2-for-Tuesday: Trym II Modern Hair Clipper
- You get 2 wireless hair trimmers, 1 for each side of your face
- Or you could give them as gifts, though we can’t quite guarantee that they’ll arrive by December 25th
- They each come with a charging stand, 4 Trymming attachments, and a cleaning kit
- The Amazon page says they’re packaged in a “gift box” which is a stretch, though the box is nice
- Model: PETRYM2 (Short for “Prune Eyebrows and Trim Your Mustache, Too”)
Why Don't You Back That Thing Up
Now, these Trym clippers would made excellent gifts for a couple of your facially over-follicled friends. We can’t guarantee that they’ll arrive by Christmas, though they probably will. And if your friends have disregarded their own grooming by not purchasing themselves a beard trimmer, they likely aren’t the types to get steamed over a late gift.
But you might also consider giving both Trymmers to the same person. Or keeping both for yourself. Why would you do that? Because people are dumb.
More specifically, people (yourself included) forget to charge their battery-powered stuff. Having a backup Trymmer all but guarantees that you’ll have one charged and ready when you need to fight back the encroaching undergrowth.
That might sound silly or even neurotic, but think about it: How often have you packed a backup powerbank for your phone only to realize when you needed it that you forgot to charge the powerbank itself? You can (mostly) avoid this inevitability by owning two powerbanks, as that backup-backup battery will be charged even if you were too lazy or stupid to recharge the first.
That doesn’t mean that you or your friends are lazy and stupid people. Just that sometimes, inevitably, you are.
Of course, how can you be sure that a single backup Trymmer is enough? You may get complacent in your recharging, knowing you will always have a backup ready, and forget to charge either. You had best buy another pair as backups.
That said, you can’t guarantee that your home will always have power. If a natural disaster or power outage hits your area, you could find yourself with 4 uncharged Trymmers and a desperate need to clip your neckbeard. You should probably buy a backup diesel generator to ensure timely grooming.
You could always forget to refill your generator, of course. So you should probably pick up a few backup drums of diesel after you click “Buy It” on these Trymmers. Better safe than hairy.
And what if the global economy collapses and petroleum becomes the de facto currency of the ensuing apocalypse? You could find that you forgot to charge your Trym, you forgot to charge your backup Trym, you forgot to charge your 2 other backup Tryms, you forgot to refill your diesel generator, and that maniacs had looted your backup diesel drums. You should probably buy a bear trap to protect your horde.
And a backup bear trap in case of mechanical failure …
