Most beard trimmers come with instructions and tips on the best way to trim your beard with that trimmer. Battery life after a five-minute charge varies dramatically. From 10 seconds all the way to over 20 minutes. If you travel a lot, getting one with a great battery will make your routine easier and less stressful. While they essentially do the same job, a hair clipper is designed for cutting long hair and full beards, whereas a trimmer is designed for cutting and styling shorter hair.

What makes this trimmer stand out for us, though, is the floating, flexible head, which allows the trimmer to follow the contours of your face, a bit like how electric shaver heads generally do. This didn’t necessarily speed up the trim by much, but it did make it feel a little more comfortable. And you can call us shallow if you want, but the rose gold detailing really looks the biz too.The trimmer is advertised as “fully waterproof”, so you should have no problems using it in the shower and you can rinse it under running water to clean it. Battery performance is solid too, with Philips promising a full two hours of usage from an hour-long charge. The best beard trimmers are smooth across all parts of the face, getting an even trim after just one pass. Hair/body hair combs Combs that usually cut to a longer length, designed for clipping the hair on your head or other parts of the body. Foil shaver Use if you want a particularly close shave. It uses oscillating blades that sit under a mesh cover.

Cut with the direction of hair growth for longer beards. It removes hair more slowly and helps avoid a patchy look. For shorter beards, you can go with or against the direction of hair growth. All the trimmers we've tested so far have passed our splash and waterproof tests, and they work after the drop test. Ease of use Our testers rate each trimmer for how it trims their facial hair, how smooth and easy to manoeuvre each trimmer is on the moustache, side of their face and on the chin, and if they irritate the skin. All trimmers are noisy, but some are noticeably louder. We find higher-pitched trimmers more irritating to listen to while using them. Some are noisy enough that you cannot hear whether your hair is, or isn't, being cut. Being able to hear this is useful because you can tell if you’ve got all the hair. What's the difference between a hair clipper and a trimmer? We also test the strength and cutting capabilities of each trimmer by cutting dense brush bristles (both soft and tough ones).The SilverCrest SHBS 500 D3 is a beard trimmer designed to provide precision grooming and styling for men.

Cleaning and lubricating your beard trimmer from time to time will help to prevent the blades rusting, and keep it working at its best for longer. Detail or edge trimmer A smaller trimmer head to make finishing touches. You can use it to neaten up beard lines, trim sideburns, a goatee or your moustache.Hair clippers have bigger blades, and trimmers smaller ones to allow them to cut closer to the skin. Use your free hand to make your skin tauter. Place it below the area you're trimming and gently pull your skin away from the trimmer. This provides a steady support and makes it easier to trim looser areas, such as under your jaw and your cheeks. We also use a Cambridge Simulation glove, which allows the wearer to empathise with those who have hand mobility issues such as arthritis, to assess each trimmer.
