A few years ago I hooked up with a somewhat younger women. Anyway, she found my clock radio hilarious. All she could do was giggle at it and remark that she didn't know people still use them.

Also visit your local antique shops! I use to collect, restore, and sell vintage safety razors, at one point I had 80 razors with probably 70 at least being vintage and I had only one razor out of all that with an issue I couldn’t fix, basically all of them just needed a good cleaning, maybe a little oil if they’re mechanical. Personally I got rid of all my double edge razors and now only use injector razors, ones I like are from 1950’s and on. Supply razors make a modern injector razor that’s pretty awesome too for not too much

The latex pillows do come as "firm".
Look on Amazon, lots of them there.

Can confirm this is true but the shave is 20x better so I guess it’s worth it.

In a decade or so when my 6c needs to be replaced I’ll hopefully be in a spot to justify something like this.

Worth noting that model isn’t adjustable

From what I understand, they are reaching the ear, but there is noise being applied on the opposite spectrum to cancel the noise out? Think of sound as a wave in a graph, it goes up and down. From my understanding active noise cancelling is just seeing where that graph is and playing(?) A sound the opposite of that exact wave lenght and therefore canceling it out? So you don't hear it . I may be completely off here this is just what was explained to me and until this second I took it as well okay that's how that works.

I have 100% latex pillows and I sleep every which way. That's the best thing about natural latex pillows, no matter what position you're in they mold to your head and neck like they're customized just for you. Not the molded or pre-shaped kind. Not a hybrid. 100% Talalay or Dunlop latex.

Holy shit, my ma still has the exact same one in her bedroom.
I think she bought it in the late 90's I think. Had another ancient one before it.

I had one that was also a phone. It was my Cradione.

Wet shaving. What you save in paying for cartridges, you will eclipse tenfold buying brushes, razors, soaps, creams, aftershaves, and more!

My cube from the early 90s is fully functional and being used in my spare room right now. It was my daily alarm clock as a kid.

Also came here to suggest Stormy Kroger. They are made in America too.

It’s because the action is imprecise, and hence blade gap is uneven. For such expense I expect better at that critical spot.

I tried this but not a fan. Timeless Ti with 95 blade gap is the way to go for the same price IMO. That is BIFL.

The Avocado Molded Latex Pillow is great. We’ve had them for a couple of years and have been very happy.

Reply to comment by Dessedence in Latex pillow recommendations for side sleeper by claireofthehills
Thank you. I’ve considered it but read a review saying it may not be lofty enough for side sleepers. Are you a side sleeper?
“However, I found this pillow may be too soft for side sleeping. Side sleepers may need a firmer pillow to maintain good neutral alignment in their spine. Because this pillow is so soft and forgiving, it may not support a side sleeper’s head and neck enough to prevent discomfort.”
