Why should I do it?

Firstly, the candle flame will be much brighter and more beautiful. If you do not trim the wick, the flame is likely to take a strange mushroom-shaped, due to which it will look dull and blurry.

Secondly, the wick is too long - it is the main reason for the most disgusting stains of soot, which are clearly visible on the glass holder. Shortening the wick will keep the flames under control and not let these spots appear.
