The T9 is a compact rechargeable trimmer with T-shaped blades for crisp outlines, edging, beards and patterns; the length from 1.5 to 4 mm is set with four guide combs. The most affordable version is the T9 Dragon in a black body (125 ₴, 1.5–2 hours of runtime); the Vintage T9 Gold and Black Edition have a metal body, 40 mm blades that cut from 0.3 mm and up to 120 minutes of runtime (158–180 ₴); versions with an organizer stand for the guide combs cost 223–316 ₴.

The T9 trimmer became popular thanks to its T-shaped blade: it makes it easy to create a clean line on the neck and temples, outline a beard, cut patterns and finish a short haircut at home. Several versions are sold under the T9 name, and they differ in body, blades and what comes in the box. Let’s see which one to choose.

How to use the T9 trimmer
- Fully charge the trimmer before first use.
- Cut dry, clean hair: wet hair sticks to the blades and gets cut unevenly.
- For outlines, work without a guide comb, holding the blade at a slight angle to the skin and using short strokes.
- For a short haircut, attach a guide comb (1.5, 2, 3 or 4 mm) and move the trimmer against the direction of hair growth.
- After use, clean the hair off the blades with the brush.
Blade care
- After every haircut, brush the hair out of the blades with the included brush.
- From time to time, lubricate the blades with a drop of clipper oil — this way they heat up less and stay sharp longer.
- Do not rinse the trimmer under the tap unless the manufacturer states that it is water-resistant: water damages the motor and the battery.
- Store the trimmer with a guide comb on or on its stand so the blade edge does not get damaged.
