Introducing the Retractable USB Charging Trimmer, a game-changer in personal grooming. Designed by Yen Lau, this compact and lightweight trimmer offers a convenient solution for those looking to maintain their style while on the move.
The inspiration behind this design was to create a trimmer that not only provides efficient grooming but also addresses the common issue of losing caps. With a retractable casing, the trimmer ensures that the cap is always attached, eliminating the hassle of finding a place to store it.
One of the standout features of this trimmer is its USB charging capability. In today's world, where USB charging technology is prevalent, the Retractable USB Charging Trimmer takes full advantage of this trend. By incorporating a built-in USB charging pin, this trimmer allows for quick and easy power replenishment, eliminating the need for overseas outlet adapters.
The Retractable USB Charging Trimmer stands out from its competitors with its pen-sized design and lightweight construction. Measuring at just 118mm x 14mm x 16mm and weighing only 24 grams, it easily fits into a purse or pocket, making it the perfect travel companion.
Despite its compact size, this trimmer doesn't compromise on performance. Equipped with a powerful precision micro trimmer, it allows for safe shaping, shaving, or trimming of unwanted hair around the nose, ears, eyebrows, or neckline.
Constructed with stainless steel, a motor, and ABS plastic, the Retractable USB Charging Trimmer is built to last. Its durable materials ensure longevity and reliability, making it a worthwhile investment for any grooming routine.
Operating the trimmer is a breeze. Simply slide the tube open to access the USB charging port, and press the button to power it on or off. With its user-friendly interface, anyone can achieve their desired look effortlessly.
The Retractable USB Charging Trimmer was designed in Hong Kong by Yen Lau. The project began in January 2012 and entered the tooling stage in November 2013, showcasing the dedication and meticulousness that went into its creation.
This innovative design fills a gap in the market, as there were no built-in USB charging trimmers available before. By combining the convenience of USB charging with a retractable casing, Yen Lau has revolutionized the way we groom ourselves. Now, we can charge our trimmers on the go, without the hassle of searching for a USB cord.
Recognized for its ingenuity, the Retractable USB Charging Trimmer was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Beauty, Personal Care, and Cosmetic Products Design category in 2014. This prestigious accolade celebrates designs that showcase technical and creative skills while contributing to improvements in quality of life.
