Are you applying to work for petulant teenagers?

They've moved on to specific platforms, not open standards. Ultimately, that's not a good thing. Like when Twitter effectively replaced RSS for a lot of use cases.

except Sci-hub hasn't been adding new papers since 2020. Anna's Archive is a better bet, because they aggregate both sci-hub and libgen, among others. They also make torrents available for data hoarders.

I got a can of chicken broth, knocked a slot into the top with a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, poured out the stock and rinsed and dried the can. It lives in the cabinet beneath my sink and I drop my blades in it when I'm done with them. That was about 10 years ago. The thing is maybe a third full.

Nah. It takes a little more awareness while you're shaving for sure, but you're rarely if ever going to cut yourself once you get your gear and technique dialed in. For me, I had to find the right blade. I found Feather brand blades, which a lot of people recommend, didn't work well with my skin, but Astra blades are great for me. Everyone's a little different.

My Merkur 23C has served me well for 13 years. Recently the threaded screw broke off and I had to get a replacement head. But it was very reasonable. I have been curious about the Hensons, but have tended to stick with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy. People really seem to like them though. Do you have the light, medium, or aggressive?

bobo ,

I couldn't resist. I went ahead and bought that AL13 aggressive after reading and watching a bunch of reviews. It's great. It holds the blade more firmly than the Merkur and shaves really smoothly without pulling. I would like it if it were a bit heavier, but it still feels good in my hand. Thank you for the recommendation.
