retrim

Shorten a second time

To retrim is to trim again—applying a fresh edge, border, or finishing touch to something previously trimmed.

The word appears most often in contexts involving hair, hedges, or decorative elements: The upholsterer will retrim the seats in leather, I need to retrim my beard after the barber missed a spot.
