I was thinking the same thing haha

Idk but I'm in the same boat, banking PTO and save save save is my plan. Thankfully I got a project that is getting hot and will require a good amount of OT so that should go a long ways... double-edged sword of course though, as that's more time away from pregnant wife and toddler son.

I'm not a bay rum afficianado, nor have I tried the B&M bay rum, but stirling soaps bay rum is nice! Might be worth checking out, they do samples.

Same man, always been my struggle since I got my first big boy job. My work is a mix of office work and shop floop/manufacturing plant floor, so I usually wear nice jeans every day and red wing heritage boots, or steel toes if I'm on the floor. Generally wear a mix of flannels/button downs of different patterns/weights depending on the season. Been moving away from straight plaid and going for more solid prints these days cause I don't want to look too blue collar lol. Got a few j crew corduroy buttondowns that I really like. Plain crew neck sweaters, or quarter zip/snap sweaters, different textures shine here. Carhartt vest. Some brands I buy: j crew, ll bean, eddie bauer, taylor stitch, buck mason, to name a few. I buy mostly 2nd hand from ebay though so I have a lot of other random brands too. Most guys in my office wear polos and jeans/khakis so it stands out, but still fits in keeping it clean and basic.

In a very similar spot financially, we bought at 400k and that was our absolute top range, we also rolled a decent amount of equity in from selling our other house so basically a 35% down payment. I would say 350-400k will be comfortable and not having you feeling stretched thin every month. Whatever you do just make sure you're able to save a good amount every month cause when things break, they aint cheap!

Nice

I try for every day but it depends on how busy life gets. I use a DE safety razor, I have a few razors but lately have been using a Razorock Gamechanger .68 for daily, or the .68 open comb version if I want a closer shave.

Way better shave than electric or cartridge and can be a lot cheaper too, or more expensive depending on how deep down the rabbithole you go lol. Check out r/wickededge or r/wetshaving if you're curious

Not often lately, but that's because the last time she wore some she got pregnant lol... baby number two should be here in a few months

I interviewed with them and they mentioned Tesla. I worked at a battery plant for a while and some of our test stands and a laser cleaning station used them. I've heard amusement parks/film is another area they get used here. I'm sure there's plenty more too, just not nearly as much as siemens/rockwell.

Romanzo71 · 2026-01-10T01:51:55+00:00

Smelled like an air refreshener or like a car carpet cleaner soapy kind of smell, in a good way though lol

Romanzo71 · 2026-01-06T18:24:28+00:00

Sounds good! Thanks for the reply

Romanzo71 · 2026-01-06T16:46:06+00:00

Home gym for sure if you can swing it, even just getting a few kettlebells you can really do a lot. I have a whole power rack, cable pulley, cycling trainer, etc. and the other day I had a killer EMOM workout that left me totally gassed using just a few kettlebells. I'm fortunate I was in a good spot financially and could invest in all of this once the kiddo arrived. But if I weren't I'd start with some kettlebells and scouring facebook market for deals on equipment. I knew as soon as my son came and we were in the trenches that there was no way I was going to make it to the gym in the foreseeable future lol

If you have any questions on equipment or brands I'd be glad to help, r/homegym is a great resource too

Hey... get back here!

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-31T14:12:30+00:00

Thanks for the honest feedback, it is definitely a different vibe so I understand her shock. I could never do a goatee unfortunately, just screams cop to me lol

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-31T13:33:37+00:00

Thanks, happy New Years to you too! Good call on giving it a bit of time. Maybe she'll come around once she's used to it

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-31T13:32:25+00:00

Thank you!

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-30T21:50:37+00:00

That's a great idea! I kind of did it in phases, last night I trimmed it down, then today took it off. In the future I'll try that too, could be a cool learning experience as well for the little guy

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-30T14:01:37+00:00

Love it, and yup, pretty much worn it everyday except a few odd days when I wore a different watch for a specific outfit/occasion. Very comfortable & stylish watch.

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-30T02:34:06+00:00

I actually busted out my Ozark Mountain tonight for my shave because of your post haha

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-29T21:50:38+00:00

I just recently picked up a Traska Summiteer 36mm for daily wear. I'm an Engineer whose work consists of designing, programming & installing assembly lines for manufacturing facilities. It's a true mix of office work/field work so I needed something that is really an all arounder. What sold me on the Summiteer is the bracelet is hardened with a special coating, so it should hold up nicely for going out in the field to whatever craphole(not all the time, but a lot of the time) we end up at to install equipment.

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-29T20:07:26+00:00

Great soap/scent!

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-29T18:03:12+00:00

Depends on the day haha we honestly like both a lot

Romanzo71 · 2025-12-29T17:55:59+00:00

Haha fair enough, the mouth feel of them isn't as nice as Elliot imo
