However, considering the high volume of work for men, finding time for a barber is not always easy. This is where having a shaver at home comes in handy, as you can achieve a suitable look for yourself in the shortest possible time

The most important factor when buying a shaver 

The most important factor when buying a shaver is that when purchasing a trimmer or shaveryou will likely be faced with a sea of models of this product in various price ranges. It is important to know that a quality shaver should have three factors: ease of use, durability, and the benefit of a warranty. Alongside these three factors, it can be acknowledged that the shaver blades are the most important part of this device. In fact, it is recommended to look for a model with strong and sharp blades made of stainless steel or titanium.

Of course, depending on the need and method of using the shaver, you may want to look for additional features such as a travel lock (which prevents the shaver from turning on during travel and in the bag!) or models with the ability to be used in different voltages. It should be noted that when purchasing any model of shaver, you usually encounter different contents, but in general, you can expect to see the following materials in most models

• Beard Trimmer
• Types of blades and combs
• Protective case
• Accessories for trimming ears, nose, and eyebrows
• Cleaning brush for the device
• Charger or power cable

 7 key points you need to know before buying a beard trimmer!

In order to review and provide the most important points when purchasing various types of electric razors, experienced CR experts selected a total of 24 individuals aged between 18 and 74 years old and asked them to provide their user experience with the top 5 electric razor models among various products in this field over a period of two to four weeks. Based on this data, it can be stated that the following 7 points are of significant importance when purchasing this personal item.

1.The importance of easy usability and the presence of a multi-language user manual

It is interesting to know that participants in this survey considered having a multilingual instruction manual and the importance of easy usage among the most important factors to consider when choosing a beard trimmer with various features. While some participants were interested in using YouTube tutorials, most people preferred receiving clear and complete instructions from the manufacturer.

2.Choosing a Washable Beard Trimmer

 Fully washable models are of higher value than non-washable models because putting the beard trimmer under water and washing it is the easiest way to clean it. Remember that trimmers that are not washable require time-consuming cleaning. In addition to this, separating and reassembling parts while cleaning is also important and should be done in a way that you don't regret disconnecting and reinstalling the parts (parts should be easily detached and installed!). Also, the blades of some models need to be oiled periodically, so you need to spend a lot of time maintaining and preserving your beard trimmer.

3.Blade Types and Durability of Parts

The quality and sharpness of blades are crucial for achieving a professional level of beard trimming. High-quality, stainless steel blades with a high percentage of carbon ensure longer durability without dulling. Another important factor to consider when choosing and purchasing any beard trimmer model is the durability of the product and its accompanying parts. The trimmer should have sturdy parts that can be easily installed and used without any looseness or wobbling (some parts may be installed too loosely!). In general, devices with numerous small parts increase the likelihood of losing additional accessories, and these small parts are often of lower quality and may break easily.

4.Travel lock feature

 Generally, models with a travel lock feature prevent the shaver from turning on during transportation and in luggage. This feature is one of the most practical features in a shaver, so if you're someone who travels frequently, this feature can put your mind at ease about the safety of your device and other belongings.

5.Battery life and charging capacity

 Long battery life is a key feature for most users, as many people don't want to bother with recharging their shaver, especially in the middle of shaving. Generally, most mid-range models are not ideal in terms of charging time; however, in some more expensive models, they have optimal charging hours. In addition to this, it's better to consider fast-charging options or those with quick charge capabilities, as they have the highest charging capacity in the shortest time.

6.Paying Attention to Combs and Other Features of a Beard Trimmer

With the help of features such as adjustable combs or combs with a wide range of sizes, a variety of different styles can be achieved with a beard trimmer. Generally, different types of combs for beard trimmers are available in various ranges depending on the model of the device, ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 (1.5 to 4.5 millimeters) for variable beard length, in fact, these comb ranges are very useful for maintaining short beard stubble. It should be noted that for trimming longer beards, you may need longer combs with a number of 8 (25 millimeters).

7.Noise Level

Most people prefer hair clippers or trimmers with less noise, but some believe that louder models provide them with more confidence in terms of performance! Therefore, considering the noise factor when buying a trimmer is important.

Is your goal for buying a trimmer to groom your face or body?

If you plan on using your trimmer for grooming other parts of your body, you should look for a product with an ergonomic design for comfortable grip and easy use. It is technically possible to use a trimmer as a hair removal tool for your body, but due to the sensitive nature and importance of skin hygiene, we recommend exercising the utmost care and taking the time to clean the device thoroughly.

Of course, there are devices on the market called "men's body groomers", but in general, men's body hair trimmers are very similar to each other in many ways, so it can be somewhat difficult to determine exactly which device is made for what purpose. In this regard, one of the important factors is the size of the blades. Hair trimmer devices, considering their functionality, are smaller products, and come with delicate and precise accessories (such as adjustable combs or different sizes) for professional beard trimming.

On the other hand, body grooming machines are often waterproof and suitable for use in the shower. They also have slightly larger blades and are equipped with specially designed parts to groom different areas of the body without cutting the skin. Additionally, some models feature handles with adjustable length to make it easier to access different parts of the body.

Last words:

As you may have experienced, whether you prefer a long beard or a clean shave, using a beard trimmer is an essential tool that offers speed and precision. Therefore, it might be time to make an informed choice and purchase a device that is suitable for your budget, practical, and of high quality, based on what you have learned from this buying guide.
