How long does one of the 100g ones last?

Four showers/baths.

OP, I've been thinking about this over the past few days, and I think the correct answer to your question is that you've misunderstood the problem.

The "oily film" that you feel with a shower gel is not necessarily the result of any oils or moisturisers in the gel.
Ordinary soap (sodium tallowate/sodium stearate etc.), is very very bad at dealing with water hardness. Soap draws the calcium out of the water and forms soap scum. That "squeaky clean" or dry feeling you have after using soap is the film of soap scum left behind on your skin.

Modern shower gels have chealating agents added (commonly some variety of EDTA), this keeps the hardness dissolved in water, which leaves your skin feeling slick after it's cleaned. Even in the "sensitive" gels such as the Sanex which don't have a chelating agent in, the main sufactant (SLS) is much less affected by water hardness than a traditional soap, so it still gives more of an oily feeling than soap.

Try this experiment: Buy a pack of borax substitute. Dissolve a few teaspoons of it in a bowl of water, and then wring your hands in it. You should notice that the water feels weirdly slippery. It's not making your skin oily, it's because it's stopping any of the minerals in the water from sticking to your skin.

>>5686
You are awesome. I tried your weird experiment and it was great. Never thought sticking my hand in slippery water would be so therapeutic.

I also went and checked the water hardness of the area I live in, and it is really bad. All in all, I guess you are right Chemistlad. I went back from using soaps to my cheap shower gels, since the slippery feel isn't me just being dirty.

Neither of us did.

A chanologist went over to Nepal for his Buddhist cult. He told everyone he met there to use britfa.gs.

>>5637

You too could look as dashing as this chap.

>>5629

No. He doesn't know the site exists, although he does know of his status as piemaster. He sent me a Timpsons apron and a signed pic of himself. I've not got a pic of the apron at hand, sorry if this is a problem.

Incidentally OP pic is not him, but another fat guy with a smile.

This isn't going to end well.

Is Gilly in the bunny suit?

It didn't take Columbo to work out that this is the work of some "Master Troll" who has stolen images that, glaringly, are of all different resolutions, sizes and image quality. They've assumed this poor, hapless furry fella's identity and as they have al been uploaded from the same Apple device (hence the image.jpg on every picture) it's not difficult to work out that, yes; OP is a shitehawk.

Do with this information what you will, lads.

>>5551
Furry? He's clearly just on some Chinese excursion. I've visited an Asian Tiger myself and there are loads of people dressed up in animal costumes promoting things in transport hubs.

If OP is a bellend and /poof/ is a sfw board...

I had sexual encounters with a woman this year before I found her most hidden tattoo. The word BOWIE on the nape of her neck, usually covered by long hair. I wasn't sure about her already and was even less sure after finding that.

>>5517

I almost shagged a lass with Pete Steel's face covering her calf. I'm glad I didn't.

>OK, but if you can only find deep social interaction from wearing tattoos that other "likeminded" people deem interesting then you need to work on your own personality and leave the house more often.

You're extrapolating a whole lot from a whole lot ofnothing there. I said they lead to conversations, not that those are the sole kind of conversation I have. And I clearly leave the house loads, or how else would I get invited to all these hedonistic parties all the youths are at? Dear me, you need to work on your mental gymnastics a bit there. 2/10 SEE ME.

Also, I know right, what markets are even open nowadays that haven't run off with everyone's coins or are even slightly trustworthy or coded securely? I've actually gone back to street connections for ketamine, but the quality is hardly consistent so it's lead to me turning down bags from time to time for lack of better sources. Whinge whinge wah bring back SR1.0 etc. etc.

>>5508
On a serious note, the back of the ear or lobe would be "invisible when naked" only when you're viewed from the front, so I suggest to you my stealthiest tattoo locations, which are (in order of stealth) insides of the toes or insides of the fingers (the sides facing towards your little finger > the sides facing your thumbs, due to the slight angling of the digits as they extend from the palm, especially when viewed from the front.)

I have a very small tattoo in precisely this location on my hand and no one, to date, has ever noticed it unless I have pointed out to them that it's there. I should probably get it touched up though, sadly there's no good padding in the dermis of the hands so ink tends to fade fast and takes more skill to tattoo there in the first place.

>>5317
Felt gets dirty too easily. It will look really old when it isn't as old. It pisses me off.

>>5322

Also the white sole will stain fairly quickly over winter. Converse All-Stars seem to be like jeans, in that they look better when they're a bit battered.

>>5323
I always find them dreadfully uncomfortable, but Vans Eras are equally muted and presentable. They're essentially the Vans Authentic with some padding around the ankle to make them ten times comfier.

My feet smell. I guess I need to stop wearing the same pair of socks for a whole week.

Anyway, I've had a pair of Nike Air Force 1s for a year, and I don't think I like them. I wore my older trainers today. They were a pair of those Adidas skater type trainers. Very comfy, light-weight and discreet. The AF1s are heavy and it feels like they suffocate my feet.

Maybe you lads could recommend something discreet, comfy and light.

I hate shopping. All those choices, and the thought of regretting what I buy means I will become frozen and indecisive. A little anxious too. So I usually buy online, but shoes are a cunt to buy online since an Adidas size 8 aren't the same as Nike size 8. Absolute bollocks.

For a casual shoe, I'd personally always go for the type of vaguely trainer-styled shoes that are sufficiently distanced from actual trainers that you'd never do any actual sport in them and probably wouldn't be barred entry to a club for wearing them. Pic related for example, they're similar to what I wear.

