I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Gentleman, our grooming routines need an actual upgrade every once in a while. Gone are the days of not knowing any better, and settling for mediocre razors that leave us unsatisfied is a non-starter. I wish I knew better years ago.
I know what you’re going to ask next—what does “knew better” actually look like? For me, it’s Meridian’s Trimmer Plus. This tool has been a major level up for me, and I can’t see myself going back to my old routine again.
Here’s why it was ultimately time to part ways with my manual razor, and how the Meridian Trimmer Plus helped transform my stale shave job:
1. My old razor irritated my skin
From the time I started shaving as a teen, I struggled with razor bumps. Using a manual razor often left my skin looking rough, and I always felt less confident post-shave. 🫥
The Meridian Trimmer Plus totally solved this problem. The powerful motor and flexible ceramic blade effortlessly and gently glides along the contours of my body, leaving no irritation behind.
Oh, and major bonus points for the LED spotlight. Thanks to this, I never miss a rogue patch of hair while shaving in low light or around sensitive areas. No more uneven shaves, and a big “hell yes!” to flawlessly smooth results. 😍
2. My old razor left a trail of nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs in its wake
We've all experienced the frustrating nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs as byproducts of a shoddy shave job. From clumsy razors and trimmers, to unsteady hands, to uneven skin, the list of culprits behind these shaving horror stories is endless.
Meridian's anti-nick blade technology makes shaving snafus a thing of the past. The Trimmer Plus gave me a smooth and safe trimming experience—even in the shower.
I’m more confident when I shave now, and I don’t have any more battle scars to hide.
3. My old razor was a fragile one-trick-pony
I'm naturally a hairy dude, and my hair is more coarse in certain areas. My razor served me well in one grooming area, but other parts of me needed more.
Meridian understood the assignment when they added the adjustable comb with four settings (1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm). The Trimmer Plus is not only excellent for "down there" hair care—it performs equally well on my chest, back, and on every other trimming adventure I take it on.
The freedom of a single trimmer has saved me time and money, and I’m not going back to the Stone Age anytime soon.
4. My old razor was pretty utilitarian
Let's admit it: style matters. And I don’t think I’d put the word “style” in the same sentence as my manual razor. 🪒❌
As a guy, my grooming tools are an extension of my personal aesthetic. Priced at just $89, the Meridian Trimmer Plus comes in six bold colors (Sage and Blaze are so cool), and the soft-touch grip adds a touch of sophistication.
This trimmer combines functionality with a sleek, modern design that makes me look forward to picking it up for every trimming session.
5. My old razor wasn’t waterproof or travel-friendly
I didn’t realize how many features my old razor was lacking until I tried The Meridian Trimmer Plus.
The waterproof design gives me so much flexibility to use in a pinch. While my old razor would get rusty and moldy after leaving them in the shower for days, The Trimmer Plus is completely waterproof.
Moreover, the Jet-set Travel-lock feature gives me peace of mind that it won’t go off during a flight, and the convenient USB charging stand makes it practical for my busy lifestyle.
The takeaway:
I’m no longer interested in slumming it with mediocre grooming tools, and neither should you. The Meridian Trimmer Plus is my permanent resignation from inadequate performance, nicks and cuts, limited durability and versatility, lackluster design, and outdated features.
