Ok I don’t know if I can quite call it buy it for life YET, but I’ve have a Philips One Blade for about 4 years and it’s great. My wife kept stealing it to shave her legs and we ended up getting her one too. Long battery life. Waterproof (can use in shower), powers through hair, and fairly inexpensive.

Not sure if it’ll last a decade plus but I recommend it. Good luck with choice

It’s a long list. Items I have in my kitchen that I expect to never replace.

Staub/le creuset enameled cast iron Vintage and stargazer/field cast iron skillets Zwilling pro knives Victorinix knives Demeyere proline stainless steel fry pan Mauviel 250Ci skillet and sauté pan All clad d5 stainless steel De buyer crepe pan Lodge cast iron griddle and grill pan

Basically just don’t buy non-stick, but heavy cookware (best performance and durability in general anyways), and invest in at least 1 good chef knife.

I love G Shock watches. I just wish they had less words and writing all over them. They look like they are plastered with little signs explaining their features.

I have one that’s pretty minimal, but it took a long time to find and pick out. They are great watches.

I use the Peet Dryer original for my boot dryer, picked it up from tractor supply. Very very happy with it thus far. As far as why I use dish soap: it’s what Whites recommends. I’ll wash with a little dish soap and warm water, allow to dry for a full 24 hours, and then apply Obenauf’s Boot Oil. There’s tons of different methods and products for boot care, but I figured if anyone would know how to care for Whites boots, it’s whites. For the record, 2 years of my time wearing these boots to work was in a limestone mine doing field welding and heavy repair. They hold up.
