Electric Razor with no Stubble? (OneBlade or epilier?)
My understanding is that electric razors simply can't shave as close as a safety razor or similar. Safety razors are more fuss, but they can just get smoother than electric ones. That's certainly been my experience anyways - I've used both a Henson safety razor and a Phillips OneBlade and I use the Phillips more often for convenience's sake (and less irritation for me personally) but I definitely can't shave as close and the hair does grow back faster for me. I'm transmasc nonbinary from a family with shitty facial hair genes so "faster" is still not that fast for me and there's not a ton of it to get through, but I usually would touch up every other day with the OneBlade instead of only maybe twice a week with a safety razor. I would say if your hair is so thick that it's clogging up a safety razor that fast, a OneBlade probably ain't gonna do what you need. There may not be one solution that's perfect for every part of your body here. There may also be some trade-offs depending on your goals. For example, waxing, sugaring, or use of an epilator could work really well for you in some areas, but if you're getting electrolysis or laser, or doing home IPL, you actually need that little bit of hair under the skin and would have to stick to shaving/potentially put up with a little more fuss shorter-term for the longer-term more permanent results. If those are all way out of your budget right now, an epilator (or sugaring/waxing) might be better for your body hair in terms of smoother results, slower regrowth, etc, but my understanding is that epilators, waxing, anything that really rips the hair out at the root is not suitable for full-on beard hair because they're so thick and the roots are so deep it can cause a lot of skin trauma and risk infection and other complications. I have a few thoughts on how you might want to go here: 1) You could stick to a safety razor just for your face and use an epilator on the body (caveat being that I don't know if they're safe/viable for intimate areas but it would at least minimize the areas needing shaving) 2) You could stick to a safety razor for the face and do waxing or sugaring for the body, either yourself or having a professional do it; upside - lasts longer than shaving and should make hair grow in thinner/slower over time, downside - more painful than shaving, expensive over time especially if you have to pay a pro to get good results, and the hair does have to grow out a fair bit between sessions so the wax can grab onto it (I assume it's similar with sugaring but am less familiar with that one myself) 3) You could keep using the safety razor everywhere (although personally I wouldn't use the same one for my face & pits/intimate areas at least not without aggressive sanitation and a fresh blade in between), and (assuming your skin and hair tones are suitable; optimal candidates have light skin and dark hair) invest in a good home IPL device to help thin/slow/stop the body hair over time - it's not as powerful and needs more maintenance treatment than laser, but many people still get very good results. Expect to pay quite a bit up-front, but potentially save money long-term vs. getting pro laser on your whole body. Caveat: the IPL would mainly control the body hair. These devices are generally not advised for facial hair on AMAB folks, partially for safety reasons and partially because they're just not strong enough. The face would likely still need electrolysis or professional laser down the line and shaving in the interim, but you could save a lot of hassle on the body hair with a good IPL device over time. 4) You could go with #1 or #2 and prioritize saving towards electrolysis on the facial hair first to have it permanently gone ASAP, since that's going to be some of the hardest hair to deal with and most visible day to day. r/HairRemoval is probably a more helpful sub for you - you may need a "mixed methods" approach for different parts and may need to consider what kind of trade-offs you can deal with where, especially when thinking about shorter-term annoyances for longer-term more permanent gains with certain options.

What was the best purchase you made this year?
Philips Oneblade. Despite the fact that, according to reviews, the blades don’t last very long, it’s still much better than regular shaving. Air Humidifier. Waking up and having no troubles with airways. Scarf. Cool and warm.

Zero guard beard trimmer that won't nick my neck and face? Does the Peanut nick?
The OneBlade works for me. The #1 guard is what I use for the 5 o-clock look, and no guard to shave my neck. But it’s not BIFL. I had one die. All things with embedded batteries die. Fortunately the new one was compatible with the old blades (I tend to stock up when I see a good price).

Budget toothbrush without gaps?
Budget-wise I like the Phillips One, the re-chargeable kind! There’s not much that can break, no pressure sensors or different modi. If you want it to spend more, I can recommend the Io series from Oral-B, I just took one apart to replace the battery and it seems sturdy, plus everything is easily accessible.

What's a purchase under $50 that has genuinely improved your daily routine?
The Philips One Blade. It's an electric safety razor. And it has changed my life shaving.

The Best Electric Toothbrush Currently?
I’ve been traveling with the Quip for over a year now and honestly, it’s been perfect for short trips. Super slim, lightweight, and the travel cover doubles as a stand which is clutch in hotel bathrooms. It runs on a AAA battery so no charging needed, which is actually a plus if you don’t want to deal with cables. That said, the clean isn’t as intense as something like a Sonicare, but it definitely beats a manual brush or those hotel freebies. If you want something more powerful and don’t mind the bulk, the Philips One by Sonicare (rechargeable version) is another solid option. USB-C Too.

Bikini trimmer that works on face & body too? Suggestions please!
The Phillips one blade. I picked one up the other day and is the best I’ve used.

Gillette razor handle my sister gifted me 22 years ago
Agree completely. I use a Phillips One Blade for most of my shaving, but as a once a week shaver I spend basically nothing on Gillette cartridges. I'm not taking time to make sure my razor doesn't cut me, I can shave blindfolded with a cartridge.

What's the best electric toothbrush money can buy with replaceable batteries and brush-heads?
Just like with mobile phones, replaceable batteries in higher-end electric toothbrushes are pretty much a thing of the past. Most of the ones dentists recommend now come with built-in lithium-ion batteries that can’t be replaced. If having replaceable batteries is non-negotiable, the Philips One is probably your best option. It’s lightweight, easy to travel with, and uses sonic technology. A&H Spinbrush is also good, it’s more affordable but very basic and entry-level. Now, if you’re willing to consider rechargeable options, Oral-B, Philips, and Aquasonic have some good ones. Oral-B is the most popular but pretty expensive. My favorite is the [Aquasonic Vibe Series](https://amazon.best-sellers.reddittor.top/dp-B0C1DK2PXT) because of its value for money. It has a powerful motor, multiple cleaning modes, timers, and enough replacement heads to last two years. Definitely worth checking out imo[.](https://www.amazon.com/Aquasonic-Vibe-Ultra-Whitening-Toothbrush-Accepted/dp/B0C1DK2PXT)
