In this day and age, physical appearance has gained a lot of importance in an individual’s life. And of all things, one of the most important components of every adult male’s appearance is a properly groomed beard, an art frequently underestimated both in terms of time spent and skill required to do so.

When it comes to hair growth, there is one question that has always been asked: Are trimmers better than razors? Even though it is hard to conclusively answer this question, there definitely are advantages to using a hair trimmer over a razor. Some of these advantages are discussed below:

Hair trimmers help you make adjustments to your facial hair
Let us all agree that while a nicely kept beard can look rather alluring on a man, it does need to be skilfully snipped to perfection. As is the visible trend nowadays to sport that subtle stubble, your hair trimmers are specifically designed to recreate the desired effect. Before trimmers, men would have to either go to a barbershop to get their beard trimmed neatly, or they would have to spend considerable amounts of time in front of the mirror, as they cautiously made adjustments to their facial hair. However, with trimmers, you just attach clips of different ‘levels’ on them which allows you to trim your beard uniformly. This way, you do not have to rely on your judgment and can be satisfied with the way your beard looks without having to make those weekly trips to the barbershop.

Hair trimmers can be used on multiple parts of your body
One problem that most individuals face is the hassle of having to keep their body hair levels to a minimum. Achieving this goal with a razor is not the easiest thing to do. It usually takes much longer to shave multiple parts of your body. If you use a trimmer though, not only can you easily cover more parts of your body, but you can also trim the unwanted growth in parts such as the ears and the nose. You can even find trimmers with lights on them so you can trim the hair in the above-mentioned spots.

Hair trimmers are portable
Even though razors are cheap and readily available wherever you go, most people like to stick to a routine when it comes to grooming rituals. If needed, a person could easily pack up their whole kit of shaving and trimming equipment, and fit it into their travel luggage, since most hair trimmers are designed specially to fit into compact spaces. That way, you can make sure that you look good wherever you go.

Hair trimmers help you save a lot of time
If you were to use a razor for your shaving purposes, the chances of cutting yourself are much higher, as compared to when you use a trimmer. So, you would have to spend more time to avoid cutting yourself during the process. Most trimmers come with floating heads that adjust according to the shape of your face, or whatever part you need to shave. This decreases the chances of getting cut. Since you are not spending a lot of time avoiding getting cut, you can get your routine trimming done in a considerably shorter amount of time.
