Washing your face post-shave will help you slough off all the dead skin that might have accumulated during the shave. Facial scrubs that contain tea tree oil and witch hazel are especially good, as they protect against pimples and soothe irritated skin, respectively. Don't rub with a towel, as that can irritate the freshly shaved skin. Use a generous amount of moisturizer that is free of perfumes and other potential irritants (e.g. baby oil) if you suffer from dry facial skin. Never apply deodorant, antiperspirants, perfume, or anything that stings on just shaved skin. You may use aftershave as a coolant or light perfume on your skin post-shave, but it could irritate your face. If you apply aftershave and it stings an area of your face, you know that you irritated that area during your shave. Take special caution next time you shave that area. Remove any hair or buildup that's accumulated while shaving. This avoids contaminants and minerals in the water from drying onto the blades making the blades blunt. Stainless steel blades may also oxidize to some degree when they come in contact with water. Slow the oxidation process by thoroughly drying your razor blade after use. Blades can also be 'stropped' on denim jeans by rubbing the blade in the non-cutting direction about ten to twenty times or so; this dries and polishes the front of the blades and allows them to last many times longer.

One-sentence summary -- If you have the time, wash your face post-shave with warm water and facial scrub. Pat dry and moisturize. Rinse, clean and dry your blade after you're finished.

Q: Mix the ingredients loosely in a large bowl — you're looking for a roughly uniform mixture, but it's not necessary to spend lots of time mixing here. To get an even mixture without having to combine the ingredients too thoroughly, first make a "well" in the middle of the bowl by pushing the dry ingredients to the sides. Pour the milk into the "well." Fold the dry ingredients into the well several times to mix well. As mentioned above, it's a good idea to avoid stirring more than necessary to preserve the light, fluffy texture of the biscuits. Unlike the biscuits above, here, we're going for a slightly crispier, denser product. Instead of rolling the dough thin, use a spoon to grab balls of dough and drop them onto the sheet a few inches apart from each other. Though the balls of the dough can vary slightly in size, you're aiming for each ball to use about a tablespoon of dough for each.  To save time, combine these ingredients while the biscuits are baking. Take the biscuits out of the oven when done and transfer to cooling rack. Before eating, use a brush or paper towel to give each a thin coat of the butter/garlic mixture. Sprinkle biscuits with parsley flakes before serving.
A: Preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC). Combine Bisquick and cheese. Mix in milk. Stir until entire mixture is just moistened. Drop spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Mix melted butter and garlic powder. Allow the biscuits to cool  and brush with butter mixture.

Problem: Article: Alcohol damages the liver by blocking its ability to process carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. When these things build up in damaging levels in the liver, the body may react with reactive inflammation that leads to hepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. However, excessive alcohol use is not sufficient to promote alcoholic liver disease. Only 1 in 5 heavy drinkers develop alcoholic hepatitis, and 1 in 4 develops cirrhosis.  Men are considered "heavy drinkers" if they have 15 or more drinks in a given week. Women are considered "heavy" drinkers with 8 or more drinks per week.  You can still develop cirrhosis after you've stopped drinking. However, alcohol abstinence is still recommended for all people with cirrhosis. It will help treatment and healing, no matter what stage of the disease you're in.  While cirrhosis is more common in men, cirrhosis in women is more likely to result from alcoholism. The chronic liver inflammation and injury from either virus can, over several decades, develop into cirrhosis.  Risk factors for hepatitis B include unprotected sex, blood transfusions, and injection drug use with contaminated needles. This is a lot less prevalent in the US and other developed countries due to vaccinations. Risk factors for hepatitis C include infections from injection drug use, blood transfusions, and body piercing and tattoos. Cirrhosis from hepatitis C is the most common reason for liver transplants. In 15-30% of people with cirrhosis, diabetes is a risk factor for developing "non-alcoholic steatohepatitis" (NASH). Diabetes is also common in chronic hepatitis C infections — a common cause of cirrhosis — likely because of decreased pancreas function.  Another cirrhosis cause that's often correlated with diabetes is hemochromatosis. This condition is characterized by iron deposits in the skin,  heart, joints, and pancreas. The pancreatic buildup leads to diabetes. Obesity presents a wide variety of health concerns, from type 2 diabetes and heart disease to arthritis and stroke. But, the excess fat in the liver causes inflammation and damage that could develop into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.  To determine whether you are within a healthy weight range, take advantage of an online BMI (body mass index) calculator.  A BMI calculation takes into consideration your age, height, gender, and weight. If you have an autoimmune disease like inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or thyroid disease, be cautious. While they don't directly contribute to cirrhosis, they increase the risk of complications in other disorders that do lead to it. Heart disease is a risk factor for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis leading to cirrhosis. Furthermore, heart disease related to right-sided heart failure can cause liver congestion (nutmeg liver) and cardiac cirrhosis. Certain types of liver disease that cause cirrhosis have a pattern of genetic inheritance. Look at your family's medical history for diseases that put you at an increased risk for cirrhosis:  Hereditary hemosiderosis  Wilson's disease  Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency
Summary:
Think about how much alcohol you drink. Get tested for hepatitis B and C. Be aware of a correlation between cirrhosis and diabetes. Take your current weight into account. Know the risks from autoimmune and heart diseases. Examine your family history.
