Nose hair

PaulStat · 19 Dec 2006 at 10:15

So how bad is your nose hair, how old are you, and how do you dispense of it?

I swear I shouldn't of had nose hair until I was 40 something but I do, most of the time I try to get at it whilst i'm shaving, i've tried plucking it before but it hurts like buggery!!!!

So I was thinking of getting one of these

Pull it out with tweezers, or ignore it. The pain makes me laugh as my eyes start to water.

Quoted! There is a satisfying crunch as you pull three or four out at a time, how the hell do they get that long anyway

The missus isn't always impressed when I use her make-up tweezers though!

My nose is way too hairy

plucking them makes me sneeze which is slightly addictive. but seriously painful!

and using them trimmers makes em proper sharp and stubbly

fill your nose with mustard to dull the pain,
and then use a 10mm drill bit

(maybe not)

Pluck them?!? Christ that is painful.

I just trim them with small scissors

mine are really thick. boy doest it hurt but for some reason, you just cant stop doing it :confused:

I'm in my late 20s and I thought mine was quite bad, I've seen worse but I couldn't stand it. I used to rip them out a few at a time until I got a trimmer, it takes a bit of getting used to but it's quicker and less painful.

If you get a trimmer, just trim them, DO NOT cut them down to the quick, I did that and had no end of snotter related difficulty for a couple of weeks.

edit: just remembered, I have one nose hair that's invincible to the blade, I **** you not. It starts way up in my hooter and within about 6 weeks it's hanging out my left nostril. I tried trimming it but it jammed the blades. It's so satisfying pulling that out and I'm always impressed with it's girth and bulbous root.

Every time I go for the pluck I cant stop thinking about Lister (Red Dwarf) plucking his with a set of pliers...

You get used to it, in fact i don't even feel it anymore.

Get a one that has the circular head rather than the flat one.

This one comes with both and does the job.

Plucking for the win... though only have to do it periodically as I don't have a lot of nose hair, at least not yet.

Whatever... I definitely remember a pair of pliers being up someones nose at some point.

Edit: my mistake, that was Bottom

i havent encountered any serious hair growth in this area (yet), but occasionally there is the odd, totally disproportionately long hair or two that pops out from nowhere which requires removal. i pluck them out but it makes me sneeze every time lol
