Why You Need to Trim Your Nose Hair
When you were younger, you got your first chest hair and celebrated. Well, maybe the hair that really excited you was on a different part of your body. Regardless, the younger you really misjudged how much fun certain aspects of adulthood would be. The truth is that managing body hair is a modern necessity, and it’s not exactly the best part of the day. Worse yet, the list of hairs you need to handle continues to grow. Well, if you haven’t yet, today is the day you add nose hair to your list. Here’s why.
Consider Your Love Life
It’s pretty simple when you think about it. Are you attracted to anyone’s nostril hairs? Have you ever been? If no, then why should anyone be attracted to yours? That’s just weird.
We’ve done our own surveys on this topic, and they all come to the same inevitable conclusion. 79% of partners agree long ear or nose hair is unattractive. If you have a bush of wiry snot hairs sticking out of your nose, it’s going to impact your love life. Trimming your nose hairs eliminates this issue pretty easily.
But, it actually runs much deeper than aesthetics. Nose hairs impact your life in a number of ways. We’re going to go through the most important of them in a moment. While we take this journey, think about how each issue is likely to impact your love life. Whether it hits your self-confidence or makes you look attractive, you’ll be able to understand how nose hair is hurting your love life on multiple fronts.
As for those of you who are in a happy, loving relationship where nose hair will never be a deal-breaker, congratulations. That’s great and all, but you still need to know the rest of this.
It’s About Comfort
In a lot of ways, body hair impacts comfort. We discuss this all the time when we bring up manscaping. One of the leading reasons to trim your pubes is to reduce the itch and tug you experience every day. It really is a game-changer.
Nose hair has a similar impact on your face. That stuff is wiry and obnoxious. It also only grows longer as you age. At some point, you’ll find it poking the insides of your nostrils. It will irritate your nose and cause discomfort.
It can also make you feel like you have something in your nose that shouldn’t be there. You’ll find yourself wiping and scratching at your nose all day. Remember what we said about how these other issues impact your love life? How smooth do you think your game is when you’re constantly rubbing or brushing your nose? They’ll either think that you’re gross or that you have an obvious addiction to some unmentionable substances. Those are both losing prospects.
So, when you trim your nose hair, you increase your general comfort. You don’t have to fight with your nose, and you feel better throughout the day. It’s a positive reinforcement loop that leads to a genuine increase in your quality of life.
Cleanliness Matter Too
Some of you know this, but we’ll make sure everyone is on the same page. Your nose hairs exist for a reason. They help filter the air you breathe to keep large particles from getting into your sinuses. That’s important, and it’s part of the reason we’re talking about trimming your hairs instead of permanently removing them (more on that in a bit).
Unfortunately, long nose hairs aren’t necessarily perfect at this job. They might keep things out of your sinuses, but they can trap stuff in your nostrils. That’s still a problem. You don’t want a hairy bush of nose fluff covered in dirt and boogers. Just reading that made you scrunch your face in disgust. Imagine how other people react when that’s what they see in your nose.
Trimming the long hairs removes the debris issue without completely eliminating your nose hairs and their biological benefits. It’s a best of both worlds kind of scenario.
There’s another issue of cleanliness. Those things that get stuck in your nostrils can affect you too. In fact, they tend to trap smells in your nose. You’ll either be smelling that stink incessantly (You’ve smelled your own boogers before. Don’t lie.), or you’ll go nose blind to it. Neither is a good scenario.
Ingrown Nose Hairs Exist
Full disclosure: ingrown nose hairs are not super common. That said, they do exist, and they are exactly as awful as you’re imagining. Trimming is the tidy, preventative solution to that problem.
Trimming Is Better Than Other Grooming Options
The ultimate reason to trim your nose hairs is because the other options aren’t good. Technically, you can remove nose hair with any tools or techniques you use on any other part of your body. We don’t want to be liable for a handful of you taking this as a challenge, so we’re only going to discuss the most common types of nose hair removal and why they suck.
Plucking
Nose hairs are an OG case for plucking. You get some tweezers and take care of the long hairs as you see them. It doesn’t take that long. Tweezers are cheap. Plucked hairs take a long time to regrow. Why wouldn’t you do it this way?
