Ear Hair-what do you do with it?

[walter o]

ear hair

You could modify one of those electronic fly swatters sold at Harbor Freight .Make some modifications to them and zap out the hairs like they zap the flies . You will get a smell of burning hair but you can get use to that . Sometimes you miss the hairs and zap the inside of your nose , that kinda smarts.

Wasn't it Gallagher who said we don't lose our hair, it moves lower on our body the older we get. I f we live long enough, we'll be left with a tuft just above the buttcrack. Joe

I saved mine up and made a nice vest with it.

Or, you could grow it out and look like this guy:

Wasn't he on Star Trek the Next Generation or something?

Anyway, it's sort of a New Wave/New Age thing....I'll bet it drives the wimmins wild

Those butane gas grill starter thingies (small flame thrower Joni!) work great. You only have to use them once. Hair doesn't grow on scorched skin!

Now the guy I admire, a real man's man, is our Gatorfarmer who uses a leatherman tool on his nose hair! Whoa! I think the CIA shoulda come up with the leatherman/nose hair enhanced interrogation technique, forget waterboarding.

Yeah, my wife hates it when I do that. She says the ripping noise makes her cringe. I find tweezing just draws the pain out, so I just try to grab as much as possible and yank. Usually two or three tuft pullings suffice per nostril. The pain does tend to make the eyes water, but eh... It's less annoying then those battery operated things.

I just sterilize the Leatherman with a lighter before and after.

Ear hair I haven't been plagued with as of yet. I imagine yanking it out with a Leatherman would be more problematic than nose hair.

I thought I was the only one that did that. As far as the sound, my wife is deaf so no big deal there.

The leatherman works on ear hair too. The fire trick sounds interesting, but I've been to the ER to many times in recent years for stupidity, so I'll pass for now.

Gotta' tell ya' 41!
Those two are only slightly worse than my Wife has to endure?
I'm now considering changing to a Ryobi.
I guess I'll have to wait and see what Santa brings?

The very pretty young lady who gives me my haircut takes care of that for me. Along with my mustache, and eyebrows. My wife has been known to pin me down on the couch with a pair of tweezers in her hand, to pluck the hairs growing out of the tip of my nose. Not inside but up on top. They really bother her, so of course, I let them get out of hand.

 

[Texas Star]

I use tweezers and a hand mirror, unless I can get my daughter to pluck the hairs out with the tweezers on my Swiss Army knife when she visits me and we eat out somewhere. (No, she doesn't tweeze me in the restaurant; out at the car.)

My barber trims my ears, but I see her only every two or so weeks, so I have to do some tweezing on my own, unless the daughter is with me. When she does it, I feel like a happy baboon or chimp being groomed by someone in my troop.

Nasal hair, I trim with the scissors on a Victorinox Classic knife. I use a flashlight to help me see them up the nose.

I knew a former Green Beret who had his nose blown off and they built a new one out of plastic and skin from his butt. He had the weirdest looking hair growing on his nose. He claimed that everytime he saw a piece of toilet paper his nose would start running.

... Since I had my nose cut off due to cancer and a new one built with a scalplock, I have to shave my nose! ...

 

[Crazy K38]

Been meaning to get my wife in there with a set of tweezers but in the interim have been making do with pinching it and yanking it out upon occasion. This is not entirely satisfactory (but works in a pinch).

1002 uses for a Leatherman, lol, but seriously that really does sting pretty good, and I have half inch holes in each ear, I know stinging

 

[Lead Chucker]

Braid it.

 

[feralmerril]

Paladin, thank God, they can do wonders now. I dont know why, but they didnt use any plastic on mine. They used cartridge from my ribs and ears for a framework. This is a picture when I was about done recouperateing. However, shortly after the picture I got my feet tangled up, fell on my face on the concrete and broke my nose again! Its a little flatter now but ok.

Stocking Cap

If your wife can knit they make great stocking caps.

 

[wbraswell]

You know, when I first saw this thread started, I knew it was going to be real good. I was right. Men over 40 should all carry the little swiss army knife that cost about $10 in their pocket. Those little scissors on it can really keep you looking partially civilized when you have those sudden nose hair growths. For the ear hair, maybe a kitchen match, just blown out. Ugh, gives me shivers just thinking about it.

 

[reerc]

Those clipper companies and all their talk of "fatal infection" are just trying to sell more clippers.

Rip it out!




BTW, the advert right in the body of the first post on the page is a new one ... hmmm... Sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't. Whatever, like I said, as long as it helps Lee defray the cost of our little addiction here ...

Braid some and thread it on your cleaning rod and use as a lead remover!
