Aging and nose hairs: what's your solution?

Triathlon Forum
1

Sadly, it’s a reality, well at least for me. The more I age, I feel I have more and more huge hair growing inside the nose. Up to the point where it impedes air flow through the nose. I have to cut and trim every week. I tried a few nose hair trimmer models, but there is something wrong with the designs, they spin forever, and cut only a few hair at a time. And for me the more I paid, the least they work well. Or I’m just too fussy ?
Mini nose hair scissors ? Not for me, I tried.
Is nose hair removal reallly a thing ? Or just a practical joke ? I saw a few videos and can’t think It’s something one would do voluntarily.

Sorry but I have to ask is this question really relevant (or interesting) to anything or anybody on this forum?

The little scissors and cheap electric trimmer work decent enough for me. Occasionally I’ll just tweeze the one stray hair poking out. If you want to inhale and feel like you just sniffed two pumps of Afrin I’d suggest a cheap self wax kit. I haven’t been brave enough to try it yet but two q-tips dipped in wax and then put in there does the trick from what I’ve seen.

No but I’m sure there are plenty of male grooming forums with members who’d love to answer this sort of thing.

Nasal waxing?

😱

I just pluck them once every other week. For me though its the ear hair, lol, I feel like I could trim them everyday

I wish there was a Medical forum in ST for guys like there’s a Women’s forum.

Philips nasal hair trimmer, works a treat for me!

I’m worried about the ear hair side of things - although thankfully my father (who’s rising 80) doesn’t have them, so I might just be ok in future!

I actually use my beard trimmer to get my nose hairs. I never found the nose hair attachment to work all that well so I just use the trimmer and it works great.

You guys will talk about anything… I’m 60 and have been dealing with this for years. I use cheap disposable razors, and just stick it in my nose, rotate 360 one way, the turn it around and 360 the other way, and good to go in about 5 seconds. I thought that’s what everyone did. I do my ears the same way.

Pair of pliers and a few tears. Htfu

Plucked by hand for years. Never kept up with it as much as the wife would like because it hurt. Only did it when they got unruly.

Purchased this thing. Game-changer. Pain free. WAY cleaner look.

I singe mine off with a paper match. Wood match burns too hot for my minor growth but it might be just what you need for your extreme case.

Wait, you stick a disposable razor in your nose? How big is your nose?

That’s what I was thinking.

I’m hoping someone gives an answer as to how much waxing hurts, because I hate having stubble in my nose.

16

I use the small scissors that came with my clippers.

17

tweezers.

Dude I feel yah. And plucking them is painful.

tweezers.

Yeah, I do that, and I just use my fingers, but I want a one (Or I guess 2) and done solution. :slight_smile:

Been doing it for over 40 years. Snug fit is what makes it work well. Try it. Like I mentioned, it’s one of those things I figured out on my own, and just thought it’s what everyone did… until some off the wall thread on a triathlon forum taught me otherwise. What a weird world.
