Hey James! Good to hear from you.

Claymation is a really good choice. It was one of the first clays I used and worked with. We have a dedicated clays section on Products (https://manforhimself.com/product-tag/clay/), but…

Moroccanoil Texture Clay has become one of my favourites. Matte finish, good hold and LOADS of texture – https://manforhimself.com/products/moroccan-oil-texture-clay/
Aveda Grooming Clay is also great. Looser hold but texture again. It’s also packed full of ‘good for your hair’ ingredients – https://manforhimself.com/products/aveda-grooming-clay/
Firsthand Supply Clay Pomade is a really solid investment. Easy applied, easy styled. A light hold but a beautiful finish to it – https://manforhimself.com/products/firsthand-supply-clay-pomade/

Keen to hear about other products from other guys too.

Johnny’s Chop Shop’s Wild Cat Clay works pretty well in my experience – found it to give a good hold + endurance plus it’s really malleable as well. All at an awesome price point. Robin you should give it a go! Otherwise I always recommend Morris Motley’s TSB – Altho I see it more as a clay paste rather than a traditional clay.

I’m a huge fan of the Tempeltons tonics Oasis and Shear revivals northern lights. Oasis I use as a pre styler as well and get some great results! Just be cautious when ordering Oasis as some of them have quite a strong smell.

Hi James,

Personally I am a big fan of Label M matt paste and also the O’douds matte paste really both great products I have heard great reviews on shear revival northern lights as Chris mentioned above, I would say if you can get your hands on any testers from locals stores or can buy travel sized containers would be the best way to find your best product!
