Platinum XL Nose Ear Hair Trimmer with Leather Pouch Brush - Engineered to Last a Lifetime - Made

Very good product, takes just a bit of time to get used too, you don't "move it around" as you you use it, you place it in one place, then turn the knob, and it cuts the hair well. I love that it is made in America, and no battery to replace. Read more

Overall, I love this product. I've owned at least two other electric trimmers (Panasonic and Wahl) and have been pleased with them for the most part. The main drawback is that they are not very travel friendly due to their size and battery needs. The Groom Mate is MUCH smaller and doesn't require batteries. It is made like a tank. I don't foresee ever having a problem with it, unless the blades dull over time. It does take a little getting used to (as other reviewers have mentioned). First, it makes no noise, so you can't tell if you're actually cutting anything. Insert and turn the handle is simple enough, but you really have no idea what you've trimmed until you take it out and look in the mirror. Next, I guarantee at some point, you'll experience the dreaded "caught but not cut" hair incident and it will bring tears to your eyes. I suppose the best way to avoid this is to make sure you turn the handle briskly and make sure you complete the turn before removing the trimmer from your nose. I'm not sure what makes the engine backfire (so to speak), but it hurts like hell when it happens. Considered yourself warned. I will continue to use it, because it does work well, it does allow you to reach areas that the electric trimmers don't, and I'm still getting the hang of it. It's defiantly worth the money.

Great item that meets, if not exceeds, my expectations. Easy to use, and it works. The stainless steel is a huge plus. Prior to receiving this I would have to oil my battery/electric side-burn trimmer occasional for the job, as the blades tend to built up rust and freeze when turned on. This use to be a Sunday evening chore for me, but now I just check daily, and if need be I do a quick job in about 20-30 seconds. I like the fact that you can dis-assemble the entire unit for a thorough cleaning if you wish. Although not necessary, I like the leather case. The unit is tiny, but once again it works. It takes up essentially no room when packing for a trip. I've only used this for a couple of weeks, but if it keeps up the current performance, it gets an A+ in my book. Read more

It's very unusual. I'm not certain if I'm using it correctly. I think it's working okay, I just have to get used to using it. Read more

I initially hated this trimmer. The heavy viscosity grease that’s loaded between the turning parts made it difficult to turn. After having this for more than 2 years, I decided to disassemble it and removed the old grease and re-lubricate it with a lower viscosity lubricant — now it’s perfect. My next action is to attach it to a small drill so I don’t need to crank it by hand. This will provide the quality and durability of this life-time trimmer, with the convenience of a powered trimmer because it’s a hassle to do it by hand. And yes, you will grab hairs if you don’t cut all the way through, pinch a hair and move the trimmer. I always pull at least one hair. They should make one with a 1/4” hex driver attachment! :-) Read more

Well made, works great. But, I understand why some people complain it snags hair. It's easy, but you have to develop a slightly different technique to avoid the hair pulls. With a battery powered clipper, you just turn it on and move it around. That is nice. With this beautiful little machine, however, - first, position it, - then turn, turn, turn, - then stop turning, - then move it to a new position. Repeat until your nose is nice and clean. So, no batteries, take it anywhere, it will last forever. Read more

Should have listened to the other reviews. This product is garbage. It usually doesn't catch hair at all. I am talking 0.5 cm hair wouldn't be caught by this thing. When it does catch hair, it doesn't cut and just pulls it which hurts like hell. You constantly have to spin it to amke it work, which makes it hard to get deep inside, so all your inside hairs stay intact and only the ones in the rims get cut. Don't buy. Read more
