  • Because the 3rd panel looks better when you have dozens of physical properties to track. It also makes retrieval easier because you can get all the physical properties at once, instead of having to read every line.

    For an example that small it doesn’t matter, but for something larger it could become a performance benefit.

    I’ve been using double edge safety razors for a long time since other methods were never comfortable. I also liked to experiment with different hardware and soaps until I found my preference. I would recommend against using a razor with a design that has multiple stacked blades.

    The additional blades often cause additional irritation because the first blade removes the shaving cream, so additional blades are scraping the skin without sufficient lubrication. If you are prone to ingrown hairs, these are also likely to make that much worse.

    If you want a closer shave, I recommend doing multiple passes (with the grain, then across, then against; skip the against the grain pass in sensitive areas or entirely) and reapply shaving cream between passes.

    Lastly, I prefer having a fixed head razor (no pivot) because then I can control the angle. This allows you to adjust to the cutting angle of the blade and to adjust the aggressiveness of the cut in different areas. A pivoting head takes away this control.

    If you need recommendations, for gear let me know. I’m happy to share my knowledge.


  • Yes, you have to trust the company storing the passwords.

    A good company can store passwords in ways that are secure to most hacking attempts. It isn’t impossible to break the encryption typically used, but it is difficult enough that most thieves will not have the resources or time to make use of the data. They want the low effort password databases, not the difficult and expensive ones.








  • Sure, they probably work great when you have your *passkey manager on the device, but that’s not when I need to have backup routes into my accounts. When using a new device, or someone else’s, having even a complicated password that can be typed or copied-pasted has way more functionality.

    As far a I can tell, using passkeys would only risk locking me out of my accounts. Everyone else is already effectively locked out.


  • While the lock-in issue is annoying and a good reason not to adopt these, the device failure issue is a tech killer. Especially when I can use a password manager. This means I can remember two passwords (email and password manager), make them secure, and then always recover all my accounts.

    Passkeys are a technology that were surpassed 10 years before their introduction and I believe the only reason they are being pushed is because security people think they are cool and tech companies would be delighted to lock you into their system.
