I recently bought a new pillow for about 50$ and it really did have a big impact, having a quality pillow just elevates your sleeping experience and kinda improves your life. It shocked me at first but now that i think of it, it makes sense because you literally use it to start en end your day.

[@MaestroMvn]

[@kevintao1735]

I'd recommend against plastic water bottles and instead go for glass or stainless steel. Even BPA-free bottles basically replaced BPA with other, less studied chemicals that will end up leaching into the water and end up in your body. Add to that all the recent news on microplastics found in our bodies and in the environment, I think the best idea is just to avoid plastic whenever there are practical alternatives available.

[@DocMulholland]

This. I was going to write a similar post and couldn't have said it better.

[@ladygagarocks21]

Agreed. Over the last few years I have phased out all plastic from my kitchen and replaced with glass and stainless steel

The biggest change in my life has been an electric shaver. I am bald, and it was such a chore to shave my head everyday. Now I can shave my face and head in three minutes as part of a standard shower with no cleanup. It's a game changer.

[@RealMuperSan]

Which shaver do you use?

[@benjamintravis6606]

I’m curious too. My beard destroys razors and the electric shavers I’ve tried too fast. I’ve gone to double edge and they seem to be the best for me but went back to just having a beard and a buzz cut every three weeks. I use a razor for details only. It would be nice to have another option.

[@klausstock8020]

I used to use Braun, but Braun stopped to deliver a really close shave maybe 15 years ago. Panasonic did deliver. But blades and foils for my Panasonic are getting harder to buy, and more experience, year by year. I'm a bit special. My skin can tolerate a beard only for a limited time. I'm 56 years old now, and "beard" is now a week, max, before I need to shave. Naturally, my skin hates shaving. Shaving every day is...well, not as bad as not shaving for ten days, but it's not really fun either. Luckily, shaving once or twice a week looks reasonably good on me. As long as I wear t-shirts, formal shirts are a different story. What I liked about the latest Braun I tried was that my skin had no problems with the shaving process. It was just that I couldn't wear a formal shirt with a necktie without getting mad. The shave just wasn't close enough. Probably less of an issue today; at 56 years of age, people now often respect me without a necktie.

[@jeanlucdecoster]

Number one thing I would add is a gym membership. It’s not exactly a “thing” but most gyms offer a membership for like $25-$30. Or a little bit nicer ones, maybe $49. Boom. 45 minutes a few times a week and a year later you’re life is much different

[@BrockMcGoff]

Instead of purchasing longer charging cables, I recommend using an extension board. Charging cables carry DC current, which is more susceptible to loss than AC, leading to slower charging. To mitigate this, the cable would need to be thicker and have lower resistance. Furthermore, replacing an extension board is much more cost-effective than replacing a charger. An added benefit is if the extension board includes surge protection.

Getting a shoe with a wide toe box will do wonders for your health, much more than insoles. I recommend anyone experiencing foot pain/lower body pain to look into it.

[@prettyboishah2898]

What shoe brands do you recommend?

[@mikael_tan]

@@prettyboishah2898 it depends which country you're currently residing. There are plenty of options in the states. I currently live in canada and i have purchased from vivobarefoot. I also had my aunt bring me a pair of flux footwear when she visited from the states. Been wearing them for all of summer and they work great. I got these brands from a website called "anya's reviews". I also saw a few brands on my ads and on youtube. I recommend looking up reviews to see what fits your needs. For a starter pair, crocs are good because theyre widely available. I first learned of barefoot shoes through squat university's youtube channel and my life has changed. My plantar fasciitis is gone, pain at the big toe is gone, ankle and knee pain have been reduced and my lower back and hips are stronger. I have also managed to reduced my ingrown toenail. It's crazy how much better i'm walking and i honestly recommend everyone to give them a try. Start off small, with a wide toe box before you go zero drop, because it may hurt you when you're walking on concrete with no cushioning, while wearing a barefoot shoe with zero drop (check out flux shoes. Altra running also has good cushioning for running, but imo the goal should be less cushioning outside sportd). Good luck ! 😊

[@mega-nuke1587]

I've been wanting to get some myself but I never know what brands to look at lol

[@mikael_tan]

@@mega-nuke1587 check out squat university on youtube for more insight and just google barefoot shoes for a list of shoes. make sure to research what you need because all shoes are different and each person has different needs. good luck!

1. A USB charging hub. Charge everything (smartphone, flashlight, wireless earphones, smartwatch etc.) at once and be done with it for the day. 2. A tiny keychain Swiss Army knife. It has the small blade AND (depending on the model) small screwdrivers, nailfile, tweezers, scissors, bottle opener, some even have a ballpoint pen and it's really comfortable to use. I recommend the Victorinox Rambler or the Midnite Manager. 3. Similarly a tiny keychain flashlight (I carry the Olight i1R 2 EOS). This and the keychain SAK are perfect for most urban needs and you won't even have to think about them because your keychain is always nearby anyway. 4. A small EDC pouch (small enough to fit on your belt) with your ID, debit card, small bandages, some spare change and emergency contacts.

