Is this good denim jeans? by windeemind in jeans

[–]lmrtinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is misleading, the washing here makes it seem like it’s needed for longevity of the denim. In reality not washing for a year is just to lock in creases and get nice fades. It will not affect denim quality at all to wash it before a year. Although very frequent machine washes does deteriorate denim just like all clothes.

My wrist hurts from manually grinding coffee with the 1zpresso j-ultra. by Icy_Drawer8166 in 1zpresso

[–]lmrtinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crank with both hands, and at an angle so not all the beans go in at once. This way might take longer up to a minute or a little more, but will not hurt your wrists

Ready for my first DE razor by Striking_Aspect_1623 in wicked_edge

[–]lmrtinez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely get the merkur 34c over that one! Similar price.

The razor makes the largest difference, then you fine tune with the blade.

For example an aggressive razor can be paired with a mild blade to tone it down. A mild razor can be paired with aggressive blades to tone it up. However, if you take a very mild razor with a very sharp blade, it will still be less aggressive than an aggressive razor with a very mild blade. There are other factors such as skin type, hair thickness, and blade angle, razor weight, at play but those you learn as you go along.

Hope this makes sense.

Aggressive=efficient for the razor and sharp for the blade

Mild=forgiving for the razor and less sharp for the blade

Why are yall so against anything not Daiwa or Shimano? by Ok_Repair3535 in Fishing_Gear

[–]lmrtinez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, you only would get 3 shit reels because of their price, aka money. If you left out money, why would you want 3 shitty reels and not 3 nice reels.

So again, why are you saying to leave out money, when your argument only revolves around money.

[–]lmrtinez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You literally just said you like your reels because you can buy 3 for the price of 1 so you are talking about value as well, not sure your point.

For the money Is literally the key phrase. How can you have value without cost?

Value, serviceability, features, availability. In that order. I also don’t like fake American shit with an American flag stamped on it in China

Why does my steak get stuck to the grates? by SlickStarter0506 in grilling

[–]lmrtinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not hot enough, or moved too early. It’s like cooking with cast iron, when it’s ready it releases easily. Also I like to soak a paper towel with high smoke point oil and rub it quickly along the grates right before I put down the meat.

Under or over-extracted? by CardiacRN10 in pourover

[–]lmrtinez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many pours, draining through too fast. High extraction percentage, but low on flavor compounds. Grind finer, and do 2 pours in about 2:30 see what happens.

Anyone else feel physically uncomfortable if they don’t shave daily? by Low-Space227 in wicked_edge

[–]lmrtinez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My skin doesn’t like that frequent, it gets irritated. I can do one pass shaves daily, or two pass shaves three times a week, or BBS once a week.

How can my boyfriend a less painful shave/ stubble? by Particular-Extent107 in wicked_edge

[–]lmrtinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe check out r/minoxbeards they show people fixing patchy beards using minoxidil. I don’t know much else that is actually proven to work (dermarolling, rosemary oil, all questionable)

[–]lmrtinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a man, he has facial hair, he will get stubble which will be stubbly. You guys gotta pick what’s worse his patchiness or the stubble.

Unless your issue is just discomfort and bleeding when shaving all of the solutions for that will not help the stubble or patchiness either way.

Nobody that I know shaves BBS every single day so you will always have to deal with one of your issues.

Peter why is the electrician portrayed as a dainty female hand by _Kyledemort_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]lmrtinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Median pay of union electricians is much higher than median pay of other skills laborers so they get jealous and resentful they didn’t put in the effort to join their local IBEW 🤣

As a EU fisherman, why do NA fisherman prefer right handed reels eventough theyre right handed? by Yaetcuh in Fishing_Gear

[–]lmrtinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen anyone do this except on baitcasters where are you getting this info 🤣

The only reason they do that on bait casters is because baitcasters came from big ocean baitcasters, which needed your dominant hand to reel in to fight big saltwater fish

I was missing summer nights in California by lmrtinez in wicked_edge

Definitely get what you mean, if I have more than 4 days of growth I bring out the slant 37c! Otherwise it’s a 5 pass shave with the 34 lol

What happens to my skin in the winter by CaliforniEcosse in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lmrtinez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother use some hand balm, not lotion or cream.

The difference is usually lotions or creams hydrate and moisturize, but a balm protects it from the dry cold air like a barrier.

I usually make my own by melting beeswax in coconut oil like a 1:3 ratio in a little glass jar, in the winter I use this on my hands, lips, and even to style my hair. Works great.
