006: Philips Nose Hair Trimmer


What is it? A Philips-brand nose hair trimmer.

Pros: Looks like a quadriplegic robot emperor penguin. Able to precisely remove hairs in the nasal cavity without causing more fuss than a tingling sensation. Can trim other body hairs with little fuss. Orange casing alerts user of any possible danger. Made by a trustworthy Dutch brand. Back has patterned rubber skin to ensure grip is maintained through trimming process. Only takes one AA battery. Waterproof. Plastic cap stops children from killing themselves with it. Cap also resembles transparent Smurf hat. Easily fits in toothbrush-holding home utility or travel bag. Shows that nasal hairs are important enough to demand specialised gadget.

Cons: Nasal hairs should not need a specialised gadget at any price. Does not cut hairs, instead shredding them. Owner will never be able to tell you how they got it because they will not have bought it. Looks too much like sexual aid and vibrates enough to sustain said notion. Encourages sneezing. User will always be frightened that nose is no place for sharp and fast-moving blades.

Worthiness of pointing motion: 7/10. Looks too much like an endangered flightless bird to dislike or ignore.
