Rocinante

Didn't expect blades like the Kai and Feather to be so expensive, since I can get Astra 100 for around $8 versus $30ish for a pack of 100 for the rest.

In that case do you have a recommendation for a razer that works better with the astra that is in the price range of the Merkur 34c?

Check out realgm forums for sports. Was hard cutting off sports community on reddit, but realgm is active and been around for years.

I got the Merkur Mk34c and shaved a couple of times with it with the Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades. It feels bit to mild to me and not getting close enough compared to the old starter razorock starter safety razor I had got.

Is it an issue of technique or that the Astra doesn’t work as well with the Mk34c? Or should I look for another option?

Yes, being able to set different colors to show up depending on the app is so cool. Still an option in LineageOS with a section for Notification LED.

It doesn't illuminate the same though ☹️ . Have a new phone with no LED and an old OnePlus phone I use as a back up with a dedicated LED.

It's one reason I haven't rushed to try out every lemmy app that has come out yet.

Stopped using google search. Started using duckduckgo, brave, startpage, or SearXNG instead. Been using SearXNG the most.
