Perhaps the cure to male loneliness is men stepping up for men. As a former lost boy myself, I certainly would have appreciated it.

Now I mentor the shit out of juniors in my professional life.

Seconded. I bought a Merkur handle, 25 blades and some soap about 15-18 years ago. Since then I've bought maybe 3 more soaps and a pack of 100 more blades. I probably get through moisturizer faster than I get through any of my other shaving stuff.

Shaving is basically free if you use a safety razor. It makes me wonder what other basic necessities stolen by capitalism are actually easily reclaimed.

    shaving cream. you think it’s necessary because you use it every time, and if you were to not use it all of a sudden, your face would be shredded

    You shave with just water alone? I've done that a couple times in the past and it's not a pleasant experience, and I'm far from having sensitive skin.
