Nose hairs. I suspect I am not alone in my take on this important issue for aging men. A few years back I bought a pair of those dainty little round nose shears to try to prune my nostrils. I bought those after a few bloody encounters with some really sharp point little trimmer scissors that my wife uses for something. After a several ungratifying bouts with the round tip shears, I decided to give in to my inner neanderthal and snatch 'em out by the fistful. There are few things in life as satisfying as reaching up in there about two knuckles deep and uprooting a wad of nose hairs that would put the average ball of west Texas tumbleweed to shame. Next time I grab a Boone and Crockett grade batch I'll post a pic for you. How about y'all, snatch or trim?
I am pretty sure that reason isn't to floss my teeth, so at a point something's got to give.
that's wisdom right there, don't care who you are.
I have to trim, if I snatch, I be sneezing up a storm
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
buy a beard trimmer that has a little head that fits in yer nostril and ears. zing zing and no more hair and no tears. i cut the fugg out of my beak one time with those little cuticle scissors. fugger wouldn't stop bleeding.

That must be what I borrowed from my wife. Those little fuukers are vicious.
BBQ lighter. Burns those suckers right out, doesn't hurt and doesn't stink...too badly.
That sounds tempting. How far up in there do you go? Do you hold the trigger back part way for a few seconds before you squeeze it past the strike point? It seems like you'd get a good gas build up in there for maximum effectiveness.
I miss them when I cut my hair, bald cut so takes no skill. Them, ear hairs, hair growing on top of ears, unibrow, all. So the next recourse is to grab a handful at every red light and yank, then throw it out the window. I still have all my hair, it just ain't on top.
Go ahead and pull that nose hair if you're O.K. with the possibility of an infection that close to your brain. Burning is an even more foolish an idea, use the beard trimmer.
Guy came into our dorm room one evening......naked as a jay bird and screaming for help.
He had very recently shaved his nipple clean off. Apparently a nipple is very vascular.....it was bleeding pretty well.
Someone suggested he find his nipple and put it in a glass of milk.....in case it could be re-attached. Sadly, his nipple had gone down the drain.
Grooming is dangerous.
I was a lifeguard in high school. One day the chicks convinced one of the hairy guys to wax his chest. He lasted one wax strip. Too painful. Then he got all sorts of ingrown hairs and wore a tank top at the pool to cover it up while on duty for a week or two while we made fun of him. Probably avoid hot wax and edged weapons for the manscaping is my advice.
Crocs and nose hair trimmers.............city folks!
What do youse guys use to keep the razor burn down when you shave off your chest hair?
Vagisil?
Wait till you get older, you will have more hair growing out of your nose and ears than your head and appreciate putting your tired azz dogs into something other than a pair of boots.
Yup, trim nose, ears, and shave back of neck, i gotta try to keep from completely repulsing my wife as I get older.
Back of neck hair AKA neck beard AKA "neard"... why I shave the head. Stuff itches on the back of the neck. Especially with a collared shirt. That's why I shave my head- shave the back of the neck at the same time and don't need to get the neard shaved on the regular. Head and back of neck every other day in the shower with cheap conditioner instead of the shave cream/goop.
Before you do either, consider the benefits of lettin' 'em grow. It may look as though this is a mustache, but all of that stuff spread above the upper lip is nose hair - let it grow until it spreads out real well, and it's nice and wavy too. Never have to worry about what to do with nose hair, or infection from snatching, or cuts from trimming. Wimmin seem to love it - boogers and all. Be a man - go natural.

True story - when I had shoulder surgery, the prep nurse came in and informed me she would need to shave the area, including part of the chest. I told her that was fine - "Just. please, leave the nipple." After a laugh, she agreed to be careful. About 1 year later, I went back to have the other shoulder repaired - and wound up with the same prep nurse. The minute I spoke, she said "Oh yeah, you're the 'please leave the nipple' guy!" My response - "Guilty as charged."

Damn right, cant stand that crap sanding the material outta my collars, and yes, cant stand hair long enough to touch my ears either, was late on a haircut by a couple weeks awhile back, i started looking like one of these SE Okla heroin addicts.
Was about to go out in the barn and grab the old horse shear and buzz it myself.
i have a issue with long nose hairs. In my case they tickle when i am trying to go to sleep. wife got me this little electric nose hair trimmer with a light. works pretty good.

