Less than $20 in Big-W will get you a little battery-operated device
that gets rid of those pesky hairs in your ears and up your nose.

I use it every time I trim my beard. Works for me.

nah, a nose beard is quite normal, an ear beard OTOH... ;^)

a bit of wax (or booger) and you can fashion your nose hairs into a
fine handlebar moustache!

I have two of varying designs (as well as a drawer full of hair remover
- but we won't go there). All to no avail. Something "weird" about my
hair dictates that within a day or two of trimming it has a co-efficient
of friction fast approaching zero.

Obviously this down side is to compensate for my film-star good looks
and ready wit.

Nigel, it is obvious that because you come from the Northern Hemisphere, you
do not fully understand the true meanings of the downside
Your film star looks would be more like Gollem
and your ready wit ?
more like Carl Baron

In the bike mags, there is another mob who do professional fits, but
have the speaker inside the piece - a bit like the DIY jobbies below.
But probably with better results.

Useless! I don't wear mine because they don't block any sound (once
refitted to my ear after setting and being pulled out, the seal didn't
remain very good) and are less comfortable than my $30 dick smith
in-ear thingies.

Sorry, couldn't find the original one I was looking for (which had a Pom in
a black Audi).

I knew a bloke who resembled that remark... Seeing him after many months, I
was about to ask him what made him decide to grow a moustache - only to
realise that it wasn't actually a moustache; his nasal hairs had literally
covered his top lip :-/
