This is a precision cutting instrument. I got this Groom Mate Platinum to pack when traveling. It's very compact and requires no batteries, saving on weight and space in my toiletries kit, and saving the bother of having to worry if I have fresh batteries.
When I used the Groom Mate for the first time, I thought I was going to be disappointed: I felt nothing, nothing. My battery-powered nose-hair trimmer is pretty nice, but even it tugs and pulls a bit. The Groom Mate . . . nothing. "It's not doing anything," I thought. Imagine my surprise when I finished and looked in the mirror, and my nose was cleanly shaved. It was amazing.
The only downside I can see to the Groom Mate is that it takes both hands to operate it: one to hold it, the other to rotate the base (which rotates the blades). If your nose is a bit irregular, as mine is, you'd sometimes like to have a hand to manipulate it so that you could get "in the corners" as it were. But the Groom Mate is certainly up to keeping you from looking like the troll who lived under the bridge while you're traveling. Yeah, maybe you'll want to supplement it from time to time with the battery-powered model at home, but even that won't be as smooth as the GM.
