[@centenoj85]

Mike love the introduction. Also this product is very promising. I might get it. Salute sir

[@TheSalonGuy]

Wow Mike thanks so much for this super in depth review! I rarely use pastes as pre stylers but it’s great to see how you opened up a whole new performance point on this. Great production and thanks for creating this!

[@MMTV]

Anytime man! Thanks for coming on the channel too! Great job to you and Cody 👍

[@opurnotaypurno5894]

Please change the Scent!! It smells like my sisters make up kit / face powder 🙄 other than that its a game changer for my thick wavy asian hair which was difficult to tame and control!! It really has the extreme hold as it says on the label and 2 days endurance ! Finally found the right product, thanks @TheSalonGuy but please change the scent

[@MrTyfun]

I really appreciate the hard work you both do

[@tahmidshanto1626]

I saw the video 3 times after it got published Totally totally love the vid Think i cried cause I’ve been a sucker for a heavy holding product And a fan of Steven Love the SalonGuy Definitely buying it

[@MMTV]

Releasing a product is always an emotional affair

[@monaco308308]

Omg thank you.i tried it as a prestyler. And i am really impressed.my hair looks amazing.i like it this way even more as a poststyler. It is a great Product. I love it and the smell😍

[@GQRS]

Great vid mike the intro was awesome it was super cool to hear how much work was done for this product to happen....👍

[@farazr2]

In terms of finish, versatility between pre/post style usage, and look in the jar, it looks and behaves very similar to Oasis from Templeton. I took a look at the ingredients lists which have some notable similarities but are of course in many ways different as well.

[@MMTV]

Less dry for sure. That’s why I didn’t go down that road. I filmed a portion where I talked about that and things like anti gravity but I found myself saying “BUT” the entire time, like compared to oasis it’s creamy BUT it’s different because of this, this, this, and I just thought to myself, what a waste of time lol

[@orlandovflores]

Just ordered some. Can’t wait to give it a go.

[@monaco308308]

Love this product and the smell is incredible 😍. One of my go to Products.

[@blueghost4121]

These liquidy products always surprise me! Sea Monster, Teracota, Antigravity are some that got me 🤯. Liking the consistency. ....gotta try this one now.

[@ysl4pf]

Roland Jacobs then try oasis its the liquid king 👑 😂

[@flyingtree2483]

To be honest it seems like a good product but I might have to pass. Otherwise great review! Always appreciate you not rushing and taking your time and going in depth into your reviews.

[@MMTV]

That’s how it goes sometimes! I always tell folks sales aren’t my focus, my job is to educate and offer my opinion. It’s up to you guys after that to decide. I’m sure they appreciate you considering it either way.

[@Tonyxfitt]

This looks awesome gonna have to try this out great video mike! And loving your hair products to man the Wax cream and paste are amazing!

[@MMTV]

Wow that’s so nice to hear thanks a lot!

[@gustavosuchowitzkiorozco330]

Amazing review as always Mike! Have you tried to combo crafted with 25 as prestyler and then add crafted as post styler?

[@prowarrior614]

I personally feel this would be a great companion to dauntless wax cream, pre with crafted and post with dauntless. What a combo it would be, Damn!

[@discover-titan]

Love your videos and bought this on your recommendation and I love it. Where you get those glasses they are cool?

[@TheBlackHat23]

How does it compare to Pregame ? Like the weight, endurance, finish and pliability......They look a bit similar

[@musicandlife7812]

Hi Mike Which one will you recommend I have a medium type of hair The crafted matte paste or forte series molding paste Please recommend

[@lewontheone5163]

Can you make a review of Alex Costa’s Forte Clay when it comes out on October 24th

[@MMTV]

I have been contacted by them so you can count on my honest thoughts to come out here.

