Grooming and Hygiene

@JoshC HAHAHAHA that's hilarious and true. Don't get me ranting about how poor a decision it is to eat an ice cream cone.
After my short Abraham Lincoln phase, I moved into an Abraham Ford phase for a week or so, with a handlebar moustache but with long chops.

Lol! That version of you would fit right in in New Orleans. Laissez les bons temps rouler, my man.

@JoshC said in Grooming and Hygiene:
I love a good soup on a winter's day but I go full caveman and don't keep the beard and tash in check soup get all in the moustache end up looking like a bird has nested in there
Try a straw?

@JoshC LOL! I would ask if that was a costume party but no one else is dressed up.
I cant talk though, I rocked a terrible goatee at one point.

Stumbled on this conversation and realised it intersects with another interest. The soup issue is not new and there is an answer:

Thanks I think I will pick some up. I bought a hat from an Iron Heart retailer last year and it smelled awesome….patchouli ish. I reached out to them even to see what the scent might be and they just said “shop smell”..been searching for something ever since

@Tago-Mago same man. We had an amazing time but that’s to be expected with this group. As long as IH keeps throwing parties we’ll be there.
As far as my shaving routine currently it’s super basic now. I don’t baby my face whatsoever. I had a stainless steel ejection blade single edge razor but I wasn’t happy with the closeness of the shave compared to a simple Gillette 3/4/5 blade from the grocery store. I use a hemp oil Nivea for men shaving lotion that I like and the aforementioned aftershave. I shave about every 2-3 days and do it right out of a hot shower.

Not Matt but re shaving, use good shaving soaps like speick or tabac, use a shaving brush to build lather (Simpsons makes good ones), and pickup something like a merkur double edged safety razor. Personally I like the slant head more than the 34hd people always recommend and polsilver blades but ymwv. Rinse face liberally with hot water and then with ice cold. Then finish with a light aftershave or toner such as the alcohol free Thayer's witch hazel with aloe or the loccitane cade if they still make it. Ill use a balm if needed but usually don't. Find anything with lots of shea if you want one like from pre de provence or again loccitane.
I just don't have time to maintain my straight razors anymore but did enjoy them.
