What's the best beard and mustache trimmer that you have used?
« on: September 05, 2013, 06:10:49 PM »
Since I started Sly Bald Guys in 2006 I have had the same Conair GMT10CS Beard and Mustache Trimmer.  I like it because it's cordless and rechargeable and it came with 5 different combs to trim my beard at different lengths.  What I didn't like about it was that it didn't travel very well because you had to take the base with you to charge it. 

Here's a link to the trimmer - http://amzn.to/153byGC

Since I've owned the trimmer for so long the battery is about dead and it's time to start looking for a new beard and mustache trimmer.  What trimmer are you using today?  Would you recommend it?  If so, why?

For my mustache and goat, I use an old Wahl that I've had forever.  I have to charge it and then leave it plugged in to get it to cut.  Time for me to get a new one as well.  I've got it in an old HB Travel kit that they don't sell any more.

When I go full Santa Claus, I just use my ConAir hair trimmers.  That works really well with the exception of the mustache.  Blade's too wide.

I like the simple Wahl that uses disposable batteries.  Never had good success with those that are rechargeable.  The batteries stop holding a charge long before the trimmer wears out.

I have only had a moustache for just over a year.  I simply use a small pair of barbers scissors.

I was surprised to like the Wahl 9854L.  It has a lithium ion battery that holds up well and holds its charge very well.  It also cuts well and has a lot of attachments.  I've probably had it about 2 years.  I would buy it again.  I think they go for about $30ish.

I have been using Norelco Triimmers for as long as I can remember.  Currently on my send Norelco QT4070.  The first one I had lasted me 5+ years and I even used it to buzz my head.
