Hi everyone! Thought I would share some of my weird hobbies with y'all, who knows, maybe someone shares them? My biggest hobby would be shaving my head with old fashioned razors, blades, soaps, shave brush, all that jazz. It started when I messed up my hair one day and decided I would just...shave it all off! I shaved my head on and off for a year or so, and then I started looking for something cheaper, which is how I found double edge safety razors! They are LOADS cheaper, that is, if you can resist collecting them. And blades. And shave brushes. And shaving soap and cream. And mugs. (I think you get the point.) Now it's a real passion of mine, I even have a channel where I review budget shave gear and whatnot, but I won't talk about that unless you message me and ask, as I got kicked off a shave forum for daring to acknowledge the fact that I had a channel. Apparently that's advertising. I'm a terrible advertiser then, because I didn't even mention the website or my channel name! Oh, well.
From there, I got into all things gentle"man"ly. I put that in quotes because I am a firm believer in the fact that gentle"man"ly arts are and should be gender neutral. For me, it means collecting watches, cigars, being interested in history, and learning in general, style, etiquette, etc. I believe, though, at it's core, the art of being a gentle"man" is simply striving to better yourself. It means broadening your horizons, using proper etiquette (within reason, because there are plenty of antiquated etiquette rules) and just being the best you that you can be. And if you ask me, that is totally gender neutral.
My interest in coffees and teas also stemmed from the gentle"man"ly arts. I enjoy collecting the coffees and teas themselves, collecting bowls/mugs for the imbibing of them, experimenting with brewing methods, and of course, sharing them with my loved ones.
I also enjoy being outdoors, though it can be hard to do things I love such as hiking, as I have Ehler Danlos Syndrome, which means I am very prone to sprains and dislocations in my joints, as well as pulling muscles, which all happen quite often. Because of this, swimming has quickly become my favorite thing to do! I'm obsessed with the water, preferably pools, I know, very unnatural and unwitchy, but I can't help it. I'm already afraid of sharks in the deep end, can you imagine me in a lake or the ocean? It's not pretty.
Other than those main ones, I love history, learning, reading, writing poetry, and much more, but that is the jist of it.
If you do share any of my interests or want to learn more, feel free to hit me up!
