It would appear that the days where men used a simple bar of soap, with a cheap razor and a little spritz of aftershave before heading off to ‘start their day,’ is truly long gone. Modern day men appear to have embraced ‘preening’ and quick frankly, often have a more comprehensive grooming routine than even some of their partners.
In recent years, we’ve witnessed a significant expansion in men’s grooming products being available to purchase, and bathroom cabinets seem to contain many more gadgets, gels, serums and beard oils, than ever before. Chaps are (on the whole), taking much more care and pride in their appearance.
BarberBoss (https://www.barberboss.co.uk)
have a range of tools and products to assist with our life maintenance routines. Whether you need some pet clippers or a cordless tooth flosser, they have an array of products on offer to make our lives and daily routines easier.
With facial hair being very much on trend,
The BarberBoss 5-in-1 Men’s Grooming Kit is a helpful accessory to ensure all your wanted (and unwanted!) hair is kept neat, tidy and in check.
My husband has never owned a grooming accessory like this before, only a very ‘standard’ electric shaver, but with Father’s Day around the corner, it is the perfect time to surprise him with the opportunity to try a new grooming gadget. He is unlikely to buy anything like this for himself (although many men would!) so this makes for a really thoughtful and practical gift. I’m sure this will not be one of those gifts which get shoved into a draw, never to see the light of day again. I am certain this will become his new go to ‘primping’ and styling tool.
The BarberBoss 5-In-1 Men’s Grooming Kit comes with the following magnet attachments;
1. Hair and beard trimmer – along with 4 attachment guide comb pieces to use with this function, they come in sizes 12mm, 9mm, 6mm and 3mm so you have the versatility of trimming beards (or could even be used for shorter haircuts) to any desired length.
2. Nose and ear trimmer – for getting rid of those pesky unwanted straggly hairs in hard to reach areas.
3. Body trimmer – perfect should you wish to have a closer shave for any unwanted chest, arm pit or even leg hair.
4. Precision trimmer – ideal for precise edging and detailed beard styling to achieve a sharp, defined look.
5. Detail foil – for a smooth finish and ultra close shave.
It also comes with a comb, cleaning brush and some oil for the blades.
The attachments are extremely easy to change. There are no release buttons to press, just simply pull the attachment and it slides straight off. Each attachment has an identically designed shaped fit, so in order to put the next attachment on, as long as you’ve got it orientated in the correct direction, it slides straight on and then the magnetic forces keep that attachment piece firmly in place.
The main hand set has an ‘on/off’ button and then ‘up’ and ‘down’ buttons to control the speed functions. An LED display shows the battery status, speed level (the 3 levels are measured in RPM) and a travel lock feature. This ensures that it can be ‘locked’ to deactivate the appliance whilst travelling. A vital function preventing any potential ‘cutting’ mishaps whilst on the go.
For easy use and safety measures, this is a cordless product allowing for freedom of movement, whilst also reassuring the user that wires will not get caught up or potentially ‘cut’ during operation.
The appliance can be charged using the USB cable provided. This is compact and efficient, regardless of whether you’re taking it away on holiday, using it in the comfort of your own home, or away on a work trip for a couple of nights. The only downside side I observed, is that there is a lack of blade cover/protection and no carry pouch provided.
Please note, the product states that it is IPX6 waterproof, this means it is only water resistant, so it cannot be submerged in water. Do not use it in the bath!
Although my husband has yet to deplete the battery from its full charge, the instruction manual states that the battery has a 1 hour charging time and when fully charged, it has a 60 minute usage time.
During use, he said that the beard trimmer was smooth and glided along without catching, snagging or pulling on his hair. The precision trimmer was effortless to use and created a sculptured neat edge to his stubble for a polished look.
The only other potential negative, is that due to the design and button placement, whilst holding it, occasionally and unintentionally, my husband knocked the speed function. This had little to no impact on his shaving experience though.
I love the aesthetics of the BaberBoss 5-in-1 Grooming kit. The appliance looks sleek, professional and has a quality feel to it. It comes with a display tray so all the pieces can be kept together in one neat and contained place in our bathroom.
Priced at just £32.99, this grooming trimmer offers exceptional value for a high quality grooming tool designed to become a regular addition to your maintenance routine. It would make the perfect present for a Father’s Day gift.
