Of course I use shaving cream! But the damn thing is—the blades just go dull way too fast! And look, I’m not even sure which ones we're debating here—are we talking about the traditional safety razors or those cartridge ones you just swap out?
I went out and dropped the cash on one of those high-end electric shavers too—and guess what? It’s still picking up dust like everything else. What a complete waste of money! Honestly, you probably don't even have thick enough facial hair to justify it. For me, I can't get away with anything less than two blades per shave—anything else just goes dull immediately.
Brian Bishop2 said:They aren't expensive at all if you actually make them last—those "disposable" ones can easily stretch out past a month. And honestly, if you’re going out of your way to buy some fancy Mach3 or whatever high-end number they're pushing these days, you're just throwing money down the drain; these disposables do a perfectly decent job.
What I really can't wrap my head around is why eyeglass frames are so damn overpriced—we're talking hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars for a tiny scrap of plastic or metal. Compared to that, Gillette is practically free.
What kind of chin are you working with if a razor lasts you a whole month? I toss mine in the trash after every single shave!
Just felt the need to get this off my chest. At the school where my mother works—this happened quite recently, actually—they had a situation that really sticks with me. You have this kid, maybe in third grade or thereabouts, and from the jump, everyone just assumed he was slow—dim-witted, incapable, you name it. But after digging deeper, it turns out the boy actually has an incredibly high IQ. Because he’s introverted or just processes things differently, they all jumped to the conclusion that he was some kind of freak or just plain stupid. It's unbelievable. It’s honestly pathetic when the people in charge fail to recognize true potential.
Is this some kind of guessing game or what? Are you testing whether we actually recognize the terminology—or are you just out here making up your own definitions on the fly? Honestly, I'm completely lost...
To be perfectly blunt, I haven't the slightest clue what you're even trying to scribble about here.
I’ve been dealing with this nagging little issue for over a month now—it started right around the last time I went out for a bike ride back in July. Since then, the area around my backside has been incredibly red and itchy.
Basically, I’ve developed this redness—or more accurately, an irritation/rash—right in the gluteal cleft, and let me tell you, the itching is absolutely brutal. I’ve actually picked up a few suggestions here on the forum regarding what to apply, and so far, I’ve cycled through three different things: a baby cream, some calendula ointment, and now I’m using this Avene Cicalfate cream from the drugstore. There is definitely some visible improvement—the redness isn't as intense—but it’s nowhere near fully healed. As for the itch? It fluctuates wildly; one minute I feel nothing, and the next, I feel like I could literally tear my own skin off. One thing is certain: whenever I start sweating, the itching intensifies—that part is undeniable.
Is sweat really the culprit here? And honestly, what should my next move be? I’ve been slathering on these creams for over a month straight, and while they help, I want this gone for good.
I’ve got this redness right on my backside—specifically in the... well, let's just say the gluteal cleft area. Sometimes the itching gets pretty intense, and it really flared up about ten days ago after I went for a long bike ride. I've been applying some baby ointment, and for the last few days, I switched over to some chamomile cream; there's a slight improvement, but honestly, the whole thing still feels totally unsettled. The itching is also quite bad whenever I start sweating. Is it possible I'm having an allergic reaction to something or what?
I’m starting this thread because I am honestly at a loss here—maybe someone can actually make sense of this for me. Since yesterday, I’ve been dealing with this pain at my crown, my head, my scalp... honestly, I can't even tell if it's the hair or something else entirely. It’s a localized pain on my head—specifically the front area—and it hurts just to touch the skin. To make matters weirder, this yellowish, tacky, resin-like substance has formed right over the painful spots. It isn't dandruff; it's more like a crusty, yellowish secretion. I noticed it immediately upon waking up this morning.
I have no clue what the culprit might be, but I will note a few things—just in case there's a connection. I had a very short buzz cut done about three days ago. Then, the day before yesterday, I was out in the sun and definitely felt a bit of a burn on my face—my skin got quite red. Yesterday, I was out riding my bike in the sun again, and there were moments where I was pushing through some pretty heavy wind. Maybe it’s all completely unrelated, but I figured I should mention it. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
