What's everyone using for a beard trimmer?

[amdhunter]

I've had a LOT of them and they all suck. Prices ranged from $10 - $50.

I like the 5AM shadow look, so I want it to get close without having my face looking freshly shaved. (Stubble?)

What's ATOT using?

What Jules said.

But I got a nice Wahl hair clipper kit at Costco for $30, that had an attachment it said was for beards. If I had a beard, I would probably use that.

I just use a regular cheap hair clipper. I trim once every month or two these days ... usually keep it around 1/2 to 1 inch long.

I've gotten board/curious and used my premium hair clippers to try to shave my mustache a few times. Using a 000 (0.5mm?) blade, it doesn't cut anything - mustache too short but not stubble-length short. You'd probably need a 0000 (0.25mm) or 00000 (0.20mm) blade to get stubble length using clippers. For that, you'd need interchangeable metal blades. A 0000 and lower blade usually doesn't come with cheap clippers.

Get an Oster Fast Feed for $60 off Amazon and a 0000 or 00000 blade. Probably about $20 for the blade online. Watch out for razor burn because you're dry-cutting.

Otherwise, there are some cheap Philips "beard groomers" I've never tried.

This is what I use, it works pretty well at getting it down.

Hey...I remember when you went Postal...

Just remember...

I bought a Braun rechargeable with something like seven different attachments. Works very well.

LOL! I still have the game 'Postal' in a box somewhere in my garage.

I have this guy. Works really well. My only complaint is that the plastic guide is flimsy and breaks easily in your suitcase. Replacements are reasonably cheap, though.

I use these: http://www.sallybeauty.com/wahl-clipper/SBS-785005,default,pd.html

But I am looking for a new t-blade trimmer to use instead of a razor for the non-bearded areas.

 

[GobBluth]

I'm actually using the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler. I was surprised at how well it works, and for 15 bucks, cant beat it.

I prefer not to look like a degenerate so I shave.

Wahl. Although I've noticed that no matter how hard I clean it and brush out all the hair, it eventually starts to jam up a bit, then eventually useless. I tend to buy a new one @ $40-50 a pop once a year.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I've had this one for a while.

I used to have a Philips Norelco QT4050 ($39 @ Amazon). I preferred this one because it trimmed more evenly, but I like the digital read out on the length. It just takes quite a few swipes to knock down the thick stubble to get it even.

I need to specify that I got both of those trimmers for $25 or less through promotions from Amazon or Drugstore.com.

 

[xBiffx]

Nicks and cuts tend to bleed a bit though.

 

[Markbnj]

This is what you want: Philips-Norelco QT4070

Edit: Scarpozzi beat me to it. I think the 7300 designation is the new product name. Anyway, it's a great unit.

 

[smackababy]

Philips Norelco QT4014/42 is what I use. The lowest setting works just fine for that designer stubble.

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

as I beard owner I 3rd what Mark and Scarpozzi said. Good unit, sucks up (most of) the hair as you trim it.

 

[wabbitslayer]

I just use a beard that keeps herself up, don't know why you guys are putting so much effort for a pretense nobody believes anyway

 

[Imp]

I shave every other day... It's be every 3 or 4, but my mustache is uneven. So, what's a beard?

 

[MrSquished]

this philips norelco was very highly rated on Amazon so I bought it early this year. very happy with it
