Buy Beard & Mustache Trimmer

I really paid for this trimmer. Looks a bit ridiculous as Philips seems to be giving these things away like there's no tomorrow judging by the sponsored comments. But rest assured, I really bought it and I don't owe the manufacturer anything. So this is a good trimmer. When I shopped here my main focus was on the maintenance of the unit and the versatility of the unit without an army of additional attachments. I myself trim my beard with a few different settings: longer on the face, closer to the mustache, no guard to shape. And this thing works fine. The defense looks pretty solid like they won't give up or break anytime soon. The unit doesn't seem overly needy or anything, although each trimmer's manual essentially recommends that you have a full spa treatment and dine at The Palm before and after each use. Very fast charging, one hour turns green which is (probably) enough for two hours of use although I haven't tested this yet. If all of this turns out to be true (and it got a full charge within an hour), I don't think you can get any better in terms of charging and usage. In any case, the dial that adjusts the protection is fine, in terms of innovation, of course, nothing to worry about. Just a little trick. I think more than anything, this thing's motor just pukes to make you feel like you're getting a good haircut. It's just a good piece of equipment, maybe a bit heavy for $40, but to be honest you don't have to buy trimmers very often in my experience. Would you regret spending $40 on a device that directly affects the way you look and likely won't need to be replaced within the next five years? I personally doubt it. I think it has some value in the long run. I have no problem trimming corners or saving on many other things, but why a beard trimmer? It just seems short-sighted if you use this thing at least a few times a month and on your face. Well, the last thing I really like about this thing is the lack of jets. It's just a trimmer with a 20 setting head/comb, a mini brush for cleaning, a power cord and a small pouch for when you want to use it. I think this is a great tweak, especially when you're on the go. Nobody wants to pack their bags like they're going to a hairdressing convention.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Not Bad
