A must have men's grooming product. Very easy and safe to use and great at keeping stray nose hairs at bay!

I purchased one of these nose hair trimmers a couple of months ago and it is probably the best $20 I have ever spent. This trimmer is easy to use and gently removes nose hair with no more pulling or tugging like the old battery-operated models I used to own. Also, the rotary cutting blades never come in contact with the skin in your nostril.
I highly recommend it...

Never thought I'd write one of these reviews but here goes. I've bought several less than impressive battery-operated nose hair trimmers. Guess where they were made?! It's a big country with an oppressive government and lots and lots of poor, under fed people who work for slave wages to bring us lots of cheap products. Not to head off on some philisophical rant but I suppose you get exactly what you pay for in life. Then I bought a Platinum XL (by Groom Mate - whoever that is). I've got another name for this little trimmer. The Dream Machine. This thing actually works. It's nice and small and no confusing electrical parts and whirling blades. What I'd call simplicity at it's finest. Actually...quite an amazing little device. (Wish I'd invented it.) Stick it in your nose and rotate the bottom handle at any speed you like. Then, take it out of your nose and you won't believe it. Them little metal cutters are full of guess what! - your nose hair - and lots of it! And I really like the fact that it works without batteries. My only beef is the $20 price tag. But you know, I'll have this thing for a long time so I guess it was worth parting with some cash to finally have a quality trimmer. And with any luck, I'll pass it along to my next of kin.

I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite grooming products on this website. I have owned the Platinum XL nose hair trimmer for about 6 months now and it is a great grooming tool. Very easy to use and I have yet to pull any nose hair like the many other models that I once owned used to do. This is a must have for any guy that is concerned about keeping nose hair under control. The other thing that I really like about it is that it is so compact that I can keep it in my pocket and trim nose hairs "on-the-go".
