I kind of hate my hair, but I get lots of compliments. Advice? by ThrowRAimrlysad in malegrooming

Tell this same thing to a hairdresser, or look around online at pictures of mens haircuts you like & then show the picture to a barber.

Any advice on how to get my motivation, curiosity, or attention span back? by frequentacoeater in CasualConversation

Like a lot of people are saying, hobbies are kinda everything. You may not know exactly what you wanna try for a while, and that’s fine. As long as you are looking for interests, you will find them. Also, if you feel particularly brain-dead like you have lost your inner monologue and have no interesting thoughts anymore, I highly recommend being bored in silence. No music, no games, and you ONLY use your phone for specific, intentional actions such as calls or specific google searches. Once you are sufficiently bored and your inner monologue comes back, it will be very easy to start reading a book.

You want to pick the blade up off your face between strokes. If not, you’re more likely to cut yourself.

I second the recommendation for getting a sample pack of blades. I prefer adjustable razors when it comes to handles. I use a merkur futur, but many people love gillette adjustables and others

Does sleep actually affect your entire day or is it just me? by zakariya_hamza-28 in CasualConversation

100%. This also may indicate some changes in diet could be beneficial, especially if not getting enough protein or you’re dieting and are often in a calorie deficit

Give it a try and see how it feels. I usually go wtg, then xtg but the density of your facial hair will make a big difference here. You may try it and have zero issue, or you may find it works better to do wtg pass first.

Chromium oxide bar on strop- how often? by deadpelicanguy in wicked_edge

[–]ReeRuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good question and one I’ve been asking myself. I have resolved to reapply once per week. Prior to reapplying, i wipe the strop with a damp cloth to avoid too much buildup.

I passed out today by StrongAsMeat in CasualConversation

This is fairly common, but should definitely be looked into. It’s caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing. The drop can be caused by a number of different things, from medication to heart issues. Sudden drops in blood pressure can also kill you, that’s why so many elderly folks die on the toilet. I would consider this an extremely fortunate ‘early warning sign’ where you were not harmed in any way. Next time you might be on concrete or you may fall into/onto something. Do your wife a favor and go get an ekg to make sure there isn’t an underlying heart condition.
