Reply to comment by Round_Technician_728 in Rex Ambassador- 316L stainless steel adjustable razor by LaskoHolmes
Also fairly easy to find Gillette razors from the 1st 7 decades of the 20th century they too will last multiple lifetimes (many already have) shave just as well as anything manufactured today that is readily available for pennies on (regardless of price point $40 or $400) the dollar. Also made in the USA, or for some of the prettiest razors known to man, Made in England. Most everything today is just a copycat of Gillette's offerings in the 1900's. disguised as a modern marvel

Any chance you or someone, could share how to affix a year of manufacture to these?

How does Filter Queen compare to other quality makers such as Rainbow or Miele?

Reply to comment by Quail-a-lot in Anyone ever truly stainless steel wire pegs if so thoughts? Are there other pegs should conconsider? by Significant-Ad6946
Anyone compare the Pincinox pins Made in France with the pins sold in Canada by Lee Valley that are Made in Italy?
Unsure if the Pincinox are available in Canada but are so in the USA and at least for Canadians, the Pincinox pins are comparable in price maybe a tad more expensive at $24 USD vs $29 Cdn$ for a pkg. of 20
Anyone with any insight or able to compare the two?
FWIW for bulky items I have been using THESE from Lee Valley in combination with "normal" heavy duty wooden pins for regular laundry for about 20 years without issue along the coast of Nova Scotia on my 80 foot clothesline.

Reply to comment by radio_blabla in Card case wallet with minimum of 6 card slots? by ironic__coincidence
Having my Secrid for almost a decade now - I still luv it and it works like it did from day 1. Often though not as much the last couple years it was often commented on at checkout.
Having said that I find 6 cards is too many, 5 is a little tight and four is just right

Eyewear glasses and or sunglasses I would seriously look into State Optical or American Optical both made in Illinois, very very nice eyewear that you would not see a lot of back home and you may cop a deal
