What GQ said
GQ's editors spent the year testing new releases in men's skin care, hair care, shaving and fragrance, and the Grooming Awards are the products they kept. For body hair, the editor's point was that it can be a good thing, but it still has to be kept in check. He described the MARLOWE. trimmer as a simple, exacting tool for the job: precise rather than a lawn mower that tears through everything, and light enough that he packs it for beach trips and uses it on everything from shoulders to below the belt. He closed on two practical points: it is rechargeable, and it is waterproof.
Why it works
A body trimmer has one job, which is to take hair down evenly without nicking or pulling, and to do it anywhere on the body. The No. 145 is built around that. It is waterproof, so it can be used in the shower and rinsed clean. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver, which matters on the places you cannot see. And it is made for full-body grooming rather than adapted from a beard trimmer.
