@Lord GigaByte You should shave that hair you have on the top of your head. It's foul

[@davidweihe6052]

@Lord GigaByte I already tried growing a beard in the weeks before finals in college - it didn't work out well :-) And cigars foul up the cigar room, too, but you grow habituated if you confine it. OTOH, there is still the outdoors.

[@kermitmurder5536]

@Lord GigaByte same situation here

[@Paul_Rohde]

As a young boy, I knew I would never shave. Removing a thin layer of skin with a product everyday seemed so unnatural and unhealthy. As well as a big waste of time.

Here's an April Fools idea for next year, a video only in German. Without subtitles.

It would be a non-april fools day video too. I would really appreciate if it is about a gentlemanly subject from Germany.

Hallo Sven, Ich komme genau wie du auch aus Deutschland und seit einiger Zeit hatte ich immer mehr Lust bekommen mich „schicker“ bzw. wie ein Gentleman anzuziehen aber wie das heutzutage in Deutschland ist, ist es sehr schwer von einem auf den anderen Tag statt mit Kappe und Hoodie mit Anzug und Kravatte in die Schule zu gehen.Ich schätze deine Videos sehr und sie geben mir das Gefühl,dass es nicht so schwer seien kann und vermutlich hört sich das verrückt an aber für einen 13 jährigen Jungen wie mich ist es nicht leicht sich einfach so zu kleiden wie man möchte...Ich danke dir für all die Mühe die du in die Videos steckst und ich kann dir sagen es gibt niemanden auf You Tube der so gute Videos zu diesem Thema macht wie du ! Mach weiter So !!

[@gaylordsupreme8824]

Rapide Wechsel im Stil führen meist eher dazu das Leute dumme Sprüche reißen und so nen Mist als flüssige Übergänge. Ich würde dir den Tipp geben erst mal damit anzufangen nach und nach Hemden zu tragen. Fang vielleicht an mit etwas 'modischeren' Hemden wie Flanellhemden oder einfach Hemden in anderen Farben als ein klassisches weiß. Bei uns an der Schule laufen auf jeden Fall einige etwas eleganter herum. Dann kannst du halt noch irgendwann, wenn du eh schon meistens Hemden trägst Hosen ins Spiel bringen die keine Jeans sind, und deine Sneaker könntest du dann auch ersetzen. (Denk aber dran das du mit deinen dreizehn Jahren vermutlich noch wachsen wirst, also investiere vielleicht nicht in 300€ Schuhe und Hemden für 50€ das Stück)

After visiting Strasbourg twice last year (yes it is that awesome), when the wife and I came back to Canada, she had to learn how to make spaetzle. The food in the Alsace is amazing.

It’s so pleasing to watch a video in english and german words are pronounced correctly

[@johncirello8676]

I watch these videos and think I’m being watched. The scotch, Mixed drinks, hand written notes, fountain pens, cigars and pipes. These are all things I do and enjoy.

[@egsi]

You have such a pleasant voice!

[@maxchoroba868]

Dear Mr. Schneider! I highly appreciate your content. Please continue releasing your helpful and interesting videos.

[@EddyWoon]

Thanks for the great content. As for point 12, if the opposing party is a closed minded arguement based not on actual fact or cooperation, I just let them vent and not counter so that I can politely end the charade and do something else more productive.

[@hanwenyap]

You forgot shoe shining! It's a really valuable skill to learn and its much easier than mixology. The Elegant Oxford has tons of videos making mirror shining achievable in only 30 minutes. I've started using fountains pens and I'm picking up leathercraft during lockdown.

Old fashioned, martini, margarita, and Moscow mule. People love them, they are shelf stable, and they are easy to make

The stuff this channel makes is actually useful, most channels out there talk about stuff that people would normally never even do or use.

[@jerardorojas7164]

Pardon my French but, i fucken love these videos!! I think all schools should have course based on your teaching. It'll make more young boys to be more polite and respectful. Not just to society but women and elders. Your doing a great job and i hope you never stop making videos.

