If you’re used to shaving with disposable razors, you know the feeling: The first few swipes of your razor remove some hair, but then it promptly gets clogged with hair and dead skin, rendering it useless. You can try to shake the hair out or bang the razor against a surface to clear it, but you’ll never get that initial smooth shave out of it again. Depending on how much of your body you’re shaving, the whole ordeal can take half an hour at best… or several hours if you’re like me and have been blessed with a lot of body hair, everywhere.
The Meridian hair trimmer changed all that for me. Shaves that once took me an hour now take a breezy 15 minutes.
The Meridian electric razor utilizes a powerful motor that promises to effortlessly cut through even the thickest of hair — and in my experience, it has more than delivered. I love how it shaves just above your skin, which helps prevent painful, itchy razor burn bumps and frustrating ingrown hairs.
Unlike disposable razors, you can use this on dry or wet skin, which has been a game-changer for me. Plus, I’ve rarely nicked myself with this electric razor. It sports a dedicated nick guard to help prevent cuts, and simply spends less time on your skin than disposable razors, so there is less opportunity for nicks. Its head is also designed in a slope to position the razor at an ideal angle to shave course hairs.
It’s available in three colors, includes various guards in case you want to trim your hair to a specified length and comes with a one-year warranty to help ensure you’re fully satisfied. I sing the praises of this electric razor anytime I get. So, in my opinion, it’s a true no-brainer.
