I like them cause they give a little more insight to what the hard core community thinks and argues about but I don't know about cause I don't peruse forums as much.

Hello from the future! If you still have the bag, or any other leather that isn't as supple or soft as you think it could/should be, get some 100% pure Neetsfoot oil (only get the pure stuff). Apply thin coats and it'll soak it up and rejuvenate quickly. I use it on my satchel, belts, and even my denim patches. Great stuff, cheap, and a little goes a long way.

A video on pommade is a direct attack to us bald followers but I'll allow it. This time. I have to get a new knife. I had one that was a groomsman gift but it flew off of my motorcycle one day near a playground and I couldn't find it. My wife commented "whatever child finds it is going to be the luckiest / most dead kid on that playground!" And,yes, finding the perfect notebook is a lifelong journey. I've recently settled on 4" x 5.5" notebooks (Moleskine, Zequenz,etc.) with tons of pages for work because they're not too small yet can fit in the chest pocket of blazers when on the move.

A video on pomade would be interesting. Once upon a time i used pomade (tried many different brands) and then one day i realized how greasy it looks and what a pain it is to wash it out. The last straw for me was when on dates girls tried to comb with their hands through my hair. Not nice. Since then i usually use just a little bit of matte clay. I'm actually surprised you use pomade, I would've guessed it's some kind of hair cream. Your hair looks fluffy, not greasy and the strains don't seem to stick that much. And yes, before you're weirded out: i think I've used pretty much every single hair product there is on this planet.
@TheIronSnail3 жыл бұрын
HA i used to use hairspray and people would touch my hair and be like “…oh…crunchy…” There are a few pomades that have worked for me but matte clays are the absolute best. And yeah I’m using a clay in this video!! I go back and forth and try and mess around with different things all the time!
@Iceberqe3 жыл бұрын
@@TheIronSnail yeah, gotta be careful with hair spray or you'll have the equivalent of a hedgehog, or worse, an armadillo grabbing onto your skalp. Glad to hear you're experimenting too, I'm still on the hunt for the unicorn that is the perfect hair product. A small tip for my fellow bros who might be reading this and have problems with unruly hair: what I've found is that washing your hair with shampoo more rarely, aka every four days or so, does wonders to your hair. You can still rinse it under cool water every day, just don't use any shampoos or soaps. The naturals oils in your hair give it an amazing shine, hold and make weavy hair straight. If you're looking for a bit more hold and defined style use a bit of matte paste or clay. Counterintuitively it's not greasy or disgusting at all. Your hair gets dry and super greasy only when you abuse frequent hair washes and hair products. Anyways. This comment might be weird but i figured as long as this channel still hasn't blown up we weirdos are among ourselves.
