Cartridge razors and shaving cream are a scam, a safety razor and gentle soap in the shower do just as good of a job way cheaper.
Old tools (incl kitchen equipment) are usually better than modern ones.
Never buy an HP printer, even if someone gives it to you. You will end up paying more in wasted time and expensive cartridges.
Be proactive with cancer screenings, esp if there's family history, many cancers aren't able to be reduced to non-detectable levels after the metastasize.
I havent shaved my face in ten years or so now but you’re absolutely right. A single blade, safety razor is head and shoulders above a multibladed monstrosity. Shaving cream i think depends on skin sensitivity. When i shaved i had to use stuff by aveeno because everything else made my face break out in rashes and get scabbed everywhere.
You ain’t kidding. This year ive had 3 spots of skin cancer removed, and i have serial endoscopic procedures done 3x yearly due to my risk of esophageal cancer. Ive had some bad news this year but every single thing so far has been ‘fixable’ because it was caught early.
