[@nulle.k]

Yeah let us know

[@RhacsandMTG]

No way he was wearing pants during this one

[@digitalaether]

Life hack #36, if viewed only from your chest up, forget pants!

[@carltrotter7622]

If he wasn't wearing trousers, his shirt wouldn't be gathering at his chest as it is here. Besides, his wife films these and I doubt he'd ever be so indecent.

[@ShadowBeta]

Carl Trotter why he would be ashamed of your own wife? every night mine sees my dude so i don’t need to be ashamed of anything with my wife

[@danelisslow3269]

​@@carltrotter7622I'm sure his wife has seen more before.

[@richardthered]

Tip.. Acorn cap make a good helmet for a field mouse

[@Silverhand290]

Now that is a bloody good idea. I like your thinking. Then Mr Mouse is ready for when things get heavy down in the field

[@jamess.michaud2108]

And a chestnut husk makes a more intimidating helmet for the opposing army.

And to think I paid for an education.

[@Dm01ition]

I absolutely love how he matched his suit and the colors. This is definitely how I want to dress as I learn my own style

[@DoomFinger511]

The shirt collar and belt trick is good. I've used that one before. You save space AND keep your shirt crisp. Be careful with that razor on the jean tricks. A lot of new blades have moisture strips that will get all over your pants. #33 is good, you can also just drink the bourbon instead of gargling. Drink enough and you won't feel the sore throat or any other feelings for that matter.

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

I used shoe polish on my window. Bad idea.

Came here accidentally, but gonna stay and watch every video you have ever produced. Subscribed and gonna tell every close friend to check your channel out. Besides from some mic problem, your content, body language, your voice, your smile and your confidence all went well. Thanks and please produce more.

[@eoinmaclean6478]

Thank you! When my brother came back from the Marine Corps, he introduced me to powers of windex on his patent leather parade shoes; however, he first wiped them down with pledge before using the windex. I’m glad you mentioned it here.

[@applejuice6218]

Why am I watching this I'm 15

[@emmanuelcantero3370]

xApple Gaming Backup better to learn now

[@Silverhand290]

At least you're not watching something you wouldn't want your mother to see, while you have something else in your hand that you really wouldn't want her to see. Things can "always" be worse.

[@corporate.security]

19, but same point.

[@gumpad]

18, and I can tell you that its never too early to learn how to be a gentleman.

[@alikhawar520]

Because every guy has a gentleman inside :-)

[@goldensonar]

My goodness you look so sharp. Well done. Very nice video. Thank you for educating people for free.

[@tmorente]

My friend swears by the neck pants technique. I saw her do it once and thougt she was trying to mess with me. Then my mom stepped in and said, it really works, so I tried it, and it works. Incredible

[@jenniferelyse5134]

I don’t know if it’s something gentlemen do, but I learned how to sew a long time ago and find it very handy to carry a mini emergency sewing kit in my purse almost at all times. That way no matter what I can usually repair something last minute by hand if necessary. I know most can’t take this on a plane but for day to day it’s incredibly useful.

[@theragingplatypus4743]

That pants hack around the neck is great...It even let's you know which pants to take to the dressing room!

[@tofu.delivery.]

The last beer goes unopened rip

[@kadarienfinley2197]

Or you can open it with a lighter.

[@xacbertdebarbeira_]

Or, you could just open it with the inside of the opening of an already opened bottle?! Needs a little practice and some feeling in your fingers, but works just fine after, say, the second or third try.

[@jackmioff100]

You'll be drunk enough by then to use your teeth :D

[@KarlMySuitcase]

I used to use my cellphone back in the day (pre smartphone nokia)

[@Angelo-ix9to]

Use a Spoon or Fork

[@RS-cl5wg]

To get a perfect dimple in your tie, use this safety pin life hack. After you put on your tie, pull the wide part of the tie about an inch above the knot. Use your fingers to squeeze the section of the tie that you just pulled to create a vertical fold along the middle. While holding that fold, use your other hand to put a mini safety pin on the underside to keep the fold in place. At this point you can let go and tighten your tie at usual. The safety pin will be hidden inside the tie knot and your tie will have a perfect dimple.

I remove wrinkles from a dress shirt by putting the shirt into my dryer with a damp, clean wash cloth. Works like a charm.

[@arca5200]

Great video! Only the audio is somehow messy.

[@dominicthedefiant3210]

Thank God, I thought that was my headphones.

[@danhelms8134]

Listening in the car with my kids and my 9 year old says "this has nothing to do with being a gentleman. This is just about how to dress nice." I asked him what he meant and he says "being a gentleman is like holding doors for girls or being nice to dogs or being polite to old people. Lots of people are gentlemen even if they don't dress nice." Proud father moment. I don't care how a man dresses. I care how he treats others, that he's honest, that he respects and defends things worth respecting. Buy all the fountain pens and cuff links you want. Money can't buy class.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Character, class, etiquette, manners, fashion, etc are all elements of a proper gentleman.

[@cookiedough5055]

I think your son meant ‘holding doors for EVERYONE.’

[@EvilThunderB0lt]

The word Gentleman directly comes from Gentry as in the upper class Lords of manors. The understanding now in the colloquial sense is to be a nice guy. That is wrong. Gentlemen=super wealthy land owners

[@Samthebritishgent]

Nothing wrong with added elegance though

[@buddhastl7120]

Meh. We (Americans) have taken this idea to the extreme. To each their own but I’m kinda sick of seeing men dressed like boys at nice restaurants in sweats and ball caps.

