  • only on pc
  • only on mobile
  • only on web browser
  • mobile and pc only

?

i feel the mobile form factor makes games waaaay more approachable, installing an app feels like less of an act compared to pulling an AppImage for desktop use-

    I’ve shaved blind in the shower every day for years. I just run my hand along my face directly in front of the razor as I shave to feel what the razor is about to run over before it actually gets there. For the sideburn area I put my finger at the edge of what I want to shave and just shave upwards until I bump against my finger. For the lips I just kinda curl them inward to make them as flush with my face as possible. I’ve memorized the contours of my face at this point.

    You skipped a few steps, Maria.

    First get a washcloth and take it with you into a nice hot shower. Put the razor where you can find it with your eyes shut. Lather up your hair with some nice-scented shampoo. Spread some of the lather to your face and rub the stubbly areas with the washcloth, to get the hairs lifted up and the skin pushed down. You’ll get a closer shave and fewer cuts.

    Now start shaving with your eyes shut, paying attention to how the razor feels on your skin, sliding through the shampoo foam, getting rid of all that stubble.

    If you have short hair you can clean up your neck too, just feel for the edge of your hairline with a finger of your other hand so you don’t shave too high. Same for in front of your ears. Then finish washing and conditioning your hair. Feel free to shave any other parts of yourself while you’re in there. Just remember to give them a little rub with the soapy washcloth first.

    If you have very dry hair, you can shampoo it first, put on conditioner, and use some of that to make your face slippery for shaving, while your hair gets moisturized during those minutes.

    I’ve actually shaved without a mirror without cutting myself while in a hospital. I wouldn’t recommend bc scary

    As far as your game, it would be nice to have mobile, but there are probably a lot of hurdles to it.

        The better technique is either shower or soaking razor in hot water every X to keep it hot. Also, go first downwards then upwards. Upwards directly is too rough on the skin and you will get hurt.

        After shaving in the shower or out, throw some face lotion, specific after shave if you can so microcuts close faster and you are good to go.

        I’m a cis man and I don’t mind shaving in the mirror, but I usually shave in the shower because hot hair + skin + blades = no cuts.

          I’ve heard that you shouldn’t cross cut like that (down then up) as it can increase the risk of ingrown hairs. Can’t absolutely vouch for the validity of that though.

        I don’t shave my face so take this with a grain of salt, but I have been convinced by several people with shaved heads that shaving with a safety razor and badger hair brush is the way to go for the closest shave.

        It’s also like INSANELY cheaper than disposable razor heads and they last longer. Like we used to buy a pack of gilette heads for $40-50 for 12 every couple of weeks, now we buy one pack of 10 blades for $5 every few months.

    I’ve found that the further I get with laser the more bearable it is, not just easier in general but looking in the mirror while I do it. Just can’t wait until I don’t need to put so much work into covering what’s still there when I’m wearing makeup

      Depilation cream is a good option. Its easy to use and it lasts for about 8-9 days for me. Just make sure to get the sensitive version, it has a weaker concentration of active ingredient. Using the legs\arms-one on private parts can cause a rash.

      (if someone tells me it causes cancer or made out of baby seals I will be very, very sad 🫥)

    Just add being in the shower and that’s what I do. Plus, I don’t have issues with not being able to touch my face, and washing it after helps me find the spots I missed the first time
