Little nose hairs are driving me crazy. They tickle and I hate them and there’s little ones growing right near the front of my nostril.

Is there a good nose hair trimmer out there? What’s it called and where can it be found? Anyone else have this problem? Don’t tell me to pluck them; I’m a coward.

You can always visit your drug store & ask for something. Scissors are pretty spiffy.

Surgical scissors: the kind with the curved blades and the rounded tips. Absolutely the best tool for the job.

The Sharper Image has an electric rotary razor that is a lot more pleasant to use than scissors, and works great.
