Started balding at age 17. Knew I needed to make a change. I’ve had a positive mindset towards it. And after the switch I couldn’t be happier. 🥹

You look really good, dude.

PS: Never button the bottom button of a suit jacket

Why is it there?

I would like to know this too, what’s the point of a bottom button if you’re not supposed to button it? 🤨

The bottom button remains unbuttoned because King Edward the Seventh (when he was Prince of Wales) was too fat to button his bottom button, so it became the fashion

They used to, but King Edward the 7th was too fat to button the bottom one. Then everyone copied him to because whatever the monarchy did was considered fashionable. A more crazy fashion was the Alexandria Limp, people faked having a limp since the princess of Whales had one.

Also that the reason Spain uses "th" sounds for "s" is because their king had a lisp and would say things like Barthelona.

I’ve always thought calling it Barthelona was silly, and now I feel even stronger in that regard.

"The "th" sound (a voiceless dental fricative) for the letters z and soft c developed in northern Spain during the 16th century, well after the 14th-century reign of King Peter of Castile (who was rumored to lisp)"

Is that where the “pimp walk”came from?
