That's what a hipster does too.

Except he also sticks his chin out of the window whilst the brushes are going past to wash his beard. :shock:

Hipsters ride bikes not drive cars. And they definitely wouldn’t pay to get it valeted.

They'd wax it by hand using similar stuff to their beard

It saddens me every time I walk past a certain emporium of the tonsorial arts in Norwich and see the hipsterly rakes lined up for their Saturday hair dos and beard dos.

To think, this iniquitous den of beardly topiary...this garden-centre of barbiculture...used to be a perfectly lovely antique clock and watch shop.

It maketh my blood to boil. :twisted:

Can 100% agree with this, I'd have bought one but for the date window, it either needs to be at 3, at 4 or tbh not at all.

Perhaps if one looks at this from another perspective...the spirits of clocks and watches of times past might ensure timely cuts in the present...

I shaved after writing the post, then went onto the Oris site to have another look at their Sixty Five
