Fold-able Wagon - http://www.amazon.com/Mac-Sports-Collapsible-Wagon-Shopping/dp/B00BUUUIGK/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1432473202&sr=1-1&keywords=foldable+wagon

I think they might be cheaper at Costco, but this is by far the best thing we've ever gotten for the kids. We had one of the "hard plastic" Radio Flyer Wagons at first b/c we needed something to buckle them in, but once they got around 3 years old we sold that and switched to this. It's awesome, folds up quick, is easy to store, goes through dirt and sand with relative ease, etc.

Plus, once they get too big for it, can use it for hauling things around.

I see it used mostly at the soccer and baseball fields. Lugging around all the crap for the kids and chairs and stuff for the adults.

 
Recently got a pair of Clarks. Absolutely the most comfortable dress shoes have ever worn
Had a pair years ago...loved them and wore them a ton.

Found a similar pair a little cheaper...different brand. They tore up quick. I won't go back for a casual or dress shoe. Love them. Comfortable and if you stay away from the "lightweight" styles with that foam like bottom...they last and last and last.
For work I switch between a black pair of Clarks and a brown pair of Clarks. They go for about $60 at Macy's. Last a couple of years. I've been doing this for about 6 years now. Almost time for new black Clarks...

ETA: These. Looks like they are $70 at the moment.

Shick Hydro 5 razor.

Cheaper than Gillette options with IMO, better resutls. Love the ability to flip the "moisturizing" strip back and have a shave close up to my nose.

Mighty Wallet - https://www.vat19.com/item/the-mighty-wallet

Worlds thinnest wallet. I love these things. The all black looks like it's sold out right now....the rest of the designs are cheesy IMO....but this is super thin and reduces all the bulk that most wallets have
Leather All-Ett is :moneybag:

If you're like me and carry too many cards it's a life-saver.
I've had one of these for 2-3 years now and it's great. I've always had a serious dislike for bulky wallets and this company's products are excellent.
Do they have one that's just as thin but regular wallet sized so I'm not carrying a wallet my wife would use?
I don't care for those either and am perfectly happy with a Flowfold, but they are not for normal people.

Carbon fiber elephant wallet

Bellroy's are more traditional but minimalist enough

Slimfolds suck, and the Cinch wallets from kickstarter might.
My favorite minimalist wallet
Wife got me this model about 5 years ago. Very thin and looks even better now than it did 5 years ago

 
Anyone have a strong opinion on boxer briefs? It's about time for me to get new ones, and have been looking to branch out from the usual Hanes/FOTL brands.

Looking for input on MeUndies, ExOfficio, Saxx, MyPakage or any other brands.
Of the ones I've tried ExOfficio are the best, but can be pricey.

Recently got a couple pairs of the Uniqlo Airism boxer briefs and have been impressed with the quality, feel, fit for the price.

+1, and the vibrating version is even better.
 
Pretty skeptical about this shave oil. And these sponges. They're...sponges.
The shave oil is amazing. Seriously.
Here are two guys who clearly do not wash enough dishes.
I wash them every day. I buy an 8 pack of sponges for a dollar, that have a soft sponge on one side and a scouring pad on the other. And I don't even have to change my water temperature!

FWIW... do not buy a pair of Clarks without trying them on. I have a high arch and most Clarks do not seem to accomodate.

Yup. One of few shoemakers who make my size... but they still don't fit for the same reason.

 
I got the Shave Secret oil based off this thread and used it this morning for the first time. Hadn't shaved since Thursday and just 5 small drops worked amazingly well. Great shave. Just keep wetting your blade and it glides smoothly over your face. Nice recommendation, FBG'ers.

One note -- when I don't shave for many days and have some real scruff, I use regular shaving gel (without doing the 2-3 passes over the same spot -- can't do that without shave secret). But for my daily shave, I use the shave secret. I find the shave secret struggles a little more with long whiskers (one workaround I tried, which worked well, is a layer of shave secret underneath the shaving gel/cream).

