  1. Wash your face or any area you want to shave with gentle soap.
  2. Use a gentle shaving cream, no scent, no alcohol. If possible, spread it with a shaving brush gently.
  3. Shave in the direction of the hair, e.g. your moustache you probably go from nose to lips.
     a. Change your blades often, with a safety razor you most likely want a new blade after each shave. Blades get dull, pull the hair and clog the pores, they will accumulate bacteria overtime, causing infections, disposing them after each shave will reduce the chances of those happening.
     b. Try to get good at passing the blade only once, avoid repeating on the same spots multiple times. If struggling, you might want to consider one of those razors that adjust to your face as you move, or an electric trimmer - avoid the ones that pull the hair before cutting.
  4. Wash your face again, if possible, use a soap with ceramides and niacinamide (they will help with your skin recovery).
  5. Tap your face gently with a clean towel, do not rub it, don’t go hard. Leave some moisture.
  6. Use moisturizer (ceramides and niacinamide is a plus)
  7. SPF

  A lot of the things that happen to your skin can be caused by bacteria, clogged pores by dead skin, dirty, hair, fabric… Those steps will help you minimize the chances and help your skin recover faster after shaving.

  If possible, you should visit a dermatologist for a deeper understanding of your skin, and the care you need.

  Also, on a special occasion, treat yourself to one of those old school barbers, with hot/cold towels and all the pampers.

  Depends on the threat model and how long do you need the data.

  Worked on a place long ago, that anything they needed to save offline from more than a few decades where stored in microfilm, the expectancy there where they would last 80 to 100 years.

  Anything else was pretty much tape.

  You also take in account the technology avaiability. The more complex is to use, harder will it be to reproduce in the future. Even with tapes, you might want to copy the data to another tape/recorder every decade or two, to keep it on par with the technology.

  Not sure if it is a scam, like people are claiming (on the post, and steam reviews). I feel like it is more like a lack of experience and knowledge in the game business than any intentional wrongdoing.

  There are definitely problems with the game, and the pace of updates and fixes has been lacking since it first appeared on Steam.

  After watching the dev Stream in 2023, it seems like he loves what he is doing and probably will see this through, but he really struggles with basic concepts of game making - that might have changed since then.

  During a programming session, he was asking everything to an AI chatbot and copying the result into the code, then suffering for a while back and fort with the bot because the code did not work as he intended, while the chat was sending the documentation page of the engine and other help that would have solved his issues.
