A Braun series 7.

traditional safety razor is the way to go!!! 😎

Once you've used a trad single blade razor you can't go back to pleb tier disposable.

@lonewolf19d @Attrition in the desert It's CHEAP too

Since we are on the topic of a great shave, I recently read this article and found a few great products through it. https://www.realmenrealstyle.com/best-shave-of-your-life/

OneBlade seems to be quite interesting. The quality and long term affordability of a safety razor with quality materials and engineering as well as the glide and flexibility of the better cartridge razors.

Brickell has natural products, no animal testing, and offers free sample kits.

I'll probably start using both products after I use up my current stuff.

@Matthias I've seen the OneBlade and have been interested in it... may have to pick one up for using in the field when i dont have time for my usual wet shave

Old fashioned safety razor and a good old fashioned wet shave 👌🏻

Anyone have experience with latex mattresses? Looking at Spindle

@apronandlace I purchased one about 10-11 years ago from Denver Mattress. It didn't breath well and retained more heat than I've ever encountered in a bed (I own a Tempur-Pedic now). The foam also began to have noticeable body impressions after a few years. Perhaps the technology has greatly improved since then, but I wasn't a fan.

This is a nice table but is it really worth $1,250? https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0725KFTBN/

All my furniture is quite cheap so I don't have much perspective on the issue

Ethan Allen is a good brand. The pricing seems inline with their other furniture. I assume this is meant to be a permanent piece?

@Ecarttev Yeah I was looking up what I could replace some of my current plastic furniture from kmart with. It would replace a 40 dollar fold up picnic table we have out in the living room. At these prices I might just squash any ideas of upgrading from my functional plastic furniture 😅

I feel you. I've got my eye on some "team 7" tables, but at this point it's aspirational.

You're metro area?

@Ecarttev yep. and part of the motivation for me to stick with cheap furniture is that since I rent where I live, cheap furniture makes it easier for me to move if part of that move involves throwing something out (and cheap furniture tends to be lighter in general). (And yes I'm embarassed this sounds like a gypsy.)

Hey, I'm with my parents still, saving up for a house. No judgement.

Smart! Glad to hear it 😁

I still use a fold-up table as a dining table; I just put nice tablecloths and a candle centerpiece, on it, and it looks nice.

Duct tape.

I've been trying out these bamboo toothbrushes...they're not bad! Each handle is numbered. Better for the environment than throwing out plastic ones. Supposedly bamboo has some anti-bacterial properties, too.

The first one is holding up very well, bristles included.
