How do you choose a multi-purpose trimmer?
Choose a multi-purpose trimmer
There are many different types of multi-purpose trimmers. Before you purchase a multi-purpose trimmer, it's important to ask yourself the following questions:
- Which body parts do you want to trim?
- Which shaving lengths do you need?
- Do you want to trim and shave with the multi-purpose trimmer?
- Do you want to use the multi-purpose trimmer in the shower too?
- Do you want a corded or cordless model?
- Do you want to bring the multi-purpose trimmer with you when you travel?
Which body parts do you want to trim?
Multi-purpose trimmers are suitable for trimming your hair on different body parts. Multi-purpose trimmers often have different attachments for this. For example, you can use a body attachment or comb attachment for your body, and a comb attachment with different shaving lengths for your hair. Do you also want to be able to trim your eyebrows and nose hair? Choose a multi-purpose trimmer with a precision, ear, or nose trimmer.
Which shaving lengths do you need?
The shaving length that you need depends on the desired result. If you want a bald result, you can choose a multi-purpose trimmer with a minimum shaving length of 0.5mm or shorter. If you want almost bald, like a short scruff, a shaving length of 0.6 to 1mm is suitable. You can get a buzz cut with a shaving length between 1 to 3mm. If you prefer to keep your beard or body hair longer, choose a minimum shaving length of 10mm.
Do you want to trim and shave?
Multi-purpose trimmers trim your hair. This means that you shorten your hair and trim it, but don't shave your body, hair, or face completely bald. Even without a comb attachment, you'll still feel scruff, even when you can't see it. Do you prefer a smooth skin without a scruff? Choose a multi-purpose trimmer with shaving attachment or with an included razor blade.
Do you want to use the multi-purpose trimmer in the shower?
For people who have a sensitive skin, it's pleasant to trim and shave in the shower. Your skin and hair become softer, which makes it easier to remove the hair. If you want to use the multi-purpose trimmer in the shower, the device needs to be completely waterproof. A waterproof head or completely washable casing isn't enough for this. But, you can easily clean these devices under the faucet.
Do you want a wired or wireless model?
With a cordless multi-purpose trimmer, you'll have all the freedom of movement while trimming. The disadvantage of this device is that you'll have to charge the battery or batteries every once in a while. You won't have this problem with multi-purpose trimmers that work on the power grid. The disadvantage of these devices is that you're limited to a socket. Some multi-purpose trimmers work both cordlessly and with a cord. This will give you full freedom of movement, but you won't have a problem in case you forgot to charge it.
Do you often bring the multi-purpose trimmer when you travel?
With a storage pouch, you can keep the multi-purpose trimmer and accessories like comb attachments neatly together. The sturdier the storage option, the better you can protect the multi-purpose trimmer. If you often bring the multi-purpose trimmer with you in your suitcase, we recommend a hard case. If you just want to keep all the accessories neatly together in your bathroom, a soft pouch is enough. You can also use the stand for this, which allows you to give the multi-purpose trimmer a permanent place on the sink.
