I have a unit similar to what texassierra posted. Works just fine.

Just checked. It is indeed the same.. a Groom Mate Platinum XL. Bought it back in Dec 2009 for $18.95. Big Grin

This one all the way

I go through one a year, works great for nose hair and the trimmer attachment is perfect for trimming my beard and eyebrows.


+1. I have had this one for years and works well for all your hair issues….

Philips Norelco nose/ear trimmer

I have one too, except that mine is powered by a single AA alkaline battery (good for a year of use). Works well, and doesn’t snip me. I think I paid ~$12 for it several years ago.

Thats what I use. On the plus side you don’t have to do it as often since it’s like pulling weeds instead of trimming them. Smile

I was not a fan of the groom mate. It will last a lifetime but I found it to pull hairs. When twisting you have to stay pretty still.

Philips Norelco nose/ear trimmer

I had that Norelco sickle style nose hair cutter too. It worked well until its rotary on/off switch became unreliable.

About a year ago I bought this Remington for $9.99:
https://a.co/d/iW7wyUH

It came with both a sickle cutter and a rotary cutter. The cutters are attached/detached with a crisp rotary turn. The sickle cutter is double sided – very fast. The Norelco sickle was single sided. The rotary cutter. Isn’t as fast, but it doesn’t have a tickle-inducing vibration.

Operates on a single AA battery.

This is the Panasonic one I use.
Had one for many years and just recently replaced it with the same model.

I have everything that's been mentioned. The manual rotary thing. The battery operated thing. The scissors in my manicure set like the one pictured below plus a Q tip to hold them out and past my nostrils has been the most effective for me. I use a make up magnifying mirror.
