I would recommend watching this video before you buy a dashcam.

Dashcams are a GREAT idea and something absolutely everyone should have IMO. But don't fall for the scam of thinking there is all that much in terms of quality difference based on brands. Most of them are more similar to each other than not, and the only real differences are in form factors, features and software.

I can recommend dorco or shark blades. Amazing japanese blades for straight razors. But there are some adjustable razors for the single blades that easen shaving. And you have to play with shaving soap.

Get something mains powered. Not some Oneblade that has a built in battery that is not designed to be user replaceable. I am sure you can replace it if you are inclined to rip it open and possibly mess about with soldering - but that isn't really the idea of BIFL.

While it may be a good razor (I know people really like them) those lith batteries do not last, hardly BIFL when you are going to be replacing blades once a month and dealing with battery degradation after 12 months.

I'm really happy with my Thinkware F800 front/rear camera setup having had their F770 for around 5 years with zero problems before that. I've had many makes since they first came out and Thinkware has been the most reliable... it just works! Great quality picture day and night and a nice compact camera. Not the best known brand out there, but look them up and read the reviews. Btw I also invested in a battery pack to leave it on when vehicle parked up to catch parking bumps (it saves flattening main battery)

I use a combination. A good and is or Wahl trimmer and a norelco for the smooth shave when needed. I have sensitive skin and don’t do well with the razor.

I installed https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09LC93W66/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 a few months ago. 30 minute install, and it's worked great. Small enough that I can hide it behind the rearview mirror. There's a YT video walking you through the install steps that's very helpful.

Lane was made in USA of solid wood as recently as a few years ago and may still be. Bassett is slso decent. Upscale would be Stickley, Thomas Moser.

2nd what was said earlier, give safety razors a shot.

It takes some practice to get everything right, like my first 3 or so shaves were kinda bad but once I got the hang of it I'll never go back.

You can get a legit set up for the same price any decent electric trimmer and it'll last forever, only needing to buy soap and blades for the rest of ever (both are cheap).

If you decide to stick with a trimmer, I've had good luck with a BaByliss that my barber recommended, but it doesn't get as close as I'd like.
