Cheap
Easy to use

Frequent head replacement
Philips Norelco’s nose hair trimmer offers an expectedly premium grooming experience (to the extent you consider trimming your nose hair an “experience”).

Pros
Great on coarse hair
Cons
Pricier option
Ah, the Panasonic ER-GN70-K. A truly top-of-the-line model with the technical-sounding name to match. Panasonic’s option might be more expensive than any of the others included here, but its trimmer doesn’t skimp on the details. Yes, it includes wet/dry grooming capabilities that make using it anytime, anywhere a cinch (naturally). And yes, its hypoallergenic blades boast an absurdly high number of cuts per minute. But it’s also a super-sturdy absolute unit of an instrument rendered in sleek stainless steel that will, most importantly, trim nose hairs you didn’t even know you had. And, really, isn’t that what it’s all about?

Pros
Sleek design
Interchangeable heads
Cons
Not a ton of power
If you’re partial to Wahl’s products but want to invest in a trimmer that feels a bit more substantial (at a similarly fair price), the brand also makes another solid portable wet/dry option. This one features a sleek, ergonomic body with an easy-to-clean head specifically designed for precision trimming.

Pros
Gentle

Too small for some
If you weren’t already using a Braun product of some sort in your grooming regimen, consider its stellar nose hair trimmer an introduction to what the brand does best: super-powerful devices wrapped in the simple, no-frills packaging of best-in-class ergonomic design. Backed by a storied industry pedigree that informs the look and feel of all its products, Braun is still one to beat, no matter what part of your body you’re looking to tidy up.

Pros
Water-resistant
LED Light
Cons
Some find round edges don’t cut as sharply as they’d like
ToiletTree’s heavy-duty nose hair trimmer doesn’t mess around. The brand’s attachment-free trimmer is durable as all hell and super easy to clean, but what really sets it apart from the pack is the product’s standout LED light, which allows you to get at hard-to-reach hairs with minimal fumbling involved. (Fumbling: never a good idea when you’re in the middle of grooming … anything.)

Pros
Works for nose, ears & eyebrows

Cons
Materials a bit cheap-feeling
Philips Norelco is the name to know when it comes to nose hair trimmers. (Just look at the first entry on this list.) Its products feature powerful, dual-sided steel blades that’ll effortlessly cut hairs protruding from your nostrils without pulling. And if you have extra-sensitive skin, the brand’s Trimmer 5000 offers a variety of protective guards (options, baby!) that’ll do the trick.

Not the best looking
Remington takes care to endow its grooming products with a signature easy-to-use nature, and its nose hair trimmer is no exception. The brand’s trimmer is an ideal entry-level option if you want a product that’ll consistently do what you need it to, sans any deluxe (and often extraneous) bells and whistles. A waterproof exterior and an automatic interior cleaning system make this model one you can’t beat for sheer practicality—all at a bargain price.

Pros
Waterproof
Smooth use
Cons
No charge light indicator
An arch cutter head with open slits means you can capture hairs from any angle without worrying in the least about accidentally nicking the inside of your nostril. And—bonus!—the design also works for the insides of your ears. The blades are detachable for easy cleaning, a built-in light gives you the visibility you need, and you can charge up easily with the included USB cable. You can get a Meridian in black, too, but this calming green (the brand calls it Sage) feels a little fancier, like the sort of thing you’d find at a high-end spa.

Conair’s compact nose trimmer is great for men constantly on the go. The battery-operated product will take up minimal space in your Dopp kit, and the three-bevel blades will slice off hairs with no fuss. It’s also easy to clean (just rinse the head in the sink), which means you don’t have to worry about hair trimmings entering your bag.

Tweezerman Nose Hair Trimmer
Pros
No charging required
Good for travel
Cons
Reviewers noted some hair pulling
If you can get past the slightly punny name, Tweezerman’s trimmer turns out to be a highly effective nonmotorized option for tidying up your nostril hairs. The brand’s manual clipper reduces the risk of any potentially painful accidents through a charmingly straightforward grooming mechanism. Simply squeeze the levers to rotates the blade at a speed you’re in control of throughout the entire process. (FWIW, plucking your nose hairs sans a device especially designed for the task? Still definitely not the play.)
