Trimmers are an essential in every man’s grooming kit. They keep you looking fresh and clean and allow you to trim your beard, your hair, or you know, the stuff down there. But, the trimmer has yet to be updated for today’s modern man, until now. The folks at Bevel created their own Nas-approved version of the trimmer. “I trust my barber to choose the best for my line-ups and he uses the Bevel Trimmer,” said the rapper.

Just how did Bevel manage to update the trimmer? With over 6,000 strokes a minute more than four hours of constant power, two months’ worth of standby time, and four times less vibration than your standard trimmer. Best of all, it’s cordless, so you don’t have to be restrained by a cord, or tangled by one. The Bevel Trimmer also keeps itself clean. “Residue from hair and skin can build up on the surface of trimmer blades, which can lead to bumps and irritation,” according to Bevel. “Our blade repels oil & water, minimizing residue that can build up over time.”

The Bevel Trimmer also allows you to adjust your trimmer blades with ease, so you don’t have to fiddle around with tools to get the length you want. Also, the way the Bevel Trimmer is designed lets you hold it comfortably, and it’s not heavy at all. “The perfectly weighted body strikes the balance between security and maneuverability,” according to Bevel.

“Together, the faceted body and soft-touch finish ensure that you always have complete control. The push back is on you though.”

On top of that, there’s a hook so you can hang it in your bathroom. So update your trimmer by getting rid of your old one and replacing it with the Bevel Trimmer.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
