No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Are those razor subscription services any good? The dollar shave clubs and Harry's and stuff like that? I've never really seen the point, seeing as a local dollar store has cheap razors in them in 5 packs. Am I missing out on something?

Edit: So what I am seeing from this is get a safety razor, or learn how to do a straight razor shave, and if for some reason I want to see what the "premium" option is like try delco. Alright, thanks for the tips!

i don't like subscriptions. they are mostly good for the company but bad for the customer.

You can buy a pack of 100 count blades for like 15 bucks. That should last about 2 years at one blade a week

If you're able to use a safety razor. The way my hair grows, I've never been able to get a close shave with any razor.

If the dollar store razors work for you, there's no point in a subscription service.

Also, the DSC is just rebranded Delco razors, so you can just buy those for much less.

Any cartridge or disposable razor is a scam. Safety or straight razors provide a better shave at a fraction of the yearly cost, for a low initial investment. Straight razors are much more of a learning curve, but safety razors are just as easy to use as a cartridge razor.

I'll give a sort of recommendation to using a safety razor and cheap blades instead. However I've been doing it for years and still cut myself.

I yearn for a razor that can use safety razor blades and wouldn't cut me up.

I already have these razors that use those blades already: Leaf, OneBlade, Maxwell June, and Proof razors.. and yet they all cut me up about the same as my regular safety razor.

Anyways razors are kind of cool. Wonder if there is a Lemmy community for shaving.