[@humphreybradley3060]

Great ideas! For cocktails I can highly recommend Shaken, a book that walks you through all 007’s cocktails from the Ian Fleming novels rather than the films. Utterly fabulous cocktails! Available as a hard cover book or an ebook.

[@wjvlodek8769]

Good message Sven!! I really liked how you emphasized "enjoying and appreciating" things in moderation.

How about practicing playing chess at home as a gentlemanly skill. Can easily done online now!

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

As for cocktail recipes I find what works best for me is I type them out in a large font and then print them on card stock. Sometimes I laminate them so there’s no worries about getting them wet. The card stock and/or laminating them helps them stand up while leaning against something. Also, you can keep them handy as a reference when you need them and you should be able to get 2-3 recipes on each card.

Perhaps get a rolodex for them, nice art-deco one perhaps

My longest DE razor shave takes 5 minutes with leathering and cold face wash after shaving and straight razor shave about 10 minutes for all 3 passes. Since i started shaving i used a DE razor, my dad tol if i am going to shave i need to shave properly and like a man. He was 38 years in military service and put a lot of military discipline in our home.

[@Reverend_Salem]

my only issue with DE razors is that i cant take them in my carry on luggage. i normally have basic toiletries (razor, toothbrush, deoderant, toothpaste) as well as a spair change of clothes in my carry on luggage, just because if my luggage gets lost, i atleast have something with me.

[@Lylantares]

Whisky is an acquired taste - so true. The husband and I didn't care much for it, but grew fond of Whisky after a few tastings and a bit of trial & error. Now we're both into Sherry or Port cask finished single malts. Also, we learned that Whisky and Chocolate can be a great combo if done right.

[@phillipmoodie9071]

Sven, your very interesting presentation took my memories back many decades, when I was thrown into the "Deep End" with a virtually bottomless Corporate Expense Account, along with an American Express card with unlimited credit, when I had to entertain the Directors of the largest Corporations and the Heads of the largest Australian Federal Government Departments, as well as the visiting CEO's from the World largest Computer Companies. While I was very well qualified in my field of employment I had absolutely no experience in all of the skills that you have explained in such an interesting manner. While I eventually learnt how to spend other people's money, in a stylish manner, it was a stressful "Learning Curve". The major Universities would help their graduates if the practical suggestions that you provide were included in the MBA program. Lol. Phil.

When it comes to gift giving your ears are your best tool in my opinion. One time I overheard how someone loves Mac and Cheese allot to the point they can eat it everyday. So I went to to my pantry and the following day gave the person a bag of 8-10 boxes of Mac and Cheese. I was showered in a warm embrace and made a new friend.

#3 got my cousins written out of our grandparent's will and trusts. They would not ever say thank you or send a note for anything our grandparents did for us and finally, my grandmother got tired of it and disinherited them and passed everything to their kids. My grandparents were definitely people who followed etiqute and proper manners in all situations as a lifestyle and expected the same from their kids and their kids kids.

[@marcozg77]

Something that you can practice at home is espresso. Yes it takes some initial investment, but you don't need a multi-thousand-dollar-machine to start. A DeLonghi dedica is an affordable option for beginners. Just make sure you got a decent grinder and good and fresh beans. I'm doing home espresso for 5 years now and absolutely love the ritual. The coffee is superb and the machinery (I'm using an E61 machine) ist just beautiful.

The lawyer part of my brain (and the small part I have allocated to my corporate tax law class from law school) can't help but wonder if these purchases (the alcohol, mixing tools, glasses, etc.), are considered business expenses because they're being used in a video and if they were listed as purchased with the purposes of using them as props. I'm legit interested in this, now, and the tax breakdown.

His pronunciation of caipirinha was on point which was a very pleasant surprise, seen as the vast majority of English speakers say "capirina" instead. Then again, he did say that his father is Brazillian in another video so he probably knows his fair share of Portuguese... It was a pleasant surprise nonetheless.
