    take a trip on Newbury Street in town, there are loads of salons for
    men that can help.  (what are peels?)

A trip from Brazil to Newbury Street could get expensive.

    Sorry, everybody, let's start all over again, as I wrote a wrong 
    word at the start of this discussion.
    
    This topic is open to ask for and share tips on grooming.
    
    My particular interest is about how to get rid of the hair that
    started growing at the inside of my ear once I passed the 30's mark.
    But I'm looking after a definitive solution so that I don't need to
    cut them off every week.

    I use a battery-powered trimmer designed for the nose and ear.

    My barber gets the ear ones, but I think it takes an extra-special
    relationship with your barber to have him/her go for the nose ones.
    (Ouch!)

What vanity.

I usually just trim the excess ear hair with my razor.
You know you are getting old when you have to shave your ear lobes.

The nose hairs I just pull out when they get long.

PS I keep thinking of City Slickers II where our hero is trimming his nose/ear
hair with the office scissors.

    
    I find that one of those little propane torches that are used for
    soldering pipes works really good.  Only takes one application in
    a lifetime.  ;^).

    Vincent Van Gogh had the same problem with excess ear hair, but
    found a permanent solution ...

    Shakespear (in Hamlet) alluded to pouring Hemlock into the ear as a
    sure cure for ear hair.

    Actually the macho types (the ones that don't just let it grow and
    braid it) use a Huskvarna weed-eater.

    Duct Tape (see note 185).  Tear off a strip about 2 inches long.  Roll
    backwards in a tight roll such that the sticky part is on the outside.
    Insert into said orifice to be de-haired.  Let set overnight.  Next
    morning remove with quick jerking motion.

    VERY QUICK! Ouchx2.
    
    Also gets at those nasty, unsightly back hairs that are proliferating.

    Verrry funny, you all.
    
    Fred, please write your jokes in international english, so I can enjoy
    them, too. I have not the slightest idea of what Hemlock or Huskvarna
    weed-eater means.
    
    Nobody ever heard about a electrical gadget that kills the hair root?
    I've read something about it when it was not important for me...
    
    For those that thinks I have to much vanity, try to imagine how your
    wifes/girlfriends would look if they let their mustaches grow...
    I know I would never feel my girlfriend tongue's again on my ear if
    I did not care...

My dictionary says: "2a.  a poisonous plant with compound leaves and small
whitish flowers  2b.  a poison obtained from this plant."

Hamlet's uncle poured it into the ear of Hamlet's dad when he was sleeping.

Husqvarna (sp?) makes yard and garden tools.  I thought they were Swedish.  A
weed-eater is a long handled powered contraption which whips a strand of nylon
around to cut down weeds.

Electrolysis.  Licensed professionals do this in the US.  Check with your local
salon.  Supposed to be moderately permanent and slightly painful.

    Ow! Electrolysis *in* your nose? Not unless I have a cancerous growth.

    Husqvarna makes a lot more than lawn and garden tools. Some of the best
    dang chainsaws around, if you can afford 'em. Motorcycles, too.

They also make sewing machines.

    
    do they also make shavers?

    On vacation last week I had a revelation about the nose-hair situation
    (whilest reading a Dave Barry book). Why not utilize the ever-useful
    duct tape? 
    
    I figured if you roll up a piece small enough to fit inside your nose
    and then R-I-I-P! Off comes that unsightly hair. AND, any useless skin
    that may have been hanging around gumming up your breathing. 
    
    Wow, yet *another* use for the ole standby - DUCT TAPE.

    Sticking fingers in empty light bulb sockets will remove body hair.
