I just got into wetshaving about 3 weeks ago and it got me thinking. This is a classic, time honored way of shaving. Very "romantic" if you will. But this forum is not just about wetshaving. No, classic scents abound, and grooming in general. To me this is a forum of class.
Along those lines I was thinking about boties(hence the name of the post). The bowtie has received a bad name in the last many years. Now basically relegated to those who are "nerds" or just plain weird. I now see this as very wrong. Churchill wore one, Roosevelt as well. And we still know it be as much a part of the tuxedo as ever. In fact as I age(age, ha I'll be 26 in October), I find myself more and more fascinated with the bowtie. So much so in fact that I have considered buying one and learing to tie it. The problem is, my office is business casual and I don't go to many formal events.
Enough rambling. Does anyone currently own or wear a bowtie other than with a tux? Just checking to see how many might feel the same way.
