Main summary

Key takeaways

Lifestyle

Glow-up / Shaving Routine (Face + Mustache + Goatee)

  • Goal: Move from beard/stubble toward a cleaner goatee/stubble look (“ascension”).
  • Start with beard/stubble layout:
    • Plan to line up mustache and chin hair.
    • Note that the chin area is the hardest.
    • Stubble goatee may look better than a full beard.

Shave Prep

  • Wash face first, then dry completely.
  • Don’t moisturize until after shaving—oils can make dry shaving harder.
  • Uses a face wash kept at a “stationary location,” and brings different products when traveling.

Dry Shaving Method

  • Emphasizes the “meta” of dry shaving with the shaver.
    • Adding water/soap makes it harder.
  • Uses a OneBlade-style razor for quick shaving and smoothing.

Mustache / Goatee Shaping

  • Shaving the area under the jawline is important (commonly forgotten).
  • Warns about “goatee blindness”:
    • Having a goatee doesn’t guarantee it looks good—proportion matters.
  • Proportion rule:
    • The goatee should be smaller than the mustache width to look balanced.
  • If you shave too much, the result can look bad—better to remove gradually and wait for growth.

Sensitive Neck Advice

  • If you have a sensitive neck, don’t use a foil shaver on your neck (can cause bumps).
  • Suggests using a non-foil style shaver (or leaving some stubble) as safer than clean/foil shaving.

Using a Straight Razor

  • Tries to use a straight razor to refine lining, but admits he hasn’t used one in a long time.
  • Accident: cuts his eyebrow while attempting straight-razor cleanup.
  • After the eyebrow mishap, he stops further refinement with the one blade and plans to learn the straight-razor technique later.

Skin Notes / Acne Background

  • Used Accutane for bad acne, and it went away.
  • Still has acne scars and occasionally gets a new pimple after a long time.
  • General takeaway: unusual issues (like pimples on the “meat”) aren’t normal and could require a doctor.

“Pay to Win” Grooming Gear + Replacement Blades

Razor Maintenance & Blade Replacement

  • Recommends swapping OneBlade cartridges/blades when the indicator arrow pops out.
  • Says he used old blades too long, suspected they had “infections,” and bought replacements.

Ordering & Packaging Complaints

  • Orders OneBlade replacement blades.
  • Complains about packaging/order mishaps and pricing (“they tax”).

How Long OneBlade Lasts

  • Claims OneBlade lasts a long time.
  • Mentions he and others (Cam/James) use it daily with long-lasting blades.

What He Does When He Gets Cut

Eyebrow Cut Response

  • Uses pressure, then applies products he finds in the bathroom.
  • Someone nearby suggests a band-aid, and he says there’s “nothing you can do” beyond that in the moment.

Older Anecdote

  • In middle school/high school, he cut his lip badly.
  • Tried aftershave to stop bleeding—it didn’t sting as expected.
  • Hid it during a date.

Miscellaneous Travel / Product Talk (Incidental)

  • Complains about chargers:
    • Says “everything should be USB-C,” calling out a non-USB-C charger as inconvenient and outdated.
  • Mentions multiple items delivered to different places, including “Lana’s crib.”
