Way back when I was joining the world of full time employment I worked in a Chemist. This chemist in the UK is a huge chain that sells everything from drugs to electric razors, which was the department I was working on at the time.
For those of you who don't use an electric razor they are seperated into two broad groups, foil and rotary. Both have blades that need to be replaced every 18 months or so. We sold said parts.
So far all is right with the world.
Enter the customer.
The customer who had no idea about boundries. Or hygeine.
This customer (no specifics for there are many) would very often be shaving in the morning and notice a pinching whilst doing so, look at the foil and see a tear (ouch). They would then troop into the store and want a new foil.
"Where is the problem Crazylegs?" I hear you cry?
The model number is located under the foil. Where the hair clippings go. On a shaver that hasn't been cleaned in MONTHS!, quite possibly since new.
Enter crazylegs. After a while I got so annoyed I carried about three pairs of latex gloves as more often than not you would remove the foil and be greeted by a veritable snowstorm of hair clippings. Greasy, compacted hair clippings. Normally accompanied by a smell that could be picked up in a distance measured in time zones.
Why take a product to a store to get a replacement part that essentially had dead bodily parts in it? WHY NOT CLEAN THE DAMN THING OUT? so I don't have your beard all down my leg.
Yuck.
