Grooming and Hygiene

[goosehd]

@pechelman Thank you and once again, you have a beautiful collection.

May I ask which razor this one is? It look's quite old compared to the rest of the group, well used, and loved. Sheffield?

[pechelman]

It's definitely a Sheffield. Want to say it's a quarter hollow 6/8 from B.J. Eyre & Co, but I can dbl check when I get home and will update this if I'm wrong. The makers mark was always half missing for me. This is the razor I was thinking about when I mentioned thick blades sharpening keen and quick.

I’ve been using this for a couple of years now and find it quite soothing after a shave. The best way to describe the smell is to imagine a glass of Amaretto.

Grabbed the wolfman pomade in smokey vanilla sent.. overall i dig the wolfman stuff! Not to greasy, perfect hold and the right amount of shine

Shear Revival is having a 25% Mem Day sale this weekend. I stocked up. I’ll never be without a jar of Crystal Lake.

Couple new deodorants that I really like…

@Matt Malin+Goetz one is fresh, they also make my favourite daily Fragrance, Vetiver.

Maybe I have Synaesthesia, but I've always felt it just complemented denim exceptionally well.

[Matt]

@T4920 I’ll try that. I like vetiver.

[T4920]

@Matt it's quite smokey with some nice warmth from the celery seed notes. Subtle and intimate though, perfect for daily wear imo

A day drinking and cooking outside led to myself and two friends dying our hair blond.

Don't ask why, ask why not.

Looks like the The Corinthian from Sandman. It’s not bad.

So I’m trying to transition to a more natural deodorant; I’ve tried a few; salt & stone and malin + goetz to name a couple. Keeps me fresh for an hour or two but after that I’m smelling… err… too “natural”. Are my Mediterranean pits only to be tamed by aluminum? Anyone else running into this? I’d like to say it’s a health conscious concern but honestly looking to reduce pit stains on my nicer white Ts

@flannel-slut I’ve been using Native deodorant for a while and been pleased with the effectiveness. Haven’t noticed any pit stains either Good luck in the search

[Matt]

@flannel-slut the natural deodorants work pretty well for me. I consider myself to be of a Mediterranean stink as well. The trick I’ve found is to never buy the same one twice in a row. If you use the same thing for too long you can build an immunity. The Malian+Goetz works well for me and I really love the Corpus scents. My go to pomade brand, Shear Revival makes a good one. Dove for Men makes a nice aluminum free deodorant. I’ve stayed away from brands like Native due to the high coconut oil content and fear of pit stains.

[SKT]

@Matt is the coconut oil responsible for pit stains or is it bad for another reason? Always ready to learn something new here

[Matt]

It’s my understanding that the oil can stain pits. I regularly google “Beat Deodorants” to see what’s on the lists from various online sources. The ones with coconut oil always list that as a “con.” When you where $100 T-shirt’s you tend to take fewer risks.
