Hello from the future! If you still have the bag, or any other leather that isn't as supple or soft as you think it could/should be, get some 100% pure Neetsfoot oil (only get the pure stuff). Apply thin coats and it'll soak it up and rejuvenate quickly. I use it on my satchel, belts, and even my denim patches. Great stuff, cheap, and a little goes a long way.
You should definitely make a pomade video! Maybe even a general video about different hair styling products (pomade, fiber, clay, etc) and their recommended hair types could be very informative. Definitely would've appreciated a video like that when I was in high school.
I liked the intro, particularly the shot out your window of the trees swaying with the wind. My favorite intro's are from tailosive tech/ev with his sartorial skits. I like them cause they give a little more insight to what the hard core community thinks and argues about but I don't know about cause I don't peruse forums as much.
Hey. Love your videos. I look forward to them every friday. The quality is so great and I just love to listen no matter what you talk about. Keep it up 👍
Another very entertaining video! Didn't you used to have a Universal Geneve Polerouter and a Cartier Santos as well? Do you still wear them too? Just curious. Have a great weekend.
A video on pommade is a direct attack to us bald followers but I'll allow it. This time. I have to get a new knife. I had one that was a groomsman gift but it flew off of my motorcycle one day near a playground and I couldn't find it. My wife commented "whatever child finds it is going to be the luckiest / most dead kid on that playground!" And,yes, finding the perfect notebook is a lifelong journey. I've recently settled on 4" x 5.5" notebooks (Moleskine, Zequenz,etc.) with tons of pages for work because they're not too small yet can fit in the chest pocket of blazers when on the move.
Yo where can I find updates on your jacket? Wanna know so I can start saving up the money to purchase 😅 alsoooo would you consider adding a blanket lining?!
Just through the vlogs for now and kinda on @theironsnail IG!! And oh a blanket lining is a must! I want to make a solid first unlined jacket and then expand the fleet when things are moving!
@@TheIronSnail awesome 👏 can’t wait for things to hit the ground and running! Also, if you ever need someone to help draw up and create ideas for clothes and denim in general I’m super down 😌I’ve always had ideas but not really the initiative to go source and manufacture because of how consuming my current job is, but I’d love to lend a helping hand!
A video on pomade would be interesting. Once upon a time i used pomade (tried many different brands) and then one day i realized how greasy it looks and what a pain it is to wash it out. The last straw for me was when on dates girls tried to comb with their hands through my hair. Not nice. Since then i usually use just a little bit of matte clay. I'm actually surprised you use pomade, I would've guessed it's some kind of hair cream. Your hair looks fluffy, not greasy and the strains don't seem to stick that much. And yes, before you're weirded out: i think I've used pretty much every single hair product there is on this planet.
HA i used to use hairspray and people would touch my hair and be like “…oh…crunchy…” There are a few pomades that have worked for me but matte clays are the absolute best. And yeah I’m using a clay in this video!! I go back and forth and try and mess around with different things all the time!
@@TheIronSnail yeah, gotta be careful with hair spray or you'll have the equivalent of a hedgehog, or worse, an armadillo grabbing onto your skalp. Glad to hear you're experimenting too, I'm still on the hunt for the unicorn that is the perfect hair product. A small tip for my fellow bros who might be reading this and have problems with unruly hair: what I've found is that washing your hair with shampoo more rarely, aka every four days or so, does wonders to your hair. You can still rinse it under cool water every day, just don't use any shampoos or soaps. The naturals oils in your hair give it an amazing shine, hold and make weavy hair straight. If you're looking for a bit more hold and defined style use a bit of matte paste or clay. Counterintuitively it's not greasy or disgusting at all. Your hair gets dry and super greasy only when you abuse frequent hair washes and hair products. Anyways. This comment might be weird but i figured as long as this channel still hasn't blown up we weirdos are among ourselves.
I wonder what reminder or task app you use, my apple reminders never work because I switched over from android and I’m now using google tasks. Wondering what’s better out there
LOL at the part about loving tech and becoming a software engineer only to realize you don't like it. I am in the same boat. though it doesn't suck that much if it's the right project and people. very rarely it is. Awesome video!
Hello I am a french Canadian but i try to write english.🧐 Hello it's the first time I saw your vidéo🎥 I follow you now. For my self I youse a Nikormat Ftb 1975. 35 mm. and a Yashica Matt gt 120 roll😎Have Fun Louis from Montréal
Unsolicited advice but you need to buy a Chris Reeve Sebenza 31. It’s a work of art incredibly sought after holds its value and is the Rolex Daytona of the knife world. Simply put if you have unlimited funds it’s the best knife money can buy
Have you ever seen “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Because that film has a lot of pomade references in it, it’s the only other place I’ve heard of Pomade before.
i always have earplugs with me, just in case it to loud or I want to think without sound. I have not seen anyone else having it. I totally recoment it.
Funny , I thought you *might* be a pomade guy. Have you used any of the japanese Cool Grease Pomades? The Cool Grease Fibre (Yellow) is probably the best one. Who would have thought that the Japanese would do new-school pomade the best?!
Hello there, maybe you forgot to mention a pen? Parker are the best edc you’ll find…And for the pomade, you should try layrite, definitely the top. ;-) cheers, Rémi

“Everything you've ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear.” Sharing some positivity with all of you. Keep smiling you are amazing.
I liked the intro, it's good to see you've got the 24/7 sleepcam online again.
Feels good to fire up the 24/7 monitoring system!
”Hi, I’m Michael, and I’m NOT not the curator of The Iron Snail”
Wait wait no i am here! It’s me! Michael!
Brb just going to pomade my recently shaved head, such an inspiration 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Bahahahahaha you know i thought to myself “how many bald people are going to say something” and 2 is already more than i thought
@@TheIronSnail I wouldn't say bald, but it's still short enough to be classed as a crisis 😎😎😎

What an entertaining video! Wasnt expecting this to be so comedic. Subscribed!
You are missing an overbuilt pen or pencil. Might I recommend y studio.
Your content style blows my mind and inspires me. Thanks for being awesome!
Fun vid. You just missed something important: your everyday bag. I wish you talked about it. Although you have another vid about your bags.
This was funny. I do agree with the need to hold onto flat rectangular things
Ty! And yes, give us your flat rectangular things to hold
@@TheIronSnail take my chocolate just take it
Gladly and with haste
I always appreciated character, so that intro of yours is most welcomed.
Oh well thank you!!

Dude drop a link to one of your stand up shows.......
Hey man, great vid! Sorry its been a while, but Im glad to see your channel growing. Big ups Pimp!
Lawrence! Never a problem thanks for swinging by the ol channel! And ay ay ayyyyy!

feels like a Wes Anderson opening
Ty!
need small flashlight, powerpack for electronics, guns (plural)
Just a few rifles will do!
Can I get an ID on the sweatshirt in the introduction? Looks cosy. Great video as usual.
Of course! It’s a J-Crew terry sweatshirt. It’s pretty thin though so as long as that’s okay you’ll love it!
How much did the rolex watch cost for you?
Also, where did you purchase the model ? (model code?)
Thanks for great videos!
