I've always told my wife that if I went missing, she could more than likely find me in Montana.

Been to Montana once...in the late spring...I thought it was very pretty. Been all around America actually...Too many people for my tastes and not enough wide open spaces...Doesn't mean there aren't any of course, just that I didn't see any.

Yup, Montana is just plain crowded!


I don't know if it is still the case, but years ago on cross country drives I always tried to reach Montana early in the day because of their speed limit, which simply was "reasonable and prudent!" I think the night time speed limit was 65, so daylight in Montana meant for a much faster trip!

Sorry, I meant the U.S in general. Montana is rural residential compared to the state I live in. Two hours drive west of the city I live in and there are fewer people and more open spaces than any two Montana's put together. That's pretty much most of Australia once you get away from the coastal fringes.

I actually use my auto nose hair clippers regularly... my wife told me to.

Just got these from the flea market at the price of € 4.
Atlas clippers with some spare/extra parts made in Solingen Germany. Just have to clean them and check if the cutter blade needs sharpening. Shouldn't be too difficult. I'll let you know how they work once i've used them.

Be careful to keep the clipper cutting before you move it! If you do not keep squeezing the handles(clipping), and move the clipper, you will PULL out some hair! It took me only a few times to realize not to stop clipping before moving. After use, continue squeezing(clipping mode) while blowing out hair clippings.

I keep mine oiled with thin oil. Once adjusted, I never disassemble the blades. ALWAYS do blow out the accumulated debris. Keep clipper in a good dry location. Blades will rust and become dull if not cared for.

All I use mine for is to keep goatee and mustache looking neat. Manual clippers are perfect for that. I found mine on Ebay. Good luck, RRR

No, not weird at all. Unfortunately you really can't see the clippers in this photo.

And just for the heck of it, here is how we took a shower in the Cav.