[@lewontheone5163]

Modern Man TV Ok Thanks

[@centenoj85]

Salute on that

[@fivestrings]

Glad you reviewed this one. I’ve been wanting to try this out 👍

[@Molten-Throne]

Great review love your vids! So this product probably isn’t for someone with fine hair? It looks pretty sticky and tacky, and I think it definitely worked for your hair but for us finer guys it probably isn’t the product for us

[@discover-titan]

This sounds awesome, just bought some here in UK. Thanks

[@discover-titan]

I really like crafted but everyone talks about how good the scent is.Mine smells pretty much of nothing strange! Now Clutch wow that scent is amazing

[@zacharywan2004]

Me: wow three different demo tests! Now I’ve seen it all! Damp hair-stylers: it’s been a month, still waiting for the fourth demo test

[@MMTV]

I dont usually demo damp hair in videos unless its a damp hair product (Gel Type pomades, Oil based Pomades) or unless I find that it works well enough in damp hair to demo in damp hair. I dont generally style in damp hair, I dont like hardening for 1 and I especially dont like styling clays and matte pastes in damp hair because added moisture inhibits clays and stops them from really achieving their full potential.

[@zacharywan2004]

Modern Man TV don’t get me wrong! It was meant as a joke mike! I personally will never do damp hair styling myself. It never works out for me since my hair is not thick

[@MMTV]

zachary wan I agree I don’t usually do damp hair for a few reasons haha.

[@alexcurran4906]

Great video Mike!

[@kowshik7511]

Hello! amazing video mike! could you kindly make a full review on scotch porter hair balm?

[@rummanrashid996]

Hey Mike...... How does this compare to pre game wax paste? I mean in terms of hold and texture..?...i saw your pre game video.....bit confused now......which to buy. Your opinion is needed.

[@wbae1340]

Awesome video and always love the content man! Quick question, I have never ordered directly from the salon guy's website, any idea of how long typical free shipping takes for someone living in the US? Thanks again man keep the great content going!

[@MMTV]

Hey man! My experience with their shipping has always been a good one, It’s always been just a couple days- a week max from site to mailbox. I’m also in Nebraska and they are in New Jersey I believe so that can vary the ship time but it’s still been fairly quick.

[@wbae1340]

@@MMTV sound good thank a lot! Appreciate the quick response and ya I will be ordering it this week!

[@TheSalonGuy]

Chris Baeza I ship same/next day. Ordering direct has perks like rewards program and we send out exclusive newsletters with discounts to people who opt in!

[@wbae1340]

TheSalonGuy awesome I ordered from your site yesterday afternoon, can’t wait to try out the new product this week. I’ll let you know how it goes!

[@LucasArchives]

this hair is really good and less dry than ur current hair

[@badass0073]

Hey brotha! Can I slick back with this paste??

[@MMTV]

oh yeah you sure can.

[@spongboy7330]

Hey there Mike! I am actually confused between Arcadian matte paste and Crafted matte paste. Which one would be better?

[@MMTV]

Hey there! Good question! The difference between the 2 might seem similar so I can definitely see why you’d be confused, but the results and attributes is where the differences will lie. I’m gonna have to review my notes and results with both of these as I’ve probably tried 40 matte pastes since trying both of those but generally the results lie within the actual hold (vs reported hold) and various other attributes like finish, texture, volume, endurance etc. I hope that helps at least a little.

[@spongboy7330]

@@MMTV indeed they are quite similar. Of course Crafted has a better hold but what do you think which one is more pliable and adds better volume? Thanks for the feedback!

[@thedudeofshaving1749]

Hi quick question... I'm looking for an amazing heavy clay can someone please give me a suggestion . I have thick wavy hair also would this product suffice ?

[@thamessher9134]

Xx The DudeTech xX Forte, by Alex Costa worked very well on my hair. (Thick wavy)

[@yiyithewuster]

Id always say start with cavalier clay, then explore r/pomade. Everyone seems to love oasis so give that a shot

[@Badmintonbyshreyans]

This paste if just fucking bonkers a 4.9/5

[@mxjxvxc1742]

How does this compare to clutch/ clutch xl hold wise?

[@MMTV]

More hold.

[@opurnotaypurno5894]

@@MMTV crafted matte paste or arcadian matte paste?? In terms of hold, endurance and washout??

[@spongboy7330]

@@opurnotaypurno5894 I have the same question

[@rezaakbari1773]

Is this product fine for thin hairs?

[@MMTV]

I would say this would work just fine for fine hair. It’s not too heavy in the hair or overpowering so it should be just fine

[@av8cr9]

Is the extreme hold as good as the pre game by the salon guy ?