[@bladefearawksttm]

Here's an alternative to men who have uneven hairs like me who cannot enjoy the benefits of an electric shaver : get a women's razor like gillete venus razor its super smooth, no knicks and cuts unlike disposable razor, and it shaves cleaner than an electric shaver especially with uneven hair growth. Only thing I would say over circular or rounded parts of the area you're shaving you might not get it all in one shave sometimes, but hey it gets the job done clean & safe.

[@Theo-ul8qm]

Speaking about saving money - just one point about the sponsor of this video. In some countries, in mcluding where I live, you can get very good in-person (or via zoom) therapy services for less than BetterHelp charges. Therapy takes time, so an extra $10 per session ends up making a big difference if you do it for years. No hate on them, maybe for US standards their prices are competitive, but I'm sure in many countries you'll be better off just visiting a therapist in person.

I hate stretchy belts. Stretch prevents a belt from doing its job. Haven't found underwear at the price point of Tommy John that comes close to Tommy John. Best and easiest place to get matching wood hangers on the cheap is usually Ikea.

A Victorinox pocket knife (called Manager) for around €25. Two knives, two screwdrivers, toothpick, scissors, even a ballpen included (which I always forget). Especially when you have little kids (mine are teenagers now) and have to change those batteries of their toys all the time - the screwdrivers are indispensable!

[@chriscon8463]

[@enriqueflimberger]

Victorinox Classic SD is still cheap (less than US$30), but offers so much more funcionality than that knife you are carrying.

[@MartinParnham]

Would also add, a clothes brush. You don’t need one of those horsehair jobs for £50 or whatever as you can pick up a decent wooden one for about £20. Mine doubles as a shoehorn, which is handy. Also, wooden shoe trees.

[@theonlybuster]

Great list! Very sensible and well thought out. I was always skeptible of "premium" boxers until I mistakenly bought a $13 pair that were on sale for $8. Since then I've been converted. But as you said, just because a pair of boxers exceeds $10 doesn't mean they're great for everyone. 32Degrees Mesh Boxers is my favorite budget premium brand. Separate is another one I've recently become fond of. Contigo is a superb budget brand for water bottles AND travel coffee mugs. I also love how easy they are to clean/wash. I like the idea of a mini pocket knife on a keychain, but having been stopped by over zealous TSA agents, I quickly abandoned this as I've had to part ways with these many knives on more than one occasion even after showing that the blade was much less than 2-inches.

I would put a hair dryer as my biggest upgrade. I used to towel dry and my fine hair just looks flat and pretty much become a fringe after 5 minutes (they're just limply draping my forehead). Blow drying your hair just give it more volume and make it so much easier to style how you want it. Of course it would depend on your hair style though!

The best belt I ever got was a mechanic belt. They don't have a "buckle", and they're so much more comfortable than a regular belt. But ultimately, getting pants and shorts that fit your waist and don't require a belt is what you want. Uniqlo may claim that the factories they outsource their manufacturing to are ethically run, but they're not free of controversy and allegedly still aren't what they say they are. For around the same price, maybe a little more, get something ethically made in your own country and support your own economy! Same goes for underwear and other items. Or measure your best fitting clothes, and hit up the used market. Fast fashion ain't it. I always get shoulder bumps in my shirts from regular hangers, so I've got fully sloped hangers, like a semi-circle, so there is no sudden drop and thus no bumps in the shirts. A year ago, I was doomed to a life of orthotics. That was until I found barefoot shoes, natural movement, and strengthening my feet and legs that had been severely weakened by "comfortable" shoes. If I put those shoes on now, they'll be anything but comfortable, because they're not foot-shaped and they misalign my entire body. Once you transition, wearing next to nothing on your feet is quite comfortable. Movement is so much easier and fun now, and so many issues have been fixed. It's quite literally life-changing.

I was recently researching this as I retired my Oral-B some months ago just prior to a vacation. I'm not sure how many years I had it; probably close to 10.

It has a 'sensitive' setting, which apparently is its default setting. Fortunately it was either the second or third time using it I hit the power button during brushing and the normal setting kicked in. That sucker vibrates your skull. Which is really the main difference: Oral-B for more spinning with a round head; Sonicare for a vibrating, somewhat traditional albeit smaller oval head.

So true about the plastic waste on picks. I used to be one of those people but I encourage others to give normal floss another try! It's really not that bad!

[@thomascrownbuerger]

There’s a few brands that make biodegradable picks. The ones I bought are from Smartlife made of Straw Wheat.

A Zojirushi travel thermos for coffee. Hands down the best travel mug I’ve ever used and lasts forever. I’m also a big fan of insoles but I’ve been enjoying the Fulton ones best recently. They have real cork so I feel like they form to my foot nicely.

