Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

[Mr. McMac]

I love the Classic 76. It's definitely one of the best built clippers made. It's super smooth running, and you know just from the sound of the motor and the feel in your hand that it's super high quality. Yes it requires more maintenance than a buzz type clipper, but I really enjoy doing it. After I cut my hair, I remove the blade and use compressed air to blow out the bits of hair. Then I lube the blade. Every 6 months I remove the cover , clean out the old grease and replace it as well as putting a couple of drops of oil on the armature bearing through the little spring loaded ball bearing on the side of the housing. For me the whole process is very enjoyable.

Edit: I forgot to mention, all the replacement parts are readily available and reasonably priced. Since you're cutting your own hair, it will probably last a lifetime without replacing any parts.

I have several different brands of these. They all work well, and it is much easier to carry than an external drive. Mine include the Transcend, PNY StorEdge and the Nifty MiniDrive. I use different drives for different sets of data.

Which do you recommend the most?

I'm actually a fan of them all... for different reasons. The Transcend and PNY both have little lips on the drives making removal very easy. The others (the NiftyDrive and the MiniDrive) require either a special tool or inserting a little wire through the connectors for removal. But they have a huge upside - the memory cards are removable, and therefore, the storage capacity can easily be upgraded.

For day to day use, I keep a 128GB PNY StorEdge card in my 2012 rMBP, and carry a different set of data on the Transcend drive.

I am normally not someone who needs the latest tech and tend to keep things for years and years before replacing them. But this time I went on a shopping spree. And I have no regrets whatsoever.

I bought one of these over the weekend just to have a play about with.

Is that a Google Nexus 7 2013? How many GB? How do you like it? Have you upgraded it to Lollipop?

It's 32GB. Yeah I updated it to lollipop. It's ok. Not sure if I'm going to keep it though. I prefer my iPads.

Just recently bought a new house.

Today I brought home a new 65" VIZIO and an IKEA tv stand for the bonus room. I still need to mount the TV and hook up all the misc. equipment but I needed to quickly get it setup so I don't miss Fear The Walking Dead tonight!

Beautiful House! Best of luck with it BTW, I love the American Flag out front. I've have one on my house since 9/11/2001

Well, I gave away my iPad mini as a gift to my brother, and don't have two of the other products that you posted.

But, I do have the B&W P7s, and think that they are a superb headphone. Well wear and enjoy them.

 

[sartrekid]

I was quite happy with my iPad 2nd gen., if only the screen hadn't been completely shattered. It's taken lots of abuse over the years but it was time for a replacement as there were only certain areas of the screen that were usable. Anyway, I must say that the display of the iPad Air 2 is brilliant and such a joy to my eyes. Beautiful.

As for my B&W P7s, they are magnificent. I have to admit that I'm not a true audiophile anymore. I used to be back in the days when I collected hundreds and hundreds of live bootlegs in FLAC format. These days I'm quite content with .mp3s, though that might change now that I have those headphones at my disposal... These are my first pair of quality headphones I own.

Well, audiophile or not, I think you'll find that these really are a superb set of headphones.

In any case, I hope you enjoy the experience of using them and listening to music with them.

Should have bought this a loooong time ago. This throws me back so many years, when I put on shaving cream without having any facial hair to shave

And in French, too? How wonderfully cool. Enjoy using it, and what a classy and elegant looking box they came packaged in.

Thanks, I like the packaging too. Simple yet classy indeed.

The text is in Dutch, by the way

Ah, I stand corrected. As it happened, I glanced at it quickly, saw a word that looked like 'je' and assumed - without further investigation - that it was French. Mea culpa.

But lovely simple, elegant packaging.

I was considering this one, until I saw someone on Amazon who said his melted and left a huge stain on the floor. But after reading your comment I might just pull the trigger, and worst case scenario I will buy a fire extinguisher too