Well, the inside of your nose is pretty sensitive. Would you pluck hair from your upper thigh? No? Your nostrils are more sensitive. They’re part of the whole smelling mechanism of your body, and that requires high sensitivity. When you pluck, you damage the skin in there. It doesn’t rebound as quickly and easily as more exposed skin. Because of that, you get inflammation in your nostrils. That can lead to minor swelling in the nose which can impact your ability to breathe and smell. It is also the opposite of a sexy look.
Plucking also increases the risk of ingrown hairs. They’re only uncommon because too many people don’t groom their nose hairs. If you start plucking, you’ll become part of a growing statistic in no time.
Waxing
By now, there’s a good chance you’ve seen some viral videos of people waxing their noses. Pandemic lockdowns were weird for everyone. There’s no need to judge.
What those videos might have taught you is that waxing your nose is painful. What they might not have taught you is that it takes the downsides of plucking and multiplies them by hot wax. You still irritate and inflame your nose. You still get blood as a result.
Waxing does have two advantages over plucking that are worth mentioning. Hot wax is usually cleaner than lukewarm tweezers, so the risk of infection is reduced. It isn’t eliminated, but it’s reduced. The other advantage is that waxed hair is less likely to become ingrown than plucked hair. It still can happen, but the wax actually enlarges the follicle and pores before removing the hair which moderately lowers the chance of the new hair being ingrown.
Just Use The Weed Whacker
At this point, you understand the value of grooming your nose. You also have some insight as to why you want to trim. You still have options about how to go about trimming. For the most part, you can use scissors or an electric trimmer. The Weed Whacker is an impressive nose and ear hair trimmer. Here are a few reasons why it should be your top pick.
Safety
The Weed Whacker has proprietary safety technology that protects you from nicks and cuts. You do not have to approach nose trimming with the care and dexterity of a surgeon. In fact, you can be fairly clumsy and you’ll be fine.
The blade head rotates in every direction, and it’s powered by a 7,000 RPM motor. This makes it easy to trim your nose hairs, and it reduces issues that are caused by lesser automated blades. The risks of tugging and tearing hairs are minimized, so you get a safe, pleasant, and fast experience.
Convenience
The Weed Whacker is designed to help you trim your nose. Part of that design is overcoming your lack of motivation. It’s wireless, so you can trim wherever you find the process convenient. If you want to trim in bed, you can. You shouldn’t, but you can.
The trimmer is also water resistant and shock resistant. You can use it in the shower or other places in the bathroom, and you don’t have to worry about babying it. It has a fast charger that is interchangeable with The Lawn Mower 3.0, so even keeping the battery juiced is easy.
Speaking of batteries, this one lasts for 90 minutes of continual use. Considering you only need a few minutes per male grooming session, you won’t have to charge this tool very often.
You Already Groom Your Body
The last reason to use The Weed Whacker is trust. You’re already using MANSCAPED products to take care of the rest of your body. Don’t you want that same quality of tool for your nose? You can work nasal grooming into the rest of your routine pretty easily. Most guys only need to trim about once a month. Even if you’re ahead of the curve, trimming every week or so won’t be demanding when you take advantage of our full line of tools.
Now that you’re converted, you’re ready to live a better life. You can get the best nose hair trimmer and add it to your regular routine. You’ll look and feel better, and you deserve to have the best tool for the job.

Harvey Specter Style
There’s a lot to envy about Harvey Specter.
The outrageous confidence, the power, the prestige…
The sharp comebacks… and the ultra-sharp suits.
Harvey dresses like he does everything else – strategically.
“People respond to how we’re dressed…
So like it or not, this is what you have to do.”
Everyone’s appearance sends a message – and everything about his says loud and clear:
“I’m not about caring, I’m about winning.”
Of course, he does care – he cares about Mike, he cares about Donna, and he cares about his personal code of ethics. But that’s not the message he chooses to send. There’s nothing soft about his look.
”If they think you care, they’ll walk all over you.”
Read on to find out how to get the sharp and powerful Harvey Specter look.
Okay, let’s break this down. What are the main elements of Harvey Specter’s style strategy? Number 1, of course, has to be…
1. The Suit
Harvey is virtually ALWAYS seen in an expensive suit. Gabriel Macht, who plays him, says: ‘He’s a man of style… we really wanted him to be this man’s man. A real masculine, strong, Steve McQueen-type of guy who could pull off a three piece suit and make it a modern thing, wide lapels and all.’
