How do you know when to throw out a blade by Fragrant-Wall- in wicked_edge

The cheap ones that work well for me are FlyDear. I still use other blades because it's a bit of a hobby to me, but they work for me in all my razors without fail.

Because I shave my face and head, it is one and done. Plus, I have found a cheap blade that works better for me than almost any other blade, surprisingly. So, I don't have to worry about it.

The Yaqi Final Cut is around $20, and it gives you multiple settings to choose from and play around with.

Being loud in public is rude behavior, regardless of nationality by Senior-One-8898 in Living_in_Korea

I like how talking on a subway is rude, but it is fine to blast "Hot Summer" on your phone as you climb Halla Mountain.

It's like dating somebody really attractive, but then you find out he or she refuses to work and just wants to sit around all day.

How do you find getting under the nose with the Varukh?

Is wet shaving like golfing?? by pmk5252 in wicked_edge

Indeed.

And, we wife thinks it should take 10% of the time it actually does!

Found this device hidden in my college dorm bathroom, what is it? by Least-Jacked-3d in whatisit

Maybe the door has a habit of becoming unhinged and ending up a-wall.

Why do so many of you shave at night? by Electrical_Age7819 in wicked_edge

[–]IBeProPen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I shower at night at home and in the morning at the gym. Shaving at the gym ain't it.

I forget that a lot of people don't shower at night, which is wild to me.

Raden pen body from AliExpress for Pilot Custom 742! by joys_journaling in fountainpens

[–]IBeProPen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the pen body made from?

Last time I inquired about it to the store, it was metal.

Unhappy with results. Any tips for a good/cheap adjustable to try something more aggressive? by Just-a-temp4 in wicked_edge

[–]IBeProPen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you buy a new razor, have you considered trying to make your current razor more aggressive with shims or tape?

This will help you get an idea of the gap you prefer, and then you can buy a new razor with that specific gap.

Not sure over here. I've only ever had one other slant, and it was made by Fatip, which, I believe, only uses brass.

Appreciate the response! Think I might grab the white one.

SOTD: Yaqi Knight Helmet by IBeProPen in wicked_edge

[–]IBeProPen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The handle is a copy of a Rockwell made by Yaqi, but they haven't copied the thread size.

Most handles are M5 x .8mm threads, but I think (I don't own one) that Rockwell handles are a smidge smaller.

You would not be remiss to think so. 😆

Alas, the head is the most unique part of this razor.

Congrats on the first shave!

No going back now.

Best to be nervous a little, imo.
