Trimmers are a must for cleaning up hairy necks and shortening and shaping mustaches, beards, and sideburns. Trimmers — the petite cousin of larger, more powerful clippers — are meant to crisply trim the edges along the perimeter of the hair, and shape sideburns, beards, and mustaches. See Figure 2-3 for a comparison of trimmers versus clippers.

FIGURE 2-3: Trimmers versus clippers.

When people try to use trimmers to do clipper haircuts, chances are excellent that the trimmers will have a mechanical meltdown.

Trimmers work better and last longer when you properly maintain them. The maintenance process includes putting two drops of oil across the top of the blade while it’s running (at the end of each cutting day) and keeping debris from building up by frequently removing the blade and brushing away the snippets of hair. (For a more detailed step-by-step on how to maintain your trimmers, check out Chapter 8.)
