An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Shopping for new blades for my old razor I realized that the gel used on the blades could not be vegan. I didn't want to check online if they were vegan and as I realized that the blades for my old razor cost about the same as a saftey razor + 5 blades, I bought the safety razor.

Like it so far, was a little concerened to cut myself but slow and steady wins the raze (haha, get it...?) It leaves a tiny, tiny stubble, but maybe that is just me getting used to the new razor. What I like is that it is much easier to clean, since you can remove the blade and rinse it off or even disinfect it. Should I disinfect my blade? Dullsters on the internet, what is your wisdom?

Do not shave down there! It's warm and moist almost all the time. Use an electric trimmer. Much safer.

May I ask why the warmth/moisture is an issue when shaving the privates? As a woman I think we shave that quite a lot with cartridge razors opposed to electric trimmers and so far so fine. Or you get waxxed, but that's besides the point xD

It gives nicks which are more likely to become infected in a warm and humid environment. And while women likely have more experience, I still don't think y'all should shave either. Idk about waxing though cause my only experience with it involves my ear.