How does Harvey pull off his suits? Using two things you can learn right here at RMRS – confidence and the style pyramid of fit, fabric, and function. The fit of his suits is always on point, which takes extra effort for men with a tall body type (Gabriel Macht is 6’0.5?/183cm.) The fabrics are top quality – early season suits were mostly dark high twisted worsted wool, but recently he’s wearing silk-wool blends that add an unusual shine.
And as for function (appropriateness for the situation)? As a workaholic hotshot lawyer, Harvey lives for high-powered formal situations where a suit is required. He doesn’t suit up when it’s outright inappropriate… which means we see him in something else a good 2% of the time.
Harvey has a medium contrast complexion and dresses well for it, most often pairing gray, charcoal, and occasionally navy or black suits with white shirts. Gray and white form a sleek, classic combination that shows he means serious business.
Where a man with just one or two suits might stick to solid colors and maybe a pinstripe, Harvey has a wardrobe of different suit patterns including sharkskin, Prince of Wales checks and stripes – he prefers the bolder rope stripes to pinstripes (pinstripes are just one thread wide, rope stripes are several.)
He wears a slim fit with high armholes and strong structured shoulders – highlighting his athletic physique. Wide peak lapels give him a powerful broad-shouldered ‘v’ shape – the key to wearing them like he does is to get the gorge of the lapel not too high and not too low. If it peaks out over your shoulders, it is too much, and if it is too low it looks too old school.
Peak lapels are more formal – he sets himself apart by wearing them (except sometimes when he’s in a three-piece suit, which is more formal anyway). Because they’re more common on a tuxedo, on a business suit they suggest authority and/or arrogance.
Taking a deeper dive into suit jacket details, the big flap pockets on his jackets are a little unusual with peak lapels; jetted pockets are more normal.
You might expect to see a three-button suit on him because he’s a ‘buttoned up’ character and it would suit his tall athletic build. However, Harvey knows TWO buttons are the best choice for a single-breasted suit with peak lapels. It’s a classic elegant look that’s been around since the 1920s – two buttons leave room for longer lapels and accentuate them more.
His jacket cuffs, on the other hand, are as formal and buttoned-up as they get, with four buttons on each. The more buttons on the cuffs, the more formal the jacket, with single buttons denoting a sports jacket.
Pants are slim but not tight, with an ironed crease down the front, no pleats, no break and usually no cuffs. This suits his strict character – very neat and no fuss.
2. The Shirts
Harvey mostly wears plain white dress shirts – again, the most formal color. He also favors pale blue, and occasionally a gingham or stripe. The tall semi-spread collars accentuate his ‘v’ shape.
His shirts are very well fitted and always let a sliver of cuff show outside his jacket. He usually prefers simple classic button cuffs, but occasionally goes for the fancier French cuffs and cufflinks.
3. The Accessories
“Get your skinny tie out of my face and get to work.”
Harvey’s ties are always silk – navy grenadine is a favorite. Dark purple and black are other favorite colors. His look is VERY monochrome – it’s part of the character.
His ties vary between 3 and 3.5 inches wide, a classic width. He doesn’t wear anything too young and trendy. His wider ties and lapels contrast with Mike’s skinny ones and make him look more powerful.
He favors the full Windsor tie knot – a powerful, formal, ‘serious business’ knot that marks him out as a guy who knows how to dress and looks great with his wide lapels and semi-spread collars.
He’s rarely seen without a dimple in his ties, showing he knows how to dress and pays attention to the details. The one time his tie dimple is off center, Donna notices something is wrong!
With a tux he wears a diamond-pointed bow tie instead of the normal shape. That’s quirkier than you’d expect from him, but it’s like the peak lapels – sharp and pointed – which suits his aggressive and incisive mind.
He always wears a pocket square in a square Presidential fold, usually white or gray. A white pocket square in a square fold is as formal as they come and suits his businesslike, no-nonsense image. You won’t see him with a flower in his lapel – this is a hard and sharp look, nothing soft or romantic on this determinedly unemotional guy. To finish the look, he chooses simple and bold metal cufflinks.
