I’m also a one blade user I’ve had mine for five years so far and no issues.

GE made awesome stuff in the 1980s.
What about giving it a good brushing and cleaning to spiff it up? Especially brush out those parallel ridges on the top. They collect everything.

I have a very expensive pen. I use big words quite often in substitution for semantically equivalent words.

Why don’t you try Remington? I’ve been using my shaver for several years and it’s still kicking with no performance issues. Close shave, great battery life.

Reply to Sofa/Sectional - not crazy expensive by srajeevan89
inside weather Bondi sectional. A little on the expensive side, but we did a couch, loveseat and ottoman for under $5k. Had about a year so far, has stood up very well to a large dog and a cat. We got ours in a velvet; has handled dirt and spills very well, couldn't be happier with it.
EDIT: Just checked prices, and they've gone up a bit since we got ours. May not be as good a value currently.

Yeah, I did not know that until you said it. This makes a huge difference because the shipping is not cheap when you consider the price of the original pair of socks

I also have grip6, they are great also but again like darn tough you have to pay shipping to get them replaced. That’s why I like cloudline so much. Just sent them a picture and description of what’s wrong with your order number and they send you a new pair for free.

Not sure if this helps but walmart in the US has some surprisingly good quality saucepans that fit that bill exactly. They’re around $40 which is pricy for Walmart but they’re on par with pans I’ve bought for more than twice that. I want to say tfal is the manufacturer. Stainless pot with a stainless and glass lid.

Great to know. I own neither, but I want to switch from my regular socks to these with a lifetime warranty (Dart Tough, Cloudline, Grip 6, Feetures, etc)

Pilot!! I also recommend trying fountain pens, cheaper ones are still just as nice and you can just refill the ink into a converter, no more cartridges. The ink is non-permanent usually, but you can buy ones that are.

Darn tough are a tight fit for me, cloudline is snug but not overly. They are perfect for me. Customer service is amazing also.

Tactile Turn and Big Idea Designs make great pens. But I usually end up carrying my Fisher Space Pen otherwise I drive people nuts fidgeting with the first two I mentioned.

German army para boots. I guarantee they will be the most comfortable place you have ever put your feet. Edit, they also last for years.

I really like my Caran D’Ache 849. Lightweight and writes smoothly.

Lamy Safari or Pilot Metro. I’ve used both, prefer the grip of the Lamy but like the aesthetic of the Pilot more. r/fountainpens will serve you well.

Buy a Parker Jotter and use a space pen pressurised refill with adapter. $20 all in.
MrBirchumm t1_jd9pz9l wrote
Parker makes great pens. Can’t even remember what I paid, maybe in the $25-60ish range.

Waterman pens. Look far more expensive and write very well. You can swap out G2 rollerball for waterman RB, not ball point
