Men’s Corner E ver wondered how Drake’s beard is well shaped-up and neat along the sides or how men these days come out from a barber with a well-shav- en, good-looking beard? Beard fades go well with a faded haircut and they especially look neat and well shaven with a shape up. Shape ups are ideal for men who want to enhance their face shape, or sort of contour and give their face shape a sharper look. For exam- ple, men with a round face shape can go for a straight or angled style. If you can’t picture out the concept of shape ups, think Seneca Crane of Hunger Games–his beard may be a bit more exaggerated then what we mean, but you get the point. It’s a clean-edge shave that adds a little oomph to your man’s bearded look. Goa- tees and moustaches can have fun in this trend as well, Seneca Crane again is a good example. So how does one simply achieve such an attractive look? Shavers, of course. Ideally the electric and single line ones–trimmers to be exact. Let’s take a look at some electric trim- mers available in the market. Buying online is okay, but we recommend locating a nearby store to test the product first before making a purchase. Wahl Moustache & Beard Battery Trimmer This trimmer is one of the most affordable trimmers that you can find in the market. It comes with three guide combs (1/16”, 1/8”, and 3/16”), a cleaning brush, blade oil, a moustache comb, and a soft stor- age case. It is battery operated and re- quires two AA batteries, which are not included in the package. $14.99, home.wahl.com Precision Power haircut and Beard Trimmer This at-home shaver features titanium-coat- ed cutting blades for a precise, smooth cut and reduced vibration.
