I used to have a 1/4" nut that missed the threading process. I had it on my keychain to remind me that even if something is done millions of times without error, sometimes mistakes can happen.

Lost it when my backpack was stolen.

I think the first one I installed was Debian back in '97 when I was 12. I think my dad helped a bunch, but I can’t really remember stuff from back then very well.

My initial thought was that it was gentoo which I used as my principal OS for close to ten years. I don’t know how many times I reinstalled, but enough that I basically had it by memory. Taught me to keep my home dir on a separate partition.

These days I mostly live in windows because AutoCAD is a part of my professional life, but I dual boot popos on weekends. Unless kernel updates break my displaylink docking station…

I have the standard AL13. I didn’t know they had different levels. My beard isn’t super thick, but not sparse either. I can shave a full weeks growth (4-6mm length) without issue. My previous razors would clog a fair bit if I did the same and I’d have to take less per stroke and rinse more frequently.

I also like the Astra blades. Even more important ive found is a quality razor holder. I had a few, but when I got a Henson for Christmas it was the best shave I’ve ever had. Their marketing isn’t a gimmick. A well supported blade held rigid doesn’t flex and pull at hairs.
