How anal are you about keeping your nose and ear hair trimmed?

    As a man gets older his ear and nose hair growth increases. I've noticed how my ear hair now can grow an inch in a single day. Or at least it seems that way.

    I'm probably not OCD level about ear and nose hair but I'm pretty damn anal.


    Bonus question: How do you trim your ear and nose hair? Clippers or tweezers?



    So do you look like this or not?

    Nose hair I just grab a handfull and yank out when it becomes an issue. Not really sure on the ear hair. Havent' really paid too much attention to it. I'll get back to you next time I look in the mirror.

    Can't say I've ever clipped my nose or ear hairs. I did buy K a nose hair trimmer. :D (because he's so much taller than me that I basically look up his nose whenever I look at him.)

    I used to sell fur to a guy who just combed his nose hairs into his mustache. It was awesome!

    Just a pinch between thumb and forefinger and yank. If your eyes water..... you've properly trimmed it.

    Of course because you have a mirror right there in front of you to double check.

    Pulling nose hair makes me sneeze for some reason.

    If you haven't checked the ears then you must be one of "those"guys.

    This is great. I am 38 and my nose and ear hair are growing at alarming rates. I am not happy about it, but I cannot stop it. That being said, I am very anal about it. I use a trimmer, my razor, tweezers, scissors and my fingers to remove said hairs from my ears and nose. My B-I-L taught me how to shave part of the inside of my nose last week! Works nice.

    at 44 years old, my ear hair is growing twice as fast as nose hair. Nose hair is growing twice as fast as face hair (wiskers), wiskers are growing 5 times as fast as head hair. Not even going to get started on the back hair. I have nose trimmers that I use on ears and nose. But like to get some of those pesky ear hairs while shaving. Thinking about a full body waxing!
