For the sharpest look, regional barber manager at Fellow BarberRaquel Fajardo suggests first trimming your hair down with an at-home device like the Wahl Peanutor the Bevel pick on this list. If desired, the device can also be zero-gapped, which means its teeth can be aligned to deliver the closest, sharpest cut possible (this is best avoided with sensitive skin, however).

Then, apply small oil droplets directly to one side of the blade before running the motor for three to five seconds and repeating the process on the other side.
