Amazing you mentioned St. Hiliare. My father in law imported it into the US for decades. It is amazing! We use to talk about the price, and that he needed to push to have it marketed on a national level. It is France's oldest sparkling wine, and Thomas Jefferson had it in his wine cellar. That image of St. Hiliare brought back a lot of memories. Thank you.
I suggest buying a carbon one an a knife sharping set(stone and leather, not those you get in the supermarket). It's quite easy to get a substitute razor blade That way.
@@putturin4723 Lightweight, sharp and strong and about the cheapest pocket knives you can find, I've had the same no.7 carbonne for 12years now, yes I have to sharpen it from time to time, to keep it razor sharp but it has never been blunt in all those years of borderline abusive use. What makes you say they are terrible, I'm interested in your experience as mine is great!
Absolutely! They are also quite stylish and much less threatening than your usual EDC knives. I carry mine even in my suit pocket. I would advise against carbon if you aim to use it as a snack knife since it catches rust quite easily. I was about to get a Böker Urban Trapper but after picking up the Opi I never even got around to it. Love it!
Sven, I recently bought my father a bottle of Red Boat sauce on your recommendation and he loves it. He’s already cooked a few delicious meals with it. Thank you as always for your impeccable taste!
The easiest thing to do is to buy your clothes at Brooks Brothers - you will never look bad. Thirty-nine years ago, the day before my wedding, I needed to have some emergency tailoring done. The Brooks Brothers tailor had missed altering one side seam on the beautiful black hairline striped suit I bought for the special occasion. I took it to my local tailor, a true Old World craftsman of the highest skill. When I handed the jacket to him, he inspected it very closely, repeatedly asking me in his thick accent, "How much did you pay for this?" He found it hard to believe that such a quality garment could be sold at such a fair price. As I said, go to Brooks Brothers.
@@Ricopolico Charlie Munger (Warren Buffett's billionaire business partner) has the same advice. He has said that he only gives Brooks Brothers gift cards for Christmas.
Raphael, yesterday I was going to go to go to the dentist and run some errands and before I left for the appointment, I began watching this video and I saw your recommendation for the Nivea Sensitive Skin Aftershave. When I went to the grocery store afterward, I made a point to pick it up and I used it this morning. I can honestly say that it was greatly superior to the aftershave I used before, and I am very satisfied with it. I'm going to use this rather than my old one. Thanks Raphael and keep up the good work!
Can't agree more about the Nivea post shave Balm. Had terribly sensitive skin as a young teen but was required to be clean shaven for school and so after trying almost everything at my pharmacy, I was bought this as a gift and it was amazing. Has a cooling effect after shaving and is non-greasy. Smells great and leaves my skin feeling normal instead if that sensitive post shave feeling.
So many useful and inexpensive items to improve my life! I'll add those Rada knives to my shopping list, along with a Pilot fountain pen. Your channel has positively impacted my gentlemanly style in so many way. Thanks again for another great video!
If you are not sure of fountain pens, and want to try them, buy a Jinhao 911, looks cool, all metalic with black plastic where you hold it. For someone who does not care, or does not have the knowledge or fine eye for fountain pens writing quality, this one is great, and it costs less than 3 USD. It even has a hooded nib if you are insecure of using them in public.
.........you are terrific as usual...I always feel like I'm visiting with a good friend when watching your videos...I went right to Amazon & ordered 2 of those Rada tomato slicing knives...they were just what I was looking for................
Nivea ASB - great for shaving, truly astounding for sunburn. I have thinning hair, and there have been numerous occasions when the ol' pate gets singed. Nivea to the rescue, it stops the pain most effectively, and doesn't leave a greasy residue...
Been using the Better Than Boullion for a couple of years now. Had difficulty sourcing the granuals at a local store, and picked up this stuff instead. It works great and is easy to adjust the flavor strength.
As a fountain pen guy I can confirm that the Pilot Metropolitan is pretty much the best value for money out there! They just bumped up the price of the product, however, so you might have to hunt around to find it available at $15. Good alternatives to the Metro (if you want that classic look) include the Platinum Plaisir and the Italix Parson's Essential.
