BGOL SARTORIALISTS: A thread

[playahaitian]

I've had a bread off and on throughout the year.

Just let it grow out, line it up yourself, or go to the barber to go it lined, and between visits, just maintain the line he created.

You cannot stop the greys sadly

Growing the beard will reduce the razor bumps because once it grows to a certain length, the bumps will not happen, maybe one or two here and there.

Which andis clippers do you have? If they have guards, figure out the length you like the beard, and every week trim it to that length.

Having a beard is great, low maintenance and shit.

I only cut mine because even though people told me it looked good, and made me look "distinguished," I felt like it aged me due to the ton of grey hair, and one patch of the beard was sandy white grey....And I'm only 38.

Just make sure you scrub it often, and if you have shea butter, rub that into the beard too once in a while.

Sorry for the Colin post

that wasn't a colin post...

that was my new daily regime

much much appreciated fam!!!

All you need is a good lathering soap, a badger brush, and a decent double edge razor (I use an Edwin Jagger DE89 w/ Astra blades).

I started off a few years back using AOS but get better results with a good lather and proper technique. IMO you don't need the peppermint oil for pre-shave. And those multi-blade razors are too aggressive for black skin.

Got my razor and blades on Amazon ($10 for 100 blades). I ordered a 10 sample shave cream pack from Maggards Razor for $24. I like the coconut and avacado the best but pretty much any of the Taylor of Old Bond Street and Geo Thumper stuff is good. You only need a very small amount of cream. I have been using the samples since Jan and still have 3 unused ones and I'm only out of the coconut so far.

Start here for shaving

GameTheory,

Timbs are for young kids man.

I wear timbs to cut my grass these days

Find you a nice pair of boots other than construction looking ones like Timbs.

I never had them in my life so thought why not? I only wear them on few occasions/night out with friends so...

 

[bham_brotha]

I wouldn't wear none of them ugly shits. Timbs for me.

Well some have style, some dont lol

Actaully, Timberland's earth keepers line of boots can be worn with jeans, slacks, cords, and even a suit. I have a 3/4 length pair that are mad tight. I agree that the old school tan timbs and baggy jeans look from the 90s is played.

Still a common style from what I've seen.

Does anyone use their products.......and are there cheaper alternatives with the same quality?

Please listen to this man
Also this is the best shaving cream I had ever used.
You can pick some up at any Bath and Body Works for about $10.
Be warned, you will need a shaving brush to apply for best results.
Preferably a badger hair brush.
Tweezerman makes a great badger brush

Shaving brushes with boar hair are shitty.

Finally when finished shaving, be sure to put on some aftershave.
Afta is my favorite.
It has a nice fresh clean scent
You can get some at any Wal-Mart or drug store for $2

This looks like my setup at the house

I do and it's a great product! You should try the travel pack to see if you like it. It's pretty cheap like $20 I think!
