I love his nose!
My Joey is aggressive too, He has mellowed out with time, He's going to be approx 1 year and 4 months now.
I have been trying the hiss thing and it seems to be working.
Most of the time his aggression towards me is when I stop combing him.
And when I pick him up, he doesn't like to be picked up-most times.
the combing is a weird one I will comb him, and when I'm done I can tell he wants to attack me, I have been keeping a wand toy nearby to play right after combing.
It is weird tho, he likes the combing but it also agitates him.
I don't brush him because he will attack the brush!

My Baby Su, who was born feral, is the sweetest, most loving, and most bonded to me. But sometimes she'll bite. Hard. I don't mind, because I love her unconditionally.

All but one of the boys we've had would try to happy bite the brush. I use 2 brushes now. Hold a soft one in front of him for his use and brush with the other. Since they have a chew brush the whole time there is not over stimulation. I can also use the front brush lead them to turn around. Yoshi will even stand up so I can brush his belly when I lift the brush up slowly.
