When you first start using your beard trimmer, you will find a small tube of clear mineral oil that seems almost misplaced with the packaging. However, you will eventually start wondering why the oil was included and the purpose of the thin tube when it is on your bathroom cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must oil your beard trimmer after every use, making sure that the oil reaches the smallest, deepest components of the trimmer. An unoiled beard trimmer will quickly become unusable as the blades rust and hair becomes clogged inside the smaller moving parts of the trimmer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the point of oiling your beard trimmer will save you from having to replace the trimmer when it becomes clogged without maintenance. Many people forget the importance of just a few drops of oil after the trimmer has been used, quickly leading to wasted money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens If You Don\u2019t Oil Your Beard Trimmers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you do not oil your beard trimmer, the smaller components in the beard trimmer will become rusted, leading to malfunctions. The blades will also become rusted, which can cause them to either become chipped or simply entirely blunt, causing them to pull your hair out instead of cutting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A beard trimmer that is never properly oiled will quickly become broken to a point beyond repair; it is important to remember this when leaving your trimmer to the side. Many first-time owners get frustrated when their trimmers break in a few months, unable to understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blades of beard trimmer, even smaller ones, are made from high-carbon steel, which makes them great for cutting but susceptible to rust. The beard oil will remove the moisture from the trimmer after each use and will further stop any rust from developing on the blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do You Maintain a Beard Trimmer With Oil?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are only two real steps to maintaining your beard trimmer; the first is to clean it with a brush when you are done trimming, which should be easy to do. However, applying oil can and has caused some issues as people apply the oil at the wrong time or in the wrong way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two parts to oiling your beard trimmer, both of these need to be done at the right time and in the right way. Many people have learned that when the beard oil is not applied properly, it can cause more problems than it can solve, causing headaches when you want to trim your beard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When To Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The beard trimmer needs to be oiled with a few drops every time you have used the trimmer; this will remove any of the moisture clinging to it. The oil also removes and lifts most of the smaller hairs stuck inside the machine, helping to keep it clean and ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most beard lovers do their trimming session then drop a small amount of beard oil on the trimmer blades, leaving the trimmer to stand upright. However, it should be noted that if you are using the beard trimmer each day, we recommend dropping a few extra drops on the trimmer once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you are done trimming everything, we recommend holding the trimmer over your washbasin, dropping the oil onto the bottom of the blades. Twisting the trimmer in a clockwise fashion while adding a few more drops will ensure the oil is mixed in properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the oil has been dropped onto the blade, it must be put in the holder that the trimmer comes with, the blades facing upwards. If you have only trimmed a little bit of your hair, you can put the trimmer in the holder and put a few drops on the tips of the blade, allowing the oil to flow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Oils Are The Best For Beard Trimmers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As it currently stands, the included mineral oil that you received with the beard trimmer will only last around a month if you are using it carefully. Many beard trimmer lovers become desperate near the end and think that beard oil will work to clean your beard trimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having the right beard trimmer oil will mean the difference between replacing the beard trimmer after a month of having it seemingly forever. We have six different beard oils that we know and trust, each with its properties, ranging from affordable to slightly more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
