This is why I always buy Ames. They were the go to shovel company for the railroads during the 19th century and their quality still holds up today.

Checkout The Company Store. Been around forever, but would look for country of mfr.

And you can make or buy a paracord wrap for it to give it some grip and cushion

Most of them will shred cds, so probably soda cans. It'll take a toll on the shredder. Do you think burning the paint on the cans is a good idea?

You're going to spend more money in shredders than you make in aluminum. Just buy the aluminum. Most paper shredders won't shred paper for very long, much less aluminum cans.

Admittedly, I have not watched it. I may have to.

My father had a can crusher years and years ago that was manual in use. The problem is it didn’t really crush them for flatten them enough to be used in a cd type of shredding situation. I’m not sure how to get them that thin.

I will try to do them on warm hot

Awesome! Best of luck. I clean and dry mine thoroughly after each use. Open it up, rinse the blade, and wipe it dry (carefully). You can find blades online or even at target.

Honestly, safety razors are dirt cheap to make, and hard to mess up.So, yes, buy that $7 USD QShave, or the $9-$15 Baili or Weishi or Zomchi. When some no-name company decides to put out a safety razor out of nowhere, they're usually just buying one of these cheap Chinese razors, and they work fine.(Although probably made out of zamak, and not steel)

You’re pretty much gonna have to flatten the can to be able to run it through there in that situation with the CD shredder I’m thinking 🤔

I think Thrustmaster has swapable parts, but I can't comment on quality, have never used

You will be ingesting pesticides your entire life as has man since the dawn of time. Your first logical breakdown is assuming that pesticide ingestion is bad. You eat apples right? They contain arsenic. Are you going to ozone them to remove the arsenic? No? Why not...its legit poison! You have to realize that the dose is the poison and you consuming on a daily basis, an infinitesimal amount of dirt, pesticides, rodent feces, hair and all manner of unsightly items cause no harm.

Next item up for bid is the massive influx of Tiktok and other videos that show these items "removing pesticides" via ghetto ultrasonic cleaning, ozone generation, both or other quackery. What about herbicides though? Fungicides? Insecticides? Fertilizers? We not caring about other chemicals in the farming process? Will these cleaners remove surface contaminants? Yes. Can you do the same thing for $0 with a rag and a 15 minute water bath? Yes. The results will be the same within one standard deviation.

Now if you want to get one of these just to make your feel better even though its an ignorant purchase, great....go on with your bad self. There's no harm in ignorant purchases, heck some love getting nitrogen fills in their tires. But do so with open eyes. And zero of these products have any run-time worth a damn for us to discuss in this subreddit.

Merkur is a great brand. Don't know if they are on Amazon though

Came here to upvote this. ATH-M50x all the way.

That’s a tall order, sir. You may have up that price significantly.

Mueller brand wrist brace I was able to find mine locally. Wore them for at least a couple hours every day for more than a year. Washed with my laundry and hung dry. They're still going strong. They have a stiff wrist support that keeps the wrist from bending so your partner may need some time to adjust to the limited motion, but they have little to no padding and are very comfortable.

I worked 7 years at starbucks and now have my own bookkeeping business so I'm very careful with my wrists. As a side note - google median nerve stretches. The same nerve that gets pinched in the wrist also runs up the arm and shoulder. Those helped me not wear the braces as much.

Best of luck to you both.

You have to fluff them

Yeah lol, pricey stuff

When you hooked it up, did you turn the hot water back on? Cold water causes detergent staining.

The other cause is hard water, which can be mitigated by adding a bit of salt or backing soda to your wash.
