6 Products I Still Use from My FIRST YEAR on YouTube!

I was recently asked if I still use any products from my first year on KZfaq, and the answer is YES. I actually use several. Today I'm going over those products, along with a few others that I recently stopped using or had to replace but still use the replacements.

I've had my Oneblade for over 5 years and I love it! Anyone who wants to maintain a shorter beard style needs this in their arsenal. It's truly an all in one package for getting that even shadowy look, combined with a clean sharp outline along the neck. The blades take months to feel dull, and can stretch pretty far depending on how much resistance you decide to put up with. I even recently discovered a nose hair trimmer attachment made by a third party that makes this thing even more handy.

Hey man, i would need to take a closer look to be certain, but it seems like the charge chord for that light bar is a pretty standard 2 prong edison cable that probably is compatible with several other products, and may have gotten borrowed by another item and never returned. You can probably replace it pretty easily. I'm a stagehand electrician, and I have seen those types of charge connectors quite a few times on small electronics.

Their durability varies a lot like they have no QC department, I had one for work for about a year and a half and it broke, got a replacement and it broke within a week, figured eh maybe just one slipped past QC got a third for work and it lasted about 6 weeks and broke again and then after two very bad showings work switched what brand we use because the QC wasn't up to good enough standards.

A standard 4 quart pot with a handle that stays cool will be able to do the same thing as the pasta pot just fine, you just use the lid to hold back the pasta. Learned that one from Adam Ragusea. No need to buy a designated pasta pot, you don't need nearly as much water as the old recipes claim you do. Less water actually means more concentrated starch, which is significantly better if you reserve the water for your sauce. Plus, I hate pots with just those stubby little nubs.

The Magic Tracks is similar to my Christmas train. It is red, green and silver and cost $39 including 2 matching coaches and a circle of plastic track. Battery operated and has a light in the front. Everyone likes to watch it going round and round the Christmas tree. It normally plays Jingle Bells except this is too annoying so we cut the wires to the speaker :-)
