What product do you swear by? (lemmy.world)

I never thought Id be excited for a garbage can, but after going through multiple plastic cans and having the lid mechanism fail on cheaper metal cans, I broke down and got a more expensive one from Simple Human. I feel the quality everytime I use the step to toss something. It sounds so dumb, but I'm really blown away after years of crappy cans.

Aside from that, my python water changer for aquariums. That thing has been the goat for years at this point.

I have a few. Bose noise canceling EarPods. Bosch power tools. Ford cars. Gillette Mach 6 (or is it 5?). It looks like I may consume a lot; in fact these help me to consume much less.

    Ford cars feels like a hot take. Seems like they're issuing a deluge of recalls on their vehicles right now, no?

    Can I ask what specifically has you beaded in on them as the specific car brand to swear by?

    I have over the years driven many company cars, Volvos, land rovers, and ford-galaxy, -focus, -transit, -and now an EV mache. Of all these cars, ford was the most reliable and best in service.

    I will agree I have been very impressed with the ford transit vans I have driven. I also have a buddy with a Mach-E....and he won't shut up about how great it is.

    That said my.primary experience was doing home mechanic work on a trio of 90/00's era explorers and an 80's era 3/4 ton pickup. Was definitely underwhelmed with my experience working on/with those.

    I don't think I'd want to own one (mostly since I still do my own maintenance as much as I can), but as a rental/company vehicle, yeah, I could see those being workable.

    I would like to advocate for straight razors instead of any brand name proprietary razor head.

    Straight blades cost almost nothing and it takes about 5 shaves to get the hang of it, but I cannot go back to the Gillette ones now.

    For me it’s the other way around, perhaps it is beard dependent? Sure, the Gillette ones are more expensive, but with one unit I can shave daily for a month (so very cheap/sustainable), it is a very thorough shave and… never any cuts (important for me, as I have patient-facing role).
