The specialized beard trimmer Braun BT-3020 is made in a discreet design, has an ergonomic body that is light and fits comfortably in your hand. The model is the younger brother of the typewriter Braun Series 3 BT3042 , which has a charge level indicator on the body and an additional nozzle for a length of 10 mm or more in the kit.
Braun BT-3020 is equipped with durable stainless steel blades. According to the manufacturer, they have an unlimited service life.
On the body of the trimmer is a round washer to adjust the length of the beard. So, the only nozzle provides high cutting accuracy (0.5 mm pitch) and an acceptable range of bristle size selection from 1 to 10 mm. By removing the comb, you can create the effect of a slight unshaven (leaving a stubble of about 0.5 mm), trim the whiskey and/or mustache, in fact, abandoning the use of a conventional razor.
The removable shaving head of the trimmer can be cleaned under running water, and a special brush in the kit will help with dry cleaning of the body.
Braun BT-3020 works only from the battery. It takes 10 hours to fully charge, and you can use the trimmer autonomously for 40 minutes. However you only have to guess when this time will end, because there is no low charge indicator. You can charge the machine from a 100 or 230 V network, like most modern models.
It is recommended to periodically lubricate the trimmer with light machine oil, which is not included in the delivery. But thanks to a relatively affordable price compared to competitors and the accuracy of haircut length settings, the Braun BT-3020 can be recommended to all fans of a well-groomed beard.
The hair and beard clipper of the successful Dutch brand firmly holds the leading position in sales in the market. The body of the trimmer is attractive and ergonomic, equipped with a removable shaving head that can be washed under water.
The Philips HC-5450/15 is equipped with a double-sharpened cutting block with DualCut technology. The blades have a titanium coating and lightly touch each other during operation, which ensures their self-sharpening. The device does not require lubrication. Also on the trimmer there is a turbo mode button, which helps with the removal of thick and coarse hair.
The model can be used standalone or offline. The time to fully charge the battery is 1 hour, and battery life reaches 90 minutes. There is an LED indicator at the bottom of the machine body. He will tell you when it's time to charge the device, and also inform you about the status of the charge.
Philips HC-5450/15 is equipped with one nozzle. It has a wide range of hair length adjustment — from 1 to 23 mm in 1 mm increments. This allows you to use the machine not only for modeling a beard, but also for cutting hair. However in the latter case, the main disadvantage of the model is well manifested — the comb is heavily clogged, and it has to be cleaned often. Therefore, the benefit of turbo mode is somewhat lost.
Good battery life makes the Philips HC-5450/15 an excellent choice for those who are used to looking after their appearance, even despite frequent business trips or tourist trips.
Philips beard trimmers compete with barbershops by making it easy and convenient to trim your facial hair at home. And the BT-5200 model in this regard is a good example.
The Philips BT-5200 has automatic self-sharpening of steel blades, which allows them to stay sharp for a long time. According to the manufacturer, the machine does not need lubrication. The trimmer head has a built-in comb that lifts the hairs for an even cut. All this is designed to simplify the process of creating a well-groomed stubble and modeling a beard.
The model has 17 length settings ranging between 0.4 and 10 mm. The shortest bristle has a 0.2mm selection pitch for precise alignment. Further, the correction intervals increase to 0.5, and on large beard sizes — up to 1 mm. Without a comb, you can make edging, as well as get almost clean-shaven skin. However in this case, careful handling is necessary, since, judging by user reviews, it is not difficult to cut yourself with a trimmer without a nozzle.
The model is battery operated or mains powered. The charging time is only an hour, and the period of autonomous functioning is the same. But unlike the typewriter Philips Series 5000 HC5450 there is no low battery indication.
The Philips BT-5200 waterproof case allows you to rinse the device under running water.
In general, with this trimmer, you can successfully care for both 2-4 day stubble and beards of various lengths.
The Panasonic ER-GB60 is a highly accurate and ergonomic trimmer from a successful Japanese brand with two included attachments. The manufacturer's proprietary technologies ensure sharpening of the blades at an angle of 45 degrees and long-term preservation of their sharpness.
The trimmer offers a wide range of adjustment options. On the beard head, the length selection range is from 1 to 10 mm, and on the hair comb, from 11 to 20 mm. The adjustment step is the same — 0.5 mm. The attachments will help you trim or style your beard, even if it is long enough. Without combs, sideburns, mustaches and stubble can be edged, giving them the desired shape.
The trimmer charges quickly (1 hour) and has a long battery life (50 minutes). You can also use the device while charging from the mains. Both the detachable shaving head and the Panasonic ER-GB60 waterproof case itself do not forbid washing under running water.
Together with the machine and a pair of nozzles, the basic package includes a brush for dry cleaning, lubricating fluid (it is recommended to use it after each use of the device), a charger and a storage case for the Panasonic ER-GB60.
According to user reviews, the trimmer is good, first of all, for the care of stubble and beard. The second nozzle (for a length of 11 – 20 mm) confidently cuts only short hair, moreover, it often clogs, and requires several passes for high-quality and even cutting. Otherwise, the Panasonic ER-GB60 is more than a worthy contender for those with beards and short hairstyles.
The American company Remington is an expert in the professional hairdressing equipment market, which increasingly offers equipment for home use. And the 2014 Red Dot Award winning Remington MB-6550 beard trimmer is one of the brand's best home appliances.
The Remington MB-6550 machine is equipped with 8 beard attachments at once. In addition to the universal comb, adjustable from 2 to 16 mm, there is a working tool for the most demanding users. So, four removable guides with a fixed length (3, 6, 9 and 12 mm) are designed to thin out the bristles, ensuring its desired size. A nozzle with a wide trimmer (blade width 32 mm) will help to trim the beard, temples and the back of the head, and with a detailed one (it is narrow and leaves a length of 0.4 mm) to make an edging and give precise contours and shape. A shaving head is designed to complete the care process and remove excess facial hair.
This impressive hairdressing set can be stored in a handy carrying case.
The Remington MB-6550 machine received sharp and durable self-sharpening knives that are coated with a titanium alloy. All nozzles can be washed under running water. The "chip" of the model is the vacuum technology, which will eliminate the problem of cleaning the floor and other surfaces after shaving / trimming the beard. The trimmer body contains a vacuum cleaner that draws freshly cut hairs and places them in a special, easy-to-clean compartment.
The disadvantages of the Remington MB-6550 can be considered the ability to work only from the battery and the fact that it is fully charged in 5 hours (with 60 minutes of battery life). However on the body of the device there is an LED battery indicator, which will add convenience in operation.
