  • I also shave with a safety razor/shavette and spend about twice as long for a close shave as the first pass. Also being worried for time, I’ve clocked myself at typically less than 4 minutes including warm-up, post-shave creams, brushing, and oiling.

    You go once with the grain, once across it (90 degrees) and then once against it but with a lower angle than the others (so you don’t cut/irritate unnecessarily). Lather before each pass as per usual. The time to get everything set up and work up the first lather is longer than going another two passes.














  • My list is quite different than the ones currently in the thread.

    The boring ones:

    Creating a vaccine or other cloaking to make humans invisible to ticks & mosquitoes. A separate project would be to do the same for parasites.

    Enacting strict pollution/carbon limits and mandatory circular economy everywhere in the world.

    Researching, trialing and Enacting a sustainable post-capitalist system everywhere in the world.

    Developing solar energy until covering global energy demands, including a power network that can transport energy from the sunny side and/or orbit everywhere.

    The slightly more ambitious:

    Establish self-sustainable colonies living on off-earth resources, most probably also situated off-earth.

    Create a Dyson swarm with enough energy output for in-system exploration, mining, colonisation, and terraforming.

    Perfect matter replicators.

    I have some other ideas as well, but those would be a start.
