Electric razors / beard trimmers

[Alex79]

I've been using a set of hair clippers I've owned since I was 17 to shave for the last 24 years, and they've finally broken (halfway through cutting one of the kids hair, oops!)

So I'm in the market for some new ones. I don't really need hair clippers since I don't cut my hair, so just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for reasonably price electric beard trimmers?

Thanks!

I've heard really good things about the Phillips one blade - about £30 - £40 on amazon

Cheers mate, I'll have a look

I tend to have pretty thick whiskers and beards, moustaches, muttons, the lot.

I love a set of whiskers.

Over the years I've had expensive and cheap beard trimmers.

What do you need it to do ??


I find the £12 Wahl (AA battery) trimmers do the lot for me (I currently on my 2nd set of these and they are about 5/6 years old now).

I find them ideal for full beard maintenance, cutting in, shaving close and trimming, for a pretty affordable price.

I've never used any of the attachments though, just the exposed blades.

I have complete confidence in them, it's only my own shortcomings that fail my face.

The Phillips one-blade is good if you’re aiming for a manly stubble look, it’s not the best for a clean shave (and not designed for that).

I laughed a lot harder at this than I should have.

On topic, nothing will ever beat the precision and comfort of a double-edge safety razor for me. No half-measures. If I'm shaving, I'm shaving.

Oh I'm absolutely not after a clean shave. If I ever do that I'd always use my clippers on a zero grade then use a traditional razor. Actually Suits they sound perfect, thanks!

I've had a short beard for the last 5 or so years and i've used a lot of crap £30 beard trimmers in that time (Philips and Babyliss ones).

I recently decided to invest in a Panasonic one and you definitely get what you pay for. It's cut my trimming time in half!

I have always been satisfied with Philips products. They usually last for a while and are pretty performant

That is a fine moustache if I have ever seen one! Magnificent!

My recommendation for a shaver would be:

This has done me a very fine service so far. I have had terrible trouble over the years with shavers, most of them barely cut the hair.
