I need to go buy a GOOD nose hair cutter. My wife gives me holy ****
because my nose hair grows faster than any other hair on my body. I have a cheeeeeep Conair right now, and it doesn't work very well, and is always falling into parts. I expect to spend about $25. Maybe even put it on my Christmas list for someone in the family who draws my name. What is a good unit? Steve |

Washes off in the shower and the results are flawless. http://www.naircare.com/products/products_lotions.aspx I left some on my cheek for several minutes and got a minor chemical burn. So, rinse it off just like it says in the instructions. --Winston |

I'd say it works OK. It definitely works best right after a hot shower, and with a fresh battery. |

I use a Groom Mate, which is completely mechanical, and cuts far better than the electric units I have used, probably because the Groom Mate blades are actually sharp. https://www.groommate.com/ I actually bought it through Amazon, where you will find my review (buried under 430 other reviews). http://www.amazon.com/Groom-Mate-Platinum-Nose-Trimmer/dp/B000EBFJXS Joe Gwinn |

Well, the HF units are right out of that argument, so don't pay any attention to the $3.99 sale I did last week. sigh I prefer the rotary type, but they need to be sharp or your li'l tenders get pulled out by the root. DAMHIKT I think the Brauns are too expensive for your gift exchange, but I've heard they're well made. Since I've been given and bought only the cheapies, I can't give you any advice on how the more expensive ones fare. Maybe these'll help: http://nose-hair-trimmers.org/ (great billboard!) http://www.askmen.com/fashion/fashio...on_advice.html -- Invest in America: Buy a CONgresscritter today! |

I suppose that hair diameter would matter, though. Joe Gwinn |

MSDS says we should not drink it or put it in our eyes. https://www2.itap.purdue.edu/msds/docs/4192.pdf Sounds reasonable to me. As long as it is rinsed off after 3 minutes with a few gallons of heated Hydric Acid per instructions, I can't imagine it to be unreasonably hazardous. I haven't experienced any issues with it and it works better than anything else I've tried. Here's the MSDS for Hydric Acid: http://www.dhmo.org/msdsdhmo.html It's a perspective thing. Some folks snip ear hair using a nice sharp pair of scissors. (That is potentially nasty!)

Just between you and me, the cream sounds safer. But I use a rechargeable cutter with changeable blades from Walmart. Works well. Was about $18 a couple years ago. Upthread, you see that I use a similar tool for my schnozz. It works just fine. --Winston |

Ebay has 'em for $13, free shipping. Nice stocking stuffer. Haven't had to replace the battery (batteries? I dunno) yet, though it's been in use for about a year. I use it about once a week. It says "fully immersible" but I use it dry. Don't intend to find out whether that claim is true. :-) -- Best -- Terry |
