The latest Kickstarter-funded mowers from MANMOWER® – the uniquely simple way to stay groomed wherever you go – only here.
It’s been a long road (see more on the project below) but we have been innovating through Kickstarter since 2018, and these new mowers will be the results of this customer feedback and refinement.
***NEW***
ADJUSTABLE – structural improvements to both mowers available in this campaign, creating fully timeless tools with improved strength, easy disassembly and cutting length adjustment.
See below for more specific detail on the improvements to be made to the mowers in this campaign.
MANMOWER UNIQUE QUALITIES:
Nothing else is so portable, so compact, robust, and easy-to-use.
Your mower is built-to-last-a-lifetime, and it keeps your scruff nice and trim wherever you go.
Reimagine your grooming routine and free yourself from the shame of the consumption cycle.
And it’s…
SELF-SHARPENING – no need to buy replacement blades.
SELF-CONTAINED – no need for lotions and potions, hang on a carabiner, take literally anywhere.
FLIGHT SAFE – mowers can be taken as hand luggage to travel light.
EASY – Simply roll around your face.
ECONOMICAL – No more purchases. No replacement parts. No shaving foam. No after-shave. No blunted trimmers. No charging.
ONE-TIME PURCHASE – no trips to the shops, no single-use plastics, zero-waste, zero-disposals.
Technical information:
- The mowers progressively trim hair down to grade ‘0’ (3-1mm) – the more you mow the shorter the trim.
- Mowers have 10 surgical stainless steel blades which run and sharpen against a marine grade stainless steel inner. The outer blades have an overhanging comb.
- Mowers need nothing else to work, ever.
- Simply knock out or flush under water to clean.
- Mowers work in all directions, so you might lift hair on way, cut another.
- Adjust comb overhang for cutting length adjustment to suit mowing direction or style.
- Mowers are safe as they cut hair away from the skin.
- Mowers have barrel blades so can be in contact with all parts of the face easily.
- No single-use plastics.
- All packaging is biodegradable.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR THIS CAMPAIGN
The metro now has:
- A completely plastic-free construction, removing the inner’s anti-spin O ring and replacing with an interlocking hair capture core.
- A comb with an overhang that can be adjusted to make cutting length adjustments.
The massi now has:
- A new home handle which is wider, and dumbbell shaped – for a robust, comfortable and satisfying grip.
- An improved travel handle with a turning grip for easy removal and an anti-vibration washer to prevent it unscrewing during walking, when your mower is hanging on a carabiner.
- A new tripartite assembly locking structure that allows easy and repeat dismantling for length adjustments, reducing all plastics used to a single rubber O ring to hold the inner from spinning.
- A comb with an overhang that can be adjusted to make cutting length adjustments.

MANMOWER project to date:
“It’s just not easy innovating a manual way to maintain facial hair, which has fundamentally been the same since Roman times. Kickstarter has been absolutely invaluable in giving us the space to do this, as from the start we have been entirely funded by our supporters, with no external funding.
Here is our journey so far, as our Kickstarter journey is now coming to an end, and we would like to say thank you.”
