ASIN: B00009RF1EModel: Groomsman 9918-6171VCategory: Beard & Mustache Trimmers

Overview

A bathroom counter or a travel bag both suit this Wahl trimmer, which runs on its battery or plugged in. High-carbon blades work with a six-position regulator and guide combs for anything from stubble to a full beard.

Running from the cord when the battery is flat means a trim never stops halfway. The regulator and combs cover a wide range of beard lengths. It is a trimmer, so it leaves short stubble rather than a smooth shave, and the motor hum is strong.

Who it's for

Men maintaining stubble, a short beard or a full beard at a set length will use the regulator constantly. Those who want skin-smooth results need a foil shaver.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Works corded or cordless
  • Wide cutting length range
  • Self-sharpening carbon steel blades
Cons
  • Loud hum during use
  • Leaves stubble, not a close shave
  • Blades need oiling if wet

Performance notes

Length is set by the regulator and guide combs, which hold the blade a fixed distance from the skin. A fast motor drives the cutter, which is why it hums. Drying and oiling the blades after they get wet protects their edge.
