Edwin Jagger, Merkur, Mühle. These are the common quality brands. Brass, stainless steel are the most popular materials. Chrome plated usually. Never heard of Hensen. Don't buy razors from there. Buy a sample pack as stated before. See what works best. Good razor should outlive it's owner.

Merkur Futur MK 23C eight years and counting for me, says unavailable for the exact model but they have lots of different styles.

I’m active duty and the Osprey Farpoint has worked very well for me.

Are there any with replacable batteries?

Psh, your mom takes more loads in a year. Lol jk

I haven't used this brand, but it looks similar to an aluminum one I use. I've had that one for ten years and a got a vintage brass Gillette from eBay a while back that is easily from the 70's. The simple design (ie not a butterfly) should make sure it will last a while.

West Coast shaving has a blade sample pack so your son can figure out which double edge blades he likes. I'm partial to Gillette Silver blue myself.

I love my B&W Pi7

Oh yes!!!

I have 2 white ones and a blue one still going strong after 30 years. I use them for moving everything including laundry. (Cracked the bottom of my second blue one 5 years ago....dropped a load of firewood in it LOL).

What’s an iPod?

Just Apple IPhone

yeah I get that but some last far longer than others

Any decrease in battery life?

I've been using a safety razor for years. I don't have experience with many brands, but they're so simple that if they're made from decent materials and are cared for, they should last forever. Aluminum may oxidize over time but generally shouldn't affect functionality, I'd think. Personally, if I were buying a new safety razor, I'd probably go for brass or bronze but that's mostly an aesthetic choice.

What brand phone or device will they be used with?

It's also worth noting we are talking about electronics with batteries. Thehmyare not built to be BIFL or repairable.

I've purchased multiple osprey bags and had to use their warranty twice. It was amazingly easy each time.

Weirdly, and I might get downvoted, but the IKEA packing cubes (pink & blue set) have lasted me almost 10 years.

Continuous travel - short & long weekend trips, work travel, even used a few for my everyday gym bag in (I pack 1 week's worth of clothes so I don't forget anything in the morning at work). Still use them - except one set is now in my go bag for work travel. I'm really surprised how well it held up, I was originally testing them out to see if it's useful.

The only problem is I don't know if they still carry them because I think they like to discount items like these from time to time.

Staggering Ox?

I drink tea and mine has stained. Tried all sorts to try and clean it but nothing seems to work.

Thanks a lot!

We have a Waring Pro Double Belgian waffle maker. Granted, it only makes 2 at a time. We just throw them on a baking sheet in the oven as we make them (on low temp to keep them warm). Then everyone can still eat at the same time.

The answer is always restaurant supply stores, although your budget may not get bifl.

I use nylon hair bands. Think of the material of women's pantyhose but more dense. They are very stretchy, have rolled edges, NO metal to break your hair and they retain shape FOREVER they've never gotten stretched out on me. Even when wet and after years of use. I have very thick curly hair if that helps but my friends with thin hair love them also. Here's a link to the exact ones I use. Hope that helps!
