I’ve had beards since before they were cool, I’ve tried most brands, and this does seem to do the trick. We respect and adhere to trademark holders’ rights in accordance with United Kingdom Trade Mark Law. Granted, the quality of the main body isn’t massively impressive and some of the included shaving attachments feel like gimmicks, but stick with the main blades and the two plastic guards and you can achieve some great results, both on the face and, if you know what you are doing, on top the head too.

Because the Braun beard trimmer 5 series is washable, you just need to place the head in water to remove hair.Long beards, contour edging, precision trimming, creating neat stubble and achieving a full-on clean shave… you name it, the Braun Beard Trimmer 7 can do it. The box also contains a precision trimming head for creating ultra-sharp lines, a more traditional close-shave foil head and a gratis Gillette Fusion 5 ProGlide razor, should you get bored of the trimmer and decide to wet shave yourself to porpoise-like levels of smoothness. I found the precision shaving head annoyingly small for a full face shave and the foil attachment is only really good for achieving clean lines in longer beards. It would be slightly improved if said wheel was a little longer, as I found it a little difficult to turn with just one hand, but it’s only a minor niggle.

The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed. The problem I usually find is the head cutter slows down or isn’t powerful enough to give a consistent cut, but this seems as powerful in the cut as a corded one.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. The blades are sharp and feel like they will survive a good deal of trimming before blunting, while a lack of oil in the box suggests you don’t have to oil them after cleaning.
