Good shower gel. A toothbrush and toothpaste. A good smell. Good underwear. Clothes suited to my age. A weekly trim. I treat my skin as an organ, and I have never worn make-up.
Clean clothes, every day
I change two or three times a day, and wash and dry everything on the roof terrace. I never wear clothes from the bus inside the house. And I never iron.
It sounds small. Done with intent, it is a big job, and it changes how you carry yourself.
None of it costs much. It takes time, and time is the new currency. Men notice a man who has looked after himself, even when they cannot say what it is.