After watching this video I went and purchased a bottle of Saint-Hilaire and did the hang over test so you wouldn’t have to. After enjoying a bottle the next morning I felt just fine. Passed with flying colors. Also it is delicious. Another great tip from Gentlemens Gazette
I know this video is a couple years old, but I can vouch for the Nivea Shave Balm. Used that for years. I used the original non-sensitive for the longest time and that one kinda stings. Switched to the sensitive one and that stuff is amazing. No need to look for another.
Thank you so much for so many tips. Regarding to cook with """"Red Boat Fish Sauce"""....my daughter in law introduced us to this spice, she is an excellent cook Vietnamese & this sauce is really & truly amazing in any combination...very exotic & palatable for our American / European taste. 😘😗
I took about a month to shave (I've been a beard man for the last 15 years and decided to grow it back), but I decided to go with the Nivea sensitive after shave balm and it was fantastic. For the entire time I had my beard I would just dry shave my neck and the edge of the beard and then leave it without any kind of skin or beard care but I'm going to stick with wet shaving those parts and using the after shave balm, and keeping the beard groomed and fresh with some beard oil/balm. Thanks for the tips!
I just found you channel and I enjoy it immensely. It's already having a effect on me. I currently sag my pants gangsta style but am now trying suspenders. My plan is to slowly ratchet them up until I achieve respectability. Thank you!
Time and time again, Gentleman's Gazette has been a priceless asset for me. Thank you for being their and for being so satisfyingly inspirational to watch. .
THE PEN IS SO TRUE!!! I have that exact pen and have had it for over a year now and it is amazing. I have never lost it because of the case and knowing it's 'expensive' to replace and you actually save overtime because of the refillable ink.
I couldn't agree more about the Nivea shave balm. I have allergies and also don't like any kind of heavy scent. It's perfect for me an the price is amazing. I just switched to DE shaving and haven't completely settled on shaving cream/soap or pre shave balm, but the Nivea stuff ended my post shave balm search. Thanks for the recommendation!
I don't know if it's available where you live, but an excellent (and usually cheaper) alternative to champagne is the Italian Prosecco. Apart from some cases, bottles are affordable and high in quality.
I will check out a few of those items. Shower gel is typically detergent, which is synthetic soap. I use Olive oil as after shave, and face moisturizer. Also try fish sauce mixed in your eggs when making your favorite omelette.
Shave with Proraso shaving soap. $10 per bowl on Amazon, but will last well over a year. You’ll have to get a shaving brush to get started, but it makes shaving SO much better even if you use a disposable razor. MUCH better than shaving cream or gels.
I am hands down on the pilot metropolitan 100% and a slightly more expensive alternative is the TWSBI line. For a watch the best cheap watch is the Seiko snk809, Made by a well known brand and the 7s26 movement is in their higher end watches and is very beautiful.
Gotta back you up on the Seiko recommendation, Vivek. I picked up an SNKN37 from that Recraft series and received two compliments at work on the first day I wore it. The movement is great and the price was about $100 from a seller via Amazon called JomaShop.
Baby Gerald I agree, I've had many watches and am an avid watch collector but I've had that 80 dollar Seiko for years and it still looks like new, would rather buy 100 of those than a rolex.
My hat's off to you for this truly delightful and helpful video certainly life can be just as much fun and enjoyable with some of these affordable hidden treasures.
Thank you for the recommendation of Saint Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux. Its a fantastic French sparkling white wine, and in my opinion this $13 bottle of Saint Hilaire tastes better than a $150 bottle of Dom Perignon! Highly recommend it!
Here in the California wine country (Napa) we have a brand called "Two Buck Chuck" which is excess high quality wine which has been rebottled. This helps limit the supply of the "high quality" wine without dumping the excess. At wine tastings here in the valley sommeliers will often set up tastings where Two Buck Chuck is pitted against well known wines. Once the joke is revealed they will make comments about people who taste the price tag rather than the wine.
I like to use Murray's pomade. It's 2-3 bucks per can and I can make it do whatever I want it to. It's old fashioned, using the same recipe since 1927.
Very interesting! Just today, I've been trying the champagne cocktail with Benedictine. The Saint should be perfect for if it's dry enough. Not all Brut is created equal.
