Proper grooming of your beard/face are an absolute must if you’re looking to maximise your appearance and it often gets forgotten with all the emphasis put on the hair on the head. I’ve used a beard trimmer for the last 2 years and it’s been a game-changer, speeding up my morning routine a tonne. Thought I'd share a few reasons why an electric trimmer has helped me so much:

​

• Beard trimmers allow you to shape your beard and do fine detail work around the edges of your beard/hairline.
• You can trim your beard to a certain length (a razor blade obviously completely shaves everything).
• It’s much quicker than a razor blade.
• You’ll never cut yourself.
• You don’t need to fuck around with wetting your face, applying shaving cream, washing it off afterwards.
• No more “razor burn” – irritated skin after you shave with a traditional razor blade.
• Cheaper in the long-run – you don’t have to replace razor blades. I’ve had my shaver for 2 years now and it hasn’t dulled at all.
• You can shave dry (you don’t wet your skin/hairs to use it).
• You can also use it to shave your body, your head & your pubes.
• Shave your nose/ear hairs as well.

The main reason I got one is I’m fucking hopeless with razors – I kept cutting my face and my fingers with the damn blade. No matter what type of razor I used, I somehow found a way to cut myself every few months. It became a running joke with my friends. I even did this one night, 30 minutes before I had a date.That was the day I went out and finally bought an electric trimmer.

If you're interested, here’s a step-by-step video of me shaving and grooming my face with my favourite eletric razor that I recommend. I talk you through the entire process including which trimmer attachments I use, etc: My bad for calling you all bitches. I was nervous.
