Coarse Hair Trimmers

The Bevel Trimmer Promises Cleaner Cuts for People of Color

— January 12, 2016 — Fashion
At first glance, a person would probably be tempted to purchase the Bevel Trimmer based solely on looks. Chic and sculptural, it would make a fine addition to any barber's collection. Yet what it promises is even more impressive than its modern design. The Bevel Trimmer is made with people of color in mind and claims to offer a cleaner and sharper cut for coarse hair than any other leading brand.

Created by startup Walker & Company, the Bevel Trimmer is not only ergonomic, but also boasts water- and oil-resistant blades that are easily adjusted and replaced. Tristan Walker, CEO of Walker & Company, says, "You go to any kind of barbershop. The barbers are really using the same trimmers every other barber is using. We set out to make what we believe is the most advanced trimmer on the planet."
