Is that the wierd jelly stuff ny dad used to wash his hands in when I went to visit him at work when I was a kid? He was a mechanic

>>6698

How much better is this stuff compared to, say, a spoonful of sugar mixed into a squirt of washing up liquid? I always found that to be pretty good at getting all such as chain shite off my fingers after working on bikes.

>>6701

It's basically the same idea, but with added moisturiser.

>>6700

Basically, yeah. OG Swarfega was bright green and smelled a bit weird. It's been around since the 50s and is pretty much unbeatable for getting stubborn gunk off your skin. The newer orange stuff smells vaguely orangey and has bits in it.

>>6701

I suspect Swarfega is probably a bit more effective, but the key thing is that Swarfega doesn't fuck up your skin. I used to be a bit careless about it, but a bad case of dermatitis is absolutely excruciating when you work with your hands all day.

>>6703

Yeah, but you can show those hands to a fat gammon in a pub, and just because he "thinks they ain't woofter's hands", he will show you a special handshake to get away with petty crimes.

I don't shave my face that often, and if I do I only ever go down to stubble length with the clippers.

However I do like to keep my bollocks tidy. I have until now been using a combination of the electric clippers to do the majority of the work and then finishing off with a wet disposable razor. It does the trick when you are anticipating a night of passion with a slavic greyhound, but the next couple of days when the stubble starts to come through on the mons pubis and the sides of your sack are always a test of endurance.

What's the issue here, do I need to use a better razor, better shaving gel, moisurise after? All of the above?

>>6688
Don't shave above your cock, you maniac. Shave your balls and cock, then leave the surrounding area trimmed but not completely hairless. Like a fade. If you're all hairy around it, you're going to look like you've borrowed someone else's genitals otherwise.

>>6688

Bollock and arse stubble always itches like hell. Don't shave, it's not appealing, just keep it trimmed.

>>6689

You do the bit just above, and fade it into the line of hair from your belly button. If you don't leave a space you're wasting the entire purpose of shaving- Making it look bigger.

In before "well I don't need to hurr hurr", I'm sure you don't mate, and obviously nor do I, this website has a mean cock size of around 13 inches by my reckoning- And that's just in girth. But who's turning down an extra free inch?

>>6690

Nonsense, the lassies say they like it because then it doesn't itch against their fanny when you bottom out.

>>6691

Shampoo and condition your pubes, then they'll be silky soft.

Christopher Ward are starting to stock older models with the newer logo.

200 metres water resistance sounds like a bold claim for a watch that was less than five quid. Then again, for that kind of money, who cares.

As is 'Japan Movement'.

TK Maxx have a Mondaine smart watch for £150, although it's not my cup of tea.

Hail to thee, blithe wompom!

Hippies believe that coconut oil is exactly such a product, but it just makes them greasy.

3-in-one oil, what's that all about?

I was only really ever planning into Clark's to try on some shoes and get a sizing done, since I can find out my width and the fact Clark's have a relatively standard size.

I've had the same pair of shoes for work since 2017, albeit they didn't have much use between March 2020 and last summer. They're starting to look a little scuffed and the heel on one of them has worn away a fair bit.

Which brands should I consider for their replacements? I got them from Clarks, but I vaguely recall reading something about their quality declining and being taken over by the Chinese in recent years.

>>6571
What do you do? Do you want Screwfix shoes or church shoes?

>>6573
It's to go with a suit, so church shoes. I've had a quick look at the Clarks outlet and the only shoes I like aren't in my size.

>>6574
Loake are always fairly reliable, and on a similar price point to Clarkses.

Soz, I didn't know h2 was that big.

>>6187

That made it funnier somehow.

I've recently started using a shampoo bar. It seems to be providing better results than liquid shampoo.

>>6570
I gave up using shampoo bars because they run out too fast and are a pain to replace, a Pear's soap bar does instead and nobody seems to notice.

If you've got short hair does it really matter what shampoo you use? I can understand why a lass would buy one of those £4 bottles from the shop, but if my hair is only an inch or so long I don't see the point in anything more expensive than a cheapo bottle of Alberto Balsam. It's pretty much all the same thing, right?

>>6414

You're using too much then, a little goes a very long way.

>>6416
Not at all, I've tried the tiniest amounts and it just doesn't seem to work for me. Everybody just has different hair/scalp types, there's no one size fits all when it comes to haircare.

>>6412

>Shampoo obviously

That's not so obvious, when I had long hair the very best thing I did for it was not shampoo it. Just washed it thoroughly in water every third shower.

How do I find a good hairdresser for long-hair? I just moved house so my recent "just tidy up the ends" at an Algerian place turned into a generic cut.

>>6502

A unisex salon is your best bet, for obvious reasons.

>>6134
Yep. Ah well, you get the idea.

