Are you sure that it’s the shaving and not the cream?

It would be easy enough to test, say by not shaving for a couple of days and applying the cream to one side of your face.

I had a reaction (not acne), only to some shaving lubes (it wasn’t the shaving, per se). I ended up noting the ingredients of the lubes and narrowed down what was triggering it. I now use oil or a really cheap, supermarket foam.

Good luck 👌🏼

…I had to think about that one!

Another one common one:

PLEASE USE BOTH LANES

Good one.

Reminds me of THIS DOOR IS ALARMED.

My student accommodation had cockchafers. The university didn’t believe us until one of my friends presented them with one in a matchbox.

This all probably sounds nuts, but here are my oil systems:

I wash out and recycle glass jars, but peanut butter jars are difficult to clean and will end up getting fat into the water system. So I keep the peanut butter jars for oil.

I also keep a bendy, steel decorating pallet in the kitchen for scraping out fat from the grill tray and rack. You’re left with some fat that you can wipe off with kitchen paper, which you can also use to wipe the pallet knife. Then washing up liquid and a splash of boiling water from the kettle.

There can be quite a lot of oil in leftover food, like sauces, too. I use a silicone spatula to scoop it off before washing.

Yes, but not just your own pipes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatberg

Thank you. I think the decades-old chemistry-class flashback distracted me from thoroughly absorbing the full post!

Good idea, but apparently not possible: According to Sky News “Mr Steele says he has no means of recouping his costs from UK assets owned by Trump, because the golf courses that bear his name in Scotland are held in trust structures.”

Thank you (4 now added!)

They told me at school that ‘p’ meant ‘negative log’. So ‘pH’ means ‘the negative log of the concentration of Hydrogen ions in moles/litre’.

pH 1 is 1 x 10^-1 (strong acid)

pH 7 is 1 x 10^-7 (neutral)

pH 14 is 1 x 10^-14 (alkaline)

(Chemistry was a long time ago, though)

Yeah…it’s worth checking that your face is centralised.

Last week my wife ran a video call at work with the camera on her cleavage.

Ouch!

I lost about an hour of my life trying to create a historical timeline in MS Excel. Eventually learned this is impossible with dates earlier than 1900.

Computers make yellow with red + green…

Btw the three colour channels, red, green, blue each have 8 bits, 2^8 = 256. And for all three channels there are 256 x 256 x 256 = 16,777,216 permutations of possible colours.

If you have a Mac you can use Colour Picker (in Applications/Utilities) to hover over your screen and see the channel mixes of colours under the cursor.
