Ear and Nose hair Trimmers, have you used one?

jongo · 13-02-2009, 19:36

I have been using scissors for long enough now but I am going to give up the ghost in the morning and buy a trimmer

I am fed up of slitting my nose and chopping my ears

Has anyone else got one?
What are they like?
Any good?

I bought one for hubby and he thinks it's better than getting scissors stuck up his nose.

I use one. It makes a buzzing noise but does the job quick and efficiently. Its safe too.

Daven · 13-02-2009, 22:16

Where to buy one though ?

The RADICAL · 13-02-2009, 22:20

They sell them at Argos, Boots etc. They require a battery and come with their own little brush to clean them with.

Are they any good for back, sack and crack?

The size of your crack, surfin', you'd be better off with a lawn mower.

I wanted to buy one of these for ...personal care reasons...to see if it would work. My OH had the day off work so she went to Argos...couldn't find any so she came back with a 22 piece barber's kit and a massive set of clippers, which shall not be used for the said 'personal care' but we now save money on the hair dresser.

Just bought one from Asda, will be giving it a try later

Grissom · 14-02-2009, 17:03

I have one of these from Argos - can't go wrong for 2 quid - the light is good idea but doesnt line up with what you're cutting. Inside of snotty nose isnt nice to look at so probably a good thing

jongo · 14-02-2009, 17:06

Bluddy ell, I have just paid £13 from Asda

If you're really lucky you may get a girlfriend who helpfully pulls them out for you, like I do so lovingly for my BF when his eyebrow forest threatens to join up with nasal forest.

Occasionally I even warn him before grabbing them and pulling

It keeps him on his toes you know.

I promise youn it isn't sadistic, it's painless give it a go and you will be so impressed. I do my Husbands and he threw the crappy trimmers away after getting scab after scab up his nose!
It's done using a non strip wax, takes 5 mins and voila!!!

RiffRaff · 14-02-2009, 18:42

I remember Dave Allen's comments about ageing, and how hair began to sprout from every orifice.
He complained about his ears, his nose, even his eyebrows being out of control, before commenting about the across his shoulder blades.
He didn't know whether it was hair growing down from his neck, or up from his @rse.....

Apologies for resurrecting an older thread, but thought this would be more appropriate than a new thread on the same topic.

I am heading towards the Dave allen problem as above, at least in respect of nose & ears.

Regarding what Donna suggested, how often would the waxing need to be done?

Trimmers: Do others find these effective & trouble free or do you also get scabs up your nose? Donna, were the scabs caused by “cutting”? if not, what caused them?

If I got some trimmers I would want some that do not buzz too loud. I got some hair trimmers that are very quiet and the make is WAHL, they are quite good.

The rotating head versions can catch a bit more, the conventional style trimmer head is better.

I'd also suggest a set which uses a power cord instead of batteries. (Consistent power)

Steptoad · 08-01-2011, 15:36

I've got one of the cheap Asda ones and never had a problem, no cutsor painfull pulls or snagging.
