Tomorrow is my 30th birthday, so of course I’ve found myself having to research nose hair trimmers. Sigh. I’m not one of those “Oh, I’m so old already” people because I honestly don’t feel old at all, but man, buying a nose hair trimmer feels like some kind of turning point. (Somewhere, my dad is suddenly having a laughing fit.)

Anyway, I don’t want to buy one that sucks, and the Panasonic ER-GN30-K Vortex seems to be a good one that only costs $15. It’s got 4.5 stars on Amazon with nearly 7,500 reviews under its belt, and from everything I’ve read, it gets the job done quickly and silently. Plus, it’s small enough to bring on trips, is supposedly easy to clean, and won’t pull hairs while trimming — something I really don’t want to experience.

[$15 on Amazon.]
