I've used numerous different methods of trimming my nose hairs... all those electronic thingies and i still have visible hairs (not overly gross or anything but visible in the inside of my nostrils)

even tried those tiny scissors but it seems impossible to get an angle that'll work

what do you guys do to keep this area groomed?

I use one of those nose-hair trimmers. Either that, or I'll stick the side of a blade-razor up there. :shocked:

I shower and shave in 15 minutes. That's quite a bit of time.

nose-hair trimmer FTW. if this doesn't work for you, you or your nose hair have issues.

joofek: that's just f'd up son.

My eyes are watering just thinking about that.

Plus, it's a bad idea to pluck your nose hairs...talk about a bad place to get an ingrown hair!

Bah, ingrown hairs are nothing a pair of tweezers can't take care of!

nose hairs are a pita, but ear hairs are worse. I use a little pair of scissors with rounded tips. you gotta kind of clip all around inside the nostrils. It is kind of time consuming, but it is good to be well groomed.

I just use my electric razor and trim what little tries to stick out. What doesn't stick out belongs in there and no one needs to trim it.

there's no way im tweezing every hair :confused:
you dont want to tweeze every hair, just the ones venturing out into daylight. we do have nose hairs for a reason and that is why i will not use a trimmer that cuts all the hairs

Shens. You never had a nose. You've got a beak.

OP: I don't think having hairs that someone could see if they look up into your nostrils is a problem. Those hairs serve a purpose. Just make sure no hairs are sticking out and there isn't a thicket right at the nostril opening.

I use one of those electric nose hair trimmers. When I've misplaced it, I use the scissors of a small Swiss Army knife.

just get the ones that stick out of the nose or ears. The rest are there for a reason, might as well just leave them be.

When shaving the upper lip I just slip the blade part way in. Otherwise, just tweezers.

Its called a trimmer NOT a shaver. Your nasal passages don't need to be smooth as a babys behind.
