Nose hairs

Some work collegues and I were discussing nose hairs, as you do. I mentioned that I use a straight razor to trim my nose hairs. At first they thought I was joking, but then once the realised that I wan't joking and actuallly put a straight razor up my nostril for the purpose of trimming nose hairs they just thought I was crazy.

Does anyone else here use their straight razor for trimming nose hairs? If so, what type of razor works best for that purpose? I find that a square point works best for me.

LOL - I've heard some say that's a good use for the barber's notch on straights....

Not I! A razor may fit, but who knows the landscape in there? An electric little trimmer for me or some scissors.
Gonna stuff some lather in there too? :D

Real men just "yanks" them out!

Would love to see a vid of somebody trimming nose hairs with a SR

Too hard to hold the nose out of the way, manipulate the razor AND operate the camera...Its all fun and games until someone loses an eye!:nono:

I've used a Mimizori which is like 2/8 kamisori. Mimi is "ear in Japanese so they are used for ear hair trimming.

I'd just as soon use a good pair of scissors.

Tweezer for this old dog.

I employ several techniques, one of which is using a straight; ripping them out and flame from a bic lighter, funny but it works...

I've used the lighter technique a few times, but it was alway side effect of trying to light very short left handed cigarettes

I don't know what the thing is called but I've used a twisty thing with several blades that rotate against each other for years. It's much safer for sticking into your nose and ears.

Used the lighter trick myself a couple of times. Here's a tip, don't try it with a Zippo blu.

Old time barbers would never use a razor for the nose. They used a pair of scissors.

There are many tools just for that. Feather makes a really neat little mechanical trimmer that works great.

I'm with Pix
I wanna see that video LOL

After my razor passes the HHT, I move on to the NHT.

If you can stick the pain pluck them, not for the faint hearted but you do build up a certain tolerance after a while speed is your friend while attempting this scary procedure.:D

Yup, my favored way; just grab a good bunch of em and rip.

Ouch!!! I use an electric trimmer and a manually operated twisting tool, both designed for the purpose. It sucks getting older. :shrug:

I second Bill's motion.

I have done it with a straight, but only when one is sticking out. Just a gentle press of the blade; kind of like popping a single arm hair (but not at the base). It's really not a big deal, at least not the way I do it. I usually just leave the hairs be, though.

any body else wake up with a nose hair irritating the inside of their nose (so that i feels like you've got allergy's and your nose won't stop running)? the only way i can find the culprit is to shine a flashlight up there and try to get it with a scissors. they must be terribly stiff to get lodged in there and cause that kind of irritation.
What is the preferred lighter method?

Before sticking a razor up my nose I'd braid the stuff. Scissors or electric rotary for me.

Small electric/battery trimmer or scissors for me. I do my ears the same, unless my good lady starts ripping them out. Not my nose, just my ears!

New hanging hair test.

Flaming baton is the only way to do nose hairs. If you want to save time and multitask, duct tape two lit matches perpendicular to your straight and they'll burn the nose hairs while you do the coup de maitre...

James.

I have a small pair of blunt nose scissors. works for me.

I use either a Notched razor or a square point, BBS nostrils :D....I also will employ small scissors built for deeper exploration. Nothing more irritating than a wild hair...

Measuring the risk and the reward, I'd rather stick to proven, more conventional means.


B.

I never recall having to trim nose hairs.

Ear hair? That is another story.

This is one of the downsides of collecting those big-ol' one-inch blades....
I'm not putting one of them up in there anytime soon;)

only seen one guy "kinda" do it. sure most have seen this video but maybe never thought about the fact he goes up the nose lol.

With all your fine videos I can't believe you haven't sliced and diced some nose hairs, Mag's.

that day will come when i get old and have nose hair :)

Philips electric only for me!

I use the little scissors that my old lady has for cutting her split ends. This is exactly why I have to tolerate her trimming her split ends with my straights. It's a give and take relationship but I love her.

This is what I do. Not that it means I'm a "real man" or anything, but it just makes your eyes water a bit if you have more than few to take care of. Nothing to worry about, really.

That's what needle nose-pliers were originally made to do

Almost spit my coffee out while reading this.

If not an electric nose hair trimmer, I just use a mini pair of round tip scissors that are specifically meant for this. Straight razors do not belong in the nasal passage.
