I understand your concerns and prefer to not purchase from China either in a perfect world. Alas, as one other reader commented, until we start manufacturing more in the US, we’re kinda stuck. For me, the better goal is simply to buy American whenever possible, and I do. It costs more, for sure. But I definitely make a point of buying American when I can. Still, I also try to remember that the Chinese government is one thing and the people who live and try to earn a living there are quite another. I try to purchase items from responsibly sourced manufacturers and those that pay fair wages. I can’t be perfect at this because I don’t always have all the information. But I do my best.

Sure, I have an older version of this one and love it: https://rstyle.me/+zm5WuT9Y04OBsDhxhvsP4A My daughter has this handheld one and I’ve used it and found it quite adequate for occasional use: https://rstyle.me/+eV_Qmye3jPgE6_CIR4a5dQ
