Nah, Vitamix blender.

 

It makes a Dualit toaster look cheap.

 

👍 My second guess was going to be a Gaggenau wall oven.

That's definitely diminishing returns. This was replacing a $75 Kambrook blender with half the motor mounts broken and smelt like it was going to catch on fire everytime we used it.

I'm over buying cheap junk for stuff we use a lot. This was stupid money but it turns ice into powder so I think it'll do the job for many years.

Our kichenaid stand mixer has been some of the best money we've ever spent, I hope this lasts the same.

Know what you mean. Our second 6-yo Russell Hobbs 4x toaster (first one, same model, was replaced under warranty) is sort-of OK but toasts unevenly because two elements burn hotter than the other two.

Have had extended experience in recent years with Dualit toasters in home-exchange houses we have stayed in. They’re quirky in operation but once you get used to them, they’re really great and of undeniable quality and repairability. We do want one - but don’t necessarily need one. 

It’s a moot point whether we should wait until the RH fails - or just bite the bullet and get a Dualit. Then I’d feel guilty about what to do with the old one.

That I no longer look like a massacred piggy in the face after changing my shaving approach. Yes, it's the very simple things.

 

 

Share your secret?

 

I will say that I took advice from this forum years ago and have never looked back. For years I used Gillette razors and for years I tore my face to shreds as they only seemed to remain sharp for a week then went as blunt as hell. I just put it down to my sensitive skin and figured it was the same for all guys. Then someone on here mentioned that they'd switch from Gillette to Schick razors and couldn't believe the difference so I gave it go. What a difference, I will never go back to Gillette razors again.

 

Old-school safety razor. Why try to improve on perfection.

There are many out there, all with slightly different angles. With a fresh blade (Feather blades made in Japan are recommended) it so smooth that it often feels like there is no blade in there at all, yet all the hair is gone.

Cheap too - after the initial purchase of the handle ($40 - $80) the blades are a few cents each and last for ages.

I made a great discovery last week at the bottom of a box of old photos and junk - my Grandad's Gillette razor from during his time during the war in Burma. A fresh blade popped in, and it's one of the smoothest, closed shaves I've ever had.

Wow....that bought back memories of using them and the NE556 Dual version in their heyday!

Good old analog timer chip …

I suspect just because of the plastic handle.

No plastic, you can buy a leather sleeve to use on the steel handle though🙃!

I've made an oogoo handle for my cast iron fry pan. All the benefits of cast iron, and you can use the handle without burning yourself.

I just use these for my iron cast pans, whereby the shorter handle is firmly cast with the pan.

These recognised, reputable comparison platforms, which, after entering the location (because of the network connection conditions), compare all relevant ISPs, mobile providers, electricity providers, gas providers, insurances and various other things seriously and also take into account the current special discounts. Just don't be lazy and let the contracts run beyond their end date, but 50% cheaper internet over the term is almost always possible.

Now I even get an additional monthly discount because I will have the internet under contract with my electricity provider at the same time and have had good experiences with their service so far. And he also has cheap contemporary IT and smart equipment in his online shop. A modern general store … „because it has electrolytes.“ 😄
