Any of you into traditional grooming methods?
An ambiguous and suspect choice of title I must admit.
But what I mean is do any posters here forgo the more modern methods and products of male grooming in favour of the more traditional?
I.e - Do you splash on some Old ****e or Brut instead of Paco Rabanne and the other latest fragrances.
Do you prefer shaving with a safety razor, or even a straight razor, rather than use Gillette cartridge razors and electric razors.
Prefer to splash your face with witch hazel or run and alum block over your face, rather than use the latest and greatest sissy boy moisturising cream?
Just curious.
I switched to safety razor shaving two years ago now. Pack of 100 blades set me back £10. That's about $15 dollars ish. And I'm still working my way through that pack. Whereas a pack of 5 Gillette cartridges set me back £10 and were used within the month.
So if nothing else, it's pretty thrifty. Which equals more beer money!
And it's quite fun experimenting with old aftershaves and colognes which cost a fraction of designer brands and hearing someone say "What aftershave you got on bro?" and their confused face when you tell them, like "Oh I thought smelling good had to cost a fortune."
And the few times I've worn Old ****e I've got more compliments on the smell from the females than I ever did when wearing Guuci and Armani etc.
I'm thinking it's a generation thing in their family and they don't know it. Use that advantage fellas
State your age along with your post. I'm interested to see the age demographic of this.
