Once upon a time, male grooming used to be the preserve of the few. Chaps who appeared in glossy ads. Suave secret agents. Airline stewards. Those sort of chaps. Now, it's everyone's game, and a bloke can't so much as move in Boots without being asked where the fragrance-free moisturiser is. Those dashed insightful Swiss johnnies at Wenger - the company behind the original and best Swiss Army Knife - have perfected the ultimate solution for discreet filing, trimming and clipping. Their latest ergonomically shaped clippers might look like a conventional Swiss Army Knife and feel like conventional Swiss Army knife, but instead of chopping, stripping and opening, they're used for transforming and beautifying.

A mere 2.5 inches in length (that's 6cm if you prefer it in metric) this swish Swiss tool manages to squeeze-in nail clippers, a nail file and cleaner, not to mention scissors, a tooth-pick and tweezers, into its titchy but easy to grip frame. And they truly have thought of everything, right down to the tiniest detail - for even the scissors are self-sharpening. In all, seven implements and eight functions are secreted inside this alpine accessory - a mini marvel of manicure set, and not a moment too soon.
