Girly Man
i don’t spend alot of time primping, but i do spend a little time taking care of one grooming problem - my shnoz. i’m half spanish, half jewish, and all nose. and like most people with larger noses, i have pores that could make nice homes for small insects.
so once a week or so i do something about. that something used to be biore pore strips. my secret was to go to the japanese markets. in japan biore sells men’s pore strips. there’s two difference, the first is they’re black. the second is biore claims the sticky part is much stickier on the men’s ones. not only are they cooler and stronger, but they’re about 1/3 the price that they are in american pharmacies. i wish i knew why.
anyhow i was all out so i went to uwajimaya but they didn’t have any. the only nose pore cleaner they had was by a different company - dariya. they did however have these full face michael meyers mask looking things from biore that were just too freaky to buy. anyhow i bought the dariya ones, which has some vague japanese instructions showing a tube of some cream. i figured it was some medicated cream and a strip. instead it is a medicated cream (smells like an old acne medication i used to use in college) and specially fomulated medical latex.
that’s right the wacky japanese have done it again, turning a substance normally reserved for sexual fetish shops into something totally acceptable for use by vanilla civilians. the deal is you spread the medicine on your face, and then spread the latex over it, let it all dry, peel it away and viola. no more nasty shit in your pores. and you know what? it works. in fact it kicks the crap out of the biore strips. it makes my nose all smooth and clean so you might not actually notice how huge it is.
