I don't mean to unnecessarily gender this discussion. Gender here doesn't matter. But I'm going to use gendered words as they fit the context. I want everyone's opinion.

My dad died from bronchial cancer two days before my 12th birthday. I had to learn how to be a 'man' from my ill mother.

What I want to know is, if you had to import some wisdom to preteen me, about the fundamentals of life, what would it be?

I've barely learned to shave (and prefer a beard anyway). What can you teach me Hexbear?

I'm 32 by the way. I'm just curious.

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.

be proactive with cancer screenings.

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.
