A regular daily routine helps. Regular short breaks are also essential for your physical and mental health so don't try to fight this urge too hard. A break doesn't have to involve 30 minutes of doomscrolling, you can just go and

The Gillette cartrdiges last quite a while and, for me, 15 shaves would be a conservative guess. I don't recall ever cutting myself either, unlike with old style razors and cheap disposables where it was pretty much a daily hazard. Non

I think you've over reached here. 'regular people I see on the street' is a general term and shouldn't be taken too literally. Inter-ethnic relationships in England and Wales rose by two percentage points between 2001 an
