A small battery operated bikini line trimmer works best.

I'd use a bic lighter. No kidding, just pass it over the hair on the earlobes and it's disintegrated. No biggie.

No, does he burn hair off his ears too? Believe it or not, I got this bit of advice from eavesdropping on a conversation between my wife, daugher, and daughter-in-law. Apparently this is a widespread practice among the fair sex. Beats me! I thought I had to have a bathroom full of razors and blades and creams and fun stuff like that. Naaah, just burn it off!!! :shock: :shock:

Didn't know that Chris but will pass it off as my own knowledge and find a way to bring it up to my breakfast group on Friday. Most of the guys are docs and would like to see their facial expressions while they try to figure it out.

Marc, sorry to break the news, but I still have hair and a job so yes, I confess I've been going to barbers for my whole life. It's commonplace, don't you think? Unless, of course, you were kidding. But I think even the young guys get haircuts, at least around these parts.

My wife plucks my ear hair with tweezers (I love it). She also trims my eyebrows with scissors. I take care of my nose hairs with a pair of fingernail clippers that have an angled head.

What is this ear hair you people speak of?...

:lol:

Now that I'm old I could make a wig from mine, so I use an electric trimmer...

another tweezer.

I should lap my tweezers or switch to forceps for a better grip.

I usually use an electric razor to get rid of it (don't trust myself with a DE blade for this), but it grows back superfast, and I hate looking like a wolfman. :twisted:

I'm only 35, so I'm a little surprised I have this already...

I've also tried Nair, but that's not too effective, it stinks, and last time I got a minor chemical burn. :cry:
I'm leaning towards bleaching it, but was wondering if there are other options I'm missing.

Any suggestions?

Shave or cut the hairs on the lobes.

For those inside and on stronger surfaces, PULL !!!!

Of course, Vincent Van Gogh had the ultimate solution...

I use a round tweezer that cuts the hair from Tweezerman. It works very well and since it's round there is no danger in cutting or nicking oneself.

I just can't seem to find it online any more :roll:
