I swapped to Harry's a few years back as they're one of the few vegan brands. But this shit is frustrating. Those little rubber side pieces are load bearing and made thin enough that they're gonna break after a while.

I literally can't remember the leftist word for a product that's designed to break after some time.

No shame directed at the bearded comrades, but damn shaving helps get a tight seal with N95s.

    If you go to a barber and they put a hot towel on your face and use a soothing shaving gel (as opposed to shaving foam) and a mostoisturizing aftershave, it can apparently make a huge difference, but that's not an economically sound solution.

    You can recreate some of this at home but it's also not practical to have a hot steamed towel esp if you're running late.

      Also, the hot towel idea sounds good, I have super thick facial hair and I guess making it softer could help the overall process. Also, "let's steam the towel" sounds sexy af

        There's also pre shave oil which softens the hair, makes it easier to cut and less likely to pull. I have to use it if I go more than a few days without shaving.
