Nose/Ear Hair Trimmer
For some reason, every year that I get older my body decides I need less hair on my head and much, much more up my nose or in my ears.

Since plucking them makes me cry and swear like a Tourette's sufferer watching ET after his dog died of cancer, I decided to spend a whole 3 quid on a nose and ear hair trimmer.

The 'trimmer' bit tickles like fuck and makes me sneeze, but I may as well be using a spoon to do the job for all the hair it removes.

Oh, and whoever down their had problems with their BigTrak, all you had to do was build a ramp over the doorsteps. My brother made mine go down the stairs and both it and the ultra fancy trailer broke. I took it to bits and couldn't put it back together again :(

Rather than using tweezers or whatever, use snub nosed pliers. Yanking 10 hairs at a go only hurts a bit more than yanking 1 or 2. If it hurts too much you pass out so don't get an elongated period of pain, and at least when you come round you won't sneeze.

bad advice alert
if you get too many hairs you will pull out some of your nose and it will bleed. a lot!

ooh, never had this happen but I can see what you mean. A rethink may be in order.

My barber is quite cool
He dips a big cotton bud thingies in meths, sets it alight, then waves it close to my ears to get rid of the newborn alsatian look I tend to get if left alone.

Not so great for nose hairs, but there's something satisfying about giving yourself an eye-watering sneezing fit in front of the bathroom mirror.

I got the sneezes too
I have some budget beard trimmer, which is OK, but the nasal hair attachment doesn't seem to actually cut any nasal hair. It cuts moustache hair OK though, as I found out when a sudden trimmer induced sneeze caused a panicked withdrwal, to avoid stabbing myself in the brain. Instead I dragged the bastard thing straight down my top lip, leaving a lovely, neat, quarter-inch-wide, diagonal line through the bristle. I'm back with the tweezing, crying and swearing now.
