In June of 2026, I bought a Whal hair care kit, shown in the image at the right. Care of my massive hair “horde” has traditionally been a problem since any one mistake on use of a clippers and it will grab one of my hairs creating unimaginable pain. You just have to drop one or two miniscule drops of machine oil on the clipper heads every once in a while.

It goes without saying that when this happens I instantly, and forever more thereafter, refuse any invasive hair care. But what does this mean? It means that my facial hair becomes the likes of the Cave Man from Borneo! But what makes it worse is that when it becomes that thick, even the well maintained hair clippers bogg down and pull hairs again. Pappa figured out a solution. He went to his barber (Gary Reed Barbering) and asked Gary for a solution. Gary special ordered the proper clippers which went through my Borneo mess like butter. Pappa took a photo mid-clipping to illustrate just how thick my beard had become.
But then those clippers failed after a couple of years so I bought the Whal Hair Cair kit shown on the right. To keep track of this inventory, Pappa serialized them with his business inventory stickers. The serial numbers are:
The kit itself: 10298
The model PPL clippers: 10297
The supplemental trimmer: 10296
