I think we need to divide this quiz into two sections
1. Things people might know
2. Things only Xenophon knows

Perhaps one man's general knowledge is not the same as that possessed by other men...I think we need to divide this quiz into two sections

I have at home one of these items that one of my twin sons bought for me, which was on sale on e-Bay (certainly not cheap in price).
It will be best if I were to forever take my leave from this quiz and spend my next few months preparing to be an octogenarian in April 2025.
The answer to this conundrum is well-finished stone hand axes.

Don't leave. My comment was intended to be one being complimentary about your knowledge.Perhaps one man's general knowledge is not the same as that possessed by other men...

I second that. You add a great deal of interesting variety to the questions.
Yeah, the amount of knowledge I gain from @Xenophon PCDGS is invaluable in local pub quizzes! Keep posting!

So if I may step up to the plate...
Staying with axes, the Axe toiletries brand has a different name in the UK. What is it?

Sounds masculine so as a guess Lynx
To add to the praise for Xenophon even if I haven't the foggiest about a question it us always good to learn something and with Xenophon learning is a given.

Is this the stuff where the beans are recovered from cat poo?

I think the creature is called a Civet, which may indeed be a member of the cat family. The droppings are collected and cleaned before roasting.

Does it go through the digestive tracts of an elephant?

It does indeed.
Personally I prefer my coffee to have been digestive tract free.
