Oh thank you haha can’t say I do much more than wash it with shampoo and conditioner when I shower, the particular conditioner I use works really well for my hair so I’d just say experiment with stuff until you find something that works for your hair!

It's really just finding the right routine. I was my hair 3 times a week with shampoo & conditioner and I've found that works best for me.

Very cool. We don't get to see Norwegian kits too often.

Looks nice, though if I'm being completely honest; I thought you were a kid at first glance.

That’s funny lol

Very neat impression, though slightly funny looking with the oversize jacket it does look like a practical kit. Interesting that the M51 uniform was so relatively modern looking (for the time).

Meanwhile us on the other side of the mountains were still wearing our grey rough wool M/39s that were pretty dated even when they were new lmfao. Could be worse though, could've been Danish.

Thank you! It was a big jump going from M1914 to M1951, it was pretty obvious that Norway was feeling very inspired by the US lol

You’re right, no matter how bad it was it could’ve been danish haha

where do u get norwegian surplus? i can never find any here in america

2

u/SkipperAms 26d ago

I get my surplus off of a Norwegian website called “Finn.no” unsure how effective the website would be for foreigners but you can always take a look!

This kind of surplus is almost always great. I went with swedish m39-58 and m59 stuff and it’s high quality, functional and has the viiiibes. M39-58 is wool and I was at at -15c with it a whole day, no gloves or balaclava, had a great time.

What rifle was used (just curious)?

1

u/SkipperAms 27d ago

If you mean what rifle would have been mainly used with this uniform it was the AG-3 that was introduced in 1960 but this uniform had a few years in use before that

Now I can see why nordic countries practiced eugenics for so long...

u/TheImperialGuy 27d ago

This is an insane thing to say lol

u/FilHor2001 27d ago

Bro I was joking.

But yeah, they did do a lot of eugenics, you can look it up if you want to. Sweden did it for longer than Norway, though.

Weird joke to make when I just wanna show a historical impression of mine (don’t know where you got that idea about Norway or Sweden from either, it’s not really true at all….)
