Introduction

TeFal Frying Pan

TeFal is a French company that makes non-stick cookware. I am impressed. The surface truly is easy to clean. It is durable. The large pan I have has a nice solid look and feel. It was not even that expensive.

TV Shows

• Dharma and Greg are an odd straight couple who bend over backwards to accomodate each other and their bizarre inlaws. They don’t blame. They always seek to understand. They always show loving concern for each other and their inlaws even under the most trying situations. They are excellent role models.
• Nanny 911 is a reality show about toxic families where the parents are screaming at kids and the kids are swearing, smashing, sassing, and beating each other up. In comes the British nanny who teaches the parents to respect each other and the kids and miraculously the family changes before your eyes to a loving ideal.

Sonicare Toothbrush

Sonicare makes an electric toothbrush that gets your teeth cleaner than anything else I have ever used. It lets you use any toothpaste you want. Some other electric toothbrushes make you forgo toothpaste because it wears out the gears. The Sonicare has a timer that keeps you honest. The brushes last six months. I am on my third unit. There is very little to wear out. It works at sonic frequencies, much faster than other brands. Going back to a manual brush feels like using a tree branch in comparison. The brush itself can get clogged with toothpaste. Clear it out with some dental floss or a toothpick and it will became re-energised.

Plax

You swish Plax around your mouth before you brush. It contains sodium benzoate which dissolves the glue that bacteria use to cling to your teeth. It makes quite a difference in how clean you can get your teeth. I find the green flavour is the most palatable. The red is pretty disgusting. You can buy generic equivalents cheaper.

The Braun Multimix Blender

The Braun multimix hand blender is so convenient to mix up a batch of Gatorade or orange juice or my morning smoothy. It can even do an number of other chopping jobs. You can make perfect Jello with one by mixing with two cups of hot water instead of the usual one hot, one cold. They are dirt cheap, durable and easy to clean.

Gillette Mach 3 Razor Blades

I thought the three blades were just so much marketing silliness, but when I tried them, I discovered they are just great. Mach 3s cut your beard quickly. You can’t cut yourself with them even if you try. You get a close shave. They last a long long time without going dull. They are relatively easy to clean. They are very expensive but given their durability, they are probably cheaper than other brands. Most stores keep them in locked cabinets to discourage shoplifters. If you don’t see them on the shelves, ask the clerk. The head is a little on the big side, like manoeuvring a barge around your face, but other than that, I consider this is by far the best razor I have ever used, and I have tried pretty well everything.

Originally I was attracted by the handsome male models in the ads, however, I’m not the only one who likes the blades. I told my sister about them and she said she had on multiple occasions heard men extolling their virtues in the super market line. That normally only happens in commercials.

You have to press fairly hard however, or the hairs can lie flat and escape the blades. To avoid that problem, check the shave by wiping your hand against the grain all over your face.

Gillette has now come out with a 5 blade version and a vibrator called the Fusion. This is just too ridiculous. I am sticking with my Mach 3.

Febreze

Febreze is advertised to take odours out of fabrics. Amazingly, it does. I presume it works on the principle of steam distillation, boiling off the noxious compounds in the fabric on a volatile carrier. It gets oil odours out of massage sheets which don’t come out even with repeated launderings.

Kinesis Keyboard

The Kinesis DSK Keyboard is outrageously priced, but it pays over and over in increased speed and reduced wrist strain. To read more about it see my essay on it. It comes in both QWERTY and Dvorak versions. It is so different in feel from a regular keyboard, you might as well go whole hog and get the faster Dvorak version.
