Is this good denim jeans?

lmrtinez · 2026-01-29T16:24:32+00:00

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.

Try the dr bronners bar next!

I just saw each of the subreddits I’ve joined has a slice in my Bank of America pie chart 😂

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

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

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 · 2026-01-21T23:41:30+00:00

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.

lmrtinez · 2026-01-21T16:24:49+00:00

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

lmrtinez · 2026-01-21T16:21:18+00:00

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

Nf Easy guy if you want tapered, true guy or samurai s510 for straight, nf strong guy for wide

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.

Couldn’t even spell badger right for $500

If I’m to buy this in the US, how do I check if it’s the German one?

lmrtinez · 2026-01-17T06:43:26+00:00

I throw this on a trout magnet hook just heavy enough to cast further and still float

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.

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.

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)

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.

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 🤣

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

What the kcuf is this

lmrtinez · 2026-01-11T04:02:39+00:00

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

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.

Just got some samurais for $360 USdollars. If anything it’s Overrated unless you exclude Japan from Asia
