I actually liked Factor and heard about it from a podcast. It worked really well for me but I didn’t keep it more than a few months because it is so expensive. If I lived alone or made more money I’d do it again.
Might be placebo for some, but I really liked Beam Dream. It really helps me to fall asleep quickly and keeps me sleeping until morning without the groggyness of just melatonin. It is pretty pricey though so I only buy it when the site offers me discounts.
What are the active ingredients?
They use melatonin too, in combination with other ingredients, I think that makes the trick. You can check their site for the full list as I don’t remember them all.
Looks like legit ingredients, but it is expensive
I bought a safety razor after an in video ad from a YouTube channel I watch.
It came with a bonus extra set of blades.
It is my first safety razor and I’m loving it. Disposables are a sucker’s game. I knew it for years, but I only finally took the plunge. Totally worth it.
Literally close to a factor of 100 cheaper than disposable blade razors. It’s flat out crazy anyone shaves any other way.
And for 40 bucks you can buy a shave ready vintage straight razor and never need to buy another razor again. Then, spend 20 bucks on an ok strop to keep it shave ready for a year.
In the other hand, the copays for emergency room visit after you slice half your face off add up very quickly.
My grandfather used a straight razor for years, and every time he ended up with sticking plaster somewhere on his face. It’s just so easy to get an angle wrong somewhere, and so fast to slice–and incredibly aggressive compared to almost all safety razors–that it’s not worth it for most people.
I’ve used one for years and never cut myself. It’s super easy to use if you just use common sense
*if you have unusually steady hands and good focus. FIFY
Idk how you couldn’t focus with a blade pressed against your face
Yeah, sometimes it’s hard to believe that people are different from each other
Is it the Leaf razor? I heard about it through Future Proof and I’m absolutely satisfied with the shave, much closer than the plastic razors I used to use before and lasts much longer
Not the Leaf. It’s a Henson.
I now also have a 50 year old safety razor of my grandfather’s. The depth on the exposed blade is smaller for the Henson, which does keep it from flexing and reduces the chance of cuts.
I usually get about 4-5 shaves from a blade, which costs me $0.10 each.
I also don’t throw away plastic like you do with disposables and cartridge systems. Just good old fashioned rusty steel that goes into a used razor box.
I have to disagree but only on the level of the non-disputable logic that a years worth of shaving with a sharp blade for less than or at least equal to $30 is possible without factoring in the membership fee ($100/year total including with membership fee lol) is at least as good value and =< greater efficacy
There’s just no way thats cheaper than what I’m referring to but I’m open to being wrong
Membership fee? For shaving?
To get access to the shaving product to buy. Super cheap hotdogs 😜
You can buy safety razors without subscriptions
Touche
Henson razor (really the handle) is 75 dollars up front, that’s on the expensive side. The thing lasts as long as you don’t lose it. Name brand blades are $15 for 100 blades on Amazon. A blade lasts anywhere from 2 days to a week of daily shaving.
No membership fees, and the cost of the handle can be divided over several years.
Edit to correct the pricing of the Henson from $60 to $75
Have you used a Henson razor? Is it worth it over other safety razors?
I’m not a great source because Henson is the first safety razor I’ve owned/used, so idk how other brands are.
I can say it is overbuilt in a good way, because it has survived multiple falls in a tub and porcelain sink, has hung out in the shower getting wet and slowly drying repeatedly in a humid environment, and still functions perfectly. The blades rust, but the aluminum razor and whatever they made the central screw out of hasn’t rusted after more than a year.
Might have to look into that👀 although i buy many other things that make me save my money with said membership besides just razors. Still may investigate :)
Buying things to save money?
There are probably alternatives to everything in that membership that fill the purpose of each item and outlast the subscription items, therefore ending up costing less in the long term.
Edit: From other comments, I take it you’re talking about more than a shaving subscription membership. That’s different
I love my slant safety razor. It’s best to get a sample pack of blades to find what works for your skin. I love the Astra platinum.
I’ve been using a Merkur Futur for nearly a decade now. I need to buy new blades about once a year, maybe, and they cost about $20. Shaving soap lasts nearly as long as a pack of blades, and a shaving stone (alum salts, for closing pores back up after shaving) is a couple bucks and lasts years.
Picking the right blades can be a challenge. I’m lucky that super sharp blades work well on me.
I should try a shaving stone. That sounds like a great upgrade to my kit.

Squarespace. Works pretty well for my needs tbh.
Not crazy about their CEOs slave mentality
Was not aware of this. Explain.
I have a groove belt. It really is as advertised. A true BIFL belt. Even has a lifetime guarantee without restrictions. I could send in the one I have now just to get a different color if I wanted.
Raycon earbuds. Use them everyday for work, decent wireless earbuds, would recommend.
The Stuffler waffle maker and whatever can opener I have.
Thanks Tyler!
I’ll say it, Blue Chew. Never really had a problem getting hard but it takes my partner a lot longer to get off than me, so I wanted to make sure I could last long enough for them. No regrets, great decision.
Runner up is a Purple mattress. We tried soooo many mattresses and couldn’t find one we truly liked. My partner suggested trying Purple. I was first against it because I felt like it was just marketing but agreed because of their return policy and we’ve gone through sooo many mattresses at that point. It ended up being our favorite by far and kept it.

Not exactly an explicit ad, but more a product I heard about from an infomercialesque “review” for the PCPanel.
It was a cheap gadget that addressed a shortcoming I was experiencing. It works well and I use it every time I use my computer.
Aside from the official software being mid, I love my PCPanel! It’s better with the community 3rd party software.
I kinda like Magic Spoon cereal. It sticks to your teeth and has artificial sweetener (allulose) but it’s pretty tasty and very low carb and comes in lots of fun flavors. I currently have the Fruit Loops flavored one. Was all over youtube a while back.

Same. I love the idea, but bro… That’s a lot of cheddar per loop.
deleted by creator
Yes, it does indeed taste like Froot Loops, for better or worse.
I eat it with half and half… I only have a small bowl, and not very often, but yeah… it’s a sometimes treat.
Does it have anything to do with you farting glitter, though? I could be into that.
I’ve tried several boxes, even bought a couple of their fancy iridescent spoons!
IMHO the cereal is okay, but I love the spoons lol
What do you eat it in (milk-wise)? I recommend no sugar added coconut milk
Didnt realize it was allulose altho i just dont know if they would ever be economical pour moi
My Hansen razor, bought it over a year ago because the cheap plastic safety razor got too annoying to use and I remembered the ad.
Didn’t spend extra for the titanium version and got the aluminium instead.
It’s not my main way of shaving since I bought an electric shaver few months ago to do it in less than 5 minutes in the morning, but I have kept it for when I want to actually get everything shaved and the large pack of blades should last me a decade with my usage
I saw a video going over atheletic greens and it was a pretty subpar supplement.
I’ve heard raycons are way overpriced.
I asked gamersupps support if it’s vegan, since their website doesn’t say and they have some ingredients that could be animal derived or plant based/synthetic, and they told me to look at the website.
sooo… in my experience/what I’ve heard, no not really any good ones come to mind
My friend really likes meundies. Extreme restraints and square space are both pretty good too.
I like gamersupps but I’m not a vegan, and don’t use it for the health benefits. It’s just a cheaper option than a traditional energy drink and there are several good flavors. I think it’s a decent product if you’re in that market, but I’ve only had to reach out to customer support to get an item swapped on an order. They can also take a while to ship depending on their stock.
