If he wasn't wearing trousers, his shirt wouldn't be gathering at his chest as it is here. Besides, his wife films these and I doubt he'd ever be so indecent.
The shirt collar and belt trick is good. I've used that one before. You save space AND keep your shirt crisp. Be careful with that razor on the jean tricks. A lot of new blades have moisture strips that will get all over your pants. #33 is good, you can also just drink the bourbon instead of gargling. Drink enough and you won't feel the sore throat or any other feelings for that matter.
Came here accidentally, but gonna stay and watch every video you have ever produced. Subscribed and gonna tell every close friend to check your channel out. Besides from some mic problem, your content, body language, your voice, your smile and your confidence all went well. Thanks and please produce more.
Thank you! When my brother came back from the Marine Corps, he introduced me to powers of windex on his patent leather parade shoes; however, he first wiped them down with pledge before using the windex. I’m glad you mentioned it here.
At least you're not watching something you wouldn't want your mother to see, while you have something else in your hand that you really wouldn't want her to see. Things can "always" be worse.
I don’t know if it’s something gentlemen do, but I learned how to sew a long time ago and find it very handy to carry a mini emergency sewing kit in my purse almost at all times. That way no matter what I can usually repair something last minute by hand if necessary. I know most can’t take this on a plane but for day to day it’s incredibly useful.
Or, you could just open it with the inside of the opening of an already opened bottle?! Needs a little practice and some feeling in your fingers, but works just fine after, say, the second or third try.
To get a perfect dimple in your tie, use this safety pin life hack. After you put on your tie, pull the wide part of the tie about an inch above the knot. Use your fingers to squeeze the section of the tie that you just pulled to create a vertical fold along the middle. While holding that fold, use your other hand to put a mini safety pin on the underside to keep the fold in place. At this point you can let go and tighten your tie at usual. The safety pin will be hidden inside the tie knot and your tie will have a perfect dimple.
My friend swears by the neck pants technique. I saw her do it once and thougt she was trying to mess with me. Then my mom stepped in and said, it really works, so I tried it, and it works. Incredible
another shoe hack - if you're short on shoe rack space, turn one show backwards (toe pointing out but still right way up) depending on your foot width you can fit an extra 20% (so a length of space that takes 5 shoes can now take 6 shoes - for my shoe rack which is three rows high that means instead of 15 shoes/boots it now fits 18 shoes/boots)
Listening in the car with my kids and my 9 year old says "this has nothing to do with being a gentleman. This is just about how to dress nice." I asked him what he meant and he says "being a gentleman is like holding doors for girls or being nice to dogs or being polite to old people. Lots of people are gentlemen even if they don't dress nice." Proud father moment. I don't care how a man dresses. I care how he treats others, that he's honest, that he respects and defends things worth respecting. Buy all the fountain pens and cuff links you want. Money can't buy class.
The word Gentleman directly comes from Gentry as in the upper class Lords of manors. The understanding now in the colloquial sense is to be a nice guy. That is wrong. Gentlemen=super wealthy land owners
Meh. We (Americans) have taken this idea to the extreme. To each their own but I’m kinda sick of seeing men dressed like boys at nice restaurants in sweats and ball caps.
One life hack I like to use: If you need to polish silver and don't have tarnish remover, toothpaste and an old toothbrush works almost as well. Just make sure to brush thoroughly and do the process two or three times if needed.
Sorry to tell you sir, but if you dont want your shining shoes to get matte, dont put windex on it. Also never use windex on your glasses (except glasses made of glas) if you dont want to get the same matte look. Windex is way to aggressive, Use microfiber towels with water instead
Just a sad note on the lemon juice for swear stains tip - this might work for some people, but others will never be able to get stains out unfortunately. It has to do with body chemistry, my parents run a dry cleaner and they occasionally have to tell people that they'll just have to buy new shirts or dresses, or wear different colours, because their body chemistry just stains certain white fabrics irrevocably.
Some might say this is nitpicking but it isn't, salt does not make ice colder. It chemically forces a change in the state of matter from solid to liquid and that requires a large amount of energy. This energy comes from warm beer or soda that you put into it, cooling it rapidly.
In life hack #33 at 9:49, the word "gurgle" is used to describe how to get rid of a sore throat. More correct is gargle, which is the action made by swishing the liquid in the back of the throat. Gurgle, on the other hand, is more about the sound made than the action taken.
Love the channel great tips but I have to disagree with #33. Unless the ethanol is 70% or more and mixed with a bit of water it won't kill bacteria. It has to be at least 70% ethanol and it has to have water since the alcohols drive water into the bacterium to burst it open that's how it destroys it. Ethanol also denatures the proteins of the bacterium (like cooking an egg, denaturing it is when it turns white).
I would add that to avoid getting holes in dress socks, where them to parties, meetings, etc. and wear dark athletic socks for when you have to walk around a lot in your suit.
Gentleman's Gazette How are most people to know that you're wearing them? If a Nike sock is dark enough, no one will see. Are there sock inspectors in your department?
Not Totally Unfunny unfortunately a sports sock sticks out like a saw thumb just as does the wrong shoe for a suit or the wrong colour tie Bad etiquette gets noticed long before good etiquette Which has to be said is a poor reflection on society
Dear Raphael, could you do a video on (or include in a life hack video) buttoning double breasted coats and overcoats quickly. Any tips or techniques on a greater sleight of hand when buttoning that anchor button would be appreciated! Thank you.
I tried the method of the pants around my neck and had pants that were 10 cm too big in diameter. You have to be a special body type that this hack works.
ALPHA M? Sorry but I have a hard time listening to a 40 something still wearing earrings that screams and yells while trying to tell me how I should look and act.
Hui, you should be carefull about the hairstraightener. Make shure they are completely clean before you use them, especially at the edges, because they might be greesy from some styling-products that are not visible on first sight. And once you burn those into your clothes, you will have a problem getting these stains off again!
The best way prevent urine from splashing back at you while using the urinal is to aim directly into the drain. It gives the urine a place to go and what does splash, splashes up, instead of back at you. If you're urinating against a wall, you won't stand as close as you can to it and then forcefully urinate perpendicularly into the wall. You'd get close to the wall, and the aim downwards toward the ground. The same applies to using a urinal, which is basically just a civilized piss wall.

