The one I bought 3-4 years ago says both Braun and Oral B on the handle.

Mommesilk, all season duvet. It’s silk filled with a cotton cover. On Amazon it’s about $150-ish for a queen. Has 6 loops to tie the cover down.

Mine has gotten softer after a few years. I have had it dry cleaned twice. Not really itchy now. May have been a little itchy at first.

Probably a little bit. Nothing keeps warm like wool and cashmere though.

i can talk a bit about this. i have a 10 year costco one and a recent costco one.
only the more expensive ones have bluetooth. not even the costco one does.
the motor and the control for it is certainly updated. the two power settings are much more extreme than the old one. the low is much lower and the high is higher. gum care mode is dumb and i don't care. they exist on both.
the new one has a pressure sensor, which may or may not be useful. it's gonna be a bad shock to you to find out you've always brushed too hard.
the new one has an rfid reader that alerts you to change your brush head. this is really useful to me, not because i can't count. i use it to verify the brush head's authenticity. i use g3 heads which are not cheap so i gamble on amazon and or ebay. 20cad per head is not something i'd like to pay.

Basically what happened here. The plastic just couldn’t withstand my hand oils i guess.

Wow good for you! Dropped mine and month or two later the metal rod the brush is on fell out. Congratulations to you on it lasting so long!

Is this toothbrush an Oral B? It says Braun on it.

Lol yea we recently bought our first ones- and tbey all come with Bluetooth now. It has a connection to an app that tells you how good your coverage is, if you are pressing too hard etc. all in all, I used it for maybe 2 months. It lost its novelty. The brush pulses 3 times when you reach the 2 min mark anyways.

I have a Norelco Sonicare and the white plastic is yellowing bad. Doesn’t affect the performance, just looks dirty all the time. I’ve even bleached it before and it just keeps on looking dingy.

Reply to comment by HeyJoe459 in looking for electric clippers. I had a buzzer and it lost a few years but it recently broke and I'm looking to buy another. by levoniust
I think I have a Wahl 5 star detailer, and I feel like I'm electrocuting myself. I don't think it's an actual electrical issue, but it is painful; oil doesn't seem to matter, I don't think it's a blade sharpness issue (I don't use it very often because of this). Do you have any obvious tips or tricks - things that I could check out? Thanks in advance!

Just disinfect them with some isopropyl alcohol or half bleach/half water.

I have a Sonicare like this, I bought it in 2007. Just keep buying new brush heads. The battery refuses to die. My dentist is like, why don't you buy a new one with bluetooth, like why does my toothbrush need bluetooth 😂

I switched to sonicare two weeks ago that hollow oral b head grows mold and is too difficult to clean.

It’s a toothbrush with rubber bristles that vibrates.

I regret buying Quip. It's a toothbrush that vibrates. It stays in my travel bag.

I bought one a month ago. I dropped it once and it stopped working. Not too impressed.
