I too use a Merkur safety razor (for the past ~18 years) and Feather blades. I only shave once a week nowadays (with very few exceptions). It’s my weekly routine: it takes me some time, but I get the shave I want.

> Why is a thread on electric razors not the top comment on a post about the expense/waste of straight razors?
The post doesn’t even mention straight razors [1].
Also, I’m not sure electric razors are the less wasteful solution. Any electric appliance is likely to be much more environmentally costly to manufacture than a simple gadget. It certainly can’t compare with safety razors (or double-edged razors, as called in the article).
I won’t comment on the convenience of electric razors. My very limited experience with them (and not only mine) is that they don’t work on all beards, or if you don’t shave every day.

> I strongly dislike MacOS because they force the "apple way" of doing things.
Complaining about this is like complaining that cats don’t behave like dogs.
macOS has its own idiosyncrasies. It may not be for everyone, but maybe this is the reason why things “just work” for the general public (and more).
I’m not aware of Windows working on Apple Silicon, but there is Asahi Linux which, I hear, has done a good job with their M1 support, although it likely comes with compromises (again, this is second hand information).

This is the same as the posters for “Isle of Dogs”, where the juxtaposition of the English words and equivalent kanji is rather strange.

OP here. Your page recently popped up on “Present /&/ Correct”: http://blog.presentandcorrect.com/ikea-dictionary
I thought giving it some visibility could help fill in some of the missing entries.
