Remington B5 Style Series Cordless Beard and Stubble Trimmer for Men with Adjustable Zoom Wheel and Titanium Coated Blades - MB5000, Black/Dark Chrome

Product Information

Features: Adjustable Speed, Wet/Dry, Non-Slip Grip, Waterproof, Travel Size, Low Battery Indicator, Cordless, Self-Sharpening, Rechargeable, Washable The dual-sided blade is designed to cut more precisely than a comb and we find they last about 6 weeks to 3 months before needing to be replaced.That's somewhat less than Philips' claim of 4 months, but the replacement heads aren't especially pricey or hard to find.

We found the battery life is excellent too, and the 'power sensor adaptor' automatically adjusts the speed of the motor depending on how hard it works, allowing it to plough through longer sections without getting bogged down like cheaper trimmers we've tried. Most trimmers can be used for body hair and the hair on the top of your head too, but if you want anything other than a skinhead, you'll again want a trimmer that's capable of longer length settings.

I used to carpool for work, and one of my colleagues would always jump in the passenger seat and immediately fire up his electric shaver - something I wasn't happy about until I realised he was leaving his DNA everywhere and framed him for a series of murders.If only he’d bought the Philips, which has an integrated vacuum system to catch most of the facial fallout. It promises to catch 90% of your cuttings (albeit in lab conditions), so that should mean less cleaning up after each cut. With over five years’ experience in beauty and health journalism, Florence has written for ELLE, Women’s Fitness, Sister Magazine, National Geographic Traveller and many more, with a strong sustainability angle thread through much of her work. The Durable is capable of a closer shave than many of the trimmers on this list, it's lightweight, and you never need to replace the blades. Effortlessly control the adjustable comb using the Intuitive Zoom Wheel to select the right hair length. With trimming lengths between 0.4mm and 18mm, achieve anything from that 3-day stubble look, to a well-maintained full beard.

The battery runs for 90 minutes on a one-hour charge and it can handle beards up to 10mm via its adjustable comb head. We'd say it is suited to shorter trims on the whole – it's most ideal for those who favour neither beards nor a smooth visage: it does perma-stubble brilliantly. Why is it so difficult to get used to? As you can see from the image, you don't hold it like a traditional trimmer, as the cutting blades are in-line, rather than perpendicular, to the handle. This results in a lot more visibility while trimming, making it easier to create clean edges to your stubble. This is also aided by the long and sharp cutting blades. Whether you’re buying for yourself or the man in your life, there are a few general things to keep in mind when on the lookout for a beard trimmer or hair clipper. When considering a beard trimmer there are several things to consider. The first one is length: some trimmers are only suitable for short beards, while others come with a range of heads or guards that can be used for bushy beards. Instead, I found myself removing the comb entirely to get a nice, even clean shave but totally understand this won't be to everyone’s tastes. Weirdly, the comb works at its most efficient in the mid-range, at around 8-10mm, otherwise, it’s a case of going over the same area quite a few times to get a nice even result. The plastic/rubber coated jog wheel is very easy to use, though, even with wet hands.

Similar to the Remington B5, it works on a precision dial system with 0.5mm increments. This, along with the short and long beard guide combs included give you a total arsenal of 39 different lengths. Watch out for consumables – while many trimmers have self-sharpening blades that last forever, some need oiling, and some even require regular replacement. x Beard Trimmer; 1 x Adjustable Comb; 1 x Cleaning Brush; 1 x Charging Adaptor; 1 x Instruction Booklet; 1 x Guarantee Booklet When shopping for a beard trimmer there are several things to consider.
