Where should I shave? Over a sink? over a bathtub? Where is the best place to shave for my plumbing?

Also, why should I use shaving cream? Should I go without shaving cream?

Also, How often should I replace my one-time use razors?

If you're taking off long facial hair, trim it down first. Dispose of that in the regular trash.
Whatever's left on your face will be small enough to not matter for the pipes. The waste pipes start off at like 1-2" in diameter and only get bigger. Hairs smaller than 3 or 4 inches wont cause problems.

Use shaving cream to bring the hair up, lubricate your skin, and generally make shaving a less destructive experience for your facial skin. It also helps get a better and closer shave.

I used to replace my razors every month, but I would also sharpen them in between shavings. A cool way to do that is to pull it over the top of the forearm, but backwards. You wanna make sure you're not actually shaving/cutting yourself with it, but rather just dragging the tips of the blades over your skin. The skin is rough enough to put a nice edge back on the blade.
Nowadays I have a nice electric razor and a single-blade razor. The former just needs a cleaning, the latter gets replaced about once a month (maybe less)

Me too. And i just use warm or hot water, no shaving cream.

A mark of someone who doesn't shave very often. Way back when, shaving once or twice a week with just warm water worked fine for me, but when you get to having to shave daily, the irritation caused by lack of shaving cream (and possibly improper technique) will cause quite a bit of discomfort.

Oh the days when shaving was a novelty...

My friends need to do community service, what organizations are those willing to verify community service to the court? Because I know some organization don't like to take people who have been mandated to do community service by the court.

If you're not shaving your face, do what women do and shave in the shower or bath. Bath is easier.

It's also possible to gather it all in a bucket and burn it. Right?

Depends on the blog, what you write about and how often you update.

I am assuming you mean shaving your face. Sink is the way to go, though shower may work if you have a mirror in the shower.

Don't worry about the plumbing. I have shaved some pretty long hair, but the worst I hae ever had is if there is a screen or something at the drain in the sink, which you may have to clean out with your finger/tweezers and just toss in the garbage.

Shaving cream definitely helps (unless you are using an electric razor). I have had occasions to shave without it and the shave is coarse, both hard on the face and the shaved face, compared to with cream.

As for when to replace your razor, your face will let you know. It depends on how coarse the hair is, how sensitive your skin is, etc... I just say, ignore any indicator strip that a razor may have. They are pointless, just go by the feeling of the blade.

Shower doesnt leave you sitting in stubble, though you do have to remember to cut-in the sideburns in the mirror after shaving blind.

Question -

If I have to replace a cars break calliper, how important is it to replace both? I'm getting the mechanic to do it as Im busy atm and the mechanics time cost is basically the same for replacing one or both.

How any posts does this thread have to have before a new one is started?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

1000 normally.

 

[remake20]

See if someone who does not normally post here (me) can get post 1,000 and start the new thread.

Is Bill3000 the dude who most often start threads?

This! Burning massive amounts of stuff is fun! I once lit part of a Christmas tree on fire in my backyard!

...boyyy did that flame get big. It surprised me.

...But then I wanted to do it again. The adrenaline rush was simply too much to resist.

Him or Abaddon from what I've heard. Hence why they get PO'd when someone else does it.

Meaning: start the next one if you wish. (After this one reaches 1000 posts of course)

Do senior mods have anymore power than regular or junior mods?
