Needle, thread and some old fabric of a similar colour. S'not hard to repair, just run 2 parallel backstitches about 1cm from the tear.

Buying clothes online is an absolute ballache, however you can can 100% (man made) cotton joggers for cheap as fuck from the likes of TK Maxx and Sports Direct.

You can also buy organic cotton ones from elsewhere online. They are the comfiest at home trousers I've ever bought. Tracksuit trousers are also surprisingly warm and very comfortable.

I've started using tshirt rags as flannels, but they're very thin and the same ones i wipe my dick with. A torn towel is in order.
Checking the cupboards has revealed years worth of christmas grooming products, some of them suprisingly good quality - I'll be using these over the coming weeks.

>>/b/441901
Thanks for recommending that, i appreciate it.

>>6337

Have you ever stopped and thought about why you are like this?

>>6338
Because the plumbing in his house is fucked, he already said.

>>6339
That doesn't affect flannel-availability does it?

Depends what he's using to plug the leaks.

Only suits we're wearing these days are tracksuits lad.

That one signals a very specific lifestyle, if you are Wes Anderson or don't mind being mistaken for him by all means.

If your mates don't expect that kind of style from you they will probably take the piss, if they do it will be entirely accepted. Put it another way.. How middle class are you? I mean everyone thinks they are middle class, but are you actually REALLY middle class, the kind who are incapable of reverse snobbery.

>>6329

If you have to ask, you're not stylish enough to pull it off. Sorry, that's just how it is. Ease yourself in gently with a couple of jaunty blazers for your summer wardrobe and see how you go.

>>6329
If you have a darker skin tone I reckon it would work, but you risk looking like your texture's failed to load if you're the same colour as the suit.

>>6333

My sister spent a fiver on a silky face mask in almost the exact same tone of pink of that suit, she seemed very proud of it until I told her that it made her look like the main character from the "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream", she hasn't worn it since.

Now that this thread has me thinking about it; what are some good city boots/shoes? I walk roughly 4 miles in London conditions for exercise so I've just been using some sturdy trainers but last night the ice when I was walking over a bridge made me feel very uneasy. I fucking hate ice, lads.

What I don't want is something too heavy/bulky as I'm just on a stroll, work/milsec boots I feel would be both OTT and I'd look a bit of a twat (or I might get mistaken for a terrorist).

>>6324

Timberlands or similar would be the "style" choice, while remaining practical. But, there's only so much you can do for ice without having little metal spikes on your soles. Even in proper non slip safety boots, ice is still going to fuck you up.

You can get plastic ice treads that attach to your shoes/boots but that would almost certainly make you look a twat.

>>6324

Adidas Terrex are very good trail shoes and water proof, they cost about £70.

On the subject of hiking books, I have a pair of goretex hunting boots made by a company called Lacrosse that, allegedly, retail for £200-250 but I got them from an outlet store for £70. They have lasted me 10 years of hiking in all weathers and still don't leak, so I'd highly recommend them.

>>6325 You can get plastic ice treads that attach to your shoes/boots but that would almost certainly make you look a twat.

I fell over on the ice yesterday, badly enough that I had to toddle over to minor injuries. Fuck's sake. I _knew_ it was slippy, just stopped paying attention for a moment.
Can you get boots with winter tyre tread? Those small tread blocks with the slits in do fantastic things for cars.

>>6327
It's a pair of these yer wanting. Permagrip soles; Timpsons, £19.99.

This thread gives me the shivers.

I have begun plucking my balls and the base of my benis. I do 50 hairs a day which takes about 3 minutes. In a few weeks the whole area should be clear and I intend to keep doing this and keep my balls hairless.

Thank you for reading my thread.

When it comes to the sack, back, and crack areas I find that chemical hair removal creams (like "Nair") are the most practical solution. You have to be very careful not to leave it on too long due to the sensitivity of the skin in that area, but it's very little effort to scrape away after the cream has done its work.

>benis
Anyone else suspect this is the same as the DIY-circumcision/sandpaper bellend?

>I use a few drops of pure jojoba oil to moisturise.
>It's more effective than any cream/lotion moisturiser I've tried, and cheaper than most.

I picked some of this up recently to see what all the fuss is about. It's okay but seems like people are selling it as a cure for everything when really it's just faintly smelly oil.

There was a suggestion I read that a bit in your hair makes it shine. Well, let me tell you, putting oil in your hair will make it shine but not necessarily in a way you'd want. I might try the suggestion that it's good for shaving but I'm not bloody cooking with it.

