"Coffee People Are Pretentious"

[Tirvine]

New thread ideas...Best tasting soap or cream? Do you eat the extra soap off your brush? If you drink aftershave, which do you like best? How do you set your table to shave?

Moving on from the ridiculous to the real...How long does your pre-shave ritual take? How many steps in your pre-shave ritual? Same questions for post-shave.

For some people the guy who bothers wearing a shirt under his bib overalls is pretentious. I suppose it's all a matter of perspective.

Ask, and you shall receive. Behold! For I bring you Iced Coffee from Stirling!

Complete with Menthol, for mentholated junkies like me.​

What? No Caffeine? ...lol...and please...no sugar.....

And here is your soap-ready donut fragrance, sir. (You may mix it at up to a 9.24% concentration . . . in order to avoid singeing your donuts.)

Pretty sure that's everywhere. I mean, one might just as well wear a monocle and a top hat.

I've known "XXXX snobs" since I can remember.
Just replace XXXX with wine, pipe, cigar, coffee, tea, whisky, clothing, grammar and shaving.
No matter the endeavor, someone somewhere is going to try to tell you if you're not doing it their way, you're not doing it right.

 

[Phoenixkh]

Too true, unfortunately.

Enjoy your hobbies, regardless of what they are.

But please......

Try to have several hobbies so that you avoid having one of them turn into a. unhealthy obsession .

My pre-shave prep includes a shower. I wash my face with a skin friendly mild soap and add PAA Cube 2.0. I do this twice along with washing my hair with a bar shampoo. After my shower, I use a brush to apply another pre-shave: either the Cube 2.0 or Stirling pre-shave, melted in one of Captain’s Choice Soap Lockers.

I use three post-shave products.

To answer the question: it takes me longer to do pre and post shaving routines than weighing my coffee beans, grinding manually and brewing in the French press. <eg>

I always wear a shirt under my overalls. Long sleeve. It's thorny out there, don't wanna slit my wrists. What does "that guy" do, watch a still? Could wear a Speedo for that.

Top hat wouldn't keep the rain off. But I could get a monocle! If some low hanging branches pull it off, it's on a ribbon, right? Practical forestry wear.

Coffee? Cream and sugar please. Makes it palatable.

That's just barbaric. Like a kilt, you're really not even supposed to wear underwear.

In all seriousness, when you are wearing pocketless polos or T shirts, a monocle on a string, worn covered up except when in use, can be darned handy.

I never tasted a soap or cream. However, were I to start, Simpsons Café Latte likely would be at the top of the list.

I do not think I am snob, something can be Great IMHO, if I like it, love it, or buy it on regular basis because you like it.

Something as simple as a Cigar don't have to cost 500.00/Stick because it a Davadoff Pro to be great. Could be something g called unbranded house blend under $3.00/stick and still be good.

Enjoying Box wine is not a crime, some people love the stuff.

This is spot on. I have greatly enjoyed many lower cost whiskies, wines, cigars, and golf balls. My car is fun but nothing pricey. I have two lovely guitars, but I have played some fairly low cost ones that were awfully good. I have reveled in some low cost lumpfish caviar. When I have the rare chance to partake of fancier stuff, it is not necessarily a better or even very different. Now and then it is "O wow" better, but that is rare for me. I will say that Champagne might be the exception. There are a few very expensive ones that are just astounding.

My point exactly. Enjoy what you enjoy - We don't need to let some snob tell us what we need in order to enjoy them.

Here is my coffee making equipment. To make a good drink, you need good quality grain and skillful hands.

Koff.

There are many occasions when wearing something under one's kilt is considered, as they say in Gaelic, "de rigeur." The two that come easiest to mind are competitors in Highland Games competitions and Highland dancers. Both relatively energetic pastimes.

O.H.
