The Wahl AquaBlade Wet & Dry Beard and Stubble Trimmer would be the ideal present for Father Christmas. Its multifunction operations allow precision trimming, shaping and close shaving, allowing Santa to look his best for future Christmases. It’s perfect for any facial hair lover.

I can testify that Wahl products are well made and reliable as I have used their hair clippers for years and their pet grooming tools. However, the pet grooming has been on my dogs and not myself.

The company has a range of products under the name AquaBlade which means they can be either washed with water or used in the shower. The AquaBlade wet/dry beard and stubble trimmer will be the only trimmer you will need to perform multiple tasks.

Trim, edge and shave with a blade that cuts 60% closer than Wahl’s standard trimmer blade without irritating a traditional razor blade. Wahl place so much confidence in the performance of the blades they provide a lifetime blade warranty. You will never have to repurchase another blade!

Whether you have a beard like Santa, longbeard, short beard, or just stubble with the 16 guide combs that come with the Wahl AquaBlade you can keep your beard in shape. The soft-touch rubber non-slip grip makes it a dream to hold, even in the shower as the AquaBlade is fully washable so you can use it wet or dry.

The AquaBlade trimmer has long-lasting lithium-ion battery technology which provides 180 minutes cordless run time. A 60-minute charge gives full running time or three minutes usage from a one-minute quick charge.

The AquaBlade Beard and Stubble trimmer can be used for hair styling too, and Wahl has compiled a list of the trending looks which will carry into 2021. This year we have all had to learn new ways of doing things and a lot has changed, from how we socialise and work to how we live our everyday lives. Grooming has been no exception to this.

For most men, a bi-weekly visit to the barbers is nothing out of the ordinary, but with lockdown forcing closures men across the nation had to take their hair matters into their own hands. This looks like it will continue into the early months of 2021

Swapping the comfort of a barber’s chair with a kitchen stool, clippers in one hand and a mirror in the other can be a daunting task. Some men kept things simple by tidying their locks and beard as best they could. Others experimented either shaving off their hair altogether or trusting their partner to perform the task for them. Fortunately, 2020 is coming to a close.

In the spirit of ‘New Year, New Me’ January offers the perfect time to try something new and give people the motivation to do something good for themselves, like trying a new look.

Simon Shaw, Global Artistic Director at Wahl, shares his tips on what to expect for men’s hair trends in 2021. If you can’t get to a professional Barber, then try some of these looks yourself.

Longer locks, less hassle
Longer hair is in thanks to lockdown. A couple of weeks of growing your hair and you may be in for a new style. As we enter the New Year, there are signs that this trend will be sticking around, thanks to its low maintenance and minimal effort appeal.

A blowout fade
It’s time to give your hair an upgrade. Think length on top and faded sides – it’s a classic look, favoured by celebs such as Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham and is bang on-trend. With lockdown forcing many men to grow out their locks, the blowout fade has made a comeback. The blowout style is adaptable and can suit most guys; all you need is hair length, creativity and skill.

Short and textured
Out with the slicked-back look and in with textured hair that’s easy to manage. If you’ve grown out your hair or fancy adding a little bit more volume, this is the look for you. It’s a new and upcoming look and can be styled slightly differently depending on the hair type. Hopefully, with 2021 bringing better things than 2020, this is the time to step out of your comfort zone.

Whatever your preference for a hairstyle or facial hair look the wet & dry beard and stubble trimmer from Wahl will allow you to create it if your skills can. It is a powerful, stylish piece of kit which is versatile and good value for money.
