One of the grooming issues that most men face is how to trim eyebrows, necklines, and *nose, or *ear external hairs. WAHL, manufacturers of various hair trimming products used by professional salons and barbers alike, has an affordable solution that really works! I’ve tested various other brands of such trimmers and found the WAHL models 5619 and 5640 to perform the best. They offer two easily detachable heads, one for eyebrows and the other for ears and neck trimming. The rotary ear and nose trimmer head provides a truly hygienic method of keeping external nose and ear trimming separate from trimming your facial eyebrows. These blades are self-sharping precision blades that easily attach/detach. Simply twist the cutting blade counterclockwise until it’s loose and remove it, or a ¼ of a turn to replace, or to install another blade. To clean remove the blade first as the main unit is not waterproof and rinse with tap water. The trimmer unit is housed in a rugged anodized aluminum black housing that accommodates one AAA battery, not included, that has a long-term battery life. This trimmer is the perfect solution for light hair removal of the nose, ear, brow, sideburns, toes and touchups on the neckline. The plastic trimmer guide can be removed exposing the actual cutting blade when close neckline trimming is desired. Caution must be taken when trimming hair without the guide attached so as not to cut yourself since your skin will be in direct contact with the blade. Removal of the guide can also aid in cleaning both the blade and the guide. This step, however, should be done prior to the cleaning process so as not to subject the main unit to water. Replace the guide to the blade before reattaching to the unit and before storing.
The compact design makes the WAHL trimmer perfect when traveling. Blades are replaceable should the need ever arise. The WAHL trimmer is the perfect trimmer in every way! *Caution: Never insert the trimmer, or any other object into the ear, or nose as you could cause bodily harm. Trimming should be limited to visible external hairs only!
