Reply to Hairbrush Brand that is BIFL? by [deleted]

Not all hairbrushes are comparable. Some people have to choose based on the type, material, shape, size, etc. Not all of them are manufactured by all the brands. Not all of them may be suitable for your hair type.

If you just want something that lasts a long time, a good quality wood comb will probably last forever.

It could be the tension spring or a dull blades. The blade will rust if you don't put it away free of moisture and with a small amount of oil. I use a blower / canned air to blow out all hair particles, oil, then blow off and wipe excess.

Personally I haven't been a fan of Wahl trimmers. Andis T Outliner is the tits.

Reply to Duvet recommendations that won't cause overheating? by chesapeake_ripperz

I would recommend a goose down duvet. I use it year-round and no sweating. Costco ( in Canada) is/was the source for fantastic Hutterite duvets, made with top quality cotton. There are various feather ‘lofts’ from light to super heavy arctic weights. A quality goose DOWN duvet will last for many years. Do some research and make sure the duvet has the registered ‘Goose Down’ label. Be aware that there must be a minimum of 80% down content before a duvet can be classed as a DOWN duvet. I hope this helps.

TI is functionally a tech company. There are plenty of companies out there that simply produce calculators with stagnant tech that do 90% of what people need a calculator for. The extra cost covers the last 10% and that's all R&D for batteries, software, and supporting platforms. Production of the device alone is likely much less than half the cost

I buy a lightweight cotton duvet that holds up well with no pilling and has the ties. It's also cool to touch like the cool side of the pillow is. Charter Club brand has many styles. The one I use below.

We have no idea. Hot and cold are personal metrics and my advice is literally useless. https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/comments/10c0snh/quality_bed_sheets/ will guide you on what the shell should be comprised of to avoid pills...with long staple cotton being the key. The rest is on you finding a thinner, less weighty and/or different material insert.

I once asked the barbers at ramstein air base what they used ages ago and they claimed they had to provide all their own equipment they just rented the space. Also claimed the equipment even commercial stuff ends up breaking fast as in you’re lucky to get 6 to 12 months out of an clipper before it burns out. That said for personal use I’m sure there equipment would last you 20 years. They use their clippers 8 plus hours a day.
