Silkslide Pro from DHDL in the test: Better than a nose hair trimmer?

test

They frizz, scratch, tickle and look funny. We’re talking about men’s hair in places where there shouldn’t be any hair. Or does it? The beasts proliferate on the back, out of the ears and in the nose. It doesn’t look particularly pretty, but there’s a good reason: nose hair protects our olfactory organ from invaders such as bacteria, viruses and dust.

But let’s be honest: men want to be well-groomed, or at least appear to be, when it comes to snagging the attention of their coveted crush. Consequently, there is nothing that a man would not do to please a woman or his ilk without revealing that he wants to please – of course. And so we prefer to put up with a man flu and pluck our little hairs out of our noses, than to give free rein to the sprouting.

Silkslide Pro from DHDL in the test: more pleasant than plucking

Anyone who has ever done this with tweezers knows that it can sometimes be just as bad as the flu. Men stand in front of the mirror like the last idiots, their heads tilted back, their mouths open and squinting up their noses, only to cause themselves horrific misery. After a successful procedure, a tear rolls down the cheek and a sneezing fit later everyone knows: No woman and no man in the world is worth this hell.

But there is also an easier and healthier way, namely with a nose hair trimmer or “nose cutter”. At least that’s what it’s called Alexander Weese his invention, which he presents in “The Lion’s Den”. Compared to the trimmer, the Silkslide as a nasalizer no electricity. According to the founder, the small razor for the nose was developed in cooperation with ENT specialists to ensure the greatest possible safety when shaving.

Also, shaving your hair is better than plucking it out. Plucking can damage the mucous membrane of the nose, leading to inflammation. In addition, the protective effect of the hair is completely lost. That’s why men prefer to trim their nose hairs rather than pluck them, especially during the cold season. And according to the founder, the application is also painless.

Electric trimmer vs Silkslide Pro

To make a comparison, the Silkslide Pro has to face a Braun electric nose hair trimmer. The left nostril of the tester is processed with the electric trimmer. Blow your nose, clip the trimmer head onto the razor, switch it on and straight into the tines. The procedure takes less than a minute and the left nostril is already finely trimmed. All without tugging and tugging.

The right nostril gets the wet nose. To do this, the right nostril and the nasizer must be slightly moistened. Important: There is an arrow on the Silkslide Pro, in the direction of which the nose razor must be turned in order for it to do its job properly. Five turns later, the tester is certain: compared to the electric trimmer, the Pro more uncomfortable to handle, more unpleasant to the nose and not as thorough on top of that. There are several reasons for this.

First, a wet nose feels kind of uncomfortable. Secondly, the blades in the Silkslide Pro meant that the test user operated on the nose with extreme caution to avoid cutting injuries. Thirdly, the Nasur creates the feeling that friends of a wet shave know when the blade becomes dull and pulls on the whiskers rather than cutting them clean, which could be due to the length of the nose hairs. And fourthly, the result is not as thorough as with the electric trimmer. That may be because the tester didn’t build up enough pressure for fear of cuts.

But none of these problems existed with the electric trimmer. And all these reasons speak against the razor and for the classic trimmer. Only the advantage of electricity-free use remains.

Silkslide Pro from DHDL in the test: conclusion

The Silkslide Pro is a product that the tester doesn’t really need. In addition to the experiences mentioned above, this also has the price of 8.99 euros to the reason. Sure he can be used multiple times. But eventually the blade wears out. It cannot be replaced and then a new Silkslide Pro has to be bought. For comparison: Electric nose hair trimmers from brand manufacturers like Philips cost around 15 euros. And they should last at least as long (if not longer) and achieve the same result.

For the investment sum of 250,000 euros offers Alexander Weese 20 percent of his company shares. You can find out tonight at whether a lion or a lioness was won over by the wet razor for the nose 8:15 p.m. on Vox.
