Usually the higher the GSM (grams per square meter) rating the more fluffy and absorbent the towels will be. I usually go with 700+ GSM towels on a minimum for myself. Usually if you can find a higher GSM towel by a reputable manufacturer you should be good to go. High quality materials definitely make a big difference in absorbency and softness as well, so that’s always something to keep in mind. Also the way the towels are stitched, dyed, and put together can be a good indicator of how durable they will be long term.

In that case, Abyss & Habidecor Super Pile are about the best you can buy. They will spoil you.

I picked up some Super Pile towels from Abyss & Habidecor probably 7 years ago, and they’re still kicking butt. Very expensive towels, but they’re by far the softest, most absorbing, and nicest towels that I’ve ever owned. If they’re in your budget, or you can find them on sale they’re really phenomenal towels.

Bought mine in 2007 and it’s still going strong. Great razor.

Late to the party but I can’t recommend belts from The Beltman enough. I have a bullhide belt that’s almost 20 years old, worn daily, and I swear it’s better than new.

I use the Lanon liquid silicone heat/cold resistant gloves. These have treated me very well over the last couple years for BBQ/Grilling related activities.

Budget depending, but my Demeyere pans work incredibly well with my induction cook top. The heat distribution/retention is absolutely phenomenal. Stainless steel pans that cooks almost like cast iron when it comes to heat retention.

I picked up a bull hide belt from The Beltman probably 15 years ago. It’s been worn almost daily since I bought it and it’s still in fantastic condition. If anything the belt is even nicer now that is been thoroughly broken in.

Big fan of Bedrock sandals myself. They are super minimalist and resoleable. Absolutely love mine.

Vermont Glove makes some really tough leather gloves. You can get wool liners for them if it gets too cold out.
