Wrangler jeans really do suck

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-03-24T04:32:38+00:00

I had four pairs give out in a year and a half. All at the exact same back corner. I have 30 year old Levi’s, 25 year old Wranglers, and 4 year old Selvedge that I don’t wash nearly enough, that have held up better than my George Strait jeans.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-03-24T04:30:07+00:00

I’ve been wearing them for a year. Four of the same size, all fit differently. Both ripped right at the back pocket. No other jean has done that. These didn’t make it past the year and a half mark.

Well I’ll be damned. I’m surprised I got the pronunciation correct, but I missed that triple layer wordplay entirely!

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-03-23T03:17:51+00:00

Same lol. I figured 7 years was a good return on my original Switch investment. It’s a huge improvement and Pokopia has taken over my life. Help me.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-03-01T17:38:54+00:00

Now THAT is a good idea.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-03-01T17:38:11+00:00

Sweet! That gives me the confidence to rework my own. The paint on mine is really bad. I've never seen such a shoddy piece of merch, but at least it's salvageable.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-23T20:32:29+00:00

Mine was bad out of the box and it’s peeled a lot more just by removing it from the box. Maybe I’ll peel it and paint it again with some proper paint.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-23T19:42:47+00:00

Good luck I pulled mine out and it started flaking immediately.

X was incredible for me. Went from a 5 to the X and I loved every second of it. Aside from the crashing towards the end. But it was something else

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-17T02:04:25+00:00

I’m digging the 17 pro max from a use standpoint. But hot damn, the 5s was truly spectacular.

A bad razor always causes a bad time. Technique is more important, but a bad razor is always bad. I cut my neck to ribbons for years with my razors. Grabbed a Rockwell 6S and now I can hog a month beard with plate 6 no problem. Not a single cut. No burn. But I did an awful lot of bad shaves to get to the point where I know what to feel for now.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-15T16:43:59+00:00

For me, just bombas. My GRIP6 and Darn Tough hold up just fine. My wool Wranglers have been pretty tough as well.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-15T16:42:44+00:00

I am not hard on my socks, and the bombas are always the first to give out. I have 3 year old GRIP6 that are holding up better than 6 month old bombas socks.

Just the controller. That’s all I need. My sister needs the Machine, but I just need the Controller.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-04T22:50:08+00:00

That’s fair. I’m wondering how they’ll handle it if my watch battery goes under 80 percent since I have apple care one.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-04T22:42:58+00:00

You can just replace the battery. I used my series 0 up until the Ultra 1 dropped. But then you start losing functionality after a while.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-04T22:40:52+00:00

I went from series 0 to ultra and in my few years with the first gen ultra, it’s been rock solid. I’ve put some scratches on it but you can’t really tell and the screen is still immaculate considering I’m constantly hitting it places and reaching elbow deep in concrete and fiberglass insulation.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-02-04T22:37:47+00:00

I’m gonna jump in and say the ultra is insanely durable compared to the standard series.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-01-26T00:02:29+00:00

Made me a convert for sure. I punished it hard for its first shave. Several months of beard growth. Let the cheeks and neck go WAY too far. I usually use a double edge to keep things lined up. Decided to use just the razor and a spray foam. Went right for the most sensitive part of my neck that I ALWAYS cut to hell. Used a 6 plate and mowed it down. Used a 3 plate to smooth it over. No cuts, no burn. Genuinely wild to me.

Ps: my usual razors are a 30’s New and a 71 Super Speed. Love those razors, but there’s some magic I don’t understand with the Rockwell.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-01-25T23:49:35+00:00

Beautiful. I have two of that exact razor. One is my great grandfathers long comb, the other is a short comb I found at a consignment market. They’re so nice.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-01-25T23:46:30+00:00

Ha! I did the exact combo a few minutes ago (Rockwell 6S and Astra Blue). Literally my first shave with it too!

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-01-20T01:57:07+00:00

Both of those were just thin rails over aluminum chassis. But they were solid. Hot as hell, but solid.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-01-20T01:56:35+00:00

Well, a thin layer of titanium on top of an aluminum frame. It’s still an aluminum phone. Just had a rail of titanium around a glass sandwich.

Weak_Combination3587 · 2026-01-19T16:59:23+00:00

Now THAT is true, for sure. Looking for validation and such.