what was it
Yeah let us know
I absolutely love how he matched his suit and the colors. This is definitely how I want to dress as I learn my own style
Tip.. Acorn cap make a good helmet for a field mouse
Now that is a bloody good idea. I like your thinking. Then Mr Mouse is ready for when things get heavy down in the field
And a chestnut husk makes a more intimidating helmet for the opposing army.
Best Comment Award for 2019 🏆
And to think I paid for an education.
No way he was wearing pants during this one
Life hack #36, if viewed only from your chest up, forget pants!
If he wasn't wearing trousers, his shirt wouldn't be gathering at his chest as it is here.
Besides, his wife films these and I doubt he'd ever be so indecent.
Carl Trotter why he would be ashamed of your own wife? every night mine sees my dude so i don’t need to be ashamed of anything with my wife
@@carltrotter7622I'm sure his wife has seen more before.

My goodness you look so sharp. Well done.
Very nice video.
Thank you for educating people for free.
That pants hack around the neck is great...It even let's you know which pants to take to the dressing room!
I used shoe polish on my window. Bad idea.
Mike Roberti what did it do
@@conservative.republicans.u7677 shiny window
Why am I watching this I'm 15
xApple Gaming Backup better to learn now
At least you're not watching something you wouldn't want your mother to see, while you have something else in your hand that you really wouldn't want her to see. Things can "always" be worse.
19, but same point.
18, and I can tell you that its never too early to learn how to be a gentleman.
Because every guy has a gentleman inside :-)
I don’t know if it’s something gentlemen do, but I learned how to sew a long time ago and find it very handy to carry a mini emergency sewing kit in my purse almost at all times. That way no matter what I can usually repair something last minute by hand if necessary. I know most can’t take this on a plane but for day to day it’s incredibly useful.
The last beer goes unopened rip
Or you can open it with a lighter.
Or, you could just open it with the inside of the opening of an already opened bottle?! Needs a little practice and some feeling in your fingers, but works just fine after, say, the second or third try.
You'll be drunk enough by then to use your teeth :D
I used to use my cellphone back in the day (pre smartphone nokia)
Use a Spoon or Fork
I remove wrinkles from a dress shirt by putting the shirt into my dryer with a damp, clean wash cloth. Works like a charm.
To get a perfect dimple in your tie, use this safety pin life hack. After you put on your tie, pull the wide part of the tie about an inch above the knot.

Thanks... For sharing valuable life hacks ideas with us. I m a great fond of your communication accent. It's lovely!
Wow great channel! A lot of information that is actually useful. Thanks!
Wow, I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Kudos.
I love this channel.
I just found your channel about a week ago and I really enjoy your videos.
i can't believe I'm learning hangover tricks from Raphael!
(thanks!)
Love this dude's parlance.
Your videos are marvelous.
To Keep your tabacco humid it's best to use a carrot, they used to sell it with tabacco in the olden days.
Wouldn't that affect the flavour?
I don't understand why this video has 450 dislikes. This is great stuff!
It's quite vulgar. Aimed at americans ;)) Joking
Maybe cause this guy is a time traveller..
black current
He’s from the *future*
Fantastic! Thank you

Jolly useful. One to watch a few times me thinks.
dude ur so optimistic its amazing u have just earned a sub

