CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Wlm

This isn't even about sharpness. I just find cheap peelers too flimsy to use well. Sure they might be $5 each but they have the stiffness of a wet noodle. I'll happily spend a little extra money on something that feels good to use.

Borax is fucking magic as is baking soda.

My life is better and my house and laundry is cleaner having discovered this.

@Wlm

I'll never go full on dollar store peelers. I struggled with cheap knives all my childhood until I grew up and bought a good Victronox peeler.

You don't need super expensive knives to be sure, but I'll never go bottom of the bucket on something as important as a knife.

The one I got is still made and currently around 15USD.

1. I keep an Olfa utility knife everywhere I need one so I can quickly open and break down boxes or get into stubborn clamshell packages without ruining scissors. I use the same blade on everything and keep a box of replacements.

2. Same as 1 but scissors

3. I've been using the same pack of microfibre cloths for years. I use them for cleaning glasses, lenses, computer screens, and etc. Wash gentle cycle, tumble dry low, no fabric softener.

@ShadowJonathan big same.
