 Best Things You Can Say About Nose Hair August 11, 2007
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
Nose hair is one of those side effects of aging that no one seems willing to talk about, even though everyone notices it. Co-workers, bosses, clients and friends will tell you their secrets for dealing with almost every other matter, but not this one. Well, I've had it. I have ear and nose hair and I'm not going to take it anymore.
This thing just might be the solution. So far, it seems like it's got a good chance.
I received the Platinum XL at the same time as the Groom Mate Silver Wing Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer, and I must admit my disappointment with the Silver Wing (not very effective; comprised of metal blades and silver-painted plastic handles; looks like it's got a lifespan of a year or two, if I don't drop it in the sink first). But, the Platinum XL more than made up for it.
Once you hold this thing in your hand, you realize it could well be the last time you're ever going to buy a nose-hair trimmer, and, well, that's a shopping experience I can do without. It's metal, not plastic, with an adjustable tension screw and the most basic (yet ingenious) moving parts.
My only concern is how rust resistant it will prove to be, but only time will tell. So far, I'm very pleased. I expect that with proper care to keep it dry, there's no reason it shouldn't last me until I'm too old to see, or care about, the shrubbery sprouting out my ears.

Like many other reviews already say, this product really does work. Just roll the two haves of the shaft back and forth with your fingertips and it cuts hair that is up against the tip. It feels safe to use and doesn't pull when it cuts. It is built to last. I could imagine a trimmer that was easier to operate -- perhaps one I could operate with one hand -- but I haven't found one both easier and better.

Works very well. Just wish it had a screw on, not pop on, lid for the carrying case. I recommend.
1st Nose Trimmer and I Love It July 22, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
I rely on user reviews when I shop on Amazon and always appreciate the feedback that people leave so I wanted to write a quick note on the Groom Mate Platinum XL Nose Trimmer. I had never owned a nose trimmer before so at first I was only looking through the electric ones that ranged in price from $20-40. That seemed reasonable to me but the reviews were hit and miss with the ones I was interested in. I came across this "manual" Groom Mate that reviewers seemed to love and decided to give it a shot. It's been a few weeks and I must say I am very satisfied. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it doesn't pull any hair and is very easy to manage. I only use it for my nose for now, and it only takes me a few seconds. Highly recommended.
The Platinum XL vs. the TrimIt ...And the Platinum XL Wins! July 21, 2007

I was intrigued to try a non-battery operated nose/ear trimmer, and after speaking with the company, I decided to try the Platinum XL (U.S made two-handed model) and the TrimIt (Japanese made one-handed model)both sold by Groom Mate. Let me say that this company is very open to questions and really tried to make me happy with my purchase. I like that, and it is so rare in today's marketplace.
Both of the nose/ear trimmers arrived sealed and brand new. Both were better made than I expected, much better made; the Platinum XL was notably hefty and durable. Another rare find in today's world of cheap throw-away consumables.
I was fully expecting the Japanese made one-handed TrimIt model to wipe the floor with the two-handed XL, but I was wrong. Using two hands to twist and guide the XL made for a faster and closer nose trimming experience. Also, the tactile feel of using two hands made me feel more in control.
When I went to my ears, I feared that having to use two hands to use the XL trimmer would lead to a clumsy experience: That fear was unfounded. The Platinum XL works great on the ears, and I had no fear of nicking either.
The TrimIt works nice, but I often feel that I am just clacking along with no sense of how the job is going. To its credit, it is super comfortable to use on the ears.
It is true that the XL (and the TrimIt) require a little more time than the battery operated ones that I have used (those that actually cut hair), but the extra time spent was negligible. More important, I know I am using a quality machine when I am using either the Platinum XL or the TrimIt.
For the record, I have plenty of experience with battery operated nose/ear trimmers. I have used the Sharper Image battery trimmers and after the 2.0 they literally did not cut worth a darn. The 5.0 twirls the blade so fast that my eyes watered, and that's no joke...and no fun either. Besides, they break far too fast for a product as expensive as they are. The Remington model is decently made but is worthless for cutting nose hair (the side burn attachment is ok but it's not why I bought it!). The two Panasonic models I had recently bought were slower and cut good, but both broke within months of use...I was afraid to buy another! That's what brought me to these non-battery operated nose/ear trimmers.
As I stated earlier, both the XL and the TrimIt are amazingly well made; I fully expect them to last for years of use.
I never expected to be so into a nose/ear trimmer, and 20 years ago I would have laughed at the prospect of even needing one. Now, at 42, it's a weekly reality that I don't need to worry about--will my nose trimmer break, will the new model even cut, etc. Thanks to the Platinum XL, I know I now have a tool that I can rely on to do the job, so I don't have to worry about entering the world with any hints of embarrassment holding me back.
The Platinum XL is easily the best Nose/Ear trimmer I have ever used, and the TrimIt is worth your consideration if it suits your style.
I hope my review has helped you to make a decision on whether to buy a Groom Mate trimmer and the pros and cons of these two top of the line trimmer models.
All the Best, MLC
