I also do this! I MUST sit cross legged. I can't help myself. I'm a super fidgety sitter. I don't know if this is within your budget but I've had a pipersong meditation chair for several months. It has been great! It is pretty expensive for an office chair but it has so many possible sitting positions and unlike other meditation style chairs it has a back!

So haven’t tried one, but eyeing one for years are these Soul Seats. Maybe you’ve seen them already. Happy hunting

I have not but it’s hideous to me haha. I know looks aren’t everything but if I am paying a ridiculously overpriced chair it better look decent.

I have a pair of Knox gloves that are bulletproof. Love them.

I've used these knives before. They are the best and easiest pairing knife to use. Not too sharp that you'll cut yourself, and not too dull that you can't peel an apple. The exact right size handle allows proper handling and helps prevent hurting yourself, too (when you're drawing the knife toward you to peel).

I bought a $50 pair of oyster. Don't know the brand. But I keep them oiled and they last. That's the key: maintenance!

This is the answer. I've been using Oster Classics for almost 20 years (and home and doing friends/family/co-workers) and they've never skipped a beat.

I've had Wahl, I've had Remington, and I've had some others. Entry-level models and they all broke down fairly easily, would overheat, and had cheap plastic hardware.
The main thing is just not to buy entry-level models. The best "cheap" one I've had was the Remington HC5850. Easy to clean out the blade section from hair and a much better (and more compact) design than others.
The Wahl Professional 5-Star would be a better choice for BIFL, though.

Oster pivot motor clippers. Classic series.
More expensive, but the magnetic motor clippers most other brands use do not last long at all.
Basically you want a pair of commercial clippers designed for a barber to use, not simply residential use.
Once every 5 years or so. You can spend $10 to mail the blades for sharpening, learn how to clean/maintain it and they should last you forever.
You may need a detailer clipper as well depending on what you're doing with the hair.

Odin Mfg. Make quality gear (not found on Revzilla or Cyclegear), or Icon Hypersport (my personal favorites, that keep getting STOLEN).

Andis Professional Cordless Fade Combo
I got this a couple of years ago and use it weekly. Definitely recommend.

Have you seen the new 'Hair Kippers'. They seem quality.

Wahl. I've had mine for so many decades that I don't remember how long ago I bought them.
VanCityBrodie t1_j0bybe5 wrote
Without a doubt the Wall 5 star clipper and Andis T precision trimmer. I’ve had them for 7 years and they show no sign of slowing down. You just have to clean and lubricate them consistently. My barbers have always used them and my current barber has had them for 10 years and uses them all day every day.

I’ve had my Oster Fast Feed Clippers for over a decade. Still going strong and would buy again if I needed.

Professional here. Good recommendation. Agree more with the maintenance. As long as you treat them well they should absolutely last one user a lifetime.

Held phantoms and BMW GS gloves. Both have lasted me for a long time and I commute and tour with them. Maybe causal but both of them are made with roo Leather

I feel like this would be more suited to a motorcycle sub.

Zero people can help you with this question as its personal. Will you like the movie Dune? Will you like REO Speedwagon's 1984 album Wheels Are Turnin'? Will you enjoy the American presentation of the Greek dish Saganaki to the European version?
No one knows.
And even if your stunt double were to appear, guess what? Their advice would likely be the Bizarro Superman advice as 5'3", 155lb Tim from Sweetwater, KS tells you the Fern is an chair shaped iron maiden. Tim fails to mention he has spinal lordosis though. Thanks Tim!
You did exactly what you should do, you ordered both...you will fit test both....you will send one or both back. You are adulting right, quit second guessing yourself.
