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.

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。

Few sea creatures of their size have as much destructive power as pistol shrimp. These small animals, usually measuring around four centimeters long, produce shock waves that can stun or even kill their prey. The attack begins when the shrimp opens its specialized claw, allowing water to fill a chamber inside. Then the claw closes rapidly. A bump on the claw strikes the chamber, forcing the trapped water out through a narrow opening at a high speed of about 25 meters per second. The rapid movement forms a bubble in the water that collapses almost instantly under the pressure of the

Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang One way to monitor marine biodiversity is to send divers down to take photos and notes; however, this method is expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes risky. On coral reefs, noise is an indicator of a healthy seabed. This is largely thanks to pistol shrimp, which often live inside sea sponges on coral reefs. The healthier the reef, the more pistol shrimp it hosts. This makes them perfect biological indicators. However, counting them visually is tricky because they often stay hidden. To address this, scientists turn to sound. Pistol shrimp snaps are loud, short, and rich in energy. They stand out