[@MMTV]

Hold wise I’d say it’s similar, I think pre game might be drier, but this has more endurance.

[@saptarshimajumder5872]

Is this product made of natural ingredients???

[@garyneedham3257]

Forte by Alex Costa!!

[@mamohookah5944]

Please make it available on slikhair shop

[@TheSalonGuy]

Mamo Odeh hopefully soon they will make a purchase. Seems they are out of stock on a few items of mine.

[@mamohookah5944]

@@TheSalonGuy wish that every brand has a dhl worldwide shipment in there website it would be easy only slikhair shop until now..

[@MMTV]

It’s not up to brands to make it available with slikhaar, I just made a post about this with dauntless, they actually have to choose to purchase the product.

[@mamohookah5944]

@@MMTV oh OK I thought its up to brands thanks for telling me I would check other shops for the missing brands then thanks ✌🏻

I’d love it if it was up to brands haha

[@beardsnstuff5406]

Damn! That's so good! Freaking awesome!😬

[@howl5351]

Hey Mike I know you get annoyed when people say, “ Hey Mike you thought of growing out your sides?”, but I have a middle ground suggestion. At 6:51 I saw how short your sides are. If you wait I’d say a full 6 weeks especially with how healthy your hair regimen is I think your next haircut would look awesome! Your upper sides could grow in more and it be a nice reset. I use to get my haircut twice every two weeks, maybe a little less and I chose to wait while I was on a break. It sucks a bit during but it feels nice after. It’s not like half a year. Only 6-8 weeks.

[@howl5351]

*once every two weeks

[@MMTV]

Hey man! It’s not about the grow in time, I could grow out my sides fairly easily and quickly- it’s about what they do when they grow out that keeps me from doing it. They curl and grow out the side instead of growing down so it doesn’t end up being quite like I’m sure your picturing it. It wouldn’t be a situation where I could slick them down and back they would begin to grow sideways right away and then when long enough they would begin to flip and curl.

[@howl5351]

Modern Man TV I gotchu Mike! Man I’ve tried to grow out my hair and it simply isn’t for me. After two months the structure of what I want begins to come undone and it more or less looks like an afro which I don’t think is flattering for me. Growing is about patience but in the past I’m telling you I got haircuts every 10 days and if that’s you that’s you but I was wanting to get haircuts that were less extreme. So now I do 4-6 weeks. But I don’t run a YT channel or live a lifestyle where I feel like I always need to look “on point”. It’s tougher when you do things that have people look at ya. Hey Mike I bought the Void, Polar, and Equinox from Flagship and out of your entire line I want to try the pomade so I’ll buy that and get your full line eventually! Keep being great 😇

[@MMTV]

I can dig it. I get my haircut twice a month and I sometimes get the urge to find something different but I’m quickly reminded that my hair doesn’t cooperate haha! And I’d love for you to try my pomade and I thank you in advance!

[@earlbinvico]

@@MMTV which one's your pomade? I'm looking for a high hold pomade that doesn't deflate within some hours. I've been using Blumaan's, and it has not been working well recently with humidity. My hair becomes wavy and destroys the whole structure, turning my pomp into a weird attempt of a slickback. I remember back in the day, it would perform greatly. American Crew Grooming Cream is too weak. I'm trying By Vilain's Powermade + Silver Fox soon. So, if that doesn't work, what's the best unorthodox water-based you know? Thanks!

[@mgsons8335]

Bro did u get a hair transplant because it seems to me from ur hairline

[@MMTV]

MG SONS nope I’ve never had a hair transplant.

[@alfredo101109]

How’s this a review? Lol, it’s more of a commercial (which is fine) Flagship + SalonGuy? Damn... I have HIGH standards. I love SalonGuy shampoo and conditioner as well as Flagship post-Stylers

[@MMTV]

Bastian Palafox I’m not sure I’d go as far as Saying this was a commercial haha it’s a product launch, it’s a reveal, I think you could find way better examples of commercials on some of the other, higher sub count channels haha! I actually just planned to do a regular review but Stephen asked if he could open the vid and I said why the heck not! Change it up a little!

[@fineresolve1540]

Great video Mike!
