Beard Trimmers

[Gary~]

For the last 30 years I've only ever used a small pair of scissors -- very sharp first aid scissors. A pair lasts about 20 years.

Interesting to see an old thread like this resurrected!  Have to weigh in!

I have been through several trimmers, for both hair and beard trimming. I think I have found the best consumer model available:

WAHL 17-Piece Lithium Ion All-In-One Trimmer

It stays charged forever and is precise enough to do some great detail trimming (which I do on my goatee area and my neckline.  Hope it helps!

Depends on how thick your beard is !  Do you want stubble and how much ?  Do you want to cut off split ends ?  Scissor's !  Do it your self and be happy take your time , shower , shampoo , and condition then trim.  Had one for years.   Good Luck !   If you want stubble , then Wahl, or Oyster Professional with guards !    Will set you back , but money invested.

I'm looking for an easy trimmer that leaves me look like I haven't shaved for about 2 weeks. I've bought a couple for the "stubble look" but they shaved way too close. Im uk based.

Just recently got the Remington Contour MB4030. I really like it . The cut is good and it has various Length-Settings:1.5-18 mm (9 steps), 0.5-5.5 mm. The Length-Settings should be fine for some longer stubble as well. It's also available in the UK.

I actually have an 18mm one. Does it way too short for me. Kinda want to have a beard basically where I can just shave it like normal but it keeps it long. Ive googled around but I keep seeing stubble look info. I kinda just want to tidy it up. Thanks for the advice.

Here ya go, Never used it, don't trim my beard at the moment, when I do I use scissors. but this is the biggest trimmer guard I could find, by luck it is a UK site!

Was also interested in the Philips Shaver. I like the fact it's Waterproofed and  a least it goes up to 32mm. 
And that's the thing about the Beardtrimmer, most of them won't go high up in Length. I had some Hairclippers that went up to 40, which i used for the beard. But the comb of these things are to wide. Had always issues to trim the mustache using that thing.

It's a lot harder and takes a lot more work to stuff things up with scissors. I suggest scissors or follow Beardman's example and leave it grow as long as it wants to. If you look at my avatar today you can see that I don't worry about it too much - you can just let it get a bit ragged. Really, no one cares what my face or skull looks like including me -- what a great feeling.

And probably no one cares what you look like either so why should you bother yourself caring about how you look?