>>6132
>half a dozen XXL hoodies all of which are about 20 years old and way too big for me.
Depressingly, I now fit my old XXL hoodies rather well. They are still comfy as fuck, those gym rats can keep their lycra as far as I'm concerned.

Once I hit my late 30s and had a bit of a mid-life crisis, I went the opposite way. The sudden realisation that I was creeping up to 22 stone and getting married, was the kick up the arse I needed to lose weight. I am at the heaviest I have been in 5 years at 16 stone, but at my lightest I was 14 and a half.

Have jeans changed recently? I've just bought a couple of pairs online and I don't know if it's the crotch or the legs but they seem a bit... different from my other pairs of jeans. Then again, most of the other jeans that I own were bought roughly seven or eight years ago so they may have just worn to my shape with age.

>>6421

High or low fitting crotch and seat areas of jeans are one of the features that designers like to mess with for the sake of fashion. I could be wrong, but I think the tendency is toward low seats and crotches for men right now.

>>6396
Thanks both for the estimate on pricing.

>have you ever found anywhere that does boxer shorts which have the dick-opening but NO BLOODY BUTTONS?
It depends if you want proper oldschool boxers or modern boxer-briefs. I buy these, which have no buttons, but a sort of double alternating flap arrangement to prevent escape:

Sorry didn't fully digest your first paragraph. I'm down south so don't worry about asking your friend, but thanks for the offer.

Regatta stuff looks promising though, I'll look through their options. Cheers lad.

Why are all their trousers named like they're sequels to shitty action films?

>>6397
>>6398
Thank you very much for those suggestions. Even if they don't have what I want (a horizontal dick window?!?!?), they will give me some clues on what sort of words I'll need to search for, so it's incredibly helpful.

You can't go wrong with Uniqlo Heattech.

Aldi usually do good value thermal underwear at this time of year, but things are a bit weird due to logisticsgeddon and there are no guarantees.

British Thermals do a good longjohn. I've had a pack of 3 for a few years, usually worn under oversized corduroys. they're brilliant - worth the £15 price tag, but it's pushing it a bit.
I'd avoid 3/4 lengths, you can really feel the difference at your ancles even in full length ones.
Thanks for reminding me to buy a vest.

>>6382

What did I say about that prick?

Thanks both.

>>6383
Yeah .. mine have a cock window in the front, nothing like the pics shown. Maybe i got a old design? Still, the thermals are worn beneath your usual clothes, so you'll only feel like a prick.

>>6368
>Adidas Gazelle

I don't know anything about dyeing them - but Gazelles are my favourites and I have a few pairs, so definitely into that.

>>6360
Age / fatness are a factor here.

No. Some jeans and trousers are made with 2% elastane, which gives them a subtle stretch without the bunched-up look of an elasticated waistband.

>his whole career working towards bringing radical socialist change

Before becoming Labour leader what had he actually achieved in that respect?

>>6355

That's like asking what an astronaut had actually achieved up to the point of stepping onto the rocket.

>>6354

Corbyn has achieved a remarkable amount, and what's interesting in the UK is that figures like Corbyn tend to highlight the ugliest aspects of our political system and media just by existing. The electorate response was not as simple as "lol nope", it took a concentrated campaign to paint eminently sensible and popular policies as tethered to someone who was inept, a security risk, a racist antisemite, a terrorist sympathiser, a communist, a poor dresser, whatever else. Every personality-based and emotional provocative button had to be pushed in a very cynical fashion, and it was so explicit that large sections of society can either no longer ignore it, or have caught onto the game for the very first time. I imagine it was pretty eye opening to the younger generation.

This kind of thing is hard to measure, but what Corbyn and the 2019 version of Labour represented probably isn't going to die, but take a new form. This can go one of many ways, and I think the worst would be to follow in the footsteps of the U.S., where electoral politics becomes increasingly meaningless in terms of economic policy and the public who do bother to vote simply go for whoever makes them feel good -- a comforting Reagan, an angry Trump, an amusing Boris Johnson.

>>6357
When it comes to economic policy electoral politics in Britain has been mostly meaningless since the late 1980s. I would specifically date it to when Labour internally agreed to back entry to the European exchange rate mechanism (despite their tiny rump of Eurosceptics winning the argument that it was a terrible idea) because despite the fact it was obviously a terrible idea Labour felt the best way to buy economic credibility with the electorate was to copy the Tories inept economic policy.
(Cynically, perhaps they were right: When the ERM imploded who remembered that Labour's policy was the same?)

2017 is a possible exception where the electorate got a real and viable choice for change (if you only look at the polls and the result) but I find it hard to believe Labour would've actually voted through its own budgets had it won.

>>6357

>Corbyn has achieved a remarkable amount
