Butch Attire & Fashion

[DapperButch]

Kelt, where I get my haircut I can bring back products I don't like after trying them. I don't know if they do this with people who don't get their hair cut there, but it is possible. All of the products they sell, they use on their customers. So, if someone brings a product back, they will just use it. I never need a receipt or anything. I believe this is standard for all customers.

Every once in a while I try a different product, but always find myself coming back to my old faithful.

Well, I don't go to a salon kind of place. I used to go to a Supercuts chain store which may be where I first got the Pomade, ever since I just order online from Amazon. I go to an old school blue collar barber. It isn't "Neo" or "retro" and may be the last one in town that hasn't gone the way of the hipsters. I like the vibe for some reason.

This is on the wall and it's older than I am:



They don't sell products or wash your hair or anything other than cut it and give a great quick neck and temple massage at the end. If I needed to shave I'd love to get a hot one there.

I have thought of going to one of the hipster queer barbers just for fun but haven't made it yet. I'm holding that option in reserve though, I could probably get a ton of great advice and information. They are very popular and so you need an appt, it would require driving, and I can't even imagine what they charge. It's easier for me to walk a couple of blocks, no appt needed, and get out in 10 minutes.

Btw, I'm not disparaging the salon experience. It's nice to go get pampered and get the full treatment, I've had that in the past. I might do it as a couple of times a year treat but I'd rather keep the bucks in my pocket and be quick most of the time.

When I do a pamper it's going in for full body deep tissue massage every few months and that is pricey so I really feel like it should be one or the other and not both.

This is my product 'group' and I am happy with the variety of options with them so I'm probably done with trials. (I can't believe I have three things for hair)

I have to tell you, I am jealous of Kelt and Daktari. You guys have the freedom to cut your hair however you want, try different styles, etc.

Sometimes I hate corporate America (ok, so I'm not in corporate America, but you get the point). I have pushed the envelope as far as it can go and then some in terms of gender presentation, but I can't go "out there" with the hair (Daktari) or masculine to the point of a flat top (Kelt).

Kelt, you have no idea how much I would like the option to just hit the barbershop. Salon is by necessity, not choice.

It almost pains me to tell you that the current 'do', minus the extreme quiffage is the 'do' du jour for the local chav lads.

Just think, you can get all the girls looking for a 'bad boy'. Which would be all of them.

I think this still fits under "Attire" maybe as accesories.

I have always enjoyed what I call 'the stuff of pockets'. It turns out it is some kind of hipster fad to knoll their pockets and obsess over the details. Right up my alley.

I stumbled over a site that is providing endless amusment. Since I am usually the last to know, you may already be familiar with this as "Everyday Carry". There is a whole site (probably many) dedicated to it here.

What gets your pocket lint? Or do you roll with a "Manpurse"?

Which even has a forum!

I carry a messenger bag with me everywhere. I always have my computer, charger, phone, wallet, and paper planner on me. It's a major accessory of mine...and sometimes, if I sling it just right, it makes my dreaded upper region disappear.
