Are you Prepared? Do you carry a bag with you when you go out?
I am curious to know that when you leave your house are you really prepared? Do you have everything that you need or think that you need? I know that some have their EDC (Everyday Carry) that they keep on them in their pants or coats. But my question is this do you carry them on you or do you have something that you carry them in? For me. I have two briefcases that I carry with me whenever I leave the house that I carry everything that I need with me. What do you carry?

@Anthony Buntyn Being prepared includes a lot of things. You never know what you need to be prepared for.

@Anthony Buntyn Sorry, when you say prepared I think for multiple scenarios. Especially with the world today, you never know what you will need until that situation arises. I am an Eagle Scout and take the motto "Be Prepared" very seriously and unfortunately being prepared has greatly expanded since I became an Eagle Scout in 1990.
Where do you keep your sunglasses when indoors
This question particularly applies to glasses that still have shape when folded. Since high school, I've been a fan of the "hang off the collar" approach. Tried raising on the head but they fall off too easily. My aviators are too bulky for a shirt or jacket pocket.

@Darren Poesel Agreed. Most of the time I wear a blazer and I keep them in my inside pocket. The only difference is I think a case is too bulky sometime, so I have a soft bag that is made to carry glasses that I have in that same pocket to put them in.
Advice request
Greetings gentlemen! I don't usually post pictures because there's still much i need to learn before feeling comfortable with putting together personalized outfits, but there's no way to ask for an opinion without pictures. Recently i came across this suit and i'm trying to decide whether to keep it or not. The trousers fit well, yet the jacket is a size larger for my body shape. Should i keep it and have the jacket adjusted, or should i sell it? Aside from that i would apprecaite any advice or constructive feedback that would help me learn and define my style. Thank you in advance, Gabriel.

The only thing that I would say is the bottom suit button should not be buttoned.
Politicians and their jackets.
I have noticed that when members of Congress and the president rarely button their suit jackets when they are standing. Why is that? It looks better to button the jackets when standing. What are your thoughts?

@Michael McDonnell Fun Fact along those same lines, I used to work at a CBS station and the weather people would always wear a suit during the newscast. When there was bad weather they would go on camera without there jacket to make people think that they were worked constantly when it reality, the computers were tracking everything. It is a phycological thing that tricks the brain.

@Fernando Mendoza That is definitely a factor.
Shaving after nicks
I cut myself shaving a couple of days ago and I know that you need to let them heal before shaving. I have to shave every other day but if there is a cut I can't do that since it takes more than that to heal completely. I have been using an electric razor when this happens but it doesn't give as close of a shave as I would like. Does anyone have any suggestions on anything else I can do. I also would like to know if anyone knows how to cover these up. I'm having to get my driver's license renewed in person tomorrow and don't want these wounds showing in the new photo.

@John Ahern I've been using a Safety razor for months.

@Vincent Triana Yes, I use a pre-shaving oil and I shave right after I get out of the shower for that exact reason.
