Our verdict

A fuller beard kit with a hair collector, fading combs, detail trimmer and charging stand on a fine length dial. The longest setting stops short, so very long beards need scissors too.

Overview

Fading, detailing and trimming beards happens in one kit with this Philips Norelco trimmer and its charging stand. A dial sets lengths in small steps, a sensor raises power in dense patches, and a collector catches clippings.

Less mess on the sink and more attachments make it a step up from a basic trimmer. Its maximum length is short, which limits it to stubble and short to medium beards.

Who it's for

Short beards, fades and neat necklines trimmed at home. Long beard owners should look for a trimmer with a longer comb range.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very fine length steps
  • Hair collector reduces mess
  • Fading combs and detail trimmer
  • Charging stand and quick charge
Cons
  • Short maximum cutting length
  • Wall adapter not included
  • Collector adds bulk

Performance notes

BeardSense measures hair density many times each second and raises motor power where hair is thick, so passes do not drag. The collector traps clippings as they leave the blade. Fine dial steps make fading between lengths more gradual.
