And if you look around you can often pick them up second hand.

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.

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

A proper butter knife.

Don't think you can buy them, you have to wait for an old person to die.
