You’re ditching it because sometimes you lose track of the time (and don’t want to push the button again) for something that doesn’t have a timer at all?
I generally take my time and am very thorough in brushing my teeth. It just works for me. Had my first and only cavity in my mid 30s. I floss everyday. To me it seemed like needlessly complicating something simple.
Must say, I just checked back HN and am surprised by this comment all grayed out. It is a real experience and life choice that's working for me. Not sure what to make of it. Guess just don't bother disagreeing online :)
