I think people who buy DE/SE razors often just like to partake in the accessories because they're selected from people who care enough in the first place to move beyond the cartridge razor. You certainly don't need brushes and nice lathers to use a DE. No more than you need them with a cartridge razor.

I have sensitive skin and a fresh DE blade cuts better with just water than a cartridge razor because it's sharper.

But before I got a DE razor, as an outsider, I also assumed you needed to take shaving seriously and be an accessories guy to use one, and thankfully it's just not true.
(Relatively) Low rates of foreign immigration despite ageing population, strong central goverment with the intention of weakening external and internal influences (See Uyghurs / western chinese territories for an example of internal influences, for external influences the great firewall is an obvious one, but there are many others), and third a general ethno-nationalist mentality from many, but not all Han chinese, encouraged by the central state and the general culture.
That number seems incredibly high to me. The most I've seen blades go for in any kind of volume is around $0.20/blade. Even if you were discarding them every day, that would only account for $70/year. You can admittedly buy some rather nice shave soap, but $180/year still seems aggressive.

I admittedly don't shave every day, but I've been using a safety razor since 2013. I went back and tallied up all of the purchases for materials, including my razor, and I believe I've spent a little over $200 for that entire period, so maybe $25/year.
Believe it or not, some men like the look and feel of a close shave. And for many, saving money is not a number one priority when getting a hair cut.

eBay can be kinda rough thanks to every idiot thinking that old means tons of money. I mostly use eBay to hunt for less common machines or non-home/consumer stuff.

If you’re in any retrocomputing communities, people there often sell some stuff at good prices. Otherwise Facebook/Craigslist marketplace tend to be better to haggle people down. Additionally a lot of the people in these groups have connections with recycling centers and such.

Condition is going be varied, usually the seller will provide some information at to their condition but it can be a crapshoot. FWIW I had a long streak of buying working machines but the last 5 or so retrocomputers arrived not working. Keep in mind sellers will often describe things as not working, where in reality they just have no clue how to use it. As long as cosmetic damage isn’t too bad though, 8-bits are pretty simple to repair yourself.

Finally an HN discussion on something I have a decent experience in!

> Cast iron also has multiple issues when used with induction ranges, which are by far the most efficient/environmental cookers.

This is the first I’m hearing of this. My understanding is that pans only need to be magnetic to work with induction, in which case cast iron are prime candidates for induction.
It's not even a couple of hours, that's the best part. There are direct trains (ICE/TGV) that take around two hours, some even a bit less. The flight can't possibly be faster if you factor in getting to the airport and going through the security theater. Which, if we want to talk about beliefs is another ridiculous policy that hasn't demonstrably saved any lives. Instead now people simply get shot up in theaters and run over at Christmas markets. But thank god they're taking everyone's lighter and water bottle.

I wonder if part of the reason they're flying is that they don't want to be in public transport with the plebeians.

Insulting, dismissive, rude.

After someone said they'd been working on improving performance for 2 years and engaging in good faith with many detailed replies, someone who said they were dependent on changes in the OS which they couldn't make; to then insinuate that they just "weren't inclined" to make improvements is rude.

Closing a bug report about performance which affects all users, an issue with many detailed comments from many people, because he's taken offense? And at something which was far less rude than the things he said to them in the same discussion? Prima-donna bullshit.
> It’s very common to hear blood and soil rhetoric wrt black people or Native Americans, but it’s called progressive and liberal but not xenophobic for some reasons.

I believe it is called progressive and liberal because African Americans and Native Americans have historically been enslaved or (nearly) exterminated by Europeans in North America.

I think this is exactly what EA is trying to say! Think about what you want, examine it, and if you still want to donate to a pet shelter, then great, go do that. Or, if examining it makes you want to give to some other cause, do that instead. Either way, the point is to think about it, as opposed to just mindlessly giving to whatever cause has the slickest brochures or ads on TV with celebrities.

Sure, learning how to sharpen is non-negligible. Like most skills it takes time to gain proficiency at first and pays off later.

