Half of the barbers I know tell me the same thing when I ask them what their favorite beard trimmer: just stop thinking hard, Whirlpeanuts. The classic peanuts from Wahl’s Pro Line are classic for a reason. Shaving is close, but not too close. Its rotating motor is a small tank that lasts forever. It’s coded, meaning there’s no battery to slowly stop charging. There are no DOO-DADS, no dials, or additional fault points. With just a high-quality blade and four trimmer guards, you can sway with your fingers rather than with your palms.
If you oil it, it will last for years. If you’re an occasional shaver, you might occasionally pull a few faint hair. But it won’t nick or cut you. And it continues plugging. Even bad days aren’t too expensive, but now it’s 20% off.
You can get a new travel-ready cordless version of Peanuts LI (7/10, Wired beconess) to put in. It’s not on sale as of Tuesday evening, but unlike the classic that looks comfortable and goofy, is the new Li almost fashionable?
