And here is why: I just brought the Weed Whacker with me on a road trip. However, make sure you bring the charging cable with you when you travel even if you think the device is fully juiced. If you groom your ears and nose a couple of times a week, you won't need to recharge for quite a while. Manscaped promises you up to 90 minutes of power, which is pretty accurate, according to my let-it-run-till-the-battery-dies test. just take care to pack it in a way that the button won't be accidentally triggered in your bag. The Manscaped Weed Whacker travels well and its battery life is long. So I waited a few days and tried again, but the Weed Whacker still struggled with these shorter hairs. I heard that satisfying crackling sound that told me that the 'weeds' were whacked, fuggedaboutit.īut upon closer inspection, I noticed that the Weed Whacker had missed a few stray short hairs on my lobes and couldn't seem to snip them no matter how precisely I aimed the blade head. I gently ran the blade head along the inside of my ear canal, swiped around the outside, along the edges of my cartilage, and then around my ear lobes, where, embarrassingly, most of the unwanted fuzz grows.

I guided the cylindrical blade gently into my ears, taking care to not push too hard or too far inside as per the instructions. I cleaned the trimmer (more on that below) and moved on to my ears. So I soon learned that when I heard that sound, I knew it was whacking those weeds. The trimmer is very quiet but when it hits hair, it makes a soft, crackling noise. So once I knew where to aim, The Weed Wacker took care of those stray hairs easily.

I asked my wife to inspect my nostrils with a flashlight (she gets my vote for Wife of the Year, duh) and she alerted me to a few spots I'd missed. I blame this on both operator error and significant overgrowth (I can't remember the last time I actually trimmed my nose hairs). However, the first time I tested it I spent almost five minutes trimming my nose hairs. The instructions say to spend about a minute trimming each nostril and ear. Overall, Manscaped's Weed Whacker made quick work of removing unwanted hair. Manscaped products are also sold on Amazon, with no subscription plan. I told you not to get me started.) It's worth noting that if you opt for the Peak Hygiene Plan with this package, you get a new blade for both trimmers for the same $14.99 every three months. The fact that the company makes and sells mock newsprint-'Dual purpose – entertaining yet practical,' Manscaped says-to capture our unwanted body hair because we apparently no longer read actual newspapers makes me irrationally angry but I know I can't change the world. The Performance Package costs $119.99, or $109.99 with Peak Hygiene Plan subscription, and includes The Weed Whacker, the aforementioned Lawn Mower for your boys down there, a bottle each of Crop Preserver and Crop Reviver (lotions and potions for your delicate bits-eye roll), a travel bag called The Shed, Manscaped boxers, and a Magic Mat, which is a disposable mat that looks like an actual newspaper. But you get a $10 discount-$29.99 for the device-if you sign up for the “Peak Hygiene Plan,” which costs you $14.99 every three months for a fresh blade.

The Weed Whacker retails for $39.99 on with no further commitment. Do I really need to get a new blade, which costs half as much as the trimmer itself, beeteedub, every three months?') (This business model, while fiscally sound for the seller, always makes me go, 'hmm. As with its other products, Manscaped discounts the device if you buy it as part of a package and/or you agree to sign up for the company's blade-replenishment subscription. Manscaped's pricing structure is a bit weird. Is this trendy new men's skincare brand worth the money?