As a longhair metalhead type for whom my luscious hair has always been my primary pulling technique, I can't recommend Argan oil enough. It's my secret weapon.

A few squirts before you brush or comb and your hair will be lavish like those wierdly erotic shampoo ads with all the little vitamin molecules wierdly floating into the hair.

>>6286
The dapper bloke at my local newsie recommended this. Shall be trying.

>>6286
I have some argan oil and had to try using different amounts, it always just seems to make my hair greasy, even with the smallest bit. Am I somehow doing something wrong or is my hair just weird? I suppose it's not going to work for everybody.

>>6276
Depends on how risky the surgery is I guess. I did similar for some expensive dentistry many years ago, but I knew the country where I was going, very well indeed. ie if it went wrong and I needed local help or treatment, I knew I could get it and it was pretty easy for me to evaluate the dentist offering it. It was half the price of doing it in the UK and I don't regret it at all - how well do you know Prague?

>>6277

I've never been there. I'd take out medical insurance for the trip. What else would I need to do?

>>6270

Not if you want to be sure there are no scraggly bits at the back and you've done the bits around your ears properly.

>>6271
You get that with practice - the first couple of times its a bit of a horror show, but people soon point it out and you get the hang of it.

>>6272

Also, you can feel it. It should be really obvious if you're doing a razor shave, and at least quite easy to tell with clippers/shaver.

>>6273

It's not that obvious.

>>6272
Buy a second mirror you can use to check the back of your head (or use the camera view on your apple watch to scout out the area) and you'll be fine. As others have mentioned, pay attention to the area around your ears (behind the ears in particular), if using clippers there's really no harm in going over an area several times to make sure. Feel your scalp "against the grain", you'll need to figure out which way your hair grows, and you can find bits you clearly missed.

Your hair generally grows forwards on top of your head, downwards at the back and sides of your head and then you get the really nasty worly area where those directions meet. The large bits that grow in one direction are easy, the borders are what you need to pay the most attention to. With clippers you'll get nothing going one way, then change your angle slightly and you get a whole carpet's worth. Rub in circles to find what you missed.

If all else fails, you can use your phone to film a 360 view of your head, using as many angles as you can, to find missing spots. With a bit of practice, though, you'll know your problem areas and automatically pay extra attention.

>>6257
If it's holiday clothes, then go to TK MAxx or Sports Direct. Maybe take one nice short sleeve shirt with you and a pair of sensible shorts in case you end up at dinner somewhere.

I thought they shut down pretty much all of their stores?

>>6258

I was forced to buy a load of new jeans and trousers a while back because they all seem to have inexplicably shrunk around the waist. I still have a load of tops I've been wearing since I was about 19 though.

>>6263

I have concert shirts I got at 14 which still fit me 15 years later.

It works out a hell of a lot cheaper, you can get a better shave, but there is a learning curve. A multi-blade cartridge razor is designed to give you a decent shave even if you're completely cack-handed, but it takes a bit of practice to shave well with a safety razor. You don't need to spend a fortune - this kit costs less than £15 and is perfectly good to try out DE shaving. There are loads of decent tutorials on YouTube.

> Are they really better?
Somewhat.
The razors are cheaper than cartridges, sometimes drastically.
Using a straight razor requires slightly more agility than the multi-blade thingy - it's easier to nick yourself.
I find that it shaves cleaner than the multi-blade, I don't have to make several passes over most areas of my bony face.

Sage because I usually don't faff with it, electric shaver does the job even if it's not quite perfect.

I swallowed the trad shaving bait the other week. I blame lockdown boredom.

I haven't got the technique yet, but I think shave quality will be okay once I do. The razor itself is a nice object, and lobbing less plastic away will save the dolphins or something.
It's not a revelation of shaving bliss, but I'm coming from the one blade Bic disposables. I might be more enthusiastic if I'd been using the multi blade things.

I like the shaving soap and brush more than the canned gel. I think I'll stick with it even if I drop the razor. It smells nice, and there's a lot of choice, but you might end up like the shaving forum mentalists with rooms full of the stuff if you're not careful.

I forgot I even made this thread.

I got a safety razor, and it's much better than the cartridge ones I was using before, and a hell of a lot cheaper since a pack of 10 really good quality blades is only a fiver.

I too feel the need to recommend safety razors. It's funny to me that it's a hobby to some chaps, but the upside of that is that there's actually a lot of information out there for it. I never even thought about it, but there's reviews even for the razor blades.

