Why We Love This Deal
Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event is running through May 8, and while most of the attention usually goes to makeup, hair, and skincare, the men's grooming deals are definitely worth a look. Meridian, a brand that has built a following for its body trimmers that were actually designed for the job rather than repurposed beard trimmers, is in the mix with a huge deal of 40% off its Original trimmer.
Meridian's $50 The Trimmer Original is on sale for only $30 at Amazon in all colorways, except for two. This No. 1 bestselling trimmer has been bought over 12,000 times across all colorways in the last month and has over 22,000 five-star ratings. Here's why people love it.
Meridian The Trimmer Original, $30 (was $50) at Amazon
What Shoppers Should Know
- Blade: Ceramic, anti-nick guard
- Water Resistance: 100% waterproof
- Charge Time: 90 minutes
- Includes: 2 guide combs, cleaning brush, USB charging cable
- Best For: Body grooming, manscaping, all hair types
Meridian built the Original around a ceramic blade that trims just above the skin instead of against it, making it safer than using a traditional beard trimmer. The fully waterproof construction means you can run it in the shower, the two adjustable guide combs give you length control, and the USB charging cable keeps it travel-ready (along with the overall small and lightweight design). It can handle anything from the chest to below the belt without needing to switch tools.
Manscaped’s latest Lawn Mower (Meridian’s most direct name-brand competitor) retails for $110, making The Original Trimmer less than a third of the price for something with a similar feature set. While you don't get a built-in light feature and some additional attachments, Meridian’s trimmer is still waterproof, offers longer battery life, and some may prefer its ceramic blade, which won’t dull as quickly as stainless steel.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Generally speaking, shavers and trimmers in this price range aren’t the most reliable, but there’s a reason this is the No. 1 bestselling product in the category: “I bought a Meridian trimmer with low hopes, well it blew me out of the water with how gentle, smooth, and great it cuts.”
It’s incredibly low maintenance as well: “Battery lasts for weeks between charges.” This same reviewer also wrote, “Consistent, accurate, reliable, never cut my skin or pulled a hair, can’t say the same of other and more expensive shavers.”
Meridian’s The Trimmer Original is available now for $30, but with limited-time Amazon deals, it’s a good idea to jump on them sooner rather than later, because the price could jump back up at any time.