Cheap but good! I love this kind of thing! Another affordable, really good, gentleman's item: Buck 503 Prince. This is the perfect sized pocket knife: as small as possible but large enough; lock blade; stainless; easy to sharpen; tough; thin in the pocket; pleasing to the eye. Still made in the U.S. My parents gave me my first 503 when I was a kid in the 1970s, I lost it. In the 1980s, as a young adult, I bought a new 503 because no other pocket knife I'd owned was quite as good. I've carried it ever since. My first one had a wood inlay in the handle. My current one from the 80s has a fiber composite handle inlay, but I see they're back to using real wood when I view their website.
I’ve been using the Nivea ball for years and I have to agree it is amazing! Especially since I have sensitive face skin like the lil baby I am it makes my face not break out or be itchy
Hans Gruber The recipe was lost as barbarian hordes of the, mostly, West-Goths swarmed the Empire. The sauce was called ‘garum’, btw. (They used it instead of salt, usually).
Seriously consider checking out Everyman Jack's post shave lotion. I have very sensitive skin. It's super soothing lightweight and non greasy. It comes in Unscented and Cooling Mint. It runs about $5 per tube, and around $8 in a two pack on amazon
How about the Fiskars scissors? I have been using the same pair for over 25 years and still like them! I have have made a special case for them, use them alot, and consider them as one of my best.
St hiler great. Bought fairly inexpensive lapel pin first night pretty woman reached over to feel it, thanks!!! Great advise great channel glad I subscribed.
Hey! Your list seems to be so well known that, when I bougth the Saint-Hilaire sparklilng wine, Amazon suggested the Pilot pen and the Red Boat fish sauce to me.
What I did was pick a particular accessory that I would invest in and people would start to notice more. I started with hats when I was in college. Moved from ball caps to flat caps to trillbies and now real fedoras. Then moved to ties. Plain neckties and maybe some fancy tie knots. Then added blazers and sport coats. Now I'm fluffing out my suit collection. I haven't worn a polo to my business casual office in 6 months. You'll still turn heads no matter what but if you star small, your confidence will build up and you can start adding more and more.
I strongly agree with the Metropolitan. I received a torrent of compliments from many pretty ladies in college for the black one. I even received compliments in an interview. A much better option to do that sealing signature with than a ballpoint. I will also recommend the Pilot custom 74 for those with a slightly higher budget.
Love the Better than Bouillon stuff...have it in every flavor. Great substitute for anyone who can't find that brand of fish sauce, is just anchovy paste. Great in pasta, salad dressings, etc.
Bar soap suggestion, Duke canyon Massive bricks of soap on par with doc squatch but over double the size an less than half the price. Personal favorite scent is accomplishment
I bought 2 bars of soap from DSC lasted me 4 months, 2 months each, it's good and natural and i was impressed that they last that long because i take a shower every morning.
Don't forget German Riesling :). And good call on the inexpensive tomato knife. Expensive filet knifes are high carbon and won't flex. A cheap flexible blade often does a much better job, of fish for example.
Fountain pen: Platinum PLT-5000: a gold nib pen for about 60 dollars. Fantastic pen and one of my go-to writing instruments as EDC. Might be a bit small if you have large hands though. Much better than the Metropolitan.
I use Nivea post shave balm. It works great. The only problem is that if it’s hot out it feels kind of sticky and uncomfortable. Other than that, great product
Another quality bar soap user, very nice! :) Actually also using L' Occitane verbena variant right now, and it's great. Little more expensive but lasts a long time and is great for your skin.
For Scissors really go vintage. Used ones, completely made of metal are usually of much higher quality and are easy to maintain and resharpen. I use two I inherited from my granddad. They work like new and much better than anything you can find in a store today. And with knives any knive with a straight edge and good blade will be able to cut tomatoes effortlessly when it is just sharp enough. To me it is an essential gentlemans skill to know how to effectively sharpen a knive to that level even if he has nothing but the bottom of a porcelain cup as a sharpening tool.
I grew up with NO money and only ever wore nicer attire for military formal dining, weddings and funerals.
It is really appreciated for Gentlemen's Gazette to provide this guidance on classy attire.