Earlier in the series, Harvey was seen wearing a bold statement chronograph watch with a leather strap – a status symbol meant to mark him out as a successful man. The watch has since disappeared because of the technical constraints of filming for TV. Gabriel Macht says:
‘As great as the show is, it really doesn’t lend itself to detail. Other than some necklaces you might see Jessica wear, you don’t see any jewelry.’
#4. The Shoes
Because of the nature of TV, you don’t often see Harvey’s shoes, and they’re not a big focus of his costume. He’s been seen in black cap-toed derbies, and black or brown oxford brogues – all classic smart dress shoes, although brown full brogues are a bit more casual than you’d expect from him.
5. Casual Clothing
Aside from the suit, he’s been seen in a classic black button-down shirt; well-fitting jeans; a white or heathered grey henley; beige chinos; and a navy v-neck and coat over a white shirt. (Not a casual shirt, by the way, just a dress shirt like he’d wear to the office – showing his wardrobe, like his life, is mostly work.)
6. The Hair
In 2011 Gabriel Macht said of Harvey’s original slicked-back do, “It’s supposed to be the modern version of the old-style man’s haircut, sort of like Gregory Peck or Cary Grant.”
But as more sides of the character have emerged his hair has evolved- now it’s more vertical, but still strict and structured, featuring a tight side-part (on the left side) with a subtle pompadour in the front.
To get this look, you need the sides cut short (not buzzed) and some length on top.
Run a strong hold gel (or pomade for less shine) through towel dried hair then blow dry on a low heat while combing the front upwards. The longer you blow-dry the front, the more volume you’ll get.
Then apply more gel and use your comb to cut the side-part and sculpt the front hair up and back. Fix with a little hairspray.
If you prefer his earlier slicked-back style, you want a similar cut with squared-off sideburns and a square neckline and shaved part. Again, apply some gel to your hair before blow-drying, then comb it back with pomade and set with hairspray.
I don’t recommend that every man dresses exactly like Harvey Specter. It’s a very stark monochromatic look, and for guys with more fun and warmth in their personalities, it might not suit you. You can emulate his confidence without exactly copying his look.
What I DO recommend is that you copy Harvey Specter in dressing strategically. Think about what YOUR message is, and make sure every stitch on your body and every hair on your head communicates it.
‘Get it through your head – first impressions last.’

ONE Cologne Men Should Buy? Jeremy Fragrance Recommendations
If you’re a stylish man…
Could you own a single
- Dress shirt?
- Pair of shoes?
- Necktie?
I wouldn’t.
Why?
There’s no clothing item that’s good for ALL situations (color, pattern & formality come into play).
However…
It’s different for colognes – or fragrances.
How many colognes does a man really need?
The answer? One.
One cologne can rule them all…just ask Jeremy Fragrance.
Here’s what he has to say about buying the perfect men’s fragrance.
Why Use A Men’s Fragrance?
Style isn’t just about clothing. True style encompasses everything about yourself that you show others: your confidence, your communication skills, and your smell.
Your scent is an invisible component of your personal style. It can influence how people – from strangers in the subway to colleagues at work – perceive you.
That’s where fragrances come in. Fragrance is the generic term for grooming sprays that improve one’s own scent. The majority of fragrances are perfumes.
Certain perfumes have a lighter, more masculine smell and are better suited for men. They’re commonly known as colognes (especially in North America). In the end though…they’re all types of fragrances.
But what’s shocking is the fact that 80% of males don’t regularly use a men’s fragrance. If you’re one of them, chances are your reason might be:
- You’re not familiar with the basics and terminology of fragrances
- You don’t know which product to buy (or where to start)
- You’re afraid of doing it wrong or smelling bad
- Fragrances are “unmanly” or only for women
Those reasons share a common ground – ignorance. So there’s only one solution to this kind of problem, and that’s getting information. You want good solid info on fragrances as well as how to choose the right fragrance for you. Great knowledge means great power.
Now I know this will take time. You can read up, watch a few videos, learn the opinions of experts. But you won’t immediately feel like making your own choice. You may not want to pay lots of money for a risky product…or products.
Maybe you’d rather play it safe and find a “universal” men’s fragrance. Why not? We all have busy lives. We spend enough energy deciding which suit, tie or dress shoes to wear every morning. Is it okay to stick with just one fragrance?
