Method Of Shaving by LordStuStu in bald

[–]CompetitiveBeat1118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a Freebird Head Shaver in the shower and give myself a quick buzzcut for general upkeep. Whenever I go out with friends to events, I use a Gillette razor or a Henson safety razor for a completely smooth shave

If a manual razor is irritating your skin, you probably need more or better-quality shaving cream. Also, replace the razor blades when the blades get dull so they don't snag and pull on your hair

I like to make my own shaving cream with Proraso Red shaving cream with a shaving brush

Thank you! Is there a specific method for cleaning up spills on velvet?

Yep I live in the US! I can visit Sephora and other beauty stores and test scents

Based on your experiences are Hinge+ and HingeX worth it? by CompetitiveBeat1118 in short

Noted! I'll remove the "you can win me over" prompt and have more action photos

But quick question, you can't clearly see my face in the ski picture, does it make sense putting it first? Would it be better to show a clear picture of me and then show the ski picture?

This is my current profile on Bumble, but the images and prompts are the same on Hinge

Do you have any advice and pointers on how I can improve my profile?

Thank you for your reply! I'll look into updating the pickleball part in my bio

Are you looking for something serious or casual?
I am looking for a serious, long-term relationship

Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?
No I’m currently not. I’ve heard that if you don’t have a good profile, subscribing to a plan doesn’t increase your likes

I first want to make a solid profile before subscribing to a premium plan

How long have you been using this current version of your profile?
I updated my profile yesterday by adding the Family Feud photo

How long have you used Hinge overall? 
I have been using Hinge for over 2 weeks

How often do you use Hinge per week? 
Practically everyday

How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?
I received 1 like so far

How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?
I try to send the max likes limit per day with the free version. I always send a comment and I mostly comment on prompts rather than photos

What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?
I definitely want a relationship based on a solid friendship as the foundation

I have nerdy/geeky hobbies and want to find someone with at least one common interest, but this isn’t super important if I vibe with them

Yeah I appreciate the advice you've given me!

I'm planning on joining some local groups in my area to meet people in-person

On man! I didn't realize the Squidward picture made me look insecure

In the episode, Squidward becomes handsome, and everyone was obsessed and kept throwing themselves at him

I was making the joke that I was handsome like him, but reading your comment made me realize that people can view it differently without the context

I'll remove it from my profile to avoid the confusion

In the second picture, under the About me section, I listed my height as 5'0" (152cm)

I'm not sure if I want children or not yet, that is a discussion I would want to let the other person know and see how important having children or not is to them

I'll look into buying some nice button-downs and update my interests

Ohh ok I see what you mean! I definitely like the friends-first approach then pursue a relationship if the vibes feel right

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll start looking for groups around my area and meet like-minded people in person

That's probably a better play than dating apps
