Microtouch Switchblade is a 2-in-1 trimmer which puts head-to-toe trimming in the palm of your hand. But does it actually work? Here is our MicroTouch Switchblade review along with important product information.
MicroTouch Switchblade
This product is advertised as a one-stop product for many hair concerns, from body hair trimming to comb-through haircuts. The product is said to be a solution for all types of body and facial hair removal.
The name “switchblade” refers to its “2 in 1” feature in which you slide a cover to alternate between a mini trimmer for such things as nose hair, and the other end of the product which is a “full-size trimmer” which can groom larger areas. Both the mini and full-sized trimmers come with snap-on attachments designed at greater precision.
So does the MicroTouch Switchblade work? Reviewers here and online give it mixed reviews. The product has a flimsy, cheap feel to it, but when it works, it actually works pretty well. You may encounter issues with the cutter getting stuck or clogged. Some have also complained about the motor completely falling out. We didn’t experience this.
There are other trimmers that hold up better for the price, but if you insist on getting one, head to a local store and avoid those pesky shipping fees.

Television Commercial
- This is a television commercial for Microtouch Switchblade, before Brett Favre became the celebrity spokesman.
Brett Favre
Sometime in 2014, NFL great Brett Favre became a spokesman for several Micro Touch products such as Micro Touch Max and Micro Touch Switchblade. If you notice in the television commercial, he only says “Micro Touch” and does not specify the product. His endorsement appears in commercials for both Micro Touch products.
Micro Touch Switchblade vs Micro Touch Max
A valid question to raise is what the difference is between Micro Touch Switchblade and Micro Touch Max. Both are advertised as personal trimmers, and both have similar designs. The Switchblade, however, has two trimmers included, while the Max only has one. So it would probably be safe to say that Micro Touch Max is almost the same as Micro Touch Switchblade, but without the second trimmer. The Switchblade is also more expensive.
