I have been using Aveda products for almost 15 years. I started using Reuzel based off of a new Barber suggestion last year but switched back to Aveda. After watching this Video i decided to try the Kevin Murphy and I have to say after working a 10 hour shift, the kevin murphy does hold up better. Love the videos, thanks !
I own Apothecary and Lockhart's, both are very similar. Lockhart's will give a bit more texture and more matte finish. Apothecary will give a tiny bit of a natural shine and a touch less volume
I own both and I have to use so much of the aveda clay to get any hold. My only problem with tough rides is the gritty feeling you get from the DE. Reminds me of the quick sand but a lot better. I prefer the thickening paste from aveda ironically cause I have super thick hair. sorry for the rant. AMAZING CONTENT AS ALWAYS
Templeton tonic Oasis clay vs Arcadian Matte paste. Or just review Oasis Clay individually. Lots of hype around it. Several channels calling it the best product of the year.
@f it’s pretty impressive. From packaging to quality. It is super smooth and goes in effortlessly. That being said, it has a wet consistency of sorts. If you prefer clays that are stiffer and have more wax content this won’t be your jam. It’s nothing like Rough Rider that’s for sure. Longer hair (6+ inches) might struggle a bit but using it as a pre and post styler will likely work.
Rough Rider is my fav clay of all time. So happy it won this battle. I love Aveda as a brand too, but the hold of the clay is just not enough for my unruly Asian hair
@@laharltheoverlord3419 well it's been 10 months lol and i lost it about 6 months ago when i was coming home from a vacation out of the country. But when i DID have it the scent is definitely very sweet like caramel and could either be a hit or miss with many people due to how strong it is. The performance was great it held my hair in place if you use the correct amount for the amount of hair you have but if you accidentally use more than necessary your hair will start to feel like there's grains of sand in it. I'll most likely buy it again but first I'm gonna try night rider this time.
Fernando Rodriguez ohh sorry about the late reply but it actually came like two days ago and I gotta say the scent was somewhat intense and really not my type but I don’t mind because it doesn’t seem to diffuse and gradually gets less notable. Other than that, I mainly got it for hold, and it does seem to do the job since my hair is somewhat thin and not very cooperative. So this may just be the product I’m looking for and will definitely continue using for a while!
I loved this video. I think i asked or thought to myself why these two should battle and im glad you did. I love Rough Rider but the wash bothers me but i deal with it lol
Would totally subscribe to tiege but for the fact they don't have a distributor in the UK and you need to pay ridiculous shipping and wait for ever for the product. Surely Alpha with his base & contacts can get something sorted out on that front?
@@ManForHimself something from the Schwarzkopf range like beach matte against the loreal range like txt flame. Or something from American Crew against label m
I’ve been waiting for this one. Aveda wins just because you can start with less and it feels like nothing is there and the more you put the harder it gets. The other one is just clay and when u run your hands through your hair it’s idk how to describe it. Feels like too much product.
@@ManForHimself I personally use Aveda and Vilain sidekick zero for going out regular days. I switch the Aveda with cavalier clay for when cooking for work. With a touch of keune blend powder. Both of course, blow-drying. After testing a couple products, this is what works for me.
There are at least 3 reformulations with KM Rough Rider, and they are quite different from each other. The first one is the one that has no hold/shine points on the package. The one with the toughest breakdown, highest hold, driest and actually has a matte shine; The second one is the one Robin is using, it has 3,4 oz on the package. It is easier to scoop out, has less hold, more oily, less drying with more shine; The third one has 3,5 oz on the package. The oiliest one with even more shine and has the weakest hold. I personally hate this version. I heard there is a 4th one and it has improved from the last one, haven't tried it though.
Hi, i like the rough rider for everything except 1 single thing which bother me very much...i dont mind the oiliness but this product is too hard to wash out...i used a total of 3 different shampoo over 5 times wash, 2 times conditioner to just get it 80% off my hair, btw i only used a fingertip amount. I spent at least 20mins scrubbing my hair for just trying to get it out of my hair. I like the rough rider for the volume for the easy application, however the hold is not as gd as i thought it would be but still acceptable as i need to keep combing my sides as it keep falls out..but the process of getting it out of my hair is too tedious..any suggestions on how to get it out more quickly?
Honestly, after trying to get into Aveda and getting discriminated against for my educational background, I'm not too excited to try their products any time soon.

