Grooming and Hygiene

[T4920]

Fresh cut and my quarterly nose wax.
I secretly love the pain...

Best picture you’re gonna see on the forum today. Well done @T4920

[T4920]

@SKT you should see my nostrils

[SKT]

Clean as a whistle

[Matt]

I kinda want to do this

[jordanscollected]

My ex was a hair stylist who also did waxing. At that time (late 90's) I shaved my head bald with a razor so she never actually cut my hair, but I had this idea to have her wax my head. I made it one strip on my temple before abandoning the idea.

Waxing your noggin sounds painful

[Matt]

Katie offered to wax my back and I couldn’t believe it. Best wife ever.

[SKT]

Ask her about the nose next.

[Matt]

I can probs do that myself. Ima look into it later.

[SKT]

Melt some crayons, load a q-tip with melted crayons, stick in nose. Let rest for 5. Pull fast and sure. Done

[T4920]

Would recommend. My nostrils aren't even that hairy but I enjoy the whole process of feeling the warm wax solidify, the barber chuckling expecting me to flinch then being disappointed when I no sell it like a fucking champion...

When I worked in Tunisia in 2011, it was always included as part of the package. Had it done quarterly ever since.

[SKT]

Like a full-service tune-up. I’m down

[Matt]

Hm. I’ve seen it on IG but never had it done. I’ll take gratuitous photos to document.

[SKT]

That’s a must and sounds like a commitment.

Shaved using a straight razor for the first time. I’ve been hesitant to do it myself, but finally pulled the trigger. Took it very slow and steady by letting the blade do the work.

Initial thoughts are that I love it. After using electric, Gillette multi blade type razors, safety razors, and now a straight razor, I can’t believe I waited this long.

…and to add. I always loved getting a proper shave by a barber using a straight blade, but the thought of doing it and cutting myself was what held me back.

Got to a point where finding a barber who still uses straight razors is just about impossible and there’s no reason not to learn a new skill.
