00:00 Introduction
Today’s list includes a series of products and activities that are really best in the old fashioned way. Not only do they lead to better results, but you can usually help you save some money along the way.
Products
00:47 Clothes bush
Essentially, you should go for a handmade product because it lasts longer, the bristles will stay in, they won't come loose, and on top of that, it's superior to a lint roller.
01:29 Natural fibers
Generally, last longer, hold their shape better, look better, and cover the full range of functionality.
03:16 Suspenders or Braces
They have an advantage over belts in the sense that they hang on your shoulders and as such, you can have your pants a little looser.
04:38 Good old wooden hanger
Having a nice wooden hanger that is matte and that can absorb some sweat and that supports your shoulder is much better for your jacket any day.
05:00 Fountain pen
With a fine nib and ideally in gold, you create a really nice font, a little more pressure, you get wider lines and slimmer lines which makes your signature fake proof and on top of that, it's just a nicer, cleaner line.
06:15 Photo album
Having a physical photo album that you can go through with your parents or your loved ones is just a one of a kind experience that can't be replicated on a screen.
06:57 Cast iron pan
Cast iron can be heated to incredibly high temperatures and if you grease them right, they are naturally non-stick.
07:32 Good old hats
The reason being, back in the day, a lot of men wore hats and so they were companies that focused exclusively on the higher end of the market.
Activities
08:48 Getting dressed to go in public
I know it's tempting to just wear your sweatpants or your pajamas to go and grab some groceries at the same time, if you have respect for yourself and you show up properly attired or nicely attired, people recognize you for it, they will respect you more.
09:22 Handwritten notes
If you write your condolences because someone died or if you write a thank you card actually using a handwritten note has so much more weight.
09:47 Have a difficult conversation in person
In-person, what you say can be very different depending on the way you look and how you express yourself and that has a huge impact.
10:41 Hosting a Dinner Party
Dinner parties are an old-fashioned, yet eminently useful tool for getting people together and promoting two of the most important things human beings do: have meaningful conversations and eat.
11:45 Using a Real Camera
Not only is it much faster when it comes to autofocus and the speed of shooting but they are also more accurate and because you have a larger sensor, you can separate an object much better.
12:50 Wet Shaving
I know electric shavers are quite convenient and they can be handy when you travel, however, if you want a high-quality shave, going with a double edge razor is simply very quick and it gives you great results.
13:37 Taking Notes by Hand
Interestingly, several studies have shown that taking notes by hand with a pen and paper can increase the long-term comprehension over taking notes with a laptop.
14:06 Thrifting
When it comes to clothes, you can find great finds such as Savile row suits or high-end shirts at a huge markdown, of course, it requires a lot of time, and if you don't have that maybe eBay is a better way to go.

John Drake, there are occasions where belt & braces are entirely appropriate - namedly when working. Okay, not in an office or shop, but there are many trades where your tools are carried in a work belt. Then, wearing braces with a belt becomes almost essential, as the weight of your tools needs the support of the braces - especially if you are working up a ladder...

I wouldn't necessarily say a big catalogue of manners is taught in the dancing schools from personal experience. You get a rough guide on how to behave on the night of the final dance but etiquette is never stressed greatly in my own opinion. Also a dancing school cannot teach a bunch of teenagers on how to behave, they should already come with a set of etiquette their parents taught them...

You forgot watches! Vintage watches have charm and character, plus manual wind and automatic watches of the past (no batteries here) mean you have to interact with your watch (wind it or wear it so it winds its self in the case of an automatic) which leads to you forming a kind of relationship with your watch.

@ShinKyuubi 6 жыл бұрын

I have an old fashioned pocket watch on a fob that belonged to my great grandpa on my mother's side of the family, it's a rather nice looking manual wind watch but sadly it's so old that the last place I took it to see if it could be fixed said it was beyond repair..the parts SOUND like they want to work and the second hand TRIES to move but it just won't..sadly I don't have a local dedicated watch shop I can go to to see if it can be fixed and had to rely on a local jewelry store's watch guy. And since it's a family heirloom I'm rather scared to send it away somewhere for repair.

