MrBold Pro for quick touch-ups?

Scissors being faster is one of those things that sounds true until you actually time it. I used to keep a little pair in the bathroom cabinet for exactly that reason, quick swipe before heading out. Problem was I’d always miss a few because you can’t really see what you’re doing up there, so I’d end up going back for a second pass, then a third. That’s what actually ate the time.

Got one of these rotary trimmers last year, different brand but same idea. Once a week is basically how I use it, Sunday night usually, takes maybe fifteen seconds. You just poke it in and move it around a bit. The thing that sold me is you don’t have to aim. With scissors you need a steady hand and decent lighting and a mirror angle that doesn’t make you look like you’re trying to solve a puzzle.

Battery thing is the only real annoyance. Mine sat in a drawer for a couple months, I grabbed it in a hurry and it was dead, so I had to fall back on the scissors anyway. Charge it every few weeks and you’re fine, forget and you’re not.

Weekly use isn’t going to wear it out fast, that’s nothing for a motor. Whether it beats scissors for you depends on how good you are with the scissors. I wasn’t.

I tried one of those rotary trimmers and honestly went back to scissors because the motor felt slower than just grabbing a few hairs. Mine also pulled a bit if I skipped a couple weeks. Might just be me though.

I still grab the scissors for a stray hair here and there, but for a full once over the MrBold is quicker for me. I only use mine every week or two and it has been fine.

I actually prefer a trimmer for touch-ups because I never get the angle right with scissors and end up missing half the hairs. Mine takes like ten seconds and I don’t have to squint in the mirror. Once a week is plenty for me, no issues with it sitting between uses.

Scissors are way slower for me, I always nick myself.

Scissors are still my go-to for a single hair, so I don’t think the MrBold wins on pure speed there. Where it beats them is not having to aim, since I just poke it in and it grabs whatever’s there. Once a week works fine for me, the battery hasn’t been an issue at all.

I only use mine about once a week too and it’s been fine. I keep it in the bathroom drawer, grab it Sunday nights, quick pass around each nostril, done. Charge lasts me weeks that way. The part I actually like is not having to aim at individual hairs like I did with scissors. You just sort of move it around in a circle and it catches whatever’s there. That said, if you’re literally sprinting out the door with one hair sticking out, scissors are still going to be faster because there’s no turning on, no rinsing after. The MrBold wins for me on the weekly tidy up, not the emergency single hair situation.
