"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. " more
