What is a Quality Beard Trimmer? - What to Look for When Buying a Trimmer?
A quality beard trimmer is one which satisfies all your facial hair grooming needs, and then some. When looking for the best beard trimmer, make sure that it checks all the boxes on your list.
You don’t have a list? Well, here is a beard trimmer buying guide I’ve made to help you.
Your Facial Hair Type
Look for a beard trimmer that is specially built to tackle the kind of facial hair you have. You will find trimmers that work exceptionally well for fine facial hair, but may get you in a tangle when grooming a thick, bushy beard.
Powerful Trimmer
Look for a beard trimmer that is powerful enough to make its way through thick and thin.
A beard trimmer capable of generating higher levels of torque will make the cutting process quick and feel like a breeze.
Dry / Wet Trimmer
Look for a beard trimmer that is versatile. An ideal beard trimmer should offer you the option of both dry and wet shaving. Also, it helps if your trimmer has different length settings to choose from while trimming.
Battery Life
Look for a beard trimmer that has a long battery life. You do not want to be plugging in your trimmer before every shave, if you are planning to take your beard trimmer with you on a trip or even if you’re only using it at home.
Price
Look for a beard trimmer that fits your budget. The current beard trimmer market is saturated enough to boast models from a multitude of brands that suit every budget need.
However, purchasing a trimmer that fits your budget is not enough—look for a beard trimmer that offers you the best value for money in its price range.
