The one I have is a Mercur I got NOS. Yes they were made that way. I imagine they were designed for trim work. I can't shave with it because its so small its hard to manipulate and wants to move on its own but for close in work its fantastic.

I usually go after the fuzz and any stray hairs with whatever is the razor of the day. This afternoon though, I caused a blood-letting by allowing my concentration to lapse. Just a gentle touch on the earlobe with the point-
,oopps. Ears really BLEED.

When the ear hair gets noticable, out comes the cotton bud dipped in aftershave and lit. few taps with this in the appropriate areas sorts it quick time.

Yes they do. Several years ago I kept my hair long and cut it when needed myself. I stopped doing that when one morning I clipped the top of my ear clean down to the cartlidge with some rather large 10 inch pattern shears... the gory details have been chronicled in my autobiographical tome: Death of a Mullet Originally Posted by Lt.Arclight

No. You only tap the flaming cotton bud on the areas to be addressed. Originally Posted by RichZ

They do, indeed. The following picture brought to you courtesy of a spike tip and some negligence. Originally Posted by Lt.Arclight

I cut my ear before my first straight ever touched my face, and have been careful not to go near it ever since. Let the hair grow. Braid it or decorate it or move north and wear earmuffs. Just don't go at it with a straight!

Yeah, mine have gotten to the point where I was thinking of braiding them too. But I actually use a little manual rotary clipper, which is awkward because I have to hold it with one hand and turn the knob with the other. I'm going to try a better quality device like this one. Once in a while I'll very gingerly run a DE over the top edge--those hairs are hard to get with my little gadget.
Personally, old curmudgeon that I am, I tend to avoid battery-powered and electric stuff, and to trust my ears to a straight ... well ...
