With the men’s grooming market exploding to the tune of $23m in 2020, things are very much on the up for the best beard trimmers around. But, beard trimmers are like pets, phones and childhood sweethearts: your first one probably wasn’t a keeper. You need to find the right one and, thankfully, there’s plenty of choice now. Even the most cost-effective trimmer can come with a swell of peripherals for managing errant sproutings all over your body.
As much as buying a decent beard trimmer is now a foolproof process, buying the best available remains more of a challenge. Getting an even shave isn’t guaranteed, build quality can be variable and there are little things like waterproofing and fast charging that can make a big difference. Especially when you’re in a rush and need to scrub up fast.
That’s why We has surveyed the market to find the most trustworthy option. We tested trimmers from the likes of Braun, Philips and Babyliss to find a trimmer worthy of all occasions. It had to feel good in the hand and be able to squeeze into your carry-on. Be able to survive a trip in the shower and not run flat on battery when you need it most. Most importantly, it had to deliver a quality trim for all schools of facial hair. And if it can do the same for down under that’s a bonus too.
