Next step in my 'wet shaving' quest. After converting to safety razors a couple of years back, bought myself my first straight razor. And I even survived the first shave! This one is 100+ years old sheffield steel.

So is your end game a piece of flint?Next step in my 'wet shaving' quest. After converting to safety razors a couple of years back, bought myself my first straight razor. And I even survived the first shave! This one is 100+ years old sheffield steel.

Ha, they both make good good coffee….

There are lots used ones on eBay for about £3-400. I am tempted but want to try one in person first. There are B size, C size, plus the spec of them are like a minefield.

I have the same - great investment!Brand spanking new Aeron, and it's like sitting on an ickle fluffy cloud
I very very nearly bought the Cosm instead, but the place I bought it from said the Aeron would suit my needs better.
I've got to say that difference in quality and adjustments compared to my current gaming chair is almost undescribeable.
I'm now going to take my 7 month old Secretlab Evo 2022 into the garden, set fire to it, then blow it up, and then bury it.
Or I'll probably sell it, but either way, good ******* riddance.

The A,B,C sizing is a mix of height and body weight. I'm in a 'C' as I'm 6ft and was a fat biffer when I bought mine. There is a chart on their site at: https://www.hermanmiller.com/conten...terature/other/ap_sizefitref_aeron_chairs.pdf
John Lewis sell them if you can get to a store to try one out. £1200+ quid now ... jeez ! I think I paid £650.

I had an Aeropress. Both makes "filter" style coffee with some percolation and some steeping. The Hario is more foolproof of the 2, because you can choose when to release. You can do the inverted method with Aeropress too but that risk topping over (I had that happen). They both make excellent coffee, the Hario cost more but I like it more.
But, above all, the grinder is the most important part.

I swing between espresso and v60/filter. I’m currently in the filter phase again. Please I favour americano more so the filter method works just as well.
Ah, fair enough. I’m tempted by the Switch, it seems like a good middle ground between V60 and French Press.

It is just like that, a child of V60 and french press. French press simplicity with no gunk at the bottom of the cup.

Off I go to order some nice treats! All looks great!
First order with American Fizz. I heard Mexican Coca Cola was really good compared to ours.
Mexican Coke is what Americans call non-US Coke as Mexico is the closest country that produces it. Everywhere outside the US it is made using actual sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup, so there is virtually no difference between Mexican and UK Coke.

All true but mexican coke comes in bottles which (may) change the flavour to what we get in the UK and Mexican coke is less sweet than UK coke as they dont use any Sucrose (white sugar) unlike the UK coke.
Israel coke uses the most white sugar and Japan has the least amount of sugar (and sweetness) of anywhere coke is made in the world.
But yeah, everywhere tastes better than the US **** made with all that corn syrup.
