If you’re in Australia, RM Williams is probably the highest quality domestically produced Chelsea boot. They can be resoled almost indefinitely, and they can even replace the elastic sides if they get worn out.

Go to your grocery store and ask for old boxes.

Costco carries it online as well I’m on years 4-5 of various Adirondack sets and a dining table and chairs for our deck in Connecticut - set out all year round in direct sun subject to snow and everything else - they still look great

Would buy again in a heartbeat

We did a kitchen remodel several years ago and bought a Miele dishwasher. At ~1800 USD, it was not inexpensive, but my wife and I routinely remark that it is one of the best purchases we've ever made. We run it at least once a day. It's solid, quiet, intuitive. The upper silverware rack is genius. The LED light inside sounds like a silly feature, but it is actually really nice.

No need for thanks I walked like seven steps , undid the liner a bit a just took a picture

The findmy AirPods feature has gotten an embarrassing amount of mileage

Ah, word!

Honestly I have no idea besides being an army engineer once he got restationed. I wish I could ask him all these questions but unfortunately he is no longer with us short of using a quija... even then knowing my uncle it would have to government approved

I"d have lost it 37 times by now...

Rad. Thank you!!!

Do you know what he did in Germany? Like others are pointing out it’s a non-standard item.

I’ve been issued non-standard uniforms for weird jobs, so I’m not inclined to automatically write you off, but it had to have been something unordinary

The Jotter in particular always has a way of ending back where it needs to be.

I’m not a pen guy but I love mine to bits.

From what he told me was given it when he was restationed in Germany for a time.

Many years ago I bought a Cross pen which had a “lifetime warranty”. It broke about 3 years later and they replaced it no prob. However that pen mechanism also broke and they told me they no longer honor warranties. Just not the quality product it used to be.

as you reqested

They do an aggressive, medium and mild model - all under AL13. The Medium is the most common but even the aggressive is mild compared to most razors on the market.

For shaving aggressive refers to the amount of the blade that’s exposed.

For this razor, the more aggressive model OP has is still milder than most other razors. It’s a bit of an outlier in that it’s extremely precisely machined exposing very little blade but is still able to give an excellent shave.

I have one and it is exceptionally comfortable. It’s the best shave I’ve ever had and I’ll never use anything else.

Edit - where does it say Aggressive Grey on OP’s pic?

I mean he might've bought it when he was in the service but that was never standard issue.

Darn tough replaces worn out socks.

My husband couldn't get behind using this to shave his head but I've really liked it for shaving my legs and armpits 👍👍

Need a quality razor and takes some practice to get the technique down.

It will take a bit longer than a cartridge blade shave but the comfort and quality of shave is sooo worth it.

I have the same Henson that OP has and it’s magnificent. A joy to shave with.

It’s expensive up front for a quality razor and you’ll need to buy replacement double edge blades but they’re probably about 10% the price or cartridge blades so in the long run it saves money. - decent blades where I am in the UK are about £3 for 5 blades

My biggest saving is with shaving gel/foam - you can get an ok brush for pretty cheap and a tub of basic soap like Arko or Cella is really cheap (im in UK it’s like £6-£7 so like $10) and lasts about 50 shaves easily.

I have a brass Kaweco Liliput, and it is an EDC workhorse for the past 2+ years. It's been through the wash a half dozen times now—I sometimes forget that it's clipped in my trouser pocket. The nibs are easily replaceable if you drop or damage it (or just decide you like a finer or bolder line). It takes international short cartridges (but doesn't have enough space for a converter). I use Mont Blanc Permanent Blue cartridges in it.

In the 100+ USD range, I can't say enough good things about the Lamy 2000.

i give ours away to customers at work if they ask lol, we are not supposed to tho! these look way better quality though
