Nose Hair Trimmers
We’re men, we grow hair, it’s what we do. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't clean it up now and again. Get yourself a dedicated trimmer to clip away bushy nose hairs (and any miscreant hairs sprouting from your ears). Get close to your bathroom mirror and give your face a once over. See anything out of place? If the hair in your nostrils is noticeable or God-forbid, protruding out into the open, then it's time to break out the trimmer and give your nose a quick buzzcut. The good news is that reliable trimmers are affordable and easy to use—cutting back the extraneous fuzz while allowing enough nose hair to perform its main function: Serving as a filter for dust, dirt and other allergens. This is why we trim and don't wax. Well, that and the unforgiving pain of ripping your nose hairs out by their roots. After some real-world testing, here the trimmers our team recommends, in a range of price points.

Drops to Watch For |
 | 18 East has partnered up with Padmore & Barnes again, but this collaboration marks a notable first: It’s the first time the renowned Irish footwear maker has produced an entirely new silhouette for a partner. Handcrafted in Portugal on a rugged, all-weather Vibram Bifida sole, the new Oakledge Low features an Italian suede upper with a padded Cordura collar and tongue, and antique silver speed lace loops. Available in an “Almond/Sage” colorway and an all-black iteration, the hiker is getting us excited for summer adventures. Available now |

 This remake of a vintage workshirt is cut from a sturdy yet breathable cotton herringbone twill that's been dyed with true indigo and heavily washed for a timeworn look and feel.
|  After seeing these in the store, we're big fans of Levi's ultra-versatile and supremely comfortable trail shorts. They come in five different colorways and are already on sale.
|  Gitman Vintage has a knack for bold patterns and this shirt proves it with its all-over Jamaican inspired print. Made in the USA from super-soft cotton, it's now half off.
