I just used a pet groomer with a vacuum to trim my beard. Worked great, no messy hair everywhere. Will continue doing it.

What things do you do?

use one of those percussive massage guns to empty out the last of almost anything. things like ketchup, hair conditioner, lotion, are all really hard to use 100% of so i just use the massage gun to get the last bits out.

I like this one. A lot easier than my solution. I usually use the centrifugal force to empty them. Just using my arm at full length in a rotating movement vertically.

I stopped doing that after I lost my grip on a ketchup bottle and it flew into a wall. Ketchup everywhere.

I've also used them to mix up containers of stuff. Nail polish, acrylic paint, and caked up onion/garlic powder.

This guy kept going through my recycling to take aluminum cans, so I started sorting cans into a separate bag and putting them on top of the recycling every week. Made things easier for him, and I didnโ€™t have to hear the rumbling and clanking of cans on my sidewalk every week

That's funny. I use an old beard trimmer to groom my pets.

I think these shaving aprons on Temu are more practical for that in case you haven't seen them

I often use the hoover with the soft head to dust. I also use the leaf blower to mega dust.

If I rub a bar of soap over my pubes (in the shower), the pubes get loads of soap-lather. Saves time over lathering by hand. You're welcome.