[@auto_math]

To Keep your tabacco humid it's best to use a carrot, they used to sell it with tabacco in the olden days.

[@rockypower5168]

Wouldn't that affect the flavour?

[@jkrause365]

Useful and practical. Thanks.

[@alibhamani]

Thanks... For sharing valuable life hacks ideas with us. I m a great fond of your communication accent. It's lovely!

[@jwkim0822]

Wow great channel! A lot of information that is actually useful. Thanks!

[@frankschipani7682]

I just found your channel about a week ago and I really enjoy your videos.

[@njaneardude]

Use Pledge on patent leather shoes. Marine corps trick.

[@s.romito1059]

njaneardude is right with that one. I learned that same trick from a Tux shop I worked for. works incredibly well.

[@Tylerthomasmiller84]

Sure, you can use pledge to clean and keep dust free, but if you want to see your reflection, use Black Magic tire shine.

[@giantskunk]

Endust works too

[@TheRealMarxz]

another shoe hack - if you're short on shoe rack space, turn one show backwards (toe pointing out but still right way up) depending on your foot width you can fit an extra 20% (so a length of space that takes 5 shoes can now take 6 shoes - for my shoe rack which is three rows high that means instead of 15 shoes/boots it now fits 18 shoes/boots)

[@robertarnold6192]

One life hack I like to use: If you need to polish silver and don't have tarnish remover, toothpaste and an old toothbrush works almost as well. Just make sure to brush thoroughly and do the process two or three times if needed.

[@robertarnold6192]

I can't personally verify if this works on other metals, but it may be worth a try.

[@claremiller9979]

Just a sad note on the lemon juice for swear stains tip - this might work for some people, but others will never be able to get stains out unfortunately. It has to do with body chemistry, my parents run a dry cleaner and they occasionally have to tell people that they'll just have to buy new shirts or dresses, or wear different colours, because their body chemistry just stains certain white fabrics irrevocably.

[@eddyg5877]

I never leave home without a piece of stale bread in my pocket

[@sartajsajid7751]

[@bardolph77]

Wow, I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Kudos.

[@ABeardedDad]

love the paperclip collar stay idea!

[@heyricksander]

You could use some more bass in your audio my friend, maybe some reverb.

[@googleplusisvetkutgast]

please don't make this worse. He should just invest in a decent mic.

[@Olliemen1]

Rick Sander perhaps some autotune and subtle delay?

[@toxikprophetbeats]

Reverb? Xddd

[@daniel_lisbona]

Sorry to tell you sir, but if you dont want your shining shoes to get matte, dont put windex on it. Also never use windex on your glasses (except glasses made of glas) if you dont want to get the same matte look. Windex is way to aggressive, Use microfiber towels with water instead

[@spicyalphacrocodle3432]

dude ur so optimistic its amazing u have just earned a sub

[@BrianPhase90]

Love this dude's parlance.

[@bazpc]

Dear Raphael, could you do a video on (or include in a life hack video) buttoning double breasted coats and overcoats quickly. Any tips or techniques on a greater sleight of hand when buttoning that anchor button would be appreciated! Thank you.

[@gentlemansgazette]

We can add that to our to-do list ;)

[@saleemwaheed9956]

This video was amazing! I should of watched it immediately. I'll never use a lint roller again.

[@Q-BOT]

Very informative, right? By the way, the phrase is "should have" rather than "should of".

[@SkogarmaorFeder]

Most say "should've" which sounds like "should of" which is why many misspell it.

[@carltrotter7622]

I have had a chance to use the paperclip hack whenever I go outside without my Collar Stays, works just as well! Thanks for the video!

[@brenttesterman3171]

Amazing, simply amazing! Thank you kindly.

[@gentlemansgazette]

No worries!

[@turbopokey]

Some might say this is nitpicking but it isn't, salt does not make ice colder. It chemically forces a change in the state of matter from solid to liquid and that requires a large amount of energy. This energy comes from warm beer or soda that you put into it, cooling it rapidly.

[@squiresquiffy3728]

Jolly useful. One to watch a few times me thinks.

[@aronscotttattooer264]

Fantastic! Thank you

[@wbrickey]

Your videos are marvelous.

[@Galantski]

In life hack #33 at 9:49, the word "gurgle" is used to describe how to get rid of a sore throat. More correct is gargle, which is the action made by swishing the liquid in the back of the throat. Gurgle, on the other hand, is more about the sound made than the action taken.

[@raymondconners]

I tried the method of the pants around my neck and had pants that were 10 cm too big in diameter. You have to be a special body type that this hack works.

[@jerryqin4459]

Hey question, will the windex ruin your shoes? Like is it a temporary fix or can I use it multiple times? Thanks

[@gentlemansgazette]

Only use it once if you don't have anything else, but do not use it over and over again. Otherwise the leather will suffer.

[@jerryqin4459]

+Gentleman's Gazette ok got it thanks

Sometimes drycleaners are not performing, and you cannot just wash suit in the machine. Are you going to release a video about spot stain removal from wool/silk/linen suits?

[@acebone2]

only one I knew beforehand was the hack with opening beers. I guess urban-survival is always at the top of ones priorities :)
