Use the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean for Pearly Whites

The Manual may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site.

You haven’t experienced toothbrushing nirvana until you’ve tried the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean. This remarkable toothbrush combines advanced technology with sleek lines. The more you use this device, the less time you’ll have to spend in that dentist’s chair — aside from your semi-annual check ups. The DiamondClean is not only proven to remove five times as much plaque as a conventional toothbrush, it also will whiten your teeth in a week. Its slim, ergonomic ceramic-finished handle is way better to hold on to than say, that plastic toothbrush you’ve been using for the last few months. It also has five cleaning modes that include gum care, white and polish. Its special cleaning action pushes more water in between teeth and along the gumline, allowing for healthier teeth.

The DiamondClean even comes with not one, but two different brush heads — standard and compact. Their high-density bristle pattern gets all that icky plaque off your teeth while also lifting stubborn stains that come from all that coffee and red wine you drink, and if you’re a cigarette smoker, all that disgusting smoke you inhale. They somehow are able to get to all those hard to reach areas that your regular toothbrush can’t touch. The dual charging system also allows you to power up your toothbrush with a USB connection on your computer or a conventional wall plug. Get this — power lasts a whole three weeks in between charges!

Topgolf brings back John Daly to continue to “disrupt” the game
john daly

To the uninitiated, golf can feel like a stuffy game. There is a dress code, there is an etiquette, and you even have to be quiet. At a sporting event. For those of us who love golf (don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan but believe it is called golf because the other four-letter words are taken), we recognize golf isn’t stuffy as much as it is steeped in tradition. But there has always been one man who shirked the shackles of the tradition and disrupted the game of golf with one of the most immaculate vibes in the sport, John Daly. With his drinking, smoking, wild pants, wilder mouth, and general who-gives-a-sh*t nature, he was everything golf wanted to keep out. Now, the game embraces him and his vibe, and Topgolf brought him in to continue the disruption.

I love the vibe at Topgolf. It’s a place where you can smash a golf ball, listen to music, have a drink, and enjoy yourself with friends and family. That’s my kind of golf. – John Daly

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: The Carnegie Club takes you back to Rat Pack days
Couch, Furniture, Body Part

Three blocks south of Central Park, before you find yourself lost in the hectic environment of Times Square, is a cigar lounge tucked back away from the hustle and bustle. It almost feels like a secret. A place only those in the know are privy to. Of course, if that is the intention, then lovers of this establishment will be coming for me in no time with their pitchforks. I am talking about The Carnegie Club—a cigar lounge sitting on 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. From the moment you walk in, it doesn’t feel like a normal, run-of-the-mill bar. No, this has a New York feel, but a specific kind of New York feel. One that harkens back to the days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. This feels like the Rat Pack days.

Isaac Rouse is our new James Bond…it’s not what you think
Young James Bond

We’re all out here waiting on pins and needles to see who will take on the iconic role of James Bond in Amazon’s newest movie series. All the while, 2026 is just dropping Bond project after Bond project to whet our appetites. From 007: First Light dropping for the gamers in the franchise, to King Zero by Charlie Higson and All In by Dan Jones hitting the bookshelves, to yet another project you get to sink your teeth into, Young Bond: SilverFin.

If the last one sounds familiar to you, then you are a fan of Bond on the page as much as on the screen. First published in 2005, SilverFin follows a young James Bond long before he is recruited by the 00 program. Also written by Charlie Higson, this release is a full cast audio drama set to invade yet another part of your life. And young Isaac Rouse is set to voice our favorite future Bond. And there are a few fun Bond historical connections among the cast as well.
