What the two heads actually do

A clear breakdown of the wide ceramic blade, the smaller facial head, and how the two comb guards give you four set lengths from three to twelve millimetres.

The wider head for broader areas

We shaped the wider ceramic head to cover broad areas like the bikini line and legs. Its broader edge takes down more hair with each pass. The ceramic teeth sit in a straight line on the handle, which keeps the tool moving evenly across flatter stretches of skin. It clips into place on the waterproof handle and works wet or dry.

A narrow blade for smaller spaces

The second ceramic head is much smaller. We made it for the face, around the eyebrows, upper lip and chin, where a wider blade is awkward to place. Its narrow width lets you see the exact line you are trimming. You can steer it around small contours without covering the skin you want to leave alone.

Four trim lengths on two comb guards

Two reversible comb guards snap over the wider head to give you four fixed lengths: 3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm and 12 mm. Each step leaves three more millimetres of hair behind. The 3 mm side keeps growth close to the skin, 6 mm and 9 mm leave a short, neat layer, and the 12 mm side trims longer growth without taking it down to the surface.

Trimming bare versus using a guard

Running the bare ceramic head against the skin gives you the closest cut the trimmer can make. The ceramic teeth touch the surface directly. Snapping a guard on puts plastic teeth between the moving blade and the skin, holding the hair at an exact height so the tool cuts across a level plane.

Choosing your setup for the day

Pick your head by the area you are working on, then pick your guard by the length you want to keep. Reach for the narrow head for facial lines. Fit the wider head for the body. If you want a close trim, leave the guard off. If you want to keep length, snap on the comb guard that matches your target number.