I know that some products are favored, understood. But I have had to be the definition of utilitarian, the knowledge is welcome.

Nice list! May I suggest an Opinel pocket knife. Made in France for over 100 years, award-winning design, great quality, and less than $15.

A bar of soap that lasts half a year?!?! This I have to see. My Dove is gone in a month max
This makes good sense in a twelve bathroom home.
Because dove bar is not 100% compacted soap bar
Dove is whipped with air to make it seem soft. That's part of why it goes so fast.
Try Aleppo Soap

Millenial is a wide range and it would never apply to all of them.
And not to mention a term that usually alienates the people you're trying connect with.
For a 16 year old to be precise
Lots of good items in there. Huge fan of some.
Them Kai scissors are really worth it, I have some that are rusted up and had them for so so many years, but still work fine
I strongly agree with the Metropolitan. I received a torrent of compliments from many pretty ladies in college for the black one. I even received compliments in an interview. A much better option to do that sealing signature with than a ballpoint. I will also recommend the Pilot custom 74 for those with a slightly higher budget.
Those pilot metropolitan pens are AMAZING. Unbelievable that you can get them so cheap.
Proraso is a great after shave alternative
The Pilot Metropolitan is my most complimented item besides my suit.
Love the Better than Bouillon stuff...have it in every flavor. Great substitute for anyone who can't find that brand of fish sauce, is just anchovy paste. Great in pasta, salad dressings, etc.
Bar soap suggestion, Duke canyon
Massive bricks of soap on par with doc squatch but over double the size an less than half the price. Personal favorite scent is accomplishment
I bought 2 bars of soap from DSC lasted me 4 months, 2 months each, it's good and natural and i was impressed that they last that long because i take a shower every morning.
Don't forget German Riesling :). And good call on the inexpensive tomato knife. Expensive filet knifes are high carbon and won't flex. A cheap flexible blade often does a much better job, of fish for example.
Fountain pen: Platinum PLT-5000: a gold nib pen for about 60 dollars. Fantastic pen and one of my go-to writing instruments as EDC. Might be a bit small if you have large hands though. Much better than the Metropolitan.
I just opened a bottle of Saint Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux. It makes a fantastic mimosa! Even better than Segura Viudas Cava!
Oh! I've been looking for that Saint-Hilaire! My uncle served it and I couldn't quite remember the name.
My heart sank when you showed a good pair of scissors and then went ahead to cut cardboard with it
I spent a significant part of my childhood in limoux. But never once tried the sparkling wine. I know what I'm looking for tomorrow.
As far as pens go, I bought my Lamy Safari fountain for just over $20. It's got a Bauhaus design and works like a charm.
Product placement galore but presented in such a handsome manner!
Cheap vodka mixed with 69p co-op low calorie cola is delightful. I would advise a 200g bar of Iridium as a nice addition to your elements collection.
I use Nivea post shave balm. It works great. The only problem is that if it’s hot out it feels kind of sticky and uncomfortable. Other than that, great product
Another quality bar soap user, very nice! :) Actually also using L' Occitane verbena variant right now, and it's great. Little more expensive but lasts a long time and is great for your skin.
Will second the recommendation for the Nivea post-shave balm! I've been using it for nearly 8 years and it's great.
As someone who works in a liquor store sometimes the cheaper stuff is better. Knock offs aren’t always bad
Rada saw blade for tomatoes :D Get a ceramic knife if you don't want to learn to sharpen, easy to use and long time until dispose.
For Scissors really go vintage. Used ones, completely made of metal are usually of much higher quality and are easy to maintain and resharpen. I use two I inherited from my granddad. They work like new and much better than anything you can find in a store today. And with knives any knive with a straight edge and good blade will be able to cut tomatoes effortlessly when it is just sharp enough. To me it is an essential gentlemans skill to know how to effectively sharpen a knive to that level even if he has nothing but the bottom of a porcelain cup as a sharpening tool.
A good pair of scissors is definitely a good thing to have. Nice list!
Hey Sven... Great content, as always. Love your channel 👍🏻
From a fountain pen geek, yes Pilot Metropolitan is excellent pen.
