manikyr- och pedikyrsaxar


Explanation:
Engelsmännen är kanske inte så noga med vad de har för saxar i badrummet. Det kan ju även röra sig om hårsaxar, eller till och med nageltänger.

disagree  Eva-Marie Adams: Jag vet att jag har olika saxar i badrummet- inte bara för naglarna, - då jag använder en nagelklippare- jag tror inte man kan begränsa det till bara en nagelsax.
