Mechanical nose/ear trimmer

[Fritz]

I was thinking mechanical after the Pana got painfully loud and is junk built.
Though I found the same thing with a different "maker".

Hows the noise level of either on the "powered" ones?

Asking about my Norelco? Quieter than my old Wahls and Conairs, but not by much.

My Norelco's exchangeable head seems to be at least as good as any standalone I've ever tried. It's cutting, not pulling -- no pain. The tip is similar to that on Drew's manual trimmer.
I have two Norelco beard trimmers (both from Costco, about a decade apart) that have nose/ear hair trimmers, and neither works as well as a good standalone model. The older one's battery is just about kaput... full charge barely lasts a complete beard trimming. Any pulling or other injury DQ's a trimmer automatically. An ideal nose/ear hair trimmer cuts close enough to not leave mangy stubble. In today's world, the search is for which trimmer painlessly leaves the shortest stubble. I also have a Wahl Li-Ion that is louder and seems more powerful than the others, and it trims the beard closer w/ the naked blade, but I like the Norelco's better for shaping w/ their attachments. The Wahl's big, naked blade trims ear hair better than its ear/nose attachment.
