Boys start growing facial hair after entering adolescence, and they usually start shaving to look more smart and tidy. The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration put a post on its “TFDA safe use of cosmetics” Facebook page explaining things to bear in mind when buying shaving products, along with the correct way to shave.
Five pointers for buying shaving products
Point 1: Choose products that are properly labeled.

Point 3: Use the product correctly in accordance with the instructions for use.
Point 4: Keep the product package and instructions for ease of reference.

Point 5: If you experience any allergic reaction such as redness and swelling after use, you should immediately stop using it and promptly seek medical attention.
Four steps for shaving
Step 1: Wash your skin: Start by cleaning away any grime or grease off your face to clear the way for a smooth shave.
Step 2: Apply a wet compress: Use a hot towel as a wet compress for around 30 to 60 seconds on the area to be shaved.
Point 3: Start shaving: Start from your cheeks, then shave your sideburns and neck with a gentle, slow action. When doing this you can apply some shaving liquid, shaving cream or shaving foam for an even smoother shave.
Step 4: Protect your skin: Wash and dry the shaved area and apply an appropriate amount of shaving products to keep your skin from getting dry and rough, so as to make your next shave clean and comfortable, as well as keeping your skin moisturized.
Is it true that the more you shave your beard, the coarser it gets?
The Food and Drug Administration says that the thickness of a hair depends on the size of the pore it grows out of. It says that your beard looks coarser after you shave it because when you shave you cut off the thinner bit at the tip of each hair, leaving the cross-section, which looks thicker. So the impression that the more you shave your beard, the coarser it gets is actually an optical illusion.

四步驟剃鬍密技
第一步、清潔肌膚:先將臉部髒污及油脂清除乾淨,刮鬍時順暢不阻礙。
第二步、濕敷部位:用溫熱毛巾濕敷剃鬍部位約三十到六十秒。
第三步、開始剃鬍:從臉頰開始,再剃兩鬢、脖子,動作輕柔慢,這裡可以搭配剃鬍水、剃鬍膏、剃鬍泡沫讓剃鬍更順暢!
第四步、保護肌膚:將剃鬍後的部位清潔乾淨,適度塗抹剃鬍產品,避免肌膚乾澀,之後剃鬍子時才能乾淨舒服又保濕。
鬍子會越刮越粗到底是真的嗎?
食藥署說明,毛髮的粗細大小,在於毛囊的大小,刮完鬍子後,視覺上看起來會變粗,是因為刮鬍子時,將頂端較細的部分切除,橫切面看起來就會比較粗,所以鬍子會越刮越粗,其實是視覺上產生的錯覺。

A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang As with many aspects of Japanese culture, there is etiquette to follow when you enjoy noodles. To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
