I've been looking for this too! I've made the switch to all USB electronics. I haven't found exactly a USB trimmer, but I have found a workaround. I ordered this Wahl Trimmer. It takes one AA battery, and it's very compact and lightweight. It trims reasonably well also, although it does take a little longer to get a neat trim. I will say it doesn't feel super sturdy, but it has held up well for about a year now with regular, weekly use. I did have to open it up once and adjust the motor when I dropped it in the sink by accident, but that was easy to do.
So that has worked as a pretty nice travel trimmer for me. Of course it isn't USB, but I found these EcoCell USB AA Batteries. They're just AA batteries that have a USB plug, so you can recharge them on a regular USB charger. Since the trimmer only takes one battery at a time, it's easy to keep a charged one in my bag and use the trimmer until the battery dies. Then I put in the new battery and charge the previous one so it's ready for later.
The setup has worked very well for me. And it's actually even better in a way, because I've noticed that these batteries give a more consistent power output. They don't make the motor slowly run out before dying, they seem to work at basically full power and then stop suddenly.
I think I found the same trimmer on Amazon UK here. I imagine you could try this with any trimmer that takes AA batteries though if you prefer a more robust model. I just liked how lightweight this one is. I'm not sure about getting the USB batteries in the UK though... Maybe you could try something like these?
this travel sized Wahl is what i use. Nice and small. It doesn't work well with half used batteries, but I have some rechargeable Ikea AAs, and usually use it after full charge. I figure when i travel i'll just get new batteries wherever i happen to be. I just use it to trim down a bit, definitely not for a close shave.
At the risk of sounding like Wahl marketing, i also have their nose hair trimmer which is also really small and has a pretty solid metal body.
Both together take up very little space.
I found these two from Wahl, but I can't understand if they are the same product or different. They looks different, but same name:
Wahl Pocket 01
Wahl Pocket 02
