Nothing beats a straight razor shave, but (imo) you need an actual straight blade, not those replaceable ones. The replaceable ones are just a longer version of the safety razor. They'll still do a great job, don't get me wrong. But an actual straight razor shave, once you get the hang of it, holy cow.

I've been shaving with a safety razor and a straight razor for well over 20 years at this point. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for others, and our skin/hair is all of different needs and consistency. So grain of salt here.

When you start using a safety razor it takes both practice, and time for your skin and routines to start to adapt. It goes pretty quickly, and you'll find your shaves get better and better every time for the next month or so. I shave usually 3 times a week, sometimes more depending on what's going on, and I use my safety razor probably 95% of the time. I don't disinfect it or really do much of anything to it, it's very unlike the straight razor (which is an entire production - it's a rewarding shave but it's slow and you have to do some work to your blade pre/post shave). I also am lucky enough to have facial hair thats pretty soft, so I can go a month to a month and a half without changing the blade, depending on what brand of blades I'm using. I do find the feather blades to be better than most, but I also have had decent enough luck with Derby blades, and they are much cheaper. Find what works for you, try to get your hands on a few different manufacturers and try them all out as they all have some differences.

Get a stand, and get a brush. I prefer shaving soap, but good soap or creme is a must. While you are showering, soak your brush in a bowl with warmer (but not scalding hot) water. Be generous with the shaving creme, make a big ol mess, and learn to enjoy the process. Biggest tip, is to not apply any force at first. Let the weight of the razor do the work (that's why it's so heavy). Also just do two with the grain passes at first, until your skin adapts, and it will quickly. I do a first past with the grain, second rep is against the grain, third is again with the grain. That's what works for me.

That's not what an incel is junior

That sort of wet clay is shit on any sort of tires though. Like even aggressive soft hard Enduro tires, the minute that stuff clumps and sticks into the treads, your tires are gonna suck. That stuff is awful shit to ride in.

Yeah except it's all fun and games until someone gets hungry and needs to eat. There, the problem begins all over again.

It's actually what's keeping this whole AI bubble propped up. And what's making it get more bubbly. I'll extend you hardware on margin but only if it's my hardware and I'll just keep doing that over and over until the musical chairs stop. You buy hardware that you don't pay for and I sell it to you for imaginary money and the investors reward us for that with money thats mostly debt and that's what keeps people dancing around and around and around...

It's almost like if everyone would quit blowing their load over every game reveal and preordering themselves into oblivion and quit chasing shiny new things all the time and hoarding....well it's almost like the old trad rules of supply and demand would almost, dare I say, kick in?

Alas.

We've had ours for about 2.5 years now. We love it, it's really enjoyable to drive. I love the simplicity of them the most. I just got a new truck too, and I wish I could have got an EV that would have worked size wise and price wise. It runs on dead dinosaurs and feels like one.

Can you please just stop? No one's a victim here.

You took like a tiny morsel of something, and just cranked it to 11. Please remove me from whatever timeline you are on, trust me we have zero in common. Our paths never need to cross again. I dont like the serially traumatized.

You do realize it's probably some reused script from somewhere. This whole freshwater thing is also an exaggeration. This whole AI delusion is just that, a delusion. It's a bunch of hype and salesperson bullshit. It won't get to the point where we lose all of our freshwater, this bitch is about to blow from a bubble perspective. Then it'll just be on to the next shiny toy, from an investor standpoint. Watch this next part!

I just don't use it. I also don't like many other things, but I don't get borderline psychotic over it. Holy fuck is this sub hysterical. I'm quite anti AI myself, but this is something else
