I love all leather bags. Mine aren't fragile although you do have to condition them every now and then.

It also makes your teeth BIFL

Do they also sell an ANAL-B or just the ORAL-B?

Admittedly I haven't been in an actual store in years, but TJMaxx and such used to occasionally have Oxo containers for decent prices. I've also found some sets for cheap at random websites over the years. I only mention in case slightly lower prices would put them in the realm of affordablility - prices can vary a lot if you watch for a bit. The pop tops are a dream IMO, but yeah, still relatively expensive, so I have just a couple for things I use frequently.

For everything else I use large mason jars, have slowly accumulating glass latch jars (they pop up in thrift stores frequently and sometimes go on big sales in stores), and polycarbonate bins/buckets from restaurant supply. Highly recommend hitting up a restaurant supply store; they sell things meant to stand up to commercial kitchen abuse and it's often cheaper than what you'd find sold at Target or popular on Amazon or whatever.

I thought this sub was for things that don't break. Why is it only pictures of broken shit lately?

For reliability to price you’d have to consider the extra cost of electricity and water over that 20 year period. Even if you get 20 trouble free years, I think you will be paying a pretty substantial premium and using more resources.

I couldn't believe the mold buildup in my electric toothbrush after a few weeks and went back to traditional.

So basically the charger is BIFL? ;)

Don't throw it out, it could well be that just the battery needs replacing. You can do it with a soldering iron and a spare hour, just look up the replacement battery for your model and get that ordered and you're away.

I fixed my own last year that wasn't holding much charge and it's worked ever since.

If you have any issues then feel free to PM me I don't mind doing it for you if you're local or wanna pay for shipping it.

Yup it's had 17 new heads and 14 new handles.

We had 4 of those, one each for my wife and 2 kids. The kids moved out several years ago, and I don't know if they're still using them, but my wife and I kept using ours until this month, when my wife replaced them with Philips Sonicare brushes. I did NOT throw the Oral-B brushes away, because they both still work fine, so I'm keeping them as backups, and if necessary, with new heads, they'll be as good as new!

Andis masters, Oster 76, Wahl seniors are the 3 most mentioned here.

They're one and the same. You can buy both Braun and OralB toothbrushes, the Braun ones tend to be in "manly" colours and the OralB ones in "girly" colours, but that aside they are identical.

you change the head though right?

I made the change in 2015, still have the toothbrush, am in fact about to use it. Would 10/10 recommend!

Not sure why you're downvoted. It's a Braun. Says it on the device. The replacement head is oral b, but that's not the part we're talking about lasting 15 years.

I believe it's a repro of an artillery blanket- Civil War artillery had red trim (generally speaking), cavalry had yellow trim.

Worst electric toothbrush is Quip. That thing does not remove plaque or tartar at all.

Second this. Boyfriend has two bags from them collected over a few christmases over the years. They only break in, never wear out. He’s five years in to one of the bags and I don’t think he’ll need to replace it until he retires (currently in his 20s), he loves it.

That's a brAun.

Curious what kind of oil you use with yours?

If you’re looking for a replacement, I went from OralB to the Sonicare DiamondClean and really love the change.

Battery powered vs electric?

I bought a great Wahls clipper set at Costco. Still going 15 years later