No tips at all, you're just going to have to go outside and find one.

A little old woman that owns an alterations shop isn't going to bend you over, but might make a mess of something more complicated, whereas a minor job at a tailors will cost far more than it would in an alterations shop. It's a trade-off between how well you want the job doing and how much you want to pay for it, really.

What's the job?

>flames

All I would need is for flame shirts and New Rocks to come back into fashion and I'd be knee deep in 18 year old Goth clunge all over again.

Get yourself a sword cane. I believe they're illegal, but IIRC you can still buy them if they're an antique.

>>5389

Alternatively, you could get yourself a shillelagh/blackthorn stick.

>>5390

http://www.coldsteel-uk.com/store/Sticks.html

There is one like that here I like the look of, but I reckon the paint might chip off so I'm hesitant. There are other options, although some of them strike me as being penis extensions for emasculated disabled males and might have the problem of form over function which would make it a waste of money.

Pimping stick?

Number 1 all over lad.

Possibly the only serious reply: yes, shorter sides will lengthen your face, and there's quite a few different parts/styles you could try with a longer top. Don't be self conscious about your hairline. It's low and right for your (presumably young) age.

A poor example, maybe, but you have a similar hair colour and facial structure to someone like David Beckham. A cut like his might suit you pretty well.

>>5375

just have to get over my /emo/ and go to a hair dressers

>Barrett plays the world-weary cynic very well
Ah but that's just because all his characters are world-weary cynics and all of Heap's have been weirdos. Come on, just imagine Tim knocking on Brian's door, and when it opens it's Julian Barrett's face that appears and delivers the awkward pause and stilted lines. It fits him like a glove.

After a beauty tip from lolcow I looked into eating Ceylon Cinnamon powder and came accross this. Not sure how acurate and scientific this website is though:- http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/information/nutrition/cinnamon-good-for-skin.htm

http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/information/nutrition/5-reasons-sugar-hurts-your-skin1.htm

There's no difference between any of these branded moisturisers is there? I currently use some cheap own-brand Boots stuff. If I was to switch to some L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Anti-Fatigue bollocks that costs a hundred pounds a squirt I really wouldn't see any difference would I?

>>5365

There's no difference between any of these foods is there? I currently eat Heinz Spaghetti Hoops. If I was to eat some Shrimp Fra Diavlo bollocks that costs a hundred quid a plate I wouldn't really see any difference would I?

>>5337

I'd love you for it. But you understand it is an incredibly niche product that you wear once a year if you are lucky right? I own a navy blue tuxedo with black trimming, with complementing waist coat and cravat, there is a finite number of events I can wear that to a year (weddings, black tie events where I don't give a shit about being a bit too flamboyant, and the odd special event) but for the most part it is just something pretty in my wardrobe, and that suit would be even more niche. You have to ask yourself the question, when the time comes that you have the chance to wear that suit, would you? or would you lose your bottle because you are afraid of looking like a cock? If the cock element is overpowering, it isn't for you.

Stop encouraging this shite.

It's a fine line between eccentricity and being a twunt. A very fine line.

>>5346

I don't think the line you imagine here is significant.

Fuck me, David Gandy lets himself go during the holiday season.

I've been seeing lots of girls carrying 'Morgan' bags here in 2003.

I've been seeing a lot of lasses with Ugg boots and "Jesus Rocks" belts, why?

>>5333

You live on a council estate.

In Germany wearing moon boots is code for "I'm a prostitute" maybe all these people are also some form of prostitute?

>>5335
In Germany it's considered common sense to invite any cunt to come and mooch off of your welfare, so I wouldn't take what they have to say too seriously.

For what it's worth, I often rely on Uniqlo for underwear. I often tend to go for the tight, seamless versions, but there are many other types that I have had good previous experience with.

One of my favorite things about them is that they don't say "URBAN SPIRIT" or anything fuck silly over them.

Armani actually make really comfortable boxer-briefs or whatever you'd call them. Finding out how much better slightly higher quality underwear feels was a revelation for me.

>>5297
>Finding out how much better slightly higher quality underwear feels

Slightly better?

>>5298
More than slightly. Significantly.

Good quality underwear feels great, but I have had supposedly good quality underwear (pringle & bench) which even after mostly washing at lower temperatures, they haven't shrunk as such but have lost a lot of stretch and become less comfortable very quickly.

Linen boxers are also lovely, but due to the loose fit they're not really a good match for jeans or close-fitting trousers as they tend to bunch up.

>>5296
In theory, I completely agree with you, in practice I'll wear anything because no one ever sees it. I think those obnoxious logos go hand-in-hand with the trend of jeans getting lower and lower.

>>5270>>5255

I suppose it might work if you're really tall.

>>5270
FUE seems really impressive, but won't you just go bald again? Shame my beard texture is like a Congolese and my hair is thin, wispy and straight. How is that even possible? I don't know.

>>5272
I assume that when they pull the flap of skin over, they also bring with it the blood vessels which are supplying it, and if I remember correctly male-pattern baldness is driven by the fact that the forehead and top of head get too little blood to flush out the chemicals which kill follicles.

>>5273
My response to you was originally scoffing about the idea that surgeons can reattach all the microscopic blood vessels needed to do that but someone would probably respond pointing out how wrong I am.
Regardless, I am heavily sceptical of your reasoning.
