STERLING, Ill. (March 10, 2018) – For facial haired men, and the women who love them, a neat beard means more than a well-groomed look — mess-free trimming is high on their list of priorities. That’s why men’s grooming leader Wahl is introducing two new trimmers. In addition to the exceptional performance expected from Wahl, the new Lithium Ion Vacuum Trimmer and Lithium Ion Aqua Blade are both designed with easy cleaning in mind.

“As a leader in the men’s grooming category, we make it a priority to know what men want and need from their trimmers,” said Steven Yde, division vice president of marketing for Wahl. “We also dig deeper to find out what the women who live with bearded men think. After taking all this into consideration, we think our two newest trimmers have what it takes to make everyone happy.”

Lithium Ion Vacuum Trimmer 

According to research, Wahl found that women love the look of a neatly groomed beard, but 60 percent hate the whiskers left behind after a trim. And men aren’t fans of this byproduct either. In comes Wahl’s new Lithium Ion Vacuum Trimmer. From the company that first originated the vacuum trimmer, it’s not surprising this latest offering from Wahl crushes the competition with the highest air velocity in the industry. This translates into 99 percent of hair trimmings being captured — and no more mess.

Features special to the trimmer include an adjustable vacuum intake to control the amount of suction, and anti-choke exhaust ports on the front and back for high-performance. Clean up is a breeze with a hair canister that can either be removed and emptied, or popped open and dumped.

Standard to Wahl, the Lithium Ion Vacuum Trimmer doesn’t compromise on its grooming capabilities with the power of lithium ion technology, a 90 minute run time, self-sharpening precision blades, LED charge indicator, nine guide combs and cord and cordless operation. 

Lithium Ion Aqua Blade

In addition to a trusted brand, quality blades and convenient clean ups are important factors for men choosing a facial hair trimmer. The new Lithium Ion Aqua Blade addresses these concerns with features that include:

• The trimmer’s special high-precision stainless steel blade is the first in the industry with a lifetime warranty, so there’s no need to ever buy a replacement.
• The trimmer’s blades are also designed for an extra close cut. While a typical trimmer’s blade is set back at 0.5mm - 0.75mm, the Lithium Ion Aqua Blade is set back at only 0.2mm - 0.4mm for a super close shave.
• Completely waterproof, the trimmer’s non-slip body style works perfectly in wet or dry grooming conditions. What’s more, it’s fully washable for easy cleaning.
• The trimmer is also powered with lithium ion technology, has a three hour run time, one minute quick charge and 12 guide combs for the choice of a trimming, edging or skin-close shaving.

The Lithium Ion Vacuum Trimmer and Lithium Ion Aqua Blade both have a MSRP of $59.99, and are currently available for distribution.
