    Wahl clippers, £40 about twenty years ago. Lifetimes supply of hair cuts, bargain.

    Obviously not recommended if you’re a floppy haired fop or trying to look like one direction but gold dust for skinheads.

    A lifetime supply for £9! Bargain.

    I can understand having ‘a’ spare whilst you are waiting for your usual one to dry after washing it out – but 23… That’s just wasteful.

    I am now followed by Durex adverts all around STW 🙂

    EDIT: Another real contribution – Primark boxers. Never seem to need anything else, and they last well.

    EDIT EDIT:

    Quite like this too, it’s not great, but it’s OK out of a Stovetop Moka widget and wakes me up.
