I would advise against using a relaxer. (1) the stuff is nasty. It chemically burns your hair (and often your scalp with it). (2) It's much, much easier to work WITH what we've got, instead of against it. The grass is always greener, and most people want what they don't have. Case in point: my...

I had a pair of AE Westgates in black that I scored at Nordstrom Rack for $50. I was really surprised at how nice they looked in person, especially once I had them shined up properly. I got married in them 2 1/2 years ago, and they vanished in the chaos sometime between the vows and flying...

I didn't say he should wear something else.

sweet tip, thanks!

I posted somewhat in another thread, but I can restate it here, I guess. :D I use an injector-style razor (disposable straight razor), with Feather "Professional Super" blades. I use a badger hair brush. When I have the money, I use pre-shave oil, nice sensitive-skin shave soap, and a nice...

I hear ya. A good straight razor is pricey (especially when you add in the strop, and the brush, etc.), and it's a bit terrifying at first. I also found the whole regimen rather inconvenient. I learned on a straight razor, but eventually switched to an 'injector' style straight razor with the...

No matter how close a cartridge blade can shave, it can't go more than an inch in a 3-day beard without having to clang out the whiskers... so I will be sticking to my Feather Super-Professional disposable straight razor. ;D

In that case, you can find them much closer to you at thechap.net Under Shop>Suspenders at GBP12.50

Hi all, new here. I got my sock garters at sockdreams.com (no affiliation) for $16 and love them.
