New to snuff and I’m creeping into it slowly. Anyway, one problem I have is not wanting to show signs of snuffing since I have a job with public interaction. I always get a bit of snuff about the edges of my nostrils no matter how careful I am. It is a bit unsightly. I find myself heading for the restroom to double check my nose for problems. I was thinking about getting one of those sliding top boxes for my snuff and wondered if anyone had seen them with a mirror attached. I guess kinda like a woman’s “compact”, if they are still called that.
I would try not to carry a mirror, the ones sold for “snuff” today are just made for drugs and using snuff to be legit. Just get a tin of Poschl President.
Well, I was intending to try the Poschl. But just for the snuff itself, not the shiny box. Besides the Poschl box is plastic so I reckon the mirror effect wouldn’t last too long before getting scratched up. I suppose I could be creative and get the wooden box, then attach a small mirror to the backside of it.
I suppose a woman’s compact would work well, just try to stay away from the “snuff” sets they sell at head shops.
wipe your nose after snuffing. use a soft hankie.
I just dust with a kerchief and have never had any leftovers-(with a dryer snuff). I work around folks too. They get used to it.
I ALWAYS, always have a little mirror in my shirt pocket when I go to town.
Using a spoon is a pretty safe way to keep the nostrils clear - except for the drip of course. I just dust off after each pinch and so far haven’t garnered any unwanted notice from coworkers. Except for the drip, of course. In which case I keep a hanky close by to mop up regularly.
It used to be easier to find a pocket mirror suitable for a gentleman. Some upscale department stores may still carry them. I carry a folding hairbrush with a small mirror set in the handle. It was a promotional item one of the local banks was giving away.
I find a bullet works nicely in these situations. I usually slip into the restroom and use it, and then look in the mirror.
if you need a mirror, buy a tin of “PURE” mints. I bought them at Wal-Mart.
All I do is scrub my nose with my fingers you know like when you have an itch. Problem solved
I also carry a small pocket mirror in my shirt pocket with my backup hanky. Its handy. It has a little slipcase, and yes these are usually available with gentelman’s accessories in department stores, etc. I bought a cheap “snuffbox” on ebay that had a mirror on the inside of the lid, but I think its really a makeup case. Snuff gets all over the mirror and makes it useless. If the mirror was on the outside like you suggest, that might be functional.
Some good comments here. I didn’t realize snuffhouse would be such an active forum. As to the mirror deal, I will get one of those sliding wooden boxes and carve an appropriate hollow into the backside of it. Then mount a mirror with epoxy into the groove so it is flush. I bet I can make it look pretty good. Seems simple enough. Will post a pic when I’m done.
The front of my cellphone makes for a good ad hoc mirror too…
I just use the Toque snuff bottle.
I carry a rabbit’s foot and normally just ask the humans I am with to direct me.
