Beard trimmer recommendation

MooShop

Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone can recommend a good electric beard trimmer for shaping a beard.

Trying to grow a fuller beard but want to keep it nicely shaped rather than a wild look.

I have a BaByliss one but it's packed in, charge won't hold and when I use it plugged in it's just not cutting well, like the power is gone from it.

It was only cheap enough so not too bothered but would like to invest in a better one that will last and have better attachments as I found the ones that came with my current one aren't great.

Don't have a strict budget, don't really know what I should be looking for so any advice would be appreciated.

I've had this Remington for years and it's been good at holding a charge. I had the same problem with cheap rechargeable batteries in Philips and other brands before.

If you're trying to grow it out a few inches however you will want to get some scissors. Don't need to spend a fortune, something like this from eBay will do.

I've had that same Remington for years and it's still going strong. It's the only one I've ever had in fact.

Remington with the depth wheel usb rechargable so you can charge it anywhere hold a decent charge
USB charging a massive plus as you don't have to keep the charger handy

There's an old saying that you can't cut your way to a fuller beard. A lot of guys now are doing a "yeard." Just let it grow for one full year, assess what you've got, then shape and style. I don't know if that's good, I'll let you know in 5 more months.

Great, thanks. Think I'll go for that one!

Yeah I won't be going mad trimming it, though I think it will be good to trim the ends every 2-3 months. I've seen that mentioned on videos on youtube about growing beards, let it go and then shape after X amount of time.