Character, class, etiquette, manners, fashion, etc are all elements of a proper gentleman.
I think your son meant ‘holding doors for EVERYONE.’
The word Gentleman directly comes from Gentry as in the upper class Lords of manors. The understanding now in the colloquial sense is to be a nice guy. That is wrong. Gentlemen=super wealthy land owners
Nothing wrong with added elegance though
Meh. We (Americans) have taken this idea to the extreme. To each their own but I’m kinda sick of seeing men dressed like boys at nice restaurants in sweats and ball caps.
Amazing, simply amazing! Thank you kindly.
No worries!
I never leave home without a piece of stale bread in my pocket
I just watch his videos for his smile 😂
Great video!
Only the audio is somehow messy.
Thank God, I thought that was my headphones.
love the paperclip collar stay idea!
This is the video that made me subscribe
Wonderful!
Terrific advice
WONDERFUL!!!! THANK UUUU!!
Use Pledge on patent leather shoes. Marine corps trick.
njaneardude is right with that one. I learned that same trick from a Tux shop I worked for. works incredibly well.
Sure, you can use pledge to clean and keep dust free, but if you want to see your reflection, use Black Magic tire shine.
Endust works too
Useful and practical. Thanks.
This video was amazing! I should of watched it immediately. I'll never use a lint roller again.
Very informative, right? By the way, the phrase is "should have" rather than "should of".
Most say "should've" which sounds like "should of" which is why many misspell it.
Awesome! Thank you very much sir!!!
Thank you.
You would not believe the hacks I could give you. I found this week at best.
One life hack I like to use: If you need to polish silver and don't have tarnish remover, toothpaste and an old toothbrush works almost as well. Just make sure to brush thoroughly and do the process two or three times if needed.
I can't personally verify if this works on other metals, but it may be worth a try.
Amazing 😍
Great videos! Keep 'em coming Raphael.
Thank you, we definitely will!
Great video
Awesome info. Thank you!!
an exelent video indeed thanks a lot !
Sorry to tell you sir, but if you dont want your shining shoes to get matte, dont put windex on it.
Also never use windex on your glasses (except glasses made of glas) if you dont want to get the same matte look.
Windex is way to aggressive,

I have had a chance to use the paperclip hack whenever I go outside without my Collar Stays, works just as well! Thanks for the video!

The collar stay hack impressed me.

Just brilliant,!👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
That bottle opening trick is awesome! Haha!
I have no idea why I'm watching this.... But I like it
It's like MacGyver but better dressed. Great vid
excellent video

You could use some more bass in your audio my friend, maybe some reverb.
please don't make this worse. He should just invest in a decent mic.
Rick Sander perhaps some autotune and subtle delay?
Reverb? Xddd
Classy!
This is great info. You can definitely teach an old dog new tricks!
A gentleman drinking beer directly from the bottle. I say!
4:05 Cracking open a cold one with the boys
You should use lemon juice honey and whiskey in equal parts if you wanna ease a sore throat, triple whammy
This dude looks like he'll do some crazy shit if you were to fuck with him.
you deserve a like just for the Alaskan Amber beer.
7:54 This is some 5-Minutes Crafts God tier idea
This guy is classy as fuck!
Jonathan Hernandez Fuck yeah, classy...

Drip drop is also used by the military to keep service members hydrated in the field during a hot day.
25 was unexpected but essential.
only one I knew beforehand was the hack with opening beers. I guess urban-survival is always at the top of ones priorities :)
I would add that to avoid getting holes in dress socks, where them to parties, meetings, etc. and wear dark athletic socks for when you have to walk around a lot in your suit.
Just invest in good dress socks instead. Wearing athletic socks with a suit looks just bad.

Not Totally Unfunny unfortunately a sports sock sticks out like a saw thumb just as does the wrong shoe for a suit or the wrong colour tie
Bad etiquette gets noticed long before good etiquette
Which has to be said is a poor reflection on society
I learned the one with the windex when I was in the service.
Dear Raphael, could you do a video on (or include in a life hack video) buttoning double breasted coats and overcoats quickly. Any tips or techniques on a greater sleight of hand when buttoning that anchor button would be appreciated!
Thank you.
We can add that to our to-do list ;)
I feel like his nostrils are talking to me

This is the kinda nerdy ALPHA M
This is better because he doesn't scream as alpha M. does constantly.
Alpha M is the exact opposite of a modest gentleman.
ALPHA M? Sorry but I have a hard time listening to a 40 something still wearing earrings that screams and yells while trying to tell me how I should look and act.
Wow. I feel like present-day Raphael would never suggest throwing a dress shirt in the dryer 😂
that Windex trick is back as long as I can remember 1993 jr high school..

5:50 so that's how it's called! I lost mine and couldn't buy new ones because I didn't know what to ask for.
ok thanks
Great video, but something's wrong with the audio.
hmm, I don't think so.
It sounds a bit robotic, I guess too much noise reduction.
yeah something is different in the audio than your other vids
I didn't know so many things that you can use with any house items, wow...
Hey question, will the windex ruin your shoes? Like is it a temporary fix or can I use it multiple times? Thanks
Only use it once if you don't have anything else, but do not use it over and over again. Otherwise the leather will suffer.
+Gentleman's Gazette ok got it thanks
Love the diaper idea!!
why i m watching this i am a 21 year old girl
23 now
Happy birthday twice :)
Now you're a 30 year old man
Happy double birthday
You will be a man soon
