I just used a pet groomer with a vacuum to trim my beard. Worked great, no messy hair everywhere. Will continue doing it.

What things do you do?

use one of those percussive massage guns to empty out the last of almost anything. things like ketchup, hair conditioner, lotion, are all really hard to use 100% of so i just use the massage gun to get the last bits out.

I like this one. A lot easier than my solution. I usually use the centrifugal force to empty them. Just using my arm at full length in a rotating movement vertically.

I stopped doing that after I lost my grip on a ketchup bottle and it flew into a wall. Ketchup everywhere.

I've also used them to mix up containers of stuff. Nail polish, acrylic paint, and caked up onion/garlic powder.
