Beard trimmer

#1

I need your help, stubbled friends.

I had a really good beard trimmer. Then just recently, it started to hurt because it was pulling the hairs rather than cutting. So I bought a new one, and it hurts even more, but it was quite cheap.

So I need a new one. Any suggestions?

Having searched around, I’m thinking about either this one

Or this one

Can anyone vouch for either of these, or something else? Cheers.

I have one of these. Was a little sceptical, but the vacuum thing does genuinely work.

EDIT cheaper version here

Is that vacuum in that it sucks up the hairs rather than litters them in the sink?

#4

Yep! No muss, no fuss

#5

Wow! I wonder if they do one of those for closer shaves

#6

Reading the reviews, apparently it kind of works, but you still need to clean up after.

Although they also say it’s a very good trimmer, so I am considering it.

I honestly haven’t found that, possibly because I have a weaker beard (unlikely, tbqfh). Imagine I have added the following review:

So far, no need to clean up after! 4.5 stars

I too need one, one that goes right down to 0.5 stubble, any recommendations?

#11

Hmm yeah I definitely need one of these vacuum ones, insane how far my current one shoots hair whenever I trim my beard - might give this a go

#12

If I was going to buy a proper replacement one I’d get a Wahl, they’re solid. Currently rocking a set of Asda plug-in hair trimmers which I use to do my beard and my hair, they were a tenner I think, solid enough.

Have you tried moisturiser

#14

I have! Recently started doing it regularly as I was told it would help, and even bought ‘stubble moisturiser’ to soften the hair. I think it made it worse.

I’ve had such mixed experiences. My old one was Phillips and it was great, think it just got old. Bought a Braun one that was absolute shite. New one was Babyliss - also shite.

I’ve plumped for the Beardscape one in my OP. Will report back. Hoping the ceramic blade is all it’s cracked up to be.

And no, I can’t really afford it. But if it means I can actually bear to trim without total agony, it’s worth it.

#18

Pretty happy with oneblade.

Had the vaccum one too, but only catches about half the hair so I end up trimming in the shower anyway.

#19

Where does it suck the hair to???

Comes out your bum.
