Calling any safety razor blade the best overall is a stretch, but the Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor blades are the closest thing we got to a consensus. Though some blades are sharper and cost less per blade, Astra tops the list thanks to its cheap price, wide availability, and middle-of-the-road shave that’s neither dull nor too sharp. “Astra blades are great quality, durable, and cheap, and they give a smooth shave,” says Renegar. <br><br>Kambo calls them “decent,” adding they’re popu…

Though this may not come as a surprise, the Theragun Elite Massage Gun (4th Gen) is a hands-down, easy pick for the best powered self-massage tool. Its percussive massage takes the effort out of targeting and busting up knotty muscles while remaining quiet. <br><br>“For a powered tool, I like the Theragun Elite,” Dobbertin says. “It provides multiple attachments and a higher performance than some of the other models without being at the highest price point.”<br><br>The piston movement and pulsat…

Cunha says he likes these socks’ use of targeted arch compression and anatomical design, which provide comfort and a more secure fit, while Conenello recommends Feetures in general. <br><br>If the name wasn’t a dead giveaway, here, these socks are made from breathable Merino wool for top-notch comfort, durability, and moisture-wicking, plu…

There are many great no-show socks for men out there, but Invisasox is the only one purely dedicated to making the best no-show socks. They feature a low profile, an absorbent cotton-spandex blend, and a mesh gel heel grip for added stability, Cunha says. Among other features, they include an uncommon chain link collar, which secures the sock without cutting into the heel or top of the foot. They also come backed by a one-year guarantee and a free replacement sock if one fails. <br><br>Given the…

Laundry hampers aren’t sexy, but if they were, the curves on this Sterilite would stand out. Its design goes to show how simple, thoughtful choices result in a superior product. The design is sturdy and ventilated, the handles are thick and comfortable to hold, and the hip-hugging internal curve makes it easy to go one-handed.<br><br>Diatlo, for one, isn’t sleeping on this hamper, saying the design is just right for the job. “Some might think this is boring, but I really think this design is phe…

The Quest Beach Wagon with Sand Wheels doesn’t look like much, but it hits all the basics for a palatable price — a strong steel build with a 600 denier, water-resistant polyester. This material is crazy tough and built to withstand the elements, necessary for a wagon that not only will spend its entire life outside but encounter plenty of humid ocean spritz. The wagon also has inflatable rubber sand wheels, one of just a few consumer beach wagons that do, and it has a fair price of just under $…

The Sport-Brella Premiere Umbrella Shelter tweaks the traditional umbrella design to perfection, creating what could be the perfect beach shelter for one to two people. Though its positioning on the ground looks ready-made to blow away in the wind, the wind vents and tie-down cords + ground spikes ensure nothing but gale-force winds will be ripping it away any time soon. Add in UPF 50 protection on the 8-foot canopy, built-in pockets for gear, and an oversized drill bit anchor, and this umbrella…

Though other backpack coolers might retain ice for a little longer or collapse down, the RTIC Backpack Cooler easily strikes the best overall balance between features and price. “I really like the durability of RTIC,” Helyar says. “This cooler is made for adventures like fishing, kayaking, or surfing.” Helyar specifically notes that this cooler has a thick shoulder harness and waist strap, which Remo says will help with even weight distribution. <br><br>In terms of capacity, the larger version o…
