...I’d like to share. Braun Cordless Independent Steam & Straight The name says it all. Bought at Boots for £17.99 Replacement energy cells also available at boots. Dimensions and ergonomics (Gnome philosophy): Good: It fits fine in my hand and feels light. Not the smallest portable straighteners, fits okay in a medium sized handbag.
