I recommend going slow with hand tools. Buy them one or two at a time, and then learn to use, sharpen, and care for those before buying more. This will help you get the best stuff for you while spending as little as possible. Let your projects guide your tool purchases.
Amazon isn't a great place to buy hand tools. Most people shop at either Lee Valley, Lie-Nielsen, or eBay for planes, chisels, saws, rasps, etc. That said, there's a surprising amount of stuff you'll need that's not the tools themselves. Personally, I wouldn't want to saddle myself with an inferior tool just to use a gift certificate.
Anyways. Stuff you SHOULD buy on amazon:
Hand Tools
Clamps
Measuring/Marking
Sharpening Gear
Consumables
Safety Gear
[ingrown tweezers] (http://www.amazon.com/Tweezerman-Stainless-Steel-Ingrown-Splintertweeze/dp/B000EMYHA8)
that pocket/hole was kind of a shock. I guess it's just where the pus built up, but it squeezed out the side of the area. Looks like there was another ingrown right next to the hole.
May I recommend some special "ingrown" tweezers? They were a favorite of a guy who had a massive channel devoted to ingrowns: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EMYHA8/ This isn't a commission link - I just genuinely love mine - they are great. They can get something that tiny that regular tweezers can't. A bit pricey but worth it.
Copied and pasted from another thread mostly, but I added a bunch of links in there. :)
>contouring products are great for softening jawlines and shifting the bone structures of your face. Eyeliner/mascaras are always essential and invest in a pair of really good tweezers, eyebrows makes and breaks a face.
I personally recommend:
contour kit, iono why this is so expensive on amazon but its hella cheap in drugstores, if you wanna spend a bit more for talc free
Brow shit: for trimming, nice sharp tip there, tweezerman is the best, they help you sharpen the tips when it gets dull! i have the mini one in pokadot, this is really handy if you have thicker hair that tends to get ingrown, obligatory cutest fucking thing in the universe
>Also invest in epilators, wax strips, or even laser if you have pale skin and dark hair. You really can't beat the smooth skin it gives you, and like when you shave and have darker hair, when the hair is starting to grow out but is still under the skin, you can kind of see it and can't really do anything about it. Even though this is a makeup subreddit, I feel like this is probably more important than foundations or blushes or stuff like that because five o clock shadow breaks immersion more than anything else.
can't go wrong with braun, for wax i just use good ol veet, but i've heard good things about this stuff
>Unless you have a naturally delicate jawline, stay away from bright/dark lipsticks until after hormonal treatments. Usually the male jawline is a bit more stronger and a bright lip draws attention to it.
>The good news is, usually testosterone makes the lashes thick and long! So curl them babies and put mascara on them! :)
Own the same pair, these are amazing.
Totally worth it.
I find that the shaft hairs and the hairs above the pubic bone don't actually hurt to pluck. Maybe they hurt the first time but they don't hurt at all now. In fact I've plucked enough that they just kind of slide out with a gentle tug.
Always pluck in the direction of the hair. If you don't get the root or the hair breaks off at the base you want it to keep growing in the right direction.
Plucking after a hot shower is idea. Exfoliate your junk in the shower and then pluck when you get out. I use one of those nylon loofahs and scrub the area I pluck every time I take a shower. It exfoliate the light skin grow that can begin to trap the newly grown hairs.
Get a good pair of tweezers. This part is critical. Most dudes don't even own tweezers and if they do they are probably some shitty pair that came with a little grooming kit somebody gave them as a Christmas present when they were a teenager. You need to invest in a good pair. I have two pairs that I use... the Tweezerman Stainless Steel Slant Tweezer and the Tweezerman Stainless Steel Ingrown Hair Splintertweeze. They make extremely high quality tweezers with a lifetime guarantee and free lifetime sharpening (if they ever seem to lose their gripping power you can send them back and they'll re-grind the tips for you).
The first tweezer should be your everyday tweezers. The second, the needle tip ones, should be for in grown hairs and careful use once you've gotten good at using the regular tweezers. I've gotten crazy good with the needle tip ones can I can do my entire tweezing area in a matter of minutes with a creepy spider-spinning-a-web like efficiency. If you start off with the needle ones you'll probably end up accidentally stabbing yourself in the sac. Still they're good to have on hand for the occasional ingrown hair.
On tweezing your sac: You can do it... but be prepared for a little more pain, a little more bleeding, and a marginally higher chance of ingrown hairs. The hair follicles on the sac are very close to the surface and the scrotum is blood vessel rich. The follicles are also freaking huge. Be prepared for a little bleeding when you first do it as those roots come out like you're yanking bath plugs out.
I'm trying to think of any other tips hmmm. Oh... hold the skin with a little bit of tension but not too tight. If you hold it too loose you pull the skin up pretty good when you pull the hair and that can smart a little bit. If you pull the skin too taunt the hair usually breaks off halfway down or annoyingly close to the skin. Experiment with a medium tension.
Edited to add:
Now you may be asking yourself, after reading this far... "God damn? Is it worth it?"
Yes. Yes it is.
I have all the benefits of a nice smooth shaft and pubic area without the regular irritation of shaving (plucking doesn't irritate my skin at all). No matter what the area is soft and smooth (even when the hair grows in it is growing a brand new hair and not pushing up a jagged piece of stubble). Your SO will appreciate it (my wife, for example, liked the shaved look but hated how, even after a good shave, there was still some irritation on her vulva/vaginal opening because of the residual stubble).
Give it at least a month to get used to it and do a good job thinning out the hair. After that if you decide you hate it... you'll at least have nice silky new hair grown to show for your effort instead of a stubbly angry bush.
I have done large projects with Hama Minis. Don't tape method with Hama Minis. The height is way too inconsistent for this to work.
Do be sure to double check the height of every single bead you place. Especially with the lighter colors, some beads can be shorter than the actual pegs. Be sure to buy more of these than you need. I found about 10% of mine to be too short or too tall.
Make sure your iron is set really low. I mean really really low. The boards warp too easily, though they also easily flatten under weight.
Be very careful prying your sprite off of the board after you iron it. Whatever you do, don't over-iron.
Big sprites behave VERY differently from small sprites.
The pegs on the board snap off very easily, especially at the corners. ALL of my boards were missing at least one corner when I received them; presumably this happened during shipping.
Regular tweezers are a horrendous pain. Get yourself a pair of really nice, needlenose tweezers like these. The investment is worth it, even for single board sprites.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll edit if I think of something else.
