Best Trimmers for Men

Hair trimmer is an essential for most men, more so for those who grow and maintain a stubble (beard). Trimmers can also be used for other purposes like trimming underarm hair, chest, body and even privates.

But since there are so many different companies that manufacture and sell trimmers, it’s difficult to pick one if you are looking for the ‘Best Trimmer’ available in the market and have a budget of less than Rs 2000.

Features to look out for in trimmers for men:

  • Washable / Waterproof blades: It’s always easier to wash the trimmer blade with water after use.
  • Close shave: The 0.5mm blade setting is another important feature, if you want a close shave.
  • Battery life: It can be frustrating if you’re in a hurry, want to quickly trim your beard and the battery dies on you. The longer the battery life, the better it is. Look for trimmers that last more than 30 minutes on a single use. Some trimmers can be used while charging, this is again a big advantage to have. Our No 1 pick (below) has all these features and more.
  • Time it takes to charge: There are some trimmers that take a lot of time to charge (as long as 8-10 hours). But there are also others that charge quickly (1 hour).
  • Accessories: Look out for trimmers that come with carry pouches and detachable heads (very useful when cleaning).