Yep. Being 100% near 1st gen American Italian I resemble a bear. Wife loves it, sister was disgusted when I hit 16...
LOL, Yup, Scotch/Irish here crossbred with Osage injun, Wifey loves it too, she says it doesn't matter which side I'm sleeping on, she can slide over and stay warm. poor thing ;]
I use an electric razor, and use the side-burn trimmer to cut the nose hair flush (drives me nuts when they get tangled with the cookie-duster ) and also to trim the aforementioned "wolf hairs" off my ears. When my hair starts to give the appearance of Julius Caesar with his olive-leaf crown. (Or Bozo the clown), it's time for a haircut! (It's the easy maintenance program) Being bald on top, and having "hat-hair" gives clues!

5.0 out of 5 starsA warning from across the pond... ByA. Chappellon July 3, 2012 Format: Health and Beauty After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly succesful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat. I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considerd myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn't have long to wait. At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel of in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned .Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the drawer for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon.I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so.I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running it's engines behind me. This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before. unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good ". Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involutary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status...So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect...:)
Gotta trim nose hair now and then - when it gets too long it tickles and makes me sneeze when out on my motorcycle.
Get that picture in your head - the nose hair waving in the breeze motoring down the highway....
I was having dinner with a buddy one evening as he was bitching to me on why he couldn't find a woman, this coming from a man with dander on his collar, a half roll of barbed wire hair in each nostril and at least a half a pan of cornbread in his teeth.
I just shook my head smiling and said women are crazy buddy, lmao!

Friggin eyebrows going crazy too. Brezhnev type of chit. Half Mediterranean............kid said I had a stragler, grabbed and pulled. Heard it go "pop"................sonofabiatch was anchored to the inside of the back of my skull. Sounded like a piano wire snapped. Kid freaked...............I just put my hand over my eye.............damn that one hurt.

Nose hairs aint diddly. Grow way faster though.
My wife will do that to me on occasion. The right one will bring a tear to my eye.
I attribute this topic to God’s sense of humor. I’m not sure when it occurred but about the time I thinned out the cover on top, hair begin sprouting out of my nose and my ears, my back and neck. My goodness, if an old guy isn’t attentive, in a week’s time, one could start to resemble Spencer Tracy’s Dr Jekyl in that old movie.
I heard from a Dr. once that pulling nose hairs is a good way to get an infection that can rapidly access the brain. Been a trimmer for the most part ever since.
Have had a nose hair come through the top of my nose before. Yesterday had a spot (nostril near tip of nose) biopsied. That unpleasantness ranks pulling hairs at "pantywaist" level. Needles or freezing any part of the nose are awful! As a kid, put bandaid over sunburned nose. When it pulled off it took weeks for the discomfort to stop. Therefore, I say STOP PULLING and use rounded scissors or electric trimmers.

This thread seems to support your doctor’s hypothesis.

I have an Uncle that died from cancer complications that started with a plucked nose hair.
I have tried it all & found that my facial hair is like a steel bristle, thus it dulls even good blades on razors & scissors.
My wife purchased an electric depilatory trimmer & it works like a champ for trimming the forestry & underbrush that now cultivates in my nose.
I also carry one of THESE in my shoulder bag for when I'm not home.

I was on a couple jobs, working long hours and then an hour and a half more to drive back to town..I had a tendency to nod off coming home...that's where I found that yanking just one nose hair will keep you wide awake for another few miles. Rolling the window down does not work.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
Swiss Army knife scissors. Be sure to do the deed before or well after drinking coffee, need steady hands. Preferred site is in the truck because I can see better in natural light.

For God's sake buy and use an electric nose/ear trimmer. Much gentler and safer.
Can't believe nobody has mentioned my method - safe and easy, no pulling, no cancer, no propane torches. Use a fingernail clipper and snip them off, its slightly curved and fits right up in there. A few snips here and there and its done...you can thank me later.
To the OP's question, i use a Wahl rechargeable job with the circular head on it to poke up your nose and earlobes. Gets the job done, but It is not very powerful so when it does actually snip a hair you can hear it in real time. Almost as good as the mosquito zapper on a summer night.

I'm slightly confused. It's the end of December, every time my snot freezes, there's some nose hair that necessarily comes out when I wipe my nose. By the time February comes around, I'm as clean as a teenager again.....
Problem is, the 'stache suffers as well. And no relief from ear hair. Darn it all.

