You've brought something into the studio that has some resonance for you, and

To-infinitive

I was asked to bring in a product that I identify with, that I believe in.

Now, I'll start by saying that I try to buy very few products in my life.

But the products that I do buy, I want them to be of a very high quality.

I want them to have something special about them.

And then I have to buy fewer products going forward because they last longer now.

If you wanted to buy a nose hair trimmer in the United States, you may have bought the Panasonic ER409.

This is my own unit from about 25 years ago.

You've just handed me what looks like a very small vibrator, and it's a Panasonic.

Sure, I don't have the exact lineage of it, but

that's about the time I started trimming my nose hair.

I can't tell you if it started growing in then or if I just became aware of it then.

If you look on the bottom, you'll see that it's made in Japan, of course, Panasonic's headquarters.

I never thought much about nose trimmers, but I didn't have to.

And you can trim ear hair as well, if you choose.

Nevertheless, if it was around you for 20 years, it probably killed itself to cut a tiny little gun and shot its brains out.

Have you noticed that a lot of your products commit suicide at a certain point?

I'm picturing all of your products have tiny little guns.

And every now and then in your house, you're trying to sleep and you hear a tiny little shot.

If I had to listen to him pronounce Socratic bullshit one more time.

My stomach hurts, my chest hurts, my whole body falling apart.

If they were sentient, I think they would value the way I treated them.

Nevertheless, I went to replace this product when it was damaged.

I. I live in the United States and I was served this Panasonic ER411.

The cutting mechanism I actually replaced this had been discontinued.

And then you went to the trouble to replace the blade?

It was made in a country that is arguably known for some lower quality production methods.

It draws unnecessary attention to itself.

This was what you would get as an American after the glory days of nose hair trimmers.

You don't see a difference between those two projects?

We define ourselves by the objects we interact with.

Every day I surround myself with beauty, with high levels of aesthetic pleasure.

And it's not only putting on beautiful clothes, it's also using a beautiful nose hair trimmer.

It's also understanding that everything we interact with defines our life.

I was not happy with this product, but I thought it was my only option.

So I trimmed my nose hair, unhappily, with that product.

So then I visited the country of Japan and I found out that Panasonic sells a different nose hair trimmer model for the Japanese clientele.

So they sell us the inferior1, the ER GN10.
