Grooming and Hygiene

@ZackB my wife has been sick since I got mine and can’t smell anything at the moment. I’ve been trying to get her to smell my pits relentlessly. To no avail

[ZackB]

@Mizmazzle , hopefully soon then. Super curious what you think of the Franklin & Roark. My cart is waiting for your review.

@Mizmazzle while my wife isn't sick there was a similar moment where she looked at my with a sideways glance after I asked her to smell my fingers.

[goosehd]

…you guys could also let them smell the open tube. Just saying.

[pechelman]

Where's the fun in that?

[Mizmazzle]

That’s zero fun!! If I can’t annoy and disgust my wife then what meaning does this life have???

[Matt]

@goosehd Downvote.

I don’t find the smell itself when applied to be particularly strong but Katie has commented in the noticeable absence of stink towards the end of the day and following workouts.

[Matt]

There isn’t a place in all the multiverse where she would consent to smelling my fingers though.

@Matt I gave your downvote an upvote, ya cunt.

@goosehd nope. Same as perfume smells different on a paper strip and on your skin

@Matt said in Grooming and Hygiene:

Nothing is for everyone. Except Wu Tang.

I’ll disagree on principle just to be contrarian

[Matt]

I thought that’s what @endo and @pechelman were doing.

[endo]

no, but to have a good old fashioned niche luxury international deodorant battle

[Matt]

Just like the good ole days.

The Martin De Candre soap is very good, lathers easily and builds a nice foam cushion quickly. It should last a long time.

The smell is subtle and not overpowering which is good so it does not conflict with any aftershave you choose to use.

The only downside is the size of the jar opening, it is not quite as wide as the Saponificia Varesino tin jars. This makes working the brush into the top of the soap a bit more fiddly, nothing serious just obvious once you have got used to a larger jar aperture.

My current travel shaving setup. Miss my brush and soap but this sure packs better.

@68degreesorless I’ve always liked Jack Black stuff. Use their “Double-Duty Face Moisturizer” pretty much every day
