“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.” ― Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms: The Play

Nice leatherman. I haven't used a penknife since I was a teenager, around that time knives started to become demonized so I just didn't own a pocket knife for many years... until! - I bought a small Victorinox on holiday as a souvenir - the same as the one you have on your key ring. I'd forgotten just how useful they are, including the scissors, tweezers and screwdriver. So, I bought the Victorrinox 'Hunstman' - a real classic, in the original red and it stays in my pocket. (What a rebel!). It's legal in the uk, being less than the prescribed legal length and non-lockable. Red's a good colour choice to because it's hopfully immediately recognisable for what it is. Obviously I don't have it with me when I go out disco dancing or start playing with it on a bus!

Have you considered looking into any types of pomades instead of using the gel? They can have many benefits over the gel such as not hardening in your hair and can be quite nourishing for your hair as well. Or you could even use a more traditional types that might suit you better with how you enjoy things having a heritage behind them. Forgive me if it something you have already looked into and didn't like especially with oil based pomades they do not wash out easily. But there are many now adays to choose from to suit everyone it seems.

Haven't tried Floris, but I will give it a try. Have you tried Fragonard? First found it in the late 90's on a high school trip to Paris. I wear Fragonard F! now days. But if I'm sailing, the only cologne that is pungent enough to cover the smell of gin and rum is old spice. Have nothing to say negative about the bag, it looks very nice. I just prefer something with a shoulder strap myself so I can keep my tea hand and my phone hand free. They are a bit overpriced and pretty kitsch-y, but the field notes I've found don't get crumpled up in my bag because of the thicker front and back covers. I now have a waxed leather holder for it with a pen loop so I stop losing my parker as I have the same problem as you. Keeps them all together. Also as a macbook user, amazon has USB-C/USB-A double sided Thumb drives that make it easier to transfer files without the need for a dongle and fit on a keychain. Not sure how new your macbook is, but it's saved my life a few times when I forgot my dongle in my hotel room.(go ahead and giggle folks, real mature)

Thanks for sharing your EDC - Sachel Edition, Tristano. Good taste on Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. His wisdom and Stoic principles are timeless. You said not to laugh, but I couldn't help but chuckle when you went from a "prissy" felt bag, and brought out the Super Mario bags. Love the duality here with the $500 designer leather case and Rolex on one side, while rocking the G-Shock and Nintendo/Super Mario gear on the other.
