I’m talking about stuff thats frequently advertised on podcasts and other episodes of online series like “8sleep” (no idea how its spelled) or AthleticGreens or LiquidIV etc

Edit: is it banned to mention actual names, if not just message person if credible

    My Hansen razor, bought it over a year ago because the cheap plastic safety razor got too annoying to use and I remembered the ad.

    Didn’t spend extra for the titanium version and got the aluminium instead.

    It’s not my main way of shaving since I bought an electric shaver few months ago to do it in less than 5 minutes in the morning, but I have kept it for when I want to actually get everything shaved and the large pack of blades should last me a decade with my usage

      Also got them, but never knew they advertised. Got expensive designer glasses from a small German shop, but needed some replacement for traveling and something for sports with my new measurements. So I ordered something cheap of Zenni. My replacement glasses were 50€ glassesvfrom Zenni that I liked more than the expensive ones in the end. So now I am mostly wearing those.

      I’ve not heard them advertised, but my partner gets constant compliments on like 5+ different pairs of Zenni frames, plus they’re super cheap even with prescription lenses.

      Congratulations on having a normal sized head. NONE of their eyeglasses are big enough to fit around my melon. And no, it’s not fat getting in the way, just my skull. Tall people have large skulls, go figure. You’d think that an online store would be able to stock more variety in sizing. Overall, I wanted to like them, but I cannot where anything they sell except sunglasses, which oddly enough come in larger sizes. At least the optometrist can put regular lens in sunglasses frames to accommodate my apparently freakish proportions, but neither Zenni nor that other one will.

    Grip6 belts. Waited awhile until they had a Father’s Day sale a year ago to buy a simple black one with a honeycomb buckle. That thing is now my everyday belt. I now have 3 belts, 4 buckles, and have 3 more belt/buckle coming from Prime Day.

      Second these. I got one 5 years ago and it’s still in great condition after daily use. No other belts have held up like that.

    Backblaze, it’s a personal cloud backup solution that just works in the background. I don’t have to manage a backup protocol, I get an offsite backup, and it’s cheaper than trying to let a file sharing service like Dropbox or Google do my backups.

    I kinda like Magic Spoon cereal. It sticks to your teeth and has artificial sweetener (allulose) but it’s pretty tasty and very low carb and comes in lots of fun flavors. I currently have the Fruit Loops flavored one. Was all over youtube a while back.

    I actually liked Factor and heard about it from a podcast. It worked really well for me but I didn’t keep it more than a few months because it is so expensive. If I lived alone or made more money I’d do it again.

    Linode Cloud Services (now owned by Akamai). Heard about them on multiple Linux youtubers channels. Been hosting multiple apps and websites with them for a couple years now on their lowest plan and it works well. I’m sure people have their criticisms of them, but I’ve yet to have any issues.
