What brands do you avoid at all cost? I don’t keep up with the news all that much, and many of the reasons to avoid something don’t make it there anyway. So I’m asking here to make a big list of things to avoid. It could be anything from bad security practices to really frustrating packaging. Working as a cashier myself, I definitely know there are plenty of brands I avoid purely on the basis that their product is a pain to stock.

On the flip side, what’s the alternative? If you avoid Pepsi, for example, what do you turn to instead?

    Reasonable. Personally, I never learned how to use a razor, so I just use an electric shaver. It doesn’t give as good a cut, but I’m happy to contribute to a boycott anyway.

      🤔

      Alright. Ima be ur daddy and tell you have to shave in 3 minutes flat.

      • Acquire some BIC single blade razors

      • Head to shower, put it on steaming hot and apply steaming hot water to face. Getting a hot towel after getting out of the shower and leaving it on your face for a while makes a tough shave even moar comfortable.

      • Lather shaving foam all over face

      • Run BIC razor under cold running water and shave until your face is like a baby’s bum

      • Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove all lather

        I think the key that they never admit is that none of those disposable razors can really handle anything more than a couple of days growth. If you are someone who doesn’t try to stay cleanshaven, but just want to shave once you start to get scruffy, it will never work.

        That’s where double edge, shavettes, and true straight razors excel.

          Very true.

          I generally just use my ceramic bladed hair cutter on 0 when I’m not required to have a clean, clean shave, and then like I say above just use a BIC when I need a baby’s bum face for work etc.

          The twin / triple blades I find can be off-putting to some since if you have too much growth they latch on and snag.
