Make grooming easy: The 8 best beard trimmers to get the job done

Create the perfect look with these excellent beard trimmers

If you want to be the envy of facial hair enthusiasts everywhere, growing a beard is only half the battle. Once your facial hair goes beyond a certain length, it starts to get messy, and even the best beard-styling products will only get you so far before it’s time to bring out a good power tool (and we do love power tools.) Enter the beard trimmer. Using a good trimmer on the regular may be what some men need to keep their facial beasts under control. Depending on how fast their hair grows, others may want to use one between visits to a barber, maintaining style daily. If you are trying to develop a longer beard, you still need to trim the ends to ensure you keep the hairs strong and healthy, and it will even help them grow faster in some instances.

Either way, there is a wide range of options, from value-priced to expensive, from simple solutions to those with significant horsepower. Most include comb attachments to cut hairs to specific lengths, allowing for elaborate shaping and styling. Cordless models offer convenience with as much power as you should need. Below are some of our picks for the best beard trimmers on the market.

Beard Club PT45 Beard and Hair Trimmer

Designed for beards by beards, this trimmer offers the ultimate precision beard management with up to 45 unique lengths. Eight color-coded guide combs set the standard, with fine tuning available from five-blade settings on the razor itself: an easy barrel twist locks your choice into place. This mane manager offers three hours of run time per charge, a digital power indicator, and a powerful 7,000 RPM motor. A minimalistic charging stand with an LED display complements the clean, modern design. If you want a really cool and maybe unintended feature, the stand's under light is just bright enough to serve as a bathroom nightlight.

Schick Hydro 5 Beard Groomer

Most times in life, it’s best to follow the KISS principle: Keep It Simple Stupid. This Schick Groomer is a classic example of a simple, straightforward design. One end features a five-blade razor with seven “gel pools” to keep skin hydrated throughout each shave; it’s the same cartridge razor you’d use for a “regular” shave, anyway. It also features a flip trimmer to get to hard-to-reach places and a guard bar to help stretch your skin and even out beard hairs for an even cut. Flip this razor around, and you’ll find a battery-powered trimmer that adjusts to three lengths for carefully sculpting and shaping your beard. $12 is a small price to pay for the best beard in the room. Grooming doesn't have to be complicated, and this trimmer proves it.

Meridian The Trimmer

OK, we know we’re supposed to be talking about beards here. Still, occasionally, a “beard” on another part of our bodies can get just a bit out of control, especially if we’ve been staying cooped up all winter and getting a bit lax in the manscaping department. It’s time to start putting the focus on summer and wearing no — um — fewer clothes.

Meridien’s Trimmer is entirely waterproof and can handle coarse, curly hairs without tugs or pulls, so say goodbye to a mess in the bathroom and do the manscaping in the shower. It features rust-resistant, hygienic, replaceable ceramic blade modules and extra-sensitive technology. Be sure to check out Meridian’s pH-balanced The Spray to fight odor and skin irritation.

Beards are a great sense of personal style so long as you keep up with the regular maintenance of it. If you have had one for a while you’re probably well-acquainted with the tools of the trade, from nourishing beard conditioners to beard balms and beard oils. If you sport longer facial hair, or if your whiskers are growing longer than you anticipated, there’s another essential tool you need in your grooming arsenal: a high-quality beard brush.

The best beard brushes can help you in multiple ways from taming lengthy beards, reducing irritation and beard itch, and adding a bit more style and polish to unruly facial hair. While high-quality beard combs are helpful in their own right, longer beards require a brush. The ideal beard brush features a wooden base or handle with bristles crafted from the finest materials like boar hair, as you need dense bristle materials to work through disheveled facial hair, all the better to slowly but surely soften your beard as you brush.
