Over the previous couple of years, a bona fide cottage business has sprung up to trace each menswear-adjacent transfer Jeremy Allen White makes. This probably isn’t information to you: we’re proud repeat offenders within the house. Regardless of how a lot the web loves his Michelin-caliber alter ego, although, White is just not his character—shared penchant for extraordinarily sick jackets apart.
So think about our delight when a video emerged this week of White remodeling himself into Carmy, swapping out his actual tattoos for these custom-designed for his on-screen persona. Earlier than make-up maestro Ignacia Soto-Aguilar utilized Carmy’s private ink, White shaved his arms utilizing a nifty system all-too-familiar to GQ readers: the Philips Norelco OneBlade 360, one in every of our favourite electrical shavers…ever. Watch White carelessly tidy his forearms for a second and it’s simple to see why—as he buzzed, Soto-Aguilar didn’t should intervene as soon as.

I’ve been utilizing the OneBlade for effectively over a yr now, and acknowledged its telltale design right away. In my expertise, it’s excellent for fine-tuning clear edges, and equally adept at chopping by way of stubble. It’s wi-fi, moveable, versatile, reasonably priced, and feels an entire lot like a cartridge razor, even because it operates on damn-near autopilot. The adjustable head bends to the curves of your face (or, uh, forearms), whereas its replaceable blades keep sharp sufficient to chop by way of any size of hair—or form any beard model—for months longer than I anticipated. Higher but, the OneBlade lets you understand precisely when its blades have to be swapped out: as soon as the grid sample printed on its face begins to fade, it’s time for a substitute.
There’s a motive the OneBlade stays GQ’s prime choose within the hybrid shaver-trimmer enviornment: as White’s relaxed vitality within the video proves, it someway supplies an eerily shut shave with out catalyzing any nicks, cuts, or undue irritation. I didn’t hear a single criticism from White’s make-up crew—or spot any blood to wipe away. I am certain he did a bang-up job, however I’ve obtained a nagging suspicion the chef’s device, because it had been, did a lot of the prep work.
On the finish of the video, Jeremy Allen White’s physique is roofed in brand-new ink: Chicago’s space code, 773; a snail with “Dwell Quick” written beneath it; a gnarly kitchen mishap; and “SOU” (or Sense of Urgency) written throughout the pointer, center, and ring finger of his left hand, an homage to chef Thomas Keller’s well-known kitchen creed. All made potential by a $40 gadget that stands able to tame each your stubble and abdomen hair with minimal effort. If solely Carmy might kind out his personal issues so simply.
