Tbh, figuring out the right blade gap for close shaves changed everything

Noticed more guys asking for razor shaves but getting irritation. I played with the blade gap on my shaver and found a sweet spot that cuts close without redness. Anyone else tweak their tools for sensitive skin?

At the gym, I watch guys max out the weight machines without adjusting the seat first.

Saw a study once about how people hate adjusting things, even when it hurts their results. It's the same stubbornness @nathan_hill60 mentioned with the razors, just swapped for weights. Guess some would rather fail with the default setting than look for a better fit.

After three bloody mornings, I locked my adjustable razor at 0.5mm. @barbaraschmidt is right about guys refusing to tweak settings, but how did she pinpoint her own sweet spot? Did she map her face first or just guess and check? I see too many dudes crank it open for one pass and wonder why their skin rebels.

Watch guys fry their skin with a razor set to lawnmower mode and then act shocked. Spending five minutes on the gap is like asking them to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. My own trial and error left me looking like a bad sunburn for a week. Honestly, some dudes would rather blame their genes than touch a dial. The sweet spot is real, but good luck convincing the stubborn ones.
