This trimmer is perfect for trimming your wicks in between burns. During the burn of a candle, carbon builds up on the wick. If you continue to light the wicks without trimming, the flames will get bigger, produce more soot and burn hotter/faster. This is why it is essential to trim your candle wicks to 1/8"-1/4" beforeeachburn.
(So basically, to get the BEST performing candle, make sure you have a wick trimmer!)
