its likely that the black dye was used on his line and beard to make it look sharper and then lined up with a straight edge razor

Castor oil for me. Once you finish showering allop your hair to dry enough to where you can pat it and feel a little moisture. Brush you hair, then apply oil to the palm of your hand and lather it together. Follow the grain of your hair apply the oil whilst palming your head.

Waves in no time bruh:smugfavre:

For super sharp edges you'll need a straight razor or safety razor. A safety razor will probably be your most affordable option because a legit straight razor will cost about $100+ and you'll need to maintain it.

A safety razor looks like this:

Just keep your hair closely cropped and you can sharpen the edges with one of these. Use the outliner to set-up the shape then finish with this to add those razor sharp edges, but a straight razor will be the most precise because you can finesse in ways you won't be able to with the safety razor.

In general, I reccomend that every man learn how to shave with a safety razor because it's always going to give you the closest shave and it's cheaper than shytty multi blade razors.

It's very versatile because you shape your beard and sharpen it in addition to going with a full on clean shave

any brehs with eczema problems this combination has been working wonders on it for me, even better then the antibiotics I was prescribed at my dermatologist.

take about a dime sized amount of cocoa butter and 3 drops of castor oil together and apply to the rash.


I even replaced the castor oil with tee tree oil and it also works well.
Aveeno is also great for eczema too

A lot of products here have a lot of harsh chemicals that are toxic. If you're using soaps, shampoos, or anything that lathers check the label for sodium laurel sulfate. Avoid anything that has it. For deodorants buy ones that are aluminum and paraben free. Alcohol in mouth wash does'nt help and can make your breath worse. Read the labels. If there's 50 ingredients and you can't recognize 90% of them, don't buy it.

Buy natural products like tea tree oil, coconut oil (virgin, cold pressed), and castille soap. You can mix them and make for own shampoos and facial cleansers.

Food items are good too. To whiten teeth mash a strawberry, mix in a little baking soda, and brush your teeth with it. Don't use straight baking soda on teeth or it will wear out your enamel. Raw honey is good as a mask to moisturize the face. If it's hot out, a little corn starch on the crotch will keep the odor away.

Cop one of these:

Scrape your tongue and your breath will stay fresh.

If you want waves use a soft or medium bristle brush not hard. Brush the top from the crown to the front. Brush the sides down at a 45 degree angle. Brush the back straight down.
