On the quality of this nose-hair trimmer is not to be doubted. Really very well made and it also cuts. But compared to my previous electric Schneider not thorough enough. I consider it important that the hair is actually reduced to a minimum. And hair that are only 1-2 mm long, not caught this Schneider. It is also my opinion tedious that you have to get the right position using both hands to selectively cut hair away. The electric knife simply rotates automatically and much faster, so you can really get caught easily with a few one-handed rotations everything. But to say it again: for less demanding buyer or a travel accessory that ear / nose hair trimmer is certainly worth considering.
