Remington NE3350 Angled Hygienic Trimmer

This product shouldn't be called the `Remington Groom Professional': instead, it should be the `Remington Nose Hair Eliminator 5000' (the number added just because it SOUNDS good). Shazam! This product does the job nicely, I've no nose hair left! The next closest thing to this wonder product would be taking a lighter to your nostrils, but you don't want to go down that road (it hurts a lot).

Right. Enough gab. Lets talk about the RGP: It fits neatly in the palm of the hand, and it's robustly built. Seriously, this is a well made piece of kit. The last product I had was a Wahl Nasal Trimmer (5560-427) and it was rubbish! It scarcely held together - the attachment kept coming off every time I removed the cap :-( Poor show, Wahl! So, if you are on the market for a nasal trimmer, then DON'T buy a Wahl one. I can't speak for other brands, but the Wahl trimmer just wasn't well made.

Anyway, the Remington contains the following attachments:

1) An eyebrow attachment. This is the one you see attached to the product in the picture, and it is removable.
2) Two comb attachments in two different grades, which are made of flexible plastic.
3) A nose hair attachment, which has a round cutting head in ceramic, which should be handy for people whose nose hair is stronger than chicken coop wire...?

I find the eyebrow attachment on the Remington highly effective for nose hair removal. The other attachments I have not used, so I will not comment on their effectiveness. What I will say however, is that all the attachment heads clip into place quite securely.

There are two minor things I don't like about the Remo however:

Firstly, it's a little too easy to inadvertently open the lower casing (where the Remington logo is on the trimmer) that houses the AA battery. One click of the lower casing to the right switches it on, and one click to the left opens the casing (the positions being - Open/Off/On). Other than that, it is a sturdy product, and I still consider it to be well made.

Secondly, the trimmer doesn't stand on its base. Let's think about that for a moment: your new fangled contraption with aesthetic clean lines won't be able to stand proudly on top of the coffee table as an ornamental attraction for when you have guests round. Not good! Rather more irksome however, is the fact that you can't stand it upright in the bathroom cabinet (i.e. to save space) along with your favourite can of fragranced niceness. So, consider that.

Conclusion? If you can put up with the minor problems I have addressed about this product, then I do highly recommend it. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Go for it!

(Blimey, that's a lot of talk about a nose hair trimmer! Think I need to get out more...)

I actually purchased a Philips Nasal Hair trimmer for my cousin as a joke - his "coming of age" present now that he's found some nose hair. When it arrived I considered buying myself one because I thought it would do a better job at trimming than the normal circular or rotating nose hair trimmers which just don't seem to reach all the parts you want them to reach. The Philips trimmer has a single vertical trimmer type system but when I went looking for it again on Amazon, the price had increased over that of this Remington.

After a quick look at the Remington trimmer I decided to buy and compare it with my cousin's before I gave him the gift. The Remington trimmer has a double vertical trimmer blade which, when compared side by side with the Philips trimmer, made far more sense. The Remington trimmer also comes with a normal rotary trimmer attachment for use in the ear as well as two eyebrow hair "grades" so you can trim your eyebrow hair too. For such a low price I am impressed with the contents!

This is the first time I'd used a vertical trimmer on my nasal hair and it is definitely a far superior solution than the rotary trimmers. It got a lot closer and without any discomfort, even on the small hairs at the edge of the nostril. I haven't used the rotary trimmer but I imagine it would do a decent job on ear hair.

Most men don't mess around with their eyebrow hair but if you do suffer from bushy eyebrows or the odd unruly hair, the attachments for eyebrow hair are great. I plucked (pardon the pun) up the courage to use the longest of the two grades on my eyebrows and I must say, it did a brilliant job of trimming the excess hair without making my eyebrows look any different.

All in all, a fine piece of kit for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Have tried two Philips nose and hair trimmers they were good but did not last long, this Remington seems sturdier has better attachments and allows you to clean it under the tap, this was a possible reason for past failures. This then keeps us middle aged men hair free in the nose, ear and eyebrow department.
