Beard Trimmers
Discussion
Can anyone suggest a good pair of beard trimmers, preferably with adjustable heads (although fixed at around 2mm would be fine) and a fine trimmer for neck line?
I’ve had three in the last few years, which have either broken or the battery has stopped taking a charge. My current trimmers are ‘OK’ but not very versatile. I’ve had Babyliss and Philips x 2.
I don’t want, or need, mega expensive, salon quality trimmers, just normal combination head trimmers for normal use.
Any suggestions are gratefully received.
Thanks.

I went through loads of sets of clippers for all over body use. Most blunted after 6mths but since buying a set made specially for Afro hair haven’t had any issues and they’re 3yrs old now.
The ones I have are the Wahl Baldfader and are on sale in Tesco currently and come with a range of guards - may be a little large for beard use if it’s just this but will do the job

These wok great for me, as long as 3mm is where you want. You want 5mm or so, there are so many bendy, squashy variables in your beard and so, I find it doesn't really cut anything. Maybe there's too much guard on it, maybe that's the same for all of them though, no idea.

I' used the same Remington for 10-12 years now. I think I went through 3-4 of them in that time.
I've tried loads of different ones, always ended up returning and re-buying the same Remington.
This time, I've settled on this one and its really good. Gets a big thumbs up from me and the vacuum system works well.

Thanks for all the responses all! Lots of products to look in to.
Scissors would be the simply option, except I’d come out looking patchy and uneven. Plus it would take 10x as long.
Ref. Philips 7000 series: I have those already, and unfortunately are kaput. The main cutting head went first last year, then the other day the fine trimmer. The tangs on the side are super fragile and all break eventually (so say reviews). Poor design from Philips - they really need to be beefier. You can’t really repair (I tried) as the part becomes misaligned and doesn’t lock in properly afterwards. Great product otherwise.

Just to add a further option, I've had Babyliss ones before and found them OK, but not very powerful, so occasionally had a tendency to stop if faced with a thick bit of beard.
About 4 years ago, I replaced them with an American made Andis corded model which have a magnetic motor. They have been flawless ever since, and work as well today as when I bought them. Really solid and powerful clippers. You just need to ensure that you put a drop of oil (included) on the blades from time to time - when you first get them and then maybe once or twice a year, depending on usage.
