The Durable is capable of a closer shave than many of the trimmers on this list, it's lightweight, and you never need to replace the blades. But, while it does undaboutable offer a closer shave, it's not as good as a traditional electric shaver , and it's not as powerful as other trimmers on this list. That being said, it's an incredibly useful little tool to take away one holidays or when travelling for business, and great for quick touch up jobs, when time is off the essence.
Finding a decent place to charge a beard trimmer in a hotel, on the train or even in the car can be a nightmare, with those special bathroom safety plug sockets often missing from the most essential places.
This Remington number gets around that with a special USB charge cable, allowing you to theoretically plug it into a laptop to squeeze enough juice out of it for a quick shave. A motorised comb cleverly sets the trimmers to up to different length settings, with the ability to set these within 0.
The precision dial on the single comb is arguably the Hatteker's party trick, as it allows for a rapid change in hair length without the faff of continuously changing heads. Aside from that, it's all the usual suspects here: a good array of combs for trimming all sorts of body hair, steel moving and standing blades for a painless shave, a washable body and USB charging for those who travel a lot.
Plus, this doesn't come from one of the fancy big brand names that chuck every conceivable piece of tech at their shavers, so it boasts a very reasonable price tag, too. Duncan has been writing about tech for almost 15 years and fitness ever since he became middle aged and realised he could no longer rely solely on his boyish good looks. He used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know.
Post-lockdown he is looking forward to wearing clothes other than shorts and hoodies again very soon, assuming he can still fit into them.

Also great. Budget pick. Philips Norelco Multigroom Series MG Cheap but effective Surprisingly powerful and versatile for the price, this lighter-weight cordless model includes a variety of accessories, but it needs frequent recharging. Everything we recommend. Why you should trust us. Who this is for. How we picked. In searching for the best beard trimmers, we looked for devices with the following attributes:. A powerful motor: We wanted a tool with enough oomph to cut through the coarsest hair, without pulling and without requiring multiple passes.
A slim, robust design: We like trimmers that are slender in shape but also durable enough to last years without breaking if dropped. Rigid, fixed-length guide combs: Earlier versions of this guide favored trimmers with multiple, fixed-length guide combs, which determine how much beard is left after a pass of the trimmer. Many trimmers, especially inexpensive models, have a single, adjustable-length guide comb. This design is more convenient than having to change combs all the time, but many adjustable guides are flimsy, and most do not offer enough range for thick, long beards.
Still, we did try many trimmers with adjustable guides in our latest round of testing. We liked some, but none ended up being picks. Ability to shave: Any beard trimmer can be used as a shaver by simply removing the guide comb. None can replace an electric shaver or a razor blade for closeness, but some people like the stubble that beard trimmers deliver, and many trimmers do an adequate job of eliminating the stubble at the bottom of a beard, around the neck.
We wanted a tool that could at least approximate a shave, cutting the hair as close as possible without nicking or agitating the skin. We looked for cords that were both long at least 5 feet and flexible for easy maneuvering and storage.
Grooming accessories: The main trimmer is priority number one, but guide combs, additional trimmer heads, shaver heads which turn the beard trimmer into a smaller version of an electric shaver , and nose hair trimmers can make a middling device look more attractive. How we tested. How much hair can each trimmer remove in a single pass?
How many passes does it take to remove all of the hair in the test area? Is it easy to sculpt the beard to the shape you want without worrying about taking too much off? Is the trimmer easy to use in hard-to-reach areas, like under the nose and around the lips? Is it comfortable to use and hold? Could you use the trimmer to approximate a shave in a pinch? How many attachments or beard guides does the trimmer come with, and are the attachments useful?
Are any interchangeable heads easy to swap out? How well do the accessories, such as nose hair trimmers and foil shaver heads, work? Flaws but not dealbreakers.
