Key Features

Let us have a look at the features that are responsible for this beard trimmer’s impressive performance.

No matter if you have rough, unruly, or thick hairs, the trimmer will move smoothly and will catch maximum hairs in a single go. Right from your beard, to your moustache and sideburns, it will not just trim the hairs but will add fine details to them to ensure that you are able to carry an attractive look.

• Quick-Adjust Dial: This Panasonic beard trimmer features an easy-to-use dial for adjusting the trimming length. It has a total of 19 trimming lengths ranging from 1 to 10 mm in 0.5 mm succession. Simply turn the dial to choose the length you want.

• Wet/Dry Operation: This beard trimmer can be used along with shaving foam or gel for a wet shave over a sink or you can directly use it on your face for a dry shave when you are on-the-go. This feature allows you to quickly trim your hair when you are running out of time but still need precise and clean results.

• Water Drain: The Panasonic Milano All-in-One Trimmer features a water drain that can be easily opened to eliminate the water which gets collected in the trimmer while cleaning. Needless to say, it is 100% waterproof and can be easily cleaned under a faucet.

Cleaning, Renew & Maintenance

Cleaning after every use and regular maintenance of the trimmer is very important to enhance the shelf life of the trimmer. Fortunately, both the cleaning and maintenance of this trimmer are very simple. As mentioned above, this beard trimmer is 100% waterproof and you can easily wash it under running water. It is preferable if the water is warm. It has a drain hole for eliminating the water that goes into the trimmer along with the cut hair.

If we talk about the maintenance, it is recommended that you should lubricate the blades of the trimmer after washing with the help of the small lubricant bottle included with the trimmer. While the blades are made from stainless steel, there is a possibility that they might corrode. Thus, it is important to lubricate the blades after every use. Apart from preventing corrosion, lubrication also helps in enhancing the performance of the trimmer when being used.