@prepperjonpnw6482 5 жыл бұрын

I love watches! I wear different watches for different activities and of course the appropriate clothing as well. I do have a watch that I wear more than 50% of the time though. It’s a Citizen Eco-drive Quartz and you never wind it or change a battery. It absorbs light through the face and stores it in a permanent battery. On a full charge it will go a couple of years, without receiving any light, and still function. And it looks great/manly at the same time. I highly recommend it as well as other watches made by Citizen. I get at least one compliment per week.

@Cerdo_asqueroso 2 жыл бұрын

I totally agree with you, the old fashioned way is much better. There are also many video here in KZfaq about people (most of them in th UK) who prefer to live this way, they dress like that, their houses look like 1940's or 1930's houses, their cars look like that, and the music they listen is from those decades. When I watched those videos I wished I could live the same place they live so I could do the same and not be alone in this. I like so much those decades that I even dreamed about it, the dream was so real that I really felt terrible when I woke up and I realized I was living in this era. Nevertheless, I realized that it doesn't matter how much I love those decades and it doesn't matter if I could get the resources the people I mentioned have to live like them, time advances and society changes, and we have to adjust to it, we like it or not. I would really like to dress like the 1940's, but I know that if I would do that I would be out of place. For some reason, the trending now is having a pony tail with a "Mulan" hair style and a beard (hypster style I think it is), and guess what, I'm like this. Of course I prefer the 1940's fashion, but unfortunatley I live in this era and I have to adjust to it.

It only takes a few hours of actual road-time to practice enough to be proficient at using one, so there's no justification for not being able to handle a clutch. Over time, the more you practice, the better you get at it... It puts you (driver) truly in closer "feeling" touch to the road and the machine performance, and allows you all the more responsibility and control for the comfort of the drive/ride. :o)

Hi Sven! It's so funny that you mention that you got your beginning with fountain pens! When I was at university I was trying to find a way to make note-taking an enjoyable experience. Not only was my first fountain pen a Lamy, I used to to teach myself cursive handwriting. I had terrible handwriting up to that point in my life and I vowed that I would overcome the obstacle. I practiced so much that I developed calluses on my fingers. I'm so glad that I learned. I've had many compliments on my writing both on content and aesthetics. And family members will actually come to me to have cards written. The Lamy has been my workhorse pen for years. But I rewarded myself with the Visconiti Homo Sapiens when I graduated. The Paladium nib has a lot more give than the Lamy. It is quite funny that we share so many of the same values.

As a fam of vintage clothing, I get why you would wear this stuff daily. The quality, the style, the feeling you get qhen you wear a vintage garment. It can be quite an experience to wear a double breasted 3 piece suit form the 1930s, I recently bought a double breasted vashmere overcoat from the 1970s, but it is styled like a 1930s piece, It's greater than anything I could find in the modern stores. It's hard to find vintage clothing nowadays, many reproductions, but I was lucky enough to get my hands on some and completely understand. Keep up the great work Schneider!

So glad you mentioned taking handwritten notes, and the research demonstrating that they help with retaining and comprehending information. I'm a late-life college student, and my old fashioned note-taking by hand serves me so well in helping me remember and understand lectures and other studies. I make the effort to use a fountain pen and the kind of quality paper that can handle such pens, which makes the experience esthetically satisfying as well. Using fountain pens instead of regular pens has the additional advantage of being more environmentally friendly, especially if you use bottled inks with your pen. If you take care of your pens, they will last for generations. As for t he ink: It is possible to bring it with you in some inexpensive ways, like simply reusing an ink sample vial or an inexpensive small Nagene bottle, and tucking it into your backpack. I do advise putting such a bottle in a small Ziploc bag with some paper towels, to prevent spills if the cap should come off during transit.

