Corded, and deliberately so. The Hero is the trimmer barbers keep plugged in at the station for the jobs that happen at the end of every cut, where the last thing wanted is a machine that has gone flat.

Its blade is a high-precision carbon steel T-blade, factory set to zero overlap, meaning the teeth of the cutting blade sit flush with the ones beneath. Nothing catches, nothing is left behind, and a line comes out as a line rather than a fuzzy approximation.

  • Carbon steel T-blade set to zero overlap
  • Durable rotary motor with steady, mains-fed power
  • Compact and light, made for wrist work rather than arm work
  • Built for outlining, necklines and design detail

Constant power from the wall is an advantage people underrate. No charge to manage, no fade in performance towards the end of a busy day, and no battery to replace eventually.

Application tips

It lives plugged in at the station, so give yourself enough lead to get round the chair without dragging the machine off the side.

No guard on this one. Lay the T-blade flat to the skin for an outline, then work the tip into corners and the front hairline. Turn it over and pull straight down for a neckline. A drop of oil every few cuts keeps the same bite.

Results

Edges come out crisp, with a hard boundary where the hair ends and nothing left behind to shadow the line.

Necklines look square and deliberate rather than roughly squared off. On design work the blade follows the path you set instead of wandering off it. A light body keeps the tool steady when you are working an inch from somebody's ear.

Composition

The full INCI is printed on the pack. We publish it here as soon as the brand supplies it, and we will read it off the bottle for you if you ask.
