@Brian said in Unpopular opinions:

I will even go to the hardware store for no reason some weekends

i can totally relate, even without the food!

It’s not a gourmet thing by any stretch just a bbq sausage a piece of white bread fried onions and sauce but for some reason as an English guy it’s a very quintessential Aussie thing that I have grown to enjoy

@Brian Sometimes the best things aren't gourmet things.

Forgot to pack my own razor for the trip.

Used Paula's......Absolutely brilliant shave - Now I really talk like a twat.....

[goosehd]

@Giles I’ve done the same before and they are brilliant…however, they are stupidly expensive.

[Tago Mago]

Skip the shave. That’s what I do on holidays. When I used to use one of those multi-blade razors I looked as if I was trying to slash my carotid. Now I use a double edged razor. Nicer shave and cheaper too

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago And so many awesome German safety razors out there! I think I spend about $0.09 per razor blade and it lasts me a couple of weeks.

@seawolf I use a Merkur 23c and Astra superior platinum blades. Maybe halfway through my first box of 100 blades after 6 years

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago I'm using an Edwin Jagger and the same sleeve of Astra blades. A lifetime supply, if you will.

[ZackB]

@seawolf @Tago-Mago +1 for the astra blades. I’ve had my lifetime supply for about 7 years now

[seawolf]

@ZackB I ordered another box by mistake, so now I have two lifetime's worth.

Side note: My name is also Zach B.

[ZackB]

@seawolf yeah I don’t think I’m halfway through my box yet.

I saw that on your website haha, small world and great information on there.

Cannot stand this cropped oversized boxy tshirt trend with the youths these days. Like, when people are cutting a shirt to a raw hem that is just too short. Especially combined with the baggy jeans trend. Not loose fitting jeans, but the full on Jnco vibes. Hard yuck on all of that nonsense.

@chrisjohnnick i agree in principal that it looks silly but as an avid thrifter I'm all for it.

Kids are passing up 60s-70s western and workwear on the racks in favor of cringey stuff i wore in high school ....

[Matt]

@chrisjohnnick dude, you sound so grouchy.

[chrisjohnnick]

@Matt yea probably shoulda posted this in the random rants thread. But just had to speak my truth.

[Matt]

I embrace it. I’m always peeking out the blinds to see what’s up out in the street. I yelled at some kids who took too much candy from our neighbors bowl this Halloween.

[chrisjohnnick]

@GraemeE I mostly get bummed about it when I'm thrifting or at somewhere like Buffalo Exchange. I'm flipping through tees and find an awesome vintage one, only to see that someone has poorly cropped it and passed it on.

I feel like I did a similar thing 20 years ago when everyone wanted super slim shirts, and I took some of my older band tees and tapered the sides and sleeves in. Wish I could undo that and have them back in their original size!