You are pure genius, Raphael. That's the only way to say it. I've always used a sterling fountain pen (Cross) that I bought in the 1970s in New York. To take life notes in my Ralph Lauren small brown leather notebook. With the little paper with six holes. All those details of a gentleman's style just make life sweeter. You are the king. Thanks for doing what you do.

I realised it’s because of your age people are immature when you’re 5yrs older they will compliment you and if they don’t they’re merely just conforming just like how if we went back 70 years ago they would look at you weird if you were wearing tshirt and flip flops being true to yourself is always then best way to go. And it’s also lucky you’re not related to me I would’ve filled you with suits I have over 20 and and anywhere I go I get compliments but then again it’s England where in members club everyone has a suit on

I agree with you that a photo book or album of pictures makes a lovely gift. Hand written notes are so classy and considerate. I wish more people would write thank you notes -- that's how i survived all these years! Everyone should carry a small notebook and a pen. Yes indeed, buy top quality in a classic style, and it will still serve you 20 years later if you take care of it.

I can't believe it, I agree with everything you said! I thought that I was the only one who still uses a double edge blade razor. I have several vintage ones that I've been using for almost fifty years. I'm also glad that you endorse thrifting. There's nothing ungentlemanly about saving a bit of cash and finding unique, high quality items. (I once bought a Hickey Freeman suit for $5.) Another great area for thrifting is kitchen equipment. A professional chef that I know was very envious of my set of vintage Sabatier knives, but she knew that I'd never part with them at any price. They were not expensive. I am really enjoying your channel, who knows, my wife might notice some improvement!

I love this guy's presentation and although I probably don't do everything on his list, I can see how I could appreciate it. I have had the same double-edge straight razor for over ten years and agree on how more economical and better quality shave it gives. I also agree on looking your best whenever you go out. Why not show up for yourself. It doesn't have to be black tie but a simple white button down shirt, well fitting blazer, and pants does the trick.

@adrielrowley 6 жыл бұрын

Another advantage of a DE razor is can get the angle of the grind that works for your skin. I then found over time my skin actually became less sensitive. Also, hair grows differently for the colour, with red actually growing along the skin in a twist until long enough to be off the skin (told by a barber when asked why painful to shave everyday). Hope this helps.

I'm always taking notes by hand in a book and often I'm the only one who can reliably memorize what was said in a discussion and who took which responsibilies for certain actions if it was informal where often no one else cared to write it into some device and provide notes to everyone. It has been helpful many times, if question arises in the next meeting I just flip back a few pages and within seconds it's answered. And with a nice notebook and a good pen it's fun too.

I was with you until you mentioned 35mm sensors. For 99% of people, the larger sensor is very unnecessary. I can only recommend them to pros and highly skilled amateurs. Full frame cameras tend to be harder to use since they're made with professionals in mind. I am not even going to bother talking about medium format, something that is wholly unnecessary, even for a lot of pros. While I absolutely do believe in investing in a proper camera, APS-C is perfectly fine for the majority of people. Better to invest in lenses since they will stand the test of time better, even after a camera body becomes outdated.

I liked this. Except for the suspenders part. According to my old-fashioned Savile Row tailors, you don't need suspenders unless your trousers are the wrong fit, or you yourself are unfit ... well, strike that ... let us say "cigar shaped" instead. But belts, as you say, are always off.

@NexuJin 5 жыл бұрын

From a practical point of view, if someone has lost a few pounds. It's possible their trousers won't be a perfect fit anymore and slowly sinks over the course of the day (or night). And a belt causes this bulb in the middle section which doesn't look flattering. Like with a tuxedo, but than you'll be wearing a gillet so that's a great way to hide the suspenders. I'm no fan of suspenders either but I can imagine a few scenario's where I would prefer it over non.

@TimothyRCrowe 4 жыл бұрын

Suspenders with a suit is not only correct, but far more practical and make for a better fit and cleaner look than wearing a belt. Keep the belt in the jeans and get some good suspenders.
