baxter of california clay pomade for thinning hair? Im looking for a product that would hold my hair strong and also give him some volume.

[@bcnicholas123]

I have fine hair and I find that using just the product alone weighs my hair down and kind of makes it a little greasy looking. I highly suggest for people with fine/thinning hair to combine it with a thickening tonic or a mousse to help get the volume so you don’t have to use quite so much of the product and you can avoid the greasiness but still get the hold benefits.

[@billythekid1638]

Do a baxter of california clay pomade vs krieger söhne styling clay please sir.

[@MoquerHD]

Great review and great products indeed!

[@sup1102]

Robin please do a review of Tigi Bedhead Matte Seperation Wax. Also compare it with other products. Btw I Love watching your videos!

[@ManForHimself]

Glad you enjoy my videos. Will get on to Tigi v. soon.

[@thesebiscuits825]

I liked the comeback on this one, it was unexpected.

[@ManForHimself]

I like an unexpected comeback!

[@zacmacfarlane1092]

Loved the content in the video bro!

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Zac.

[@michaelc6591]

baxter of California paste pomade vs kevin murphy rough raider I need a honest review and your the guy for it

[@ManForHimself]

I could certainly be!

[@Thadnill]

Hey I kinda need an advice for what pomade to use for my hair. I got Asian type hair which is really thick, straight, and quite stubborn to manage, and also longish for a male, my front hair goes down to my Jaw and i usually try to go for a smooth back slicked rough look. Now my problem is that my hair type is also very dry, and most product that i try always end up drying and puffing up if i mess around with it which i don't like. So I need something that doesn't dry and puff up during the day, that's suitable for longer thick hair, that's kinda light and let's you mess around with it and restyle but at the same time gives some hold and shine. What would you recommend for me?

[@notpotato2075]

Your channel are growing really fast. 1,000 subscribers per week. Sorry for my bad English.

[@ManForHimself]

Your English is great!

[@notpotato2075]

Robin James thanks.

[@minh2717]

[@SwaggKidd69]