Great video, seriously considering buying Rough Rider.. How different is it from the Kevin Murphy Night Rider? Also, I would love to see Patricks M3 feature in another brand battle!
I'd really like to see what you'd say about Hanz de Fuko Quicksand, 5 years after your initial review :D I wouldn't mind to see it in a brand battle I just don't know what is similar to it.

Please review brylcreem, not in brand battle just like review it
@@roliggg Hey! So sorry. Working way through.
@@rickyjupe704 Hey, a few other products to get through first but can see what I can do.
Robin James is evo it better than gold digger? U should do a review/ brand battle on it ! ☺️
' This, is brand battle'
Feels great to hear that again!
Feels good to say it again!

Great review bro the rough rider is the best clay in market with a high hold and great matt finish especially for thick straight hair
Apothecary 87 clay pomade vs Lockharts Matt Clay?
Rough rider vs cavalier clay
I own Apothecary and Lockhart's, both are very similar. Lockhart's will give a bit more texture and more matte finish. Apothecary will give a tiny bit of a natural shine and a touch less volume
Love this suggestion!
@robin thank you so much for listening to us ... cheers

Not a rant at all. Very interesting to hear your thoughts.
Great brand battle Robin! Have you tried the Moroccan Oil Texture Clay yet?!
I have!
Your content is impeccable Robin James! Keep up the great work!
I love the brand battles. Thanks robin. We love you!!
Ah, thanks Jennifer
Clinique skincare vs kiehl skin care or any other skincare products.
Love those brands!
Aren’t they both owned by L’Oréal?
@@cheezuschrist1102 Nope. They are owned by Estée Lauder.
Firesoul Max you might wanna double check that
@@cheezuschrist1102 what about Clarins
Templeton tonic Oasis clay vs Arcadian Matte paste.
Or just review Oasis Clay individually. Lots of hype around it. Several channels calling it the best product of the year.
It really is that good. Will depend on your hair length though.
Need to try!
@@orlandovflores I hope so. I needed a new product as I was running out & I ordered Oasis Clay on Friday based on the good feedback I've been seeing.

Another will be up in 2 weeks!
Best channel on RUclips! Waiting for the Man for Himself show on E
Cheers Aaron! And that would be great.
I love your channel. Your videos are very educational, and have been very helpful to me. I religiously watch you and Blumaan.
Thought of buying one of them then you uploaded.
Perfect timing!
Round 2, here we go! 😃
Hope you enjoyed!

RR is epic!
Tiege Hanley - as soon as it sponsored by Tiege your credibility tanks.
Kevin Murphy Night Rider vs Patrick's M2 would be a great battle
man i gotta say im really digging your new look, the classic haircut with the short beard, very cool
Thanks Sunny
Lookin good as always, nice seeing you Robin!
Thanks Jacky.
Absolutely loving the new series of Brand Battle 👍🏻
Thanks!
Bought Kevin Murphey's Rough Rider yesterday, really excited to trying it out! I'll definitely come back to let you know what i think Robin.

Great job, Robin!
Really enjoy this series
YAAAAS BRAND BATTLE 🔥🔥🔥
ITS MAAA FAVVVV❤️
Mine too!
Hey Robin, I love your videos.
Can you please do a brand battle or even just a review of Scotch Porter Hair Balm?
Hey! I don't know the brand but will be sure to check it out.
Nice to see tiege hanely in one of these videos.
Aha, the editing, and the quality has improved!
Thanks v. much. On the up!
@@ManForHimself That's great to hear. Haven't been on RUclips for a long time, so it's a HUGE upgrade from the last time I saw a Brand Battle.
Can you do Morocanoil texture clay vs Morris motley styling balm?
Other is balm, other is clay, how tf you make comparison?
@@Tonaldo90 they are similar products
Morrocanoil gives a better dry gritty texture with insane separation in my opinion, and just washes out easier with water
Kevin Murphy products are true to their words....I absolutely love them!
Such a great brand!

