Abstract
A hair trimmer includes a cutting head and a body configured for easy reach of the hard to reach places, such as behind ears. This is achieved by shaping a front portion of the body to have cutouts behind the cutting head, which allow the trimmer to navigate around parts such as an ear. The cutouts also improve air flow around the front of the trimmer's body, thereby improving performance and durability of internal trimmer components through better cooling. The walls of the cutouts may have air ducts to further improve the cooling of the internal components. The cutouts also reduce the vibration of the cutting head and the body, leading to better trimming experience for the user and to improved durability of the trimmer. The method of using a trimmer with a cutting head and a body configured for easy reach of hard to reach places, such as behind ears, is also described.
