Beard Trimmers...I give up. What do you use?

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I use a blade to for most of the real estate, but I use an electric trimmer to shape.

Problem is, I have never been pleased with my precise trimmers...I feel they leave a lot more stubble than advertised.

I want something to give me clean cut lines.

What do you use? How do you like it?

[dlphg9]

Im not sure what youre wanting. Electric shaved that doesn't leave stubble or something to trim the goatee?

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Both. The Patrick Lavon Mahomes II of trimmers.

I have these Wahl Peanut works fine for me.

These Andis are pro barber trimmers and very precise. Dont cut an ear off because they can.

Honestly to do a beard right you need a set of quality clippers and trimmers.

I use a wähl haircut kit. They're super inexpensive and last forever.

I have just a mustache since 1971 when I was in Korea. No beard now, but I did have one for about ten years. In fact I've cut my own hair since I've gotten out of the Army in '72, never go to a barber and pay them to screw it up. A salon is nice when a woman is doing your hair, but it's an expense I can do without. I've been using this Remington trimmer for hair and mustache the last ten years or so. It has a slide on the top so you change the guard length in a split second. I paid about $25 at Walmart.

any suggestions on a good waterproof one? i like to do my shaving in the shower

[cdcox]

I keep a clean face so I can only address half of your problem: use a blade and a good shave cream. I have never been able to get a decent shave with an electric. You probably need two good tools to do two very different jobs.

You want to trim your beard in the Shower? I have heard of shaving in the shower. I don't think I would want to shape a wet beard.

I think that may be his problem. Trimming the beard in the shower is a huge no no. Water weighs down the beard and lengthens the beard making it an uneven length.

I got a nice Wahl trimmer with multiple guards, beard comb, etc. for under $20 at TJ Max.

yea i should have clarified, i don’t want to trim just shave.

Ask Aaron Rodgers, he just successfully cut off a 98 pound beard.

Wahl trimmer. Cheap, nothing fancy. Detachable head types. Does the job.

But i do have a couple of beard oils, a beard cream and a brush specific for the beard.

My Billy Jealousy Devil's Delight Beard Oil costs more than my trimmer does.

[chinaski]

I believe I have a Norelco, which comes with many attachments. Nose hair trimmer, etc.

It also comes with a different blade and guard set for doing body hair, like your junk and balls and such.

It's a nice unit. :thumb:

I got to test out multiple Braun beard trimmers recently as part of a review team. One was $250, not worth it at all. I really don't even use them. I like to trim my beard with my normal clippers, then shave the neck and under chin area with a razor. These $80+ things are just not worth it in my opinion.

Get a good barber.
My beard grows in super thick, I SHOULD get it trimmed up every couple of weeks but I go every other month and get it real tight on the sides and get the length just shorter than I like it.
By the time I can get back (my place is booked solid constantly) it's ready to get a full work up.
I use strictly Smell Like A Viking oils and Balms.
I shave a good line on with a regular Harry's razor. I've learned where to shave my neck to and keep it clean.

I think if we need Rasputin to chime in here. That dude has a impressive beard.
