I just pulled one about 10 minutes ago and ask myself every time if it's worth the pain and suffering. The answer is yes.

I just cut. One time I used rubbing alcohol to disinfect the inside of my nose. Holy shit, that stung.

I like the pain. Its like something I look forward to at night when I'm getting ready for bed. Pull out the tweezers, pluck some nose hairs, lay them out on my finger and admire them..

Then I wash them down the sink, wash my face, brush my teeth, and go to bed.

I need to. Any recommendations?

I have a Braun which just has several attachments for beard trimming, detailed shaving (as in smaller areas, not really for the whole face), and also nose trimming. Works very well and you can just swap to whatever you need at the time, rather than having separate devices for everything.

Wow! Good luck to you people who pull nose hairs. Don't you know that there are blood vessels in your nose? Wait until you pull one from the wrong area. Pain won't be your worst problem. Try bleeding enough to overfill the cup of your hand. It works best when later that day you are standing on a good friend's white carpet. Make that ex-good friend. And then another day later, you're taking a shower and you see a gush of blood. Fun, fun, fun.

I have a trimmer but sometimes there's that one stupid hair that's growing from the back of your nose that you just have to pluck. Then you gasp at the 3 inch monstrosity that comes out.

Plucking nose hairs always ends up with an ingrown one inside of my nose and even more painful event that lasts for days. Bleh. I just use a trimmer and try to tame as best as possible.

Why is it at a certain age hairs start growing out of some weird places on your body?

I realized I am well into middle age earlier this week when I extracted a white hair from my nose. All been downhill from there.

How to Be a Real Man #58:

Place a healthy dab of super glue on the blunt end of a pencil. Stick pencil up nose and leave it there until glue has dried, then give it a healthy yank.

No more nose hair, and it takes mere seconds.
