I've got one of these in black, also 30+ years old, still works and it's been used everyday since I was 8 years old. My grandma gave it to me for Christmas, she's long gone now but that alarm clock still works. Some of the buttons are starting to get a little unresponsive, but I'm keeping it until it breaks.

I agree. It was a joke

Adjustable is what sense? Is it telescopic (extends) or something else?

Isn't that the Rolex specific alloy? It's dogshit. Designed and chosen for it's distinct "luster", it scratches like crazy. Folks over at the r/Rolex sub will tell you that they baby the crap out of their subbies/GMTs/explorers and oysters only to have scratches magically appear all over the place all the time. Probably not as much of an issue for something like a razor, but you also don't need exceptional glamor and shine from something as utilitarian as a razor.

I started out with a Merkur 34c. Awesome razor

Does it sound like a tesla coil when it's walking you up?

I had one of these as well lmao. It’s incredible.

For anyone not s#itting money - there’s the German Mühle and Merkur. They have good standards and even the cheapest models starting at 25-30€ have great quality and will in normal use last for a couple of lifetimes.

Stormy Kromer or Filson Mackinaw

This really works!

Oh man that’s a nostalgia blast lol.

We’re ‘shipping Sony here

I had one of the early Discman that got sat on hard and it couldn’t pick the disc up enough to spin it without scraping but if you turned that fucker upside down it would still play without skipping on the school bus

I don't know why but I've usually had great luck with my Sony electronics. To the point where you'd assume I'm a fanboy (I probably am).

I've got a handme down selection of hifi equipment from the 80s, my atrac walkman and mp3 walkman from the 00s, a laptop from 09, tv from 13, Bluetooth headphones from 18. All still working.

Their phones have been hit and miss but no worse than any other I've owned I guess and they still give you an SD card slot and headphone jack so until there is an alternative I will stick with them

Funny that they called their clock radios "dream machines" when it was really their job to end your dreams...

I had a black one that I was very upset having to throw it out. The internal battery must've started to go bad as it would start it's alarm at random times during the day. Thing was 20+ years old. Couldn't figure out how to open it without causing external damage and couldn't find the same one. I recently bought the updated "cube" model but don't like it as much as this one!

Sony late 90s electronics are like nuclear bomb proof

If it ain't broke...

I have the same one. Fucker won't die!

Very hefty price tag. It’s a luxury item for sure. The models plated in precious metals are even more outrageous. I have the base SS model here and was lucky to get 25% during their Black Friday sale

The cost is mainly due to the piece being produced entirely in the US. I believe 10 pieces make up this razor, each of which (with the exception of the spring inside) are CNC machined from solid billets of steel. I imagine labor is a large factor in determine the MSRP, as well as the tolerances the final product is held to. Additionally, many other adjustable razors are made using cast zinc alloy. Zinc can last a while, but once the plating (usually chrome) is compromised, it will corrode rapidly. I’ve had a couple lost to the host metal decaying over time. Usually the threads in the top cap begin decaying first. Many zinc alloy razors go for around ~$30-$60, and can last a while (which I think is still a good investment). However I believe that if I continued in that route, the cost of all the zinc alloy razors would eventually overtake the cost of this piece. Machined material offers superior grain structure compared to cast material which translates to overall durability. Fit and finish is immaculate. As for performance, this is a SUPER efficient piece. here is a video of a man practically wiping heavy growth off of his face. In my experience, this piece allows you to have a mild or aggressive shave without sacrificing the efficiency depending on the setting it is at. To me, it performs above all the other razors I have used and owned. It’s a nice feeling to know that I can execute a comfy shave with no hassle or clogging regardless of how much hair is on my face.

It definitely is a pricey piece, and I was lucky to be able to scoop one up during their Black Friday sale which kind of helps.

Got one in 1998. It still looks and works like it's brand new. It's still on my night table so I can see what time it is when I wake up in the middle of the night but occasional power failures have made the alarm unreliable. Use my Cell phone for that.

I cannot justify the price tag...that is some king type shit

Singlehand. Just carried my basic tools and TIG Rig.

It looks like the standard model is $150 which seems reasonable for a made in the US, lifetime warranty, non chromed stainless steel product of this quality.