I only have to sharpen my straight razor maybe twice a year at most.

Kitchen knives depends on use but a typical sharpening is 15 minutes maybe? I might do this 3 - 4 times a year.

I do woodworking with hand tools which need to be sharpened far more often and that is fairly time consuming... but so is making wood projects from hand tools. I consider it part of the process.

If we get to fully economic decision making the case can be made to prefer convenience over all else because of paperclip maximization. Instead of buying organic clothes made by hand and spending the time to maintain and repair them we prefer fast-fashion. It's cheaper in time and money to simply buy a brand new shirt. Along with the many other benefits it entails.

But that has a cost too, doesn't it? Landfills chock full of disposed-of clothes, beaches covered in cables of clothes that have washed up on shore, and they're mostly made of oil-based products and will take centuries to degrade. People with families and children literally starving and wrecking their bodies in sweat shops to produce these throw-away, convenient, cheap clothes.

Some times taking time to do things the slow, inconvenient way has a lot of benefits too that are not immediately obvious until we take a step back and stop trying to be in such a rush.
ymmv. its interesting reading everyones different techniques and experiences here. I've never felt I had to do two passes with a 3 blade. I let them get dull too before they are swapped out, although these 3 blades are for sensitive skin so they are nicer than your standard mach3. I'm probably paying less than you for blades a year though. I can't remember when I bought the huge $35 pack I have.
That'a fair, I believe it. I've tried it and do like it.

But the marginal gain in closeness I get from a wet shave versus the method mentioned above, when paired with cost, razor burn / irritation / breakouts, and cuts, doesn't seem worth it to me.
I caught a similar bug about a year or so ago, I bought a replica instead https://retrogames.biz/products/thec64/ and it satisfied my retro computing interest even though it wasn't original hardware.

If you do go down this path, note that retrogames has 2 similar products, the c64 (mini) and the c64 (maxi), the maxi is probably the best one to go with since it has a working keyboard.
If you keep a piece of old denim or cotton fabric around, you can keep resharpening the cheap cartridge razors for an extremely long time. I can basically keep using them until the plastic parts start to fall off. A pack of cartridge razors can easily last me more than a year when I do this.

Yeah but there's also no need to include jQuery and bog down your site with piles of code you won't ever call just because you don't know how to use the native api like a normal person. React/Angular/whatever are just the latest fad of that mindset, big team corporate ease of use aside.

I've played a lot of AI Dungeon and this is one of my main issues. You need to constantly correct the AI or retry the latest action (that there are big easily accessible buttons for such actions is itself telling).

One of the best sessions I had was a fairly epic story about a god of shadows whose unruly shadow monsters were attacking all humans. The god himself wanted them stopped and sought my (a powerful mage) help. We needed to make our way to his lair where a powerful ritual could destroy him and banish all his minions.

After an epic tale the plan succeeds, the god is destroyed, his shadows disperse. As the dust settles the god congratulates me but reminds me that I must make haste for the god of shadows has sent his monsters to attack all humans and he must be stopped...

> don't want foreigners at all and not because of health concerns.

Well, the sentiment is that foreigners = don’t wear mask. And don’t wear mask = health concerns.

Japanese people will be caught with masks in a middle of the forest with no one around for miles. Most of the Japanese population is vaccinated now, but the vast majority of people don’t wear masks, whereas an order of magnitude more of foreigners disproportionately do not wear masks.

Let’s not forget the whole fiasco with Singapore’s TraceTogether app for contact tracing during the pandemic. The actual implementation of it differs significantly from the white paper they open-sourced. The actual app does not anonymize the data and the government has access to everyone’s location and interaction data. Initially, their privacy policy promised the data would only be used for tracking of the spread of COVID but it was later revealed by the parliament that the police had in fact accessed the data for investigation purposes. There is no constitutional right to privacy in Singapore so they did not actually break any laws so it was mostly an “oops, too bad, we didn’t do anything ‘wrong’” moment for them.

