Spec me a MAN's beard trimmer

Banzai_Joe · 12 Jan 2015 at 11:03

Ok, not one of the things that youngsters trim bum fluff with.
I want a proper misters beard trimmer to keep one at about 7-10mm.
No ponsey 'shaping' will be going on here thank you very much, just something to stop me looking like a street bum

Go!

Edit: Or as a helpful reply, the Remington Barba is a cheap and cheerful workhorse trimmer.

This is clearly a mustard success story.

Had one of these for a few years and they're spot on.

I actually got fed up of using that one, too easy to knock the setting down by mistake and the battery / charging system died too. It was noisy and often pulled hairs out rather than cutting them, that and the settings bear no relevance to length either.

I bought this to replace it and prefer to use them but they are clippers really rather than a trimmer. The setting adjustment is similarly poor really, easy to knock it up/down a peg but they are all based on mm which is nice. Works well enough to keep beards under control as well as being able to lop your mop off too if you so wish.

I bought one of these last year and am very happy with it. Wahl Groomsman Pro 3-in-1 Grooming Station, better not link as they may well be construed as a competitor.

MEN don't trim beards.

Let it grow, let it grow - you can't trim it back anymoreeeeee.

My Wahl has lasted me over a decade.

Banzai_Joe · 12 Jan 2015 at 11:42

I had a wahl and it was garbage. Only used it a few times before it died and wouldn't work without being plugged into the mains.

Another vote for the barba, I have had mine a few months and it is good.

Real men use a knife

Banzai_Joe · 12 Jan 2015 at 11:59

Ok, so like a muppet my existing USB charged clippers (which have been great btw) i threw away all the attachments as i shave my noggin with zero setting.
But i chucked the bits before i grew this face rug :rolleyes:

So maybe an all-in-one grooming set to do both would be better.
So.....again....go!

I use this for my face.

And this for my head.

No seriously, you don't need a beard trimmer if you wan't to keep your beard in good nick. Just use a healthy dose of mustard all over your beard, leave it for about 5 minutes and it will look perfect.
