The oil for my clippers has just run out (literally - seems that the
bottle is about as oil-tight as a Royal Enfield or Sunbeam S7/8!).
Went to Boots, only Philips spray stuff/cleanser at £silly.
I hope that the oil isn't just light mineral oil - not the sort of stuff
I want on such implements.

Is there a 'special' oil and a source? Can't seem to find anything
useful.

If it were me, I'd just walk half a mile to the Wahl UK warehouse!

Seriously....I'd try a specialist razor shop. They have that sort of
stuff too.