Friends-DON'T SHAVE YOUR ASS-HAIR! Before shaving your ass hair, READ THIS
STOP! Before you do, read this. You may change your mind.
I have recently made a mistake in my life, and I offer my story to all though tasteless, that you may learn from my error. It all started, as many things do, with me having trouble pooping. No, I was not constipated; this was not a regularity problem but a matter of technique. It seems my ass-hair had grown to such a length that tiny grogans were constantly getting tied up in the matted jungle between my asscheeks. It led to much frustration, with me KNOWING that I still had something to drop, but unable to shake the tenacious turd loose from its butthair dwelling.
Eventually I would have to do two things: either reach down with some paper and try to pinch off the lingering loaf (which required careful precision to avoid smearing the creature all over my rear, especially since I had no way of seeing what I was doing) or just go for broke, start wiping, and hope that I could remove all the leftover fecal matter before the toilet paper reached its Can't-Be-Flushed threshold. I was contemplating this problem, when I had what seemed at the time to be a bright idea. "Hey, this is my butt and my butt-hair, right? So why don't I just eliminate all the hair, and then my grogans will flow out like beer from a keg!" I said to myself. It is a statement that will go down in history with a lot of other regretted statements. "How many Indians could there be?" said by General Custer. "Looks like a good day for a drive!" by JFK. "There! America On-line now has complete Usenet access!" by some idiot system tech. Such was my anal shaving idea.
I performed the operation that night, with a cheap disposable razor and a towel to sit on. Starting from the bottom, and shaving from the crack to the cheeks, I began the arduous process of ridding my ass of hair. Occasionally, I would have to clean the razor of accumulated hair, which I did by wiping it on the towel. Slowly, my twin mounds and the between-ravine began to resemble the hairless cheeks of a newborn babe. Finally, I wiped the razor one last time, and surveyed my work. The towel was covered with a pile of hair. My ass was smooth as ivory. I smiled, satisfied, thinking my troubles were over.
Little did I know. I now have a great respect for anal-hair. Like everything in this world God created, it has its mighty purpose in existence. It was only after I had removed it that I started to learn how much I had been taking it for granted. For one, it provides friction. I learned this the next day, when I walked out into the sun heading for class. After climbing two flights of stairs and starting to sweat, I started to notice something unpleasant. The sweat was accumulating in my crack, and was causing the unpleasant sensation of my two asscheeks sliding past each other with every step. I thought about going to the bathroom and wiping it off, but had to get to class. Eventually, I thought, it would dry. Unfortunately, it did dry, but only after mingling with the microscopic poop -molecules lingering around my brown starfish. When I stood up after class, my cheeks were stuck together with a slimy sticky poop/sweat combination. As I made my way back to my dorm, it started to itch. God-DAMN, did it itch! Felt like a swarm of ants was making its way up and down my crack. Fighting to keep from jamming my hand down there and scratching away, I rushed back to the dorm. Unfortunately, this exertion caused me to sweat, and when I finally reached my room, my cheeks were sliding back and forth against each other like a pair of horny cane-toads. I quickly dropped my pants, and attempted to dry my ass off by sticking it in front of a fan and spreading my cheeks.
As I pulled the two mounds of flesh apart, a horrible stench burst free and filled the room. Every dog within a 4 block radius started to howl. I had it worst of all, as the ripe aroma of festering poop/sweat went into the fan and blew back into my face. I fought to keep from heaving. And as I sat there, fighting vomit, my ass cheeks spread and dripping, with the concentrated aroma of my body odor mixed with the tangy smell of my own poop blowing right into my face, I had only one thought: "It will be like this until the hair grows back. Weeks." Later on, trying to deal as best I could, wiping my ass at every opportunity, I discovered another wonderful use for ass-hair - ventilation. I attempted to launch a fart, only to have it get stuck between my asscheeks.
Apparently, with no hair, the two pink twins can get vacuum sealed together, and the result was a frustrating fart that slid up and down between my cheeks like a lost gerbil. As if that wasn't enough, I am now enduring further torture. As anyone who has ever shaved anything knows, when hair is first growing in, it comes in as stubble. Imagine your ass having the texture of a brillo pad.
Well, that is what I am dealing with now. It is a hellish torture, and there are many times when I just look out the window and contemplate why I shouldn't just jump out and get it all over with in one fleshy splat, rather than endure this constant agony.
Friends-DON'T SHAVE YOUR ASS-HAIR!
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Bloody damn mess that was, ugly very ugly. Don’t try this at home without a trained professional on hand. I bought one of those trimmers, before I had a chance to use it my wife took it thinking it was a small vibrator. She was screaming I tell you, she shot at me twice as they were wheeling her out to the Ambulance. Save you marriage and yank’em.