Hey! Ah, that's a shame. I've though the service and delivery was pretty good.
Wow it would be great if you do the Odous Matte Paste vs the Arcadian Matte Paste !!
Amazing video as always
Thanks Michel
Lockart's Transcend vs Salon Guy Clutch XL or Pregame
i love that thumbnail
Thanks Kevin!
Great video mate👍👍
Dynamite clay by vilain vs first hand supply clay........(on your next video) 😀
Thanks!
Still waiting for the moroccanoil texture clay review! ❤️🙄
Good things come to those who wait.
Next brand battle should be about budget styling products
Give me some suggestions!
@@ManForHimself something from the Schwarzkopf range like beach matte against the loreal range like txt flame. Or something from American Crew against label m
I'd like to suggest doing a all-star episode, putting winners vs winners
Great suggestion!
Rough rider is unstoppable, hope you brand battle cavalier clay and ocean clay , that would be nice 🥰
Oasis and claymation
Thanks
Atleast this season brand battle consider Tigi bed head hair products
No. Very meh products.
Old spice vs American crew would be cool
Robin you have killed it
Can I get heart
Always, Luka!
@@ManForHimself OMG THANK YOU
Heres a weird question, what do you do with your hair when lifting/working out? I find myself just wearing a hat most of the time
Always impressed with your video's.
Thanks Danielle!
Best budget waxes: Tigi Bed head matte separation vs Fish soho wax
Khoi Le Tigi is really the best one in this price class
Good idea!
@@LukasBlau I actually don't know man. Tigi is good, but the Fish stuff is cheaper and also very good. Would be very interesting
Damn...why didn't I watch this before I bought Aveda. I need that hold that doesn't drop.
Awesome battle
Thanks Marcelo
kevin murphy night rider vs kevin murphy rough rider
Stickmore Styling Cream vs Fatboy Sea Salt Pomade
Completely agree with this one 🔥
Cheers

What would you like to do with your hair?
You should try Clay wax by „Gold“. It is one of the best clays on the market.
I like the sound of this.
Label m Matt paste vs Evo Box O’Bollox texture paste
Nice video. I really like Aveda's products and the Grooming clay. After the video, I will try to buy Kevin Murphys clay
Let me know if you try it.
Great Battle
Thanks!
What's up Robin, you should review some of your favorite scented candles
Good idea! Especially for cooler months.
Perfect hair Robin 👌
Thank you!
maybe one on oasis clay and claymation?
Like this idea!
is there any brand with medium high shine + bentonite?

Hadn't realised!
Hi Robin could you do a brand battle between the Lush Big shampoo and the CHRISTOPHE ROBIN sea salt shampoo? Great video once again!
Two faves!
I wanna see a Hanz de Fuko claymation vs Baxter of California clay pomade
I’m not sure if you got your hands on it before they sold out BUT Shear Revival x O’douds WAX vs By Vilain Wax Zero would be amazinggggg
I see your current palette is Autumn ready, I like it! Lockhart are releasing a couple of products lately , what about a brand battle with Lockhart?
LOVE Lockharts. Will look out for the new releases.
Maybe some creams in next battle? Flagship Texture Cream vs Lockharts Enigma? That would be very solid and different 🤔
Enigma isn't really a post styler though🤔
Great suggestions.

Oasis Clay by Templeton Tonics.
Still to try!
Robin, I have a similar hair type and length to yours. Would you reccomend Rough Rider or Night Rider for me?
lockhart's Enigma vs mousse (for pre styling).. battle
Goodfellow & Co. Texturizing Fiber(it's a clay w/ both bentonite & kaolin)
VS(either of these) K.M Rough Rider or EVO Cassius Clay
Make a video on stickmore clay fiber vs cavalier clay or fifth sample pomade vs any other strong pomade
Need to try!
Have you tried Easy Rider by Kevin M.? So lovely and smells amazing
Cavaliers by Blumaan vs Ocean Clay
Could be a shout!

Are any of these by any chance non-comedogenic? If not, what styling product would you recommend for acne prone skin? Cheers
it seems like rough rider would compare to byvilains dynamite clay, is that correct?
Robin.. which one do you prefer O douds matte paste or Arcadian matte paste ?
Brand Battle? 😏
@@ManForHimself would like to watch this two brand compare each other.. similiar bottle with similiar texture .. confuse with this 2 brands..

Does Kevin Murphy’s Rough rider have the same packaging than Patrick’s M3? Awkward…
I impressed by Kevin Murphy
It's a great brand.
Easy win for Kevin Murphy Rough Rider.......It should have competed with something like claymation,cavalier clay,label m matte paste etc.
