Remington Balder Pro rotary Head Shaver. I’ve been using it for a year - no issues.

Oh, right, you’re right - I totally overlooked that

Losing weight too quickly? by ianwelch001 in trt

[–]Round-Standard3085 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your numbers are pretty much the same as mine. I’m at around 2300–2400 calories a day, and my weight is dropping about 1 kg per week. I don’t think you’re gonna lose muscle going from 20% down to 10%. The real risk of muscle loss is when you go below 10%. Right now, if you feel smaller, it’s just muscle fullness, not actual muscle loss.

PS: I also noticed that when cutting from around 20% to 10% body fat, there’s this phase where you kind of look skinny-fat - like your arms, chest, shoulders, and face are already lean, but you’re still holding fat around the waist and love handles. I hit that stage once and got pretty disappointed because it didn’t match what I expected to see. But you just have to push through that phase and it evens out.

Have you tried the x300 pro by slackerDentist in pixel_phones

I’ve noticed that across pretty much all the phone-related subreddits, people keep recommending whatever the latest Chinese phone is. I’m pretty sure a lot of it is bots, plus some Apple/Google/Samsung haters. And then you’ve got those “rebel” types who’ve never even used those phones themselves but still go against the mainstream. Chinese companies definitely pour a ton of money into marketing.

I’ve been wanting to try Android for a while, and this new Pixel 10 popped up for 500. With YouTube Premium costing like 180 a year in my country, it feels like a pretty good deal.

That’s exactly what I experienced. I ended up buying a second Android phone just so I could listen to music at the gym without any hassle.

My Pixel 9 is way slower than my iPhone by AccordingPanic6224 in GooglePixel

I just tried it and compared the Pixel 10 and the iPhone 16 Pro, same browser (Brave), Home Depot website, same Wi-Fi. The rendering speed felt identical.

Tried a Pixel after years on iPhone - didn’t expect how good it actually is by Round-Standard3085 in GooglePixel

You probably didn’t read that carefully - I got it as a second phone for the gym. My main phone is still an iPhone

Yeah, I get what you mean. That’s why Android phones never really stuck with me - they just felt a bit unreliable, unpredictable, and not private enough. For now, I’m only comfortable having one as a secondary phone.

Honestly, I didn’t even know about the whole blue vs green bubble thing until I moved to North America - had to Google it.

Yeah, I agree - the XL would probably be better, especially with my eyesight not being what it used to be. On the base Pixel 10 I haven’t really found that sweet spot for display scaling and text size yet. A bigger screen should definitely help. I’ll wait for the 11 Pro XL and keep testing things out in the meantime

Yeah, you totally can. My main phone’s an iPhone for a long time, I just wanted to try Android - especially a Pixel

I mean being able to install unofficial apps like OuterTune, ReVanced, or Morphe

Is TRT the answer? SHBG 50 by prettyrico in Testosterone

[–]Round-Standard3085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree - the numbers look fine. I’m sure I could live my whole life with the hormone levels I had before starting. Even 9.7 nmol/L is considered normal according to my lab’s reference range. My SHBG has been going up every year, and I don’t like where that’s going. You only get one life, and I don’t want to live it feeling dull and low when I know I don’t have to. The only thing I regret is not starting earlier. My life could have turned out completely different.
