Best nose hair trimmers to buy right now
A rotating guarded blade trims without pulling, and a waterproof head can be rinsed clean. Battery or rechargeable hardly matters on a tool you use for a minute a week, so buy on comfort and how easy it is to clean.

Best overall
1. Panasonic ER-GN30
Wet and dry · Nose, ears, brows · Dual-edge · Vortex rinse
The one most people should buy and the best seller here: a fully waterproof trimmer for nose, ears and eyebrows whose dual-edge blade cuts hairs entering from the top as well as the sides. The Vortex system rinses hairs out without taking the head off. The listing does not say what battery it takes, so check before you order spares.

Best for no pulling
2. Philips Nose Trimmer NT3650
Textured handle · Protective guard system · Dual-sided, 16 slots
For someone who has been put off by tugging: the listing says the protective guard system means no pulling, and the dual-sided cutter has 16 cutting slots, double its predecessor. The textured handle grips when wet. It does one job, with no extra heads for eyebrows or beard detail.
-
Best for eyebrows
3. Wahl 3 in 1 Personal Trimmer
3: rotary, detail, eyebrow · Rechargeable · Eyebrow guide comb
For anyone who wants brows done as well as nose and ears: three heads cover rotary nose and ear trimming, detail work and eyebrows, with a guide comb for brows. It is rechargeable and the rotary blade rinses clean. The listing gives no runtime or charge time.
-
Best budget
4. Wahl Micro Finisher 3in1
3: trimmer, detail, rotary · Single lithium battery · About a year (listing)
A pocket three-head kit for very little: a rotary head for nose and ears, a detail head for brows and a small trimmer head for edging stubble. Wahl says one lithium battery gives about a year of use. It runs on a disposable battery rather than recharging, and the listing does not say it is waterproof.
-
Best for travel
5. Braun EN21
Pocket · AAA battery included · Dual, washable
Small enough for a wash bag or coat pocket, with dual blades and Braun's SkinGentle smooth outer blade to cut down pulling. The blades are washable and a AAA battery comes in the box. It is battery-only, and the listing covers ears and nose but not eyebrows.
-
Best USB-C option
6. AREYZIN USB-C Nose Trimmer
3 in 1 · 8,500 RPM · USB-C · IPX7
For someone who would rather charge by USB-C than buy batteries: it has an IPX7 rating, a removable washable head and three heads covering nose, ears, face and brows. The listing quotes an 8,500 RPM motor. It is a little-known brand and the title carries no model number, so spare heads may be hard to find.
-
Best basic washable
7. Braun EN10
Ear and nose · Fully
A plain Braun ear and nose trimmer for someone who wants a known brand and nothing more. The listing confirms it is fully washable and says little else. With so little detail and fewer sales than the EN21, most people should buy the EN21 instead.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Ordered by how well each sells in its Amazon UK category, what the listing confirms it can do, and price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Prices are Amazon UK and eBay UK at the time we last checked; they move daily, so confirm on the retailer's page. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
