Should have bought this one first...

My wife bought me a trimmer. You know, one of those cheap ones like $10 and no-name made in China type brands. Well, I suffered with that thing for about a year until it got dropped and then thrown away. No loss, it pulled hair and was entirely made of plastic.

The Panasonic is a different animal. I purchased entirely based on the reviews I read here and on a few other sites. It was not the least expensive by any stretch, but it is exactly as the other reviewers have stated. Well built and works perfectly.

One comment/complaint and it may not be a problem for most. I absolutely despise nose hair and have plucked it for years. Lots of tears and a whole lot of pain. Perhaps this is the reason I had this problem, but I really got in there the first time I fired the unit up and made sure I got out all the hair. I learned the hard way that the Panasonic cuts so closely, it is possible to take off skin. I have done it a couple of times now. HOWEVER, you really need to push against the skin and then move it back and forth like you would a beard shaver for this to happen. Shouldn't be a problem if you are not truly angered at your nose hair like I tend to be:)

But like I said. If you just stick it in your nose and move it around, it cuts the hair perfectly and that is what it is designed to do, so how can you complain.

I should have purchased this thing years ago.
