Thread: Bow ties

I wear one every now and again.
Not too difficult to tie, it is actually the same knot as a shoelace, just a bit awkward doing it in the mirror the first couple of times, in that respect a bit like shaving with a straight razor.

You can learn to tie them. Here's a tip: make sure your hands are clean and moisturized first. A "raspy" dry hand scrapes a the bow tie, fuzzying up the surfaces and detracting from that clean, bow-tie look.

Bonus fact: a bow tie never slops into the sink when you wash hands or brush teeth.

I must admit I have never tried to pull off a bow tie, although I used to wear one as part of a uniform it was far from classy.
