Grooming is simple, right? Well, it should be. But sometimes, even the best of us mess things up. We rush, use the wrong tools, and before you know it, we’re left with irritated skin or cuts. Here are the top grooming mistakes you might be making—and exactly how to fix them.
1. Using Dull or Old Blades
If you're using a trimmer with an old set of blades, you're asking for trouble. Dull blades tug instead of trimming, leaving behind redness, irritation, and even painful nicks. Not cool.
How to Fix It:
Replace your blades regularly—about every 4-5 months. Novus Replacement Blades snap on easily and stay razor-sharp, keeping your grooming routine smooth and painless.
2. Skipping Pre-Trim Warm-up
Going straight into trimming without prep is like playing football without warming up. Dry skin and stiff hair increase your chances of irritation and cuts.
How to Fix It:
Always wash your face with warm water first to soften the hair and open up the pores. If you’re in a hurry, using the Novus Trimmer, which is waterproof, lets you groom in the shower for a quick, irritation-free experience.
3. Trimming Too Quickly
Rushing grooming is a guaranteed disaster. Uneven trims, nicks, and irritation happen when you treat grooming like an F1 race.
How to Fix It:
Slow down and let the Novus Trimmer do its job. With advanced skin-safe technology and a 90-minute battery, you've got plenty of time.
4. Forgetting to Clean Your Gear
Dirty grooming tools are full of bacteria, nasty stuff that leads to irritation and breakouts. Plus, it's just gross.
How to Fix It:
Always rinse your Novus Trimmer blades and other grooming tools after use.
5. Leaving a Mess After Trimming
Nobody likes cleaning a hairy sink. It's annoying, gross, and will clog your drain.
How to Fix It:
Use the Novus Beard Bib to catch all those loose hairs while you trim. It’s easy to use and makes cleanup fast, so you can focus on looking sharp without the mess.
Avoid these grooming slip-ups, and you’ll feel better, look sharper, and spend less time fixing avoidable mistakes.
Take your grooming game seriously, but keep it simple, smart, and stress-free.
Happy trimming!
