Verdict

The Slimline Pro Li fills the detail gap that full-size trimmers miss. Ultra-slim profile gets into tight areas around ears, temples, and necklines. Carbon steel T-blade cuts extremely close. 2-hour cordless runtime.

The JRL Onyx 2020T-B is a dedicated professional trimmer with an 8,200 RPM motor, Smart-Clip power control, an exposed 360-degree EZ-GAP T-blade and up to 3.5 hours of cordless runtime. A charging dock is included for station use.
