  • I’ve heard nothing but great things about Red Wing and apparently there’s a store nearby, but they are out of my price range. I’ve considered saving up for a pair but wasn’t sure it would be worth it. Maybe I’ll finally check them out, try a few on, see what the hype is all about. I know they’re supposed to last a very long time. Everything you’ve said I’ve heard, I just don’t know if I can stomach spending that much on footwear.

    Also, I used to work with a Brent who nearly crushed my foot under a pallet not much lighter than what you said so I feel that for sure. Thankfully he missed though.









  • Buy a DE safety razor. The initial razor isn’t as cheap as some other options but blades are dirt cheap. The standard recommendation for a safety razor is the Merkur 34C, though I’ve never used it. I’m currently using the Henson AL13 and it’s fantastic, plus it’s made in Canada which was the main selling point for me. My wife loves the AL13 too, she has super sensitive skin plus a lot of skin issues and she hasn’t had any problems shaving with it, where she would normally have burning and itching for days. It’s not on the cheaper end but also not luxury prices either.