[@junegrainger8481]

I have a zojirushi travel flask which i have used for 10 years. Keeps hot drinks very hot. Expensive though.

[@orlandodasilva2529]

Two items in and you already mentioned my go to t shirt and belt haha

[@charliervr]

ThermoFlask is much better than Contigo! 40 oz two packs usually go for around $30 on Costco. BPA free and keep your drinks warm or cold. Been using mine for 5 years already, and it's still going strong. Ive taken that son of a gun to many hikes and desert trips, and dropped it countless times and still does the same it did when I first bought it.

[@VicFlange]

Excellent information, thanks.

An alternative to only the knive would be a small Swiss Army knive, some are really small but still manage to fit a pair of scissors inside and boy do they come in handy sometimes🙂

[@WhiskeyTape]

Electric shaver is a bit controversial though. I have been using one when I got my first facial hair and into late teens. At some point I tried shaving with a straight razor and despite struggles during my first tries I in general get cleaner shave and enjoy that part of my routine, although it takes slightly more time.

[@rolandos8758]

I bought a cheap $20 Temu backpack for work and its been a game changer for me

[@annoyedok321]

Pick style flossers really are a lifesaver. Buy 5 packages and put them wherever you might have idle time. Take hygeine out of the bathroom and you'll do it more often.

Hi, Brock! I've been watching your videos for a while. I know they are ment for guys, but I don't know, I always learn something that I apply to myself. So thanks! Keep making awesome content as usual 😄

[@BrockMcGoff]

So glad to hear that, thank you!

[@alimfuzzy]

I travel a lot, and a non-metal belt has helped quite a bit for customs.

[@beardedsaint3250]

Remember my umbrella breaking on me at London Bridge Station whilst it was pouring. Had no choice but to get a £40 mini umbrella thinking I got robbed on the spot. Umbrellas still running strong nearly 7 years later

[@UGA.D]

RovyVon Aurora A8. 4 brightness levels from the main LED and 3 auxiliary LEDs. (I got the UV/Red/White version.) The aux white has 2 brightness levels and the aux red has on, flash and signal. I chose the UV model not for checking currency, etc., but because there is NO better light source for charging lume on watches before I hit the lights.

[@BrockMcGoff]

I’m taking notes ✍🏼

[@UGA.D]

@@BrockMcGoff It's fantastic. There is more than one iteration of the A8. One, for example, uses blue and amber LEDs. Make sure your'e aware so you can pick what's best for you. But as a budding watch guy, I think the UV model would suit you best.

[@remixisthis]

Loop earplugs and 3d eye mask. Under $50 for both and lifesaver for sleep when I travel

[@Renatiux84]

That mini spyderco is amazing!

[@BrockMcGoff]

I love it!

[@Racoon-Man]

I strongly agree with the watch, a pair of good shoes and socks. One of the first things I bought after getting my job was a pair of shoes (not too expensive though) and socks. One of the best purchases I made at that time of my life.

[@leokeller]

I really enjoyed watching this video! Great production quality and amazing to listen to. Thank you!

[@michaelmark1900]

I can agree with everything on the list EXCEPT that contigo water bottle. It will NOT keep your drink cold for any period of time, especially in the summer months. A good insulated metal water bottle is well worth the money. Bonus is they can also be used as a weapon

[@Ratgibbon]

Instead of the Casio F105W I recommend the W86. It has the same electroluminescent backlight, it has higher water resistance at 50m and its strap is also more supple.

[@mikeythetoyotaguy]

My 32oz Owala water bottle is hyped up on social media but also legitimately the best reusable metal water bottle on the planet

[@DavidHartline-o5t]

+1 for high quality insoles. I used to pay >$600 for custom orthotics. Now I get the same results from

[@arnav_1290r]

I just discovered your channel, i love your practicality!

[@esmfamil5086]

Brock's so sassy today lmao love u man

[@BrockMcGoff]

Love you too

[@alisadim81]

Thank you Brock for all the info Wishing you the best

[@BrockMcGoff]

Same to you!

[@thenotoriousstg]

Hey Brock. Great video again! Love the content. Keep it coming!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks! Will do!

[@MartinParnham]

Pleased to say I’ve got a few of these. Best one is probably a night light. We bought a box of 2 off Amazon, they are circular and have that circle light effect. We mainly bought them because we have an en suite bathroom and it means we don’t have to find our phones in the middle of the night, or switch on the big light if we visit the bathroom! Just a caution with long chargers. They are usually unofficial as I don’t think Apple sell any longer than 2m (not in the UK market anyway) which would be fine but we bought a pack of 3 that were something like 3m or 4m. Loved them for a while but one stopped working completely and another almost caught fire as my wife was using it! Needless to say we binned the remaining one 🤔🤨 I use an electric shaver but mostly just for the bits I’ve missed after wet shaving. I finish off with the electric. I hate shaving anyway so tend to try and string it out as long as possible but I only have to yawn and I grow stubble.
