Less Wrong Product & Service Recommendations

lukeprog

I have often benefited from recommendations for Things I Didn't Know I Wanted.

Given that Less Wrong is a community of unusually intelligent, critical, and self-improvement-focused people, I suspect we can generate a pretty helpful thread of product recommendations — perhaps even a monthly thread of product recommendations.

Rules:

Post one product your recommend per comment, so they can be discussed and voted on independently.
Provide a link for purchasing the product.
No books, movies, TV, games, or music. (These should go in other threads, like this one or this one.)

I'll post my own recommendations to the comments section, too.

I would like textual feedback to match the downvotes allotted this entirely sincere and well-caveated endorsement.

I didn't downvote, because your rec has caused me to want to try Irish Spring. On the other hand, that's because smelly cleansing products (regardless of their gender signalling) set off my allergies, and your emphatic branding of this soap as MANLY soap was just too much for my contrarian tendencies to ignore.

I did not downvote it, but It reads like an ad targeted at the same demographics as do penis enlargers, insecure and probably low-intelligence males.

Your intense concern with "signaling sub-standard masculinity" (you mention it 6 times in this endorsement) is weird and squicks me out. It doesn't signal good things. And since your entire endorsement is based on what the soap signals what you signal is very relevant to whether or not I would want to use the product. I actually use Irish Spring though-- it's cheap and has this nice green color. But I also totally use my girlfriend's lavender deodorant after I sleep over, so what do I know?
