Fuertes Clay vs Stickmore Clay Fiber Stickmore Styling cream vs Lockhart's Nevermore(or Grey Ghost Shear Revival) Those are some of the hottest hairproducts as we speak haha.

[@jonuiuc]

Does Kaolin or Bentonite "swell" the hair more? (in regards to finer hair). I think I've heard conflicting things over the years.

Certainly didnt disappoint with the 1st brand battle, couldnt wait to see this video. Glad to see your getting more and more sponsors your channel is amazing. The sky is limit for you Robin enjoy the rise.

Northern lights has to be the best hair product I’ve ever used

[@AveryFrancisco]

I missed this series, so glad it's back! The quality of your videos just keep getting better and better 👍

[@graemechater1985]

Wow, just started using O’Doud’s Matte Paste on the strength of this brand battle & I have to say it’s the best matte product I’ve used (..and I’ve used a few). Thanks for posting this Robin 👍🏻

[@jacobbenson9411]

I was just considering northern lights but I couldn’t decide, this definitely helped and perfect timing as well.

[@enriquemedina222]

I think it would be nice if you could add a category for which one you would use on a day-to-day basis office etc. versus the one you’ll reach for for a special occasion or to dress to impress, dates all those smaller moments where you need to feel your at most confident.

[@stephl9730]

Because of this video I’ll be buying one of these products next to try. Before I ran into your videos and started following you I ended up trying Pete and Pedro Putty and wasn’t that impressed. I’m glad you give so much insight for your viewers!

These improvements to the brand battle format are great. 🙂

[@tariksadiku4723]

Would love to see a review/brand battle of sculpting pomade from label men against something else! Great vid Robin.

[@ManForHimself]

Good suggestion! Thanks Tarik.

[@ajostad1185]

Maybe review Morrocanoil Texture Clay? Btw thanks for finally bringing back brand battle

[@ManForHimself]

Would love to. What would you like against it?

[@ajostad1185]

Robin James hmm very hard to choose something similar to it since it’s not like every other clay. You’ll have to make the decision Iol. Btw love ur vids robin ♥️

[@jmullsman]

Robin James So I haven't used the Morrocanoil Texture Clay myself, but I know a while back some people used to claim it felt like a more accessible/available version of Morris Motley's Treatment Styling Balm.. maybe it could go against that?

[@orlandovflores]

Robin James a good competitor would be the Brazilian Blowout Molding Clay Wax. It’s similar to the Moroccan Oil Texture Clay in consistency and hold. Both are medium-low hold products.

[@centenoj85]

Brand battle is back 🔥🔥🔥 Lockhart anti gravity vs arcadian matte paste

[@clint7312]

Great video. Temple tonics (reformulation) please!

[@ManForHimself]

Need to get on it

[@steeltoothcombs]

Incredibly hard Brand Battle, two of the best going head to head. These two companies collaborated on a product they call WAX and it's a stellar product as well. They also hosted a pomade brewing class together in New York.

[@ManForHimself]

Agreed! Really solid products. And yes, saw the new product WAX. Need to try!

[@NeoAvalon17]

I think a good matchup would be Firsthand Supply Clay Pomade vs. Templeton Tonics Oasis Clay. They're pretty similar products in my eyes, both are heavier holding, waxier clays.

[@orlandovflores]

I like both but once I tried Oasis I haven't gone back. It breaks down and goes in so smoothly. The range of scents is great as well.

[@ianiskandar4165]

Hey Robin.. if you have to choose 1 only, which "paste" you may keep ?

[@dsheffer2]

Cheers 🥂 Robin to season 4 of brand battle, keep up the great videos 🙌

You are so right about O’Douds looking better as the day goes on! I love their pomades, especially the multi-purpose. Did you know O’Douds and Shear Revival did a wax collaboration?

[@tamasmenyhart8483]

Great video Robin 👌🏼🙂👍🏻 You should also try Templeton tonics Oasis Clay, Arcadian matte paste, Pre-game from salon guy and also his new grooming clay "hustle".

Yes, for sure!

dude, thank you so much for this informative reviews!!! love it!!!! cheers from Sydney

[@phillipandrew87]

Moroccanoil texture clay vs Morris Motley Treatment Styling Balm. I see these two compared all the time. All the big channels, and smaller reviewers too, say so often that Moroccanoil clay is essentially a cheaper Morris Motley that most people seem to have taken this for a fact. I never understood the comparison myself. They're two completely different products, from how they apply, their finish, to how they perform, etc. Be interesting to see what you think though.

[@ronualdojoaquinperez8580]

Close call, but I would go for Shear Revival for my next hair product since it’s responsive and not that dry.

[@nickt6947]

Northern Lights has a new formula and it is not good. Much too dry and stiff. I'd love to see you try it out, im curious to see if its a downgrade for you as well.

[@lukasseliga2893]

Been using both of these all summer! Glad brand battle is back!

[@ManForHimself]

Which is your favourite?

[@FilmTech101]

It depends on the style I'm going for that day, but I'll usually reach for the northern lights because it holds my hair in place a bit better. I will happily repurchase both when I run out though.

[@cheezuschrist1102]

Hey Robin, I found that my fav hair product is a clay. It just provides so much texture! Which ones would you recommend?

I've used both. I absolutely hated O'Douds Matte Paste. It was waaaay to dry. I'd go with Northern Lights hands down.

Hey Stuart. These are normally just shots to show you in that moment, but when I use them at home, I use a pre-styler. And here I used a primer spray before applying.

I'm thinking of the one of apothecary 87 and of root and muddle. I also have honest reviews suggestions : -the whole trade union supply line -apothecary 87 mogul matte paste -pete and pedro sea salt spray I know I'm asking you a lot but for me you're the man. I really trust your advice. I've been trying apothecary 87 vanilla/mango clay-pomade recently since you gave it "a good 4 star" in your review (it's my first clay ever). And I just love the product.

Hey Robin u should review an American brand called Goodfellow& Co. It is a mens grooming brand sponsored by the Target department store and it is by far the highest quality of hair products I've ever purchased in terms of the price. Every product has amazing herbal/sweet scents and have the best hold with wash ability I've ever experienced. They have everything from a firm holding cream, medium holding pomade, to a high hold fiber which is really a clay. And the best thing is the price which in the US is under $10:)

[@mattsalisbury9098]

I've been interested in Tiege Hanley for a while but as a Brit I'm aware they're an American company that export from there.
