To keep unsightly nose hair from showing, use round-tipped scissors ("safety scissors," found in the supermarket). Unfortunately, they can cut you. Shine a flashlight into the nostril for better control. You can also try holding your electric razor upside down and using the razor's trimmer inside the nostrils.
Commercial nose hair trimmers also work and are less likely to cut. However, they are actually too thorough, and nose hairs that are growing back in can tickle. It's better to stick with the scissors and just to trim the nose hairs. However, if tickling persists, go back to the nose hair trimmer. Only when you use a flashlight can you see a nose hair that has curled around on itself and has started to tickle the lining of the nostril. If nasal passages are sore, apply a hot washcloth to the bridge of the nose for a few minutes, or use antibiotic ointment inside the opening to the nostrils. Antibiotic ointment really helps reduce the soreness.