Actually – yes! Take the advice of my friend Jeremy who runs the Jeremy Fragrance YouTube channel. Jeremy is a scent connoisseur with the ultimate passion for fragrances. He’s the first guy who’d tell you that men can use fragrance to come off stronger and more confident wherever they go, whoever they’re with.
Below are Jeremy’s nominations for the one fragrance you’ll need…
Jeremy Fragrance: Category #1 – All-Around Fragrance
Remember what fragrances are at their core…a group of chemicals.
You spray them at a distance of 3-6 inches from the skin. You let the fragrance strike the warm parts of your body (neck, shoulders, chest, forearms, inner elbows, etc.) so as to mix with your body chemistry.
But if a product isn’t versatile enough – you can’t count on it alone. It needs to survive in both extreme heat and cold…or else the aromatic chemicals may evaporate or lose their strength over time.
So when it comes to an all-around fragrance, you need a jack of all trades. It can pass as a date fragrance or fragrance for formal occasions. But it’s not top-notch in any particular area. That being said…it probably won’t matter as long as you smell awesome!
Jeremy Fragrance’s Recommendation: Sauvage Cologne for Men (Christian Dior)
This cologne has distinct notes of Calabrian bergamot and pepper. The scent isn’t too imposing and gives off the vibe of breezy, open fields. Johnny Depp has appeared in ads for this fragrance.
Christian Dior Sauvage Eau De Toilette Spray 2 Fl Oz/ 60 ml
$93.33 ($46.20 / Fl Oz)
Jeremy Fragrance: Category #2 – Best Fragrance For Work
Most of us are pretty career-driven. We go to work each day with big goals and aspirations at the back of our minds. I’ll be CEO someday. I’ll be making six figures. I’ll be successful in this field.
That’s a good mindset. But doing the same menial tasks, not being challenged, earning points from the higher-ups…it can feel un-stimulating for now. It can cause you to lose focus. Or lose sight of the prize.
So what can you do to stay alert and excited while spending hours at the office? You’d be surprised. Certain fragrances can actually heighten your alertness during tasks that require a lot of concentration.
Those scents can also reduce levels of fatigue or anxiety. They let time pass more quickly for you as you’re no longer thinking about the time. You just do what’s required of you productively…thanks to an external stimulus.
Jeremy Fragrance’s Recommendation: Prada L’Homme for Men (Prada)
This is the fragrance to wear to the office during daytime hours. It’s a combination of iris and amber (classic Prada ingredients) which is similar to the smell of fresh fabric softeners. You can say it’s more “professional” since it’s not citrusy-sharp but an airy, powdery, and elegant scent.
Jeremy Fragrance: Category #3 – Best Fragrance For Dating
A man sees but a woman smells. That’s right. Studies in Europe prove that a man’s scent is the #1 factor for the ladies in a potential partner.
It does make sense. Women are known to have more complex senses of smell (whereas men tend to only categorize smells as either “good” or “bad”).
That can explain why women enjoy getting flowers for gifts. Or why they might have a variety of perfumes in their homes. In fact, a scent can do wonders for a woman’s mood when you interact with her.
One experiment reveals that women would more likely give their number to a guy they met in a pleasant-smelling area – compared to a not-so-pleasant area. So imagine how much more impact a man’s body smell has! You’ll want to take advantage.
Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Extreme Men EDP 3.04 Oz
$86.88 ($28.58 / Fl Oz)
Jeremy Fragrance’s Recommendations:
Versace Eros Cologne for Men (Versace)
This cologne is tailor-made for seduction and grabbing attention. It invigorates the ladies’ senses with a fusion of mint oil, Italian lemon, green apple, and geranium flowers. Put it on to give yourself maximum confidence when you approach women at bars or public places.
Spicebomb Extreme Cologne for Men (Viktor & Rolf)
You can call it a “big fat mass of sweetness” because that’s what it is – consisting of vanilla, lavender, tobacco, and caraway. It’s not as aggressive as the Versace Eros, but it draws women to you in more intimate settings. Picture yourself cuddling your partner by the fireplace inside a snow-covered wooden house. The Spicebomb will add to that romance.
