After several v cheap battery ones I'm on the lookout for a rechargeable one for getting rid of the ear fluff that seems to be taking hold now I'm well into my forties.

What better place to ask than stw...;-)

Any recommendations that aren't ridiculously expensive.

Put rechargeable batteries in your current one?

Current one is a bit shonky. Plus I'd need a charger and batteries.
Would much rather plug it into one if the many USB cables I have around the house. 🙂
Plenty on eBay for <£10, but before pressing buy, and playing the is it going to be good or rubbish roulette, was hoping that the hairy stw demographic would have some experience.

I'll have a look on Amazon too. They have reviews etc.

Get a waxing melter and wax them, unless you’re scared then a hair trimmer will do. Note trimmer not clipper.

Or perhaps a little kitchen blowtorch!

never going to run out of charge... and actually work really well (I've been 40 a while...), which considering the price, I should bloody hope so!

just go for something like this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Groom-Mate-Platinum-Nose-Trimmer/dp/B000EBFJXS
(mine was about a tenner, so you might have to explore)

Never going to run out of batteries, quiet, doesn't rust.

What's not to like

My ear hair is more like bristles. Thick and deep rooted. Theres no way Im plucking/waxing. I think my ear would come off!

It's a matter of managing the 'problem' SO, like an unruly garden, once it's been beaten back you just need to keep ontop of it with regular weeding. Though I did hear a podcast suggesting pulling hair make it more likely to come back quicker than trimming it back