I realise this thread has reached its conclusion already, but it really is much better than your typical multiblade, and if you start with a "mild" razor, and watch a video or two on proper technique, you'll probably not actually suffer any injury.

I've only really been using one regularly since about March, but I can reliably shave even my head completely smooth with no hassle at all. You definitely have to go a bit slower than a Mach3 but not so much that it's an inconvenience. And not to be one of them wankers, but it does feel more of an occasion, I truly do enjoy the process in a way I never did before.

To be honest I envy people who can dress like this. If I wear anything that tight around my crotch I just have a great big bulge. I'm not even that big I just presume it's the way my junk is and just seems to stick out more? It's a right fucking pain anyway.

>>6249

A "humblebrag" if I've ever heard one.

>>6250
It really isn't mate. I'm a bit above average, not hung by any means. It's just a right fucking pain.

>>6249

I have an undewhelming penis too, and it's laughable when soft, but I still have an obscene bulge when I wear any sweatpants, and most formal trousers. Maybe my boxers are too tight and so are mushing my cock and balls into one conspicuous lump? Or maybe I wear my trousers too high up. I haven't really thought about it too much.

>>6252
Glad it's not just me. I don't get how guys like in the picture can have nothing showing there at all. I've tried different underwear, styles of clothing etc.

I figure that you can't have a dry spell if you never had a wet spell in the first place.

I find myself deleting and re-making my Tinder once every month or so, because that exact thing happens to me. I get about 2 days of occasionally getting matches and then that's it, never shown again. I've tested this with friends and despite being in the same room as them and me being able to see them, it simply does not show me to them.

People will say that Tinder isn't real life, etc etc etc but the fact of the matter is that Tinder isn't some niche platform that only a few people use; it's a massive part in the whole dating scene these days and you simply can't discount it.

>>6236


I suppose it depends on your definition of ugly - my point is that most lads don't look like models but still do fine. I'm bald and one eye is droopier than the other, i don't have a particularly square jaw and i'm not really buff - if I'm being generous I'm a 5/10 at best, but I still match plenty of people on tinder.

I have no doubt a Calvin Klein model gets inundated with matches, far more than I'll ever see (if you really want to get into it, go see how many matches and messages even a fairly average lass gets), but it's not like I can change that.

>>6239
>if I'm being generous I'm a 5/10 at best, but I still match plenty of people on tinder.
You're either misjudging how attractive you are, or you need to start a business where you oil lads up and take pictures of them with spanners and Land Rover bits.

>>6240

Maybe I'm a 6/10 then.

I dunno though, the latter might be the case. Try and tell me this bloke couldn't bag a twentysomething instagram model if he wanted - he's holding a raccoon for fucks sake. You only get that sort of character building from fighting rust and oil leaks for 30 odd years. He is everything a woman wants.

>>6241

Standard.

>>6218

Quite wrong there lad, I see you're also in a semantic hell of your own. Never mind, I'm here to help you out.

A bad argument is easily reduced to 'because I say so', of course people with bad arguments won't admit that because it admits one's own stupidity or lack of argument. That's why the suspect is clinging hopelessly to the notion that nondescript isn't clear. You can observe this easily with children bickering amongst themselves.

A good argument is different, you can't boil it down to 'because I say so'. Take smoking for example, you should not smoke because it's bad for you and has a dramatically negative impact on your life. That's a good argument because it's true, it's not true because I think it is.

Now, if I were to say you should stop posting on this board because you're an insufferable cunt, then I can't really back that up with anything— it's reduced to 'you should not post here because I say so'. The argument is weak and ridiculous, the only hope would be the unlikely event that people would echo that. Even, the argument would make me look immature, like a child having a temper tantrum.

Don't worry, if I see you struggling again I'll step in and help you out. We'll get there.

I've been cutting my own hair once every couple of weeks since this thing began - and into a style too, not just buzz all over.

People haven't noticed on Zoom calls and even in person (one person commented on how my hair's looking about the same as it was in March), so I reckon I could have a shot at this barbering lark.

The only thing is getting a straight line round the back; that's a bit wonky since I'm doing it with 2 mirrors.

>>6182

>The only thing is getting a straight line round the back

I can't vouch for it myself as I went bald before I learned this trick, but apparently you can wrap a belt around your head to guide your neckline. I feel like you might just end up with a bowl cut look unless you're very good at fading, but I don't know, I keep hearing about it.

There's also this which I'm sure is fine and not an insane object to own at all.
