Skincare schmincare. I still think the whole skincare thing is a scam. I usually just wash my face with water. If I got extra sweaty or was deep frying something, I'll use some drugstore face-soap. If I put on makeup (rarely) I'll use toner after washing my face with soap to get rid of that stuff.
But most days, my skincare is:
Morning: wash face with water, put on moisturizer (with or without spf depending on if I'm going out a lot that day or not)
Night: wash face with water. If my skin feels tight afterward, put on some night cream/moisturizer.
Plain water will get rid of most daily dirt/oil buildup on your face fine as long as you're exfoliating. I have this face brush from muji that works GREAT for that. Just splash some water on your face and scrub away.
I do notice that men seem to have thicker or tougher skin than most women. I think it's because they're not wearing enough sun screen and it's sun/weather damage. The solution is probably just to put on a moisturizer with spf in the morning. No need to get fancy.

My skincare routine has done me wonders. My skin used to be so awful and I was damaging my skin by shaving in the wrong ways. Now it's a lot better.

Not gonna lie there was a time when trading my body for luxe threads held substantial appeal.

I would trade nude pics for clothes in a heartbeat. #noshame
You got any more info on this?

Well now I know to shave after heating up the face and getting a good amount of moisture, I don't shave against the grain anymore, and I use cold water to rinse. Just common sense stuff I was never taught.

You're not supposed to go against the grain at all? But it gives a closer shave.
You can if you really want to but it's better to go across the grain and to do it on the second attempt after you lather up again.

Dang, I guess I'll do that next time.
I usually go with grain and then against the grain and lather before each time.I missed mine because I'm at work.
Maybe I can pick it up after I get out and before I head to the family.

So did Manshion-GAF rock any killer holiday outfits today? Or do any of you plan to tomorrow?
I have a cool navy blue/white pindot sweater but that's about as close as I'll get to anything holiday oriented.

Looks like you're about to rip that shirt with your muscles! What size shirt is that?
No holiday outfits for me.

Medium at H&M.
I usually wear 15 neck 34/35 sleeves in dress shirts. I think H&M officially lists this as M - 15/15.5
For reference, I'm 6'2" 194 lbs. and in ok shape. Not ripped, not fat. But working on it!
It fits well. I just wish it had a bit more taper at the sides... but that's an issue with most OTR shirts. I need to order a dress shirt from Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, etc. in slim fit variants to see which ones fit me as close to ideal as possible. Tired of messing with Express "Fitted/Slim Fit/Extra Slim Fit" stuff. Too inexact for my tastes.

Yeah, once I'm done transforming my body I'm gonna take all my dress shirts and get them tailored. But there's a lot of bulking left before that can be done.

Looks good to be, Jayy. Like MiDNiGHTS, I'm on the bulk train and hoping to get to the point where I'll have to get my tailor to take out my shirts rather than take them in. Long ways to go though.
Merry Christmas to you as well, man!

shiiiiiiiiit it's cold!!! I need to buy boots, fucking tomorrow! I don't think I can order them online, they wont arrive in time. Any stores that sell great (or even just good) boots for less than 80?
Nothing extreme though, it's cold but there isn't any snow.

i have never used a brush on my face. can you do it when you have sensitive skin?
and out of curiosity: aren't there products specifically for exfoliating your skin? why don't you use those, too, instead of just the brush?

Just up a new Brown/grey suit the other day after getting it tailored. Should I wear dark brown or black shoes with it? It is predominately brown, but is very dark and has shades of grey in it as well.
Eh, my shirt is a red gingham, but that's about it.
Merry Christmas, guys!
Goddamn you're a handsome dude, no homo.
Chocolate Brown shoes, I think would look good.

For classic pieces like that it's better to go simple, and well, classic.

The bristles on the brush are fairly soft and bendable. It's less harsh than say, scrubbing your face with a wet washcloth.
There are products specifically for exfoliating skin, but they also contain all sorts of chemicals that can dry out my skin or make it feel weird, so I don't like using those regularly. Usually just warm water and a quick scrub with this brush gets rid of dirt build up from the day.

So I bought the duffle coat from uniqlo, and it's pretty sweet except i'm fat and my head is to big for the hood. Question for Alucrid what makes TOJ Duffle worth the money? Is it the tailoring and fabric that makes it worthwhile?
