Like, I get comments from people telling me it's weird I always try to peel potatoes like I am trying to make the worlds longest 1-piece potato peel. To me it feels way for efficient and fun to continu down a potato in 1 peel, while circling around it, instead of randomly scraping a hundred different pieces of peel off and having to reintroduce the cutter knife to the potato for every piece.

I would agree that the tool you use has the most impact. I really like this one. For me it works way better than the one in your picture.

Alt: Picture of a peeler, with a blade that has teeth

We have one of those. It's called "Sparschäler" over here in Germany. I have no idea how to translate it but maybe "a thing that peels and saves as much of the veggie in the process" or savingspeeler?? Whatever, my point is: those little teeth are something else! I got them stuck in the skin of my fingers/hand so often, I got another one without the teeth. The one without teeth isn't as effective (especially when I peel carrots) and cuts more off the vegetables I peel. Feels smoother, though!
