How Much Should You Spend On Nose Hair Clippers?

November 23rd, 2009

Nose hair clippers are one of those devices that some people have absolutely no need for, yet for others, they are absolutely essential. If you’ve found yourself with visible nose hair that didn’t used to be so visible, it might be time to invest in this handy little tool. An electric nose hair trimmer is safer, more effective, more consistent, and more time-effective than trying to trim your nose hair by hand. So if you have finally acknowledged that you are ready to give this tool a try, here is what you can expect to spend on the nose hair clippers themselves, and how to go about buying them.

Top Brands

As with any product, not all nose hair clippers are created equally. Some brands have a better reputation for their clippers, and with their overall product line, than others do. In many cases, price and quality understandably correspond, yet it shouldn’t be hard to get nose hair clippers that you are happy with for a reasonable price.

Some of the most popular manufacturers for nose hair trimmers include Tweezerman and Conair (on the lowest end of the price spectrum), Panasonic (in the middle), and Hammacher Schlemmer and Sharper Image (on the fancy end).

Options

The biggest choice you will make in selecting the nose hair clippers to buy is the level of performance and options that you want. On the most basic end are simple manual nose hair trimmers, which work not unlike spring-loaded scissors with a round attachment. On the high end, there are electric nose hair clipper attachments that come as part of a comprehensive men’s grooming set (complete with hair cutting, beard trimming, moustache grooming, ear hair trimming, and even body hair controlling tools).

Price Ranges

Both of the categories above play a role in how much your trimmers cost. A simple manual nose hair trimmer from Tweezerman can cost $15, while a high end multi-function grooming set from Wahl will run $40. Even higher end names cost even more, but for most people, electric nose hair clippers in the $20-$30 are more than sufficient for everyday maintenance and comfort.

Manual Vs. Electric Nose Hair Clippers

October 13th, 2009

If you are dealing with unsightly nose hair, don’t be embarrassed. This is a very common issue, especially for males who are getting older. Nose hair and ear hair, as you age, may become thicker, longer, and therefore, more noticeable.

However, nose hair clippers make it very easy to deal with this hair in a quick and relatively affordable way. It should also be painless. (If you have nose hair clippers that hurt to use, this is not good; you should really consider getting a new pair.)

When you go about looking for trimmers, you’ll find that you have quite a bit of choices ahead of you. Of course, every pair and every product is a bit different. There are some that they all have in common (such as the general shape of the blades and trimmer end: it’s small and round so it fits inside your nose, of course). But there are some differences.

Differences include things like size, versatility, design, price, and materials, but let’s focus on one of the first choices you’ll make: whether you want manual or electric nose hair clippers.

Manual nose hair clippers

Manual clippers look sort of like a small single-hole punch, with a nose hair trimmer end, of course. Here are the pros and cons of manual nose hair clippers.

  • PROS: Small and extremely portable, no need to worry about power source or recharging, generally quite affordable.
  • CONS: Not as versatile, may not work as smoothly, hard for those with arthritis, harder to just replace blade attachment.

Electric nose hair clippers

These come in more different options and designs, and their appearance is less like a hole punch and more like a small electric toothbrush (again, with a different end). Here are the pros and cons of electric nose hair clippers.

  • PROS: Often more advanced in design, electric models often have rubber grip handles and ergonomic shapes that are easy to hold. They take no grip or force to operate (since they’re electric) and are quick fast and effective.
  • CONS: More expensive and take up more room. They also mean you have to make sure a power source is available (or make sure batteries are charged).
