Beard trimmers.

[Louis Balfour]

When I first grew a beard eighteen months ago I bought a cheap Phillips trimmer. It's OK but can give my beard "strimmer chic".

My children tell me that my sagging neck demands that I keep a beard permanently, or consider a facelift. So I am prepared to buy a better trimmer.

Any recommendations please?

It depends what sort of length you’ll keep it at, but I’ve found wahl hair trimmers much better than the adjustable type beard trimmer.

This sort of affair?

I have had several beard trimmers, they are all varying degrees of crap. I just standard clippers now, it's also mildly entertaining to have your hair and beard the same length

I started off trimming my beard short using hair cutters, beard is now long so just cut the sides with hair cutters.

Hair clippers.


I have some cheap wahl ones, that run off AA batteries. Less hassle than corded or rechargeables and I'm only on the second set in nearly ten years. Weekly grade 4 beard trim, usually in the garden so no mess to sweep up!

I didn't know whether to believe the YouTube Beardbrand hype but can't fault it. And I've had many trimmers. Mrs J even used it to cut my hair during lock down.

Yup, that’d do it. You can normally pick up plug in ones for £15-£20 from tkmaxx. I’ll go chargeable next time though, it’s a faff to keep getting an extension lead to the bathroom

I use a Philips, 7000 series that has a built in vacuum.

The vacuum isn't terribly effective, but I like the trimmer. No faffing about with oil is required!

I also use a Philips One Blade which I find pretty useful - does work as a beard trimmer with the comb attached, good for trimming the edges and decent for a quick shave on the rest of my face when I can't be bothered to wet shave.

I have the Philips 7000 12 in 1 which suits me just well. Had it just under a year now with no issues.

Would say a beard bib is also a necessity...

Those are alright, apart from you cannot trim your ‘tache, as the combs hit your nose...

I have Philips Norelco and it is great especially for me because I have long beard and this is great one. Check out its review here
