[Closed] Signs of getting old......

I still can't grow a moustache in my late 30s, but, in the last year, French woman's armpit hair has started sprouting out of my nose.

Seriously, how hairy are your ears? 🙂

imnotverygood, I also went to the barbers today and had the same experience. He trimmed my eyebrows and then asked if I would like the hair in my ears trimming, I was like WTF. I've never noticed hair in my ears before. I'm 38 🙁

As i've got older, my nose hair has become an increasing problem. I'm mid 30's and every so often look in the mirror to see a spiders leg hanging out of a nostril.

One of my weekly routines is now trimming ear and nose hair. (age 41) 😕

One of my weekly routines is reading the latest "getting old" thread on STW.

At 42, my ears and nose are fine, hair-wise. However my eyebrows...

Nose hair removal tip:
1/ using a lighter fill nostril with butane
2/ Quickly adjust lighter setting to max
3/ Strike the flame and blitz the snotter

Voila nice smooth inner nostril

Should last a good 3-4 weeks

Regrettably at the age of 40 I’m beyond barbers. I have a ‘male grooming kit’. My wife uses the clippers to take the fuzz off my head - imagine a brutal New Zealand sheep shearer setting about a worn and ragged tennis ball. She then uses the mini clippers to do my ears and any rouge eyebrow strands, which are isolated using a small effete comb.

All in all it’s a rather humiliating procedure ... for the both of us.

That's why I like my barbers. A haircut takes 10 minutes and they trim my ear hair.

Nothing worse than an old tache wearer whose nose hair and tache combine - particularly unpleasant on a cold, snot inducing ride.

I am curious what evolutionary benefit Bernard Ingham eyebrows provide for older men, or the purpose of ear hair, unless it is to create some form of bizarre Donald Trump combover.

If you're rougeing your eyebrows, I'd suggest that getting old is the least of your worries 😉

Still, it's always easier if you've got an understanding missus.. 🙂

Can someone remind me of what happened yesterday? 😉
I've got a male grooming kit that I bought in Wilco's, or Superdrug, can't remember, several years ago, for a tenner.
It's got a little battery shaver and a trimmer for nose and ear hair. Brilliant little thing for trimming the foliage that age seems to inflict on us blokes.
I particularly dislike ear hair, it gets in the way when wearing canalphones that fit right inside the ear canal.
I wonder if you can wax your ears... 😉

funkrodent,

Sorry ... rogue! 😀 😳

I've come into this thread and have no idea why. I'll just go back to where I was and see if I can remember what I was doing.

2 weeks ago? Some obviously struggle with 3 days ago.

I think my eyesight is failing.

And I seem to be struggling to use the internet to not double post.

Hairs are the least of your problems.....wait til your knees start to fail!

😥

he spent much more time on my ears than he did on my head

Seriously, how hairy are your ears?

Its not a question of how hairy they are, but how beautifully and meticulously styled they now are.

43 and got a Frozen Shoulder. Ear hair and a random 1 that keeps popping up on the end of my nose?!? It's like a really slow game of wackamole (with tweazers)

I can't pick my baby up without making a groaning sound akin to Sharapova unleashing her most potent backhand volley. Even just the struggle of standing up from a seated position sometimes necessitates a good grunt.
