I need to go buy a GOOD nose hair cutter. My wife gives me holy s*it because my nose hair grows faster than any other hair on my body. I have a cheeeeeep Conair right now, and it doesn't work very well, and is always falling into parts. I expect to spend about $25. Maybe even put it on my Christmas list for someone in the family who draws my name. What is a good unit?

And I need a REALLY GOOD ear hair cutter
Not a *great* unit, but cheap and serviceable:
It disassembles easily for cleaning in your ultrasound tank.
Nair. Seriously.
At the end of my shave, I dab a little around the outside of the helixes, the lobes and the entrance of the ear canals.
Washes off in the shower and the results are flawless.

I use a Bic lighter.
I use a Groom Mate, which is completely mechanical, and cuts far better than the electric units I have used, probably because the Groom Mate blades are actually sharp.
I actually bought it through Amazon, where you will find my review (buried under 430 other reviews).

I use a small pair of scissor, three and a half total length and the cutting section is curved, about one inch long. I tried at least two of the barrel type and they both pulled the hair as it cuts.
Well, the HF units are right out of that argument, so don't pay any attention to the $3.99 sale I did last week.
I prefer the rotary type, but they need to be sharp or your li'l tenders get pulled out by the root. DAMHIKT
I think the Brauns are too expensive for your gift exchange, but I've heard they're well made.
Since I've been given and bought only the cheapies, I can't give you any advice on how the more expensive ones fare. Maybe these'll help:

I hope the points are blunt.
I find it best to use the GroomMate on dry hair, but never had a problem with pulling. I suppose that hair diameter would matter, though.

Heavy duty wire cutters?

************We have a WINNER!
And doesn't that bring tears to your eyes?
NO WAY! The Bic lighter wins hands down!
It does, and I am not macho enough to bear it.
Your's was better Tom. Reminds me of going to the dentist and the uneasy feeling of seeing smoke come out of my mouth as he's drilling away.
Unibit. One size fits all noses AND ears!
The smell was the worst when he hit the infection.
See no evil, hear no evil, smell no evil.
It was beyond evil. The oral surgeon was gagging. Lucky for me, the water jet they used for irrigation was blowing most of it away from me.
