It is a laser-guided tool that ensures every trim is as fresh as one straight from the barber's, without paying the same price. In addition to the Class 1 laser that projects lines onto the face, the Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer is also equipped with 17 length settings, a [dual-sided trimmer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-trim-system) offering both wide and narrow ends, [self-sharpening blades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lawn-mower-50-ultra) as well as a lithium ion battery that can run for up to an hour on a single charge. Easily washable, it is a slim tool that is convenient to pack and tote around. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Laser-guided Grooming Tools:** The integration of lasers into grooming tools opens up opportunities for precise and professional-quality at-home grooming experiences. - **Multi-functional Trimmers:** Trimmers with multiple features and settings provide users with versatility and customizable grooming options. - **Portable Grooming Devices:** Compact and easily transportable grooming devices offer convenience and enable on-the-go grooming routines. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Personal Care and Grooming:** The personal care and grooming industry can explore the use of laser technology and multi-functional designs to enhance their product offerings and attract tech-savvy consumers. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can leverage laser technology applications to create innovative grooming tools and capture a share of the growing market for high-tech personal care products. - **Travel and Accessories:** The travel and accessories industry can develop portable and compact grooming devices that cater to the needs of frequent travelers and individuals who prioritize convenience in their grooming routines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hair-Lifting Electric Shavers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-series-9-pro-electric-shaver.md) - [Stubble-Sculpting Hair Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manscaped-the-chairman-pro.md) - [Frequent Traveler Grooming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panasonic-multishape.md) - [Camera-Equipped Beard Shavers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kongeeker-q1.md) - [Two-in-One Shaving Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiglider.md) - [Gender-Neutral Intimate Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-norelco-oneblade-intimate.md) - [Camera-Equipped Hair Clippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutcam.md) - [2-In-1 Trimmer Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-trim-system.md) - [Next-Level Head Shaving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/best-electric-head-shaver.md)