I use a Merker safety razor with feather blades too. Definitely recommend not just for the shave, but for the value.
This makes sense to me.

The shortest commercial flight I ever took was from HOU to IAH†, a flight distance of 24mi/39km. I was surprised how long it took. At first I thought it was because of traffic, but a member of the flight crew told me, "We go low and slow."

†This was back when Continental was all mad about the parking situation at IAH, and so if you had an outbound flight from IAH, it would let you park for free at HOU and then add on a free HOU→IAH segment. At the time, you used to get 500 frequent flyer miles just for getting into the air, so it was an option I exercised as often as I could.

These same people want to take away affordable heating from their constituents including the poor in the name of the "climate emergency". Yet, they can take a plane (that pumps huge amounts of CO2 directly into the sky) twice a week for the distance some people commute by ground _everyday_ for work. Then they only work for two days a week. I've never seen a more disgusting display of elitism.
Repeatedly leaning on bullying undermines any other points you try to make.

> Cannabis is involved in approximately 50% of psychosis, schizophrenia, and schizophreniform psychosis cases. Thats significant, wouldn't you say?

Absolutely not. Alcohol is involved in 60% of the snake bites in the US. It’s easy to see the causal link. But that isn’t a reason to avoid alcohol or that alcohol puts you at a significant risk of being bitten by a snake. And that’s because alcohol consumption is common and snake bites are rare. Similarly, cannabis consumption is common and the conditions you list are rare. Even if there is a causal link there, and that’s a big if, that’s not a reason to avoid cannabis. There’s no reason to assume or even worry about being in the sub-1% group.
> The general failure of anti-immigration parties to win majorities in European countries suggests that most people are either pro-immigration or at least willing to accept it.

But again, that ties back to the demonization of being against immigration. Is it _really_ reflective of true popular support if you’re going to be labeled a racist if you don’t vote the right way?

I use one of those Philips rotary electric shavers and while it doesn't get nearly as close it also lets me get hundreds or more shaves before I finally give in and get a new set of blades. I even wonder if the fact that the blades are against the metal shield means they effectively self sharpen, since it goes so many shaves.

I'm amazed there is so much waste with these exposed blade shaving systems. Even if they could be sharpened and re-used a dozen times you'd cut the waste down to 1/10th....
Disagree. In my experience it’s way easier to use something like fish out of the box rather than spending hours configuring bash to your liking assuming you don’t have your dot files made to your liking yet. If someone is just starting out I’d absolutely recommend something like fish or zsh over bash or csh.
It does not work like that. Money laundering is outlawed by the US Code Title 18, and as such it is the law of the land. If someone contests it, for example based on the 4th Amendment, and the issue gets to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court overturns that provision, then, yes money laundering becomes a non-crime. Until then, it is a crime. Of course, you are free to petition your representative, or to just contact the EFF foundation, or pick any of a large number of ways to push your opinion. But other people have their own opinions too. And the outcome of the collective opinion as of now is that money laundering is a crime.
Remittances are cross border transfers from expats of the country receiving the remittances.

If you (as the government of El Salvador) wanted to reduce remittance costs, the way to do that is working directly with the US Fed or with a fintech like Wise to drive down the costs of cross border payments (especially when dollars are used internally in El Salvador).

Okay — so show me that.

What exactly is different if you account for more people making us the wealthiest, least starving time in history?

How exactly is the outcome negative?

What exactly means that fewer people is the solution to our problems, when historically the opposite has been true?

Again, you’re not showing me that — you’re asserting it as an article of faith you expect me to just believe on your say so.

> Why is a thread on electric razors not the top comment on a post about the expense/waste of straight razors?

The post doesn’t even mention straight razors [1].

Also, I’m not sure electric razors are the less wasteful solution. Any electric appliance is likely to be much more environmentally costly to manufacture than a simple gadget. It certainly can’t compare with safety razors (or double-edged razors, as called in the article).

I won’t comment on the convenience of electric razors. My very limited experience with them (and not only mine) is that they don’t work on all beards, or if you don’t shave every day.