 
Poopourii

My kids gave this to me for Christmas as a gag gift after seeing the commercial on Youtube last year. Lo and behold, this stuff actually works. Like a champ. Basically, I only use it if I know I'm going to have a horrendous dump - you know, the kind you can feel is going to pollute the place bad. You spray 2 or 3 times on the water before you sit down. It cuts down the smell by probably 90% at least.

They're pretty small spray bottles, but my 2-pack is still going strong. I've got a little over half left in all which should last me until Christmas.

Best thing about the sponges is that they clean up real easily. If you get em all funked up, they rinse out in seconds compared to other sponges that never really get all the way clean.

 
Patagonia Drifter Trail Running shoes.

Lightweight, comfortable, waterproof, grippy Vibram soles... and as low as $53 delivered from Amazon Prime (!) They're not going to win any fashion awards, but neither are most trail runners/hikers. If you're looking for function over form... these are insane value at that price.

They are really comfortable. And buy the socks as well.....life time warranty on any holes or whatever.

shoes are a hard thing to buy online, I bought my first pair in a store but after that have been getting them online and they are awesome

 
Anyone hear use Amazon Cloud or Google Cloud Drive to backup files? Currently I use dropbox (synced to my phone and my wife's phone for photos....and synced to my personal computer for all other docs). Would love to switch if possible to save the $10/month and have everything simple

 
Better place for online storage of photos - Googe Drive, ICloud, Other?
Started using drive a few months ago and I love it. Keep in mind that I am in the Google/Android universe so that may have something to do with it. Very happy with the Google Photos, Drive and IFTTT

Bought a pair online this morning on the Righetti recommendation. Should have them in a few days. :popcorn:

Replacing shoes every couple years doesn't seem to be high praise. I've got several Allen Edmonds over 15 years old that stirll look and feel great. They get a new sole or heel every 3-4 years.

Been using Drive for years, and love it.

Really, I don't even use it for backing up files. I use it as my primary/only storage for docs and spreadsheets. That was the case even before I stopped using PC's and switched to using Chromebooks for pretty much everything.

I'm not familiar enough with other cloud services to know how it compares, but I've never felt the need to check other ones out. Certainly never felt the need to pay for another service.

I've been using CrashPlan for over a year now and don't even think about it. Between their automatic, off-site (ie. not in my house) service and TimeMachine backing up to a drive on my desk, I don't even worry about loosing any of the gigs of pictures and video we've taken over the past 10 years.

I use drive for that too, but I have a bunch of files on my PC that I need to sync as well. I think drive does this, but I've never talked to anyone that has used it

 
Showerfloss Update here - been using this for 2 weeks and it's great. Went to floss my teeth with actual dental floss last night and there was zero blood. Usually when I floss every so often it looks like I rinsed with kool aid.

http://www.coach.com/coach-mens-wallets-money-clip-card-case-in-sport-calf-leather/74985.html?dwvar_color=BLK&cgid=men-wallets-money-clips-coin-casesI've had one of these for years. Love it.
Re: Walletchat....I went with the Allet EcoThin - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VBOI80?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

Even thinner than the Mighty Wallet that I linked above, and it feels much sturdier :thumbup:

:thumbup:
what kind of brush do you use?

I ask because I'm an infrequent flosser, but don't have the blood problem. Dad was a dentist and turned me on to Sonicare brushes years ago- he swore by them for gum and tooth care.

 
Google just announced unlimited photo storage
I am a complete naive dope about this stuff... is this on Drive? Does it cost anything?

Between photos and a ton of work, I really need to do this.
I was messing with wife's phone the other day & in google photos where it asks to backup on WiFi only there was an option to save at a lower res size for unlimited.

 
Bought one of these silly skinny wallets. We'll see.

I'll basically buy anything posted in here

Shoot the lock off your wallet and ante for an electric toothbrush bro. It a huge difference.
