How-to create different looks using the i-trim™ precise Stubble Trimmer

A popular and most recent trend in men’s grooming is the stubble look – a well groomed light hint of facial hair. The stubble look is a rugged way to add interest to a man’s face without sporting a full beard – it can help make a man’s face look romantic, sophisticated, cool rugged or even refined, depending on which way you wear it. It is one of the lasting hints of facial hair trends that works for so many different men.

Maintaining a stubble look requires regular grooming with the i-trim precise, to ensure that you don’t get a patchy or uneven appearance. It is recommended to trim every couple of days to keep your shadow effect from sprouting into a full beard. The key to staying trimmed is paying attention to how fast your facial hair grows. The faster you can grow a beard, the quicker you’ll need to keep up with your stubble to ensure it stays shaped – stubble is an ongoing process of upkeep, so you can’t just shape it and leave it.

NB – Use on clean, dry hair. If possible when using for the first time, try and grow your facial hair for at least 4 days before cutting. This will give you a better result, as your facial hair will feel thicker.

To create a short, shadow stubble look:

1. If your hair is already quite short, set the motorised comb guide to 0.4mm trimming length. If your hair is quite long, thick and coarse, pre-trim the hair using a longer length setting, such as 5mm, then once all hair has been trimmed, set the motorised comb guide to 0.4mm length.
2. Move the trimmer upwards through the hair, a little at a time, with and against the direction of hair growth, whichever is most comfortable, as most men have hair growing in various directions.
3. For a close finish around the sideburns and cheeks, detach the stubble comb guide (refer to ‘Using The Trimmer Without The Comb Guide’ for further information) and turn the trimmer over so that the blades are closest to the face. Trim around the sideburns, cheeks and edge of your stubble, taking care around the sideburns and edges of your stubble so that you do not trim the hair too short.

To create a longer, designer stubble look (mid-length stubble):

1. If your hair is already quite short, set the motorised comb guide to 2mm trimming length. If your hair is quite long, thick and coarse, pre-trim the hair using a longer length setting, such as 5mm, then once all hair has been trimmed, set the motorised comb guide to 2mm length.
