Ebay perhaps?

Love mine. I've owned various classics, fitted one to all of them... ahem, I like daft. Getting harder to find.

I'm not sure. How do I put this for the delicate flowers in our number? Ahem, you don't need to go full Father Xmas. Far from it. When you've left your face long enough for the look to be akin to something else, if we can justify calling you 'something else' - stop there

Hirsute is one thing, hirsute and old another.
Sadly I am at an age where collogen in the skin is becoming hard to find, but hair continues to grow apace.
Shaving becomes awfully bloody due to the lack of flexibility in the skin.
For smokers this becomes something even earlier in age, smokers beware.
An electric shaver produces greasy surfaces, not required.
The answer?
A full set, trimmed with whatever comes to hand.
As for fashion, anyone driving a Morris Minor surely eschews that which is trendy.

Is that the oil check or the beard we have wandered into?

Just curious, another curiosity is a tattoo where the owner can’t see it.

And he's not wrong.

No one said.

Just checked eBay. There's 3-4 on there now. Start at £45.00 and end up at £££s daft. I've used to pick Oil Check gauges upi for a fiver not 5 years ago.
