Article: Sometimes, it's hard to tell when to change the blade in a safety razor. Pay attention to the first few strokes of your shave. If it feels like the blade is pulling on your hair, it's time to change the blade! You probably won't be able to tell by looking at the blade whether or not it's dull. Never test the the blade on your hand, you can cut yourself or damage the razor if it isn't already dull. Hold the handle in your dominant hand and use the other hand to hold the head of the razor. Then, rotate the handle to the left until the head begins to the separate from the handle or the top of the head opens up to reveal the blade, depending on the razor. There are a few different types of safety razors, and the blade comes out differently on some of them. Pay attention to the head of the razor as you're twisting the handle. Be careful not to tip the razor on its side or hold it upside-down. The razor can fall out of the head easily in those positions. Carefully using your fingers or a butter knife, lift the side of the blade to take it out of the head. Try to avoid touching the sharp edges of the blade as you remove it. When you remove the blade, you can recycle it to reduce waste! Select a new blade to replace the old one, and carefully slide it into the slot on the head. The blade will normally have words or arrows printed on it to ensure that it's facing the right direction. If you don't have a holder or cartridge for your extra blade, be very careful when handling the blade. Once the blade is in the razor, replace any parts that might cover the blade, and twist the handle the opposite direction to tighten the head. Carefully tilt the razor onto its side to ensure that the blade is secure and won't fall out of the head. Some handles will lock into place once the head is completely secure, but most will not.

Article: There's often little you can do or say that's actually useful or helpful. Words are poor comforters. In many cases, the important part is just being there. Your physical presence and time is often most appreciated in difficult times. Try to give your time. Stay with the person and let them know you're there for them and supporting them. You need not talk much, just your presence is enough, especially if the person feels there is no one for them. Usually, people tend to be afraid of crying in front of others because society judges crying as weakness. If the person starts crying in public, offer to go somewhere more private. This can help with any embarrassment they feel. Go to a bathroom, car, or empty room. Being somewhere private can help them feel safe and able to work through whatever emotions they feel. If they seem uncomfortable, ask, "Would you like to go somewhere more private?" You can take them to a bathroom stall, car, private room, anywhere, but not in a place where there will be dozens of other people. If you're still young (school or college), don't take the person to a place where you're not supposed to go like a classroom where no one is having lessons. Also make sure you can find your way out. Don't want to get in trouble! If you have a tissue or know where to get one, offer to grab one for them. Crying leads to wet faces and wet noses, and offering a tissue is a sign that you want to help. If there are no tissues nearby, offer to get one for them. You can say, "Would you like me to get you a tissue?" Sometimes, giving a tissue is a sign that you want them to stop crying immediately. Be careful how your actions may be perceived, especially when the person is very upset or dealing with death or a breakup.

Be there for them. Make sure they feel safe. Offer a tissue.
Article: Keep clear of dense vegetation or any objects that may snag or otherwise interfere with your net. Search the shallows for active shiners, or scan the surface of deeper waters for bubbles, boils, and other signs of activity just below the surface. Chum deeper waters with bread bits. Continue to chum for around 15 minutes before casting in order to attract as many shiners as possible. When casting in shallow water, use a smaller-sized net, around 5' in diameter. Throw it so that it spreads out on its own before it lands on the water. Practice your technique before using your net to fish. Multiple techniques exist, but one of the simplest is to: Coil the throw-line in your favored hand. Then, with your other hand, hold the net up, fully extended, with the weights resting on the ground. Next, clutch the net in your favored hand at waist-height. Raise your favored hand. Hold the net up as though you were showing off your bicep. With your free hand, pinch one edge of the net's weighted bottom between your thumb and index finger, picking a spot directly below your raised hand's thumb. Extend your favored arm. Hold it straight out to your side. Draw your other arm up to the center of your chest, allowing the bottom of the net to open by a quarter. Face the target area. Rotate your body backward by 90 on your favored side. Then rotate back to your original position, casting your net high as you swing through, while keeping hold of the throw-line. Allow the weights to sink in the water for a few seconds, then pull the rope tight to close the net. Be sure to close the net before the weights reach the water's bed. Avoid tangling the net in objects resting on the bottom. Haul the net in by its rope, hand-over-fist. Once you hoist your catch out of the water, open the net and transfer the fish to storage. Move quickly to keep your catch as healthy as possible.
