It’s known that sneezing is a reflex to prevent dust or nose hairs or whatever from getting down into the lungs, but why do people and animals sometimes get hiccups? What function does that serve, and what causes them?
Also, bonus points for any random useful tips on how to make hiccups go away…
Now that does sound rather unusual and annoying. I’ve never experienced or heard of that happening either, but I don’t doubt you.
Have you tried testing between handheld razors vs motorized beard trimmers? Maybe one or the other might be less likely to cause you that… 🤷♂️
I’ve always used electric shavers, as I greatly prefer not having to deal with constantly buying replacement blades for the more traditional kind. I’ve had my suspicions that maybe the vibration has something to do with it, but I’ve no idea how it would do so.
I hear you there about having to regularly purchase blades for the more modern razors, but have you considered trying a safety razor? I use one regularly, and not only are the blades super cheap, they’ll also last you quite a long time if properly cleaned and dried off right after each use.

I’ve vaguely heard of them but not really looked into what makes them different from any other conventional razor. I might consider trying one I suppose.
Well, although the safety razor mechanism itself tends to cost quite a bit more than conventional modern razors, the blades for safety razors are far cheaper, last a lot longer, and are easy to clean and take care of.
Modern razor cartridges are more expensive, clog up with hair a lot faster, and are actually designed to be thrown away after just a use or two. That’s where they’re making their money these days, selling disposable cartridges.
On the other hand, I can get a pack of 5 double edge safety blades from Dollar Tree, and as long as I keep it clean and dry after each use, just one blade can last me a whole year or even more!
But anyways, that’s been my experience with them anyways. I’ll admit that I don’t shave every day though, so here’s a review video about safety razors…
