The Buying Guide to Beard Trimmers & Hair Clippers

Do you wear your beard with pride? Or are you looking forward to experimenting with your facial hair?

Whether it is a goatee or a full luscious beard, if you want to maintain it, then you really need to take good care of it.
Whether it’s trimming, shaving, detailing or pruning, we are sure that at least one of these are a part of every man’s grooming routine. And to be able to do all of that easily at home sounds like a dream.. Well, with the best trimmer by your side, you can ace any look with ease!

Hence, beard trimmer for men is a must-have which should be present in men’s grooming kit. But we understand, finding the ‘one’ trimmer for men can be a real headache. Especially, if you are buying or gifting one for the first time.

Read on and we will help you with a few things that you can keep in mind and remember to check before hitting the buy button!

First & foremost, you should definitely establish the purpose of buying a hair trimmer. Do you need one that will keep your facial fuzz in check or are you looking for something that can help you style your beard as well as meet body grooming needs. Whilst maintaining a beard may only require a standard blade, all over body grooming demands particular blades for each area of the head and body. This can be anything from a personal trimmer with a changeable head for removing unwanted ear and nose hair, to a multigroomer with interchangeable heads that caters to the face, body and head hair.

Secondly, you should be aware of your beard type. The type of facial hair you have or choose to grow will determine the hair trimmer you need.

Once you have established these two pointers, keep in mind to have a look at the following features when buying hair trimmers for men:

Blades

This comes as a no-brainer. How is it going to trim your beard or clip your hair otherwise? Hence the quality and sharpness of the blade is important in order to achieve the perfect trim.

A cheap blade will not be sharp and will not be made of strong metal. It could even leave burns and rashes, as a poor quality blade tugs at the skin rather than slices through the bottom of the hair.

As long as it’s stainless steel, you should not be worried. Stainless steel doesn’t rust and lasts a long time. Another option here is titanium blades. As with the stainless blades, they are also strongly built.

Battery Capacity

Busy lifestyles have already put a lot of pressure on all of us. Men need to trim their beards often and many times they don’t have much time at their disposal. In such a scenario, the last thing one would want is, their hair trimmer running out of battery!
Or even worse, you are halfway through trimming your beard, and oops.. It’s out of battery! We can’t even imagine the horror of being in such a situation!
Hence, you should definitely have a look at the battery capacity. Additionally, look for the ‘quick charge function’ which provides maximum charge within a minimum amount of time.

Length Options

Most men's hair clippers and trimmers come with adjustable combs that attach to the trimmer itself to allow cutting hair for different lengths. Especially if you are going to experiment with your style, having a trimmer  with varied comb options is going to be really helpful. Close trim attachments that range from grades 0.5-1.5mm help you maintain short stubbles, whilst long lustrous beards may require taming with a  bigger length blade. Hence they are essential for creating your desired look.

Price

Last but not least, the price of a trimmer should fall under your budget. Your self care routine should not come at the cost of destroying your budget. Hence, don’t forget to have a look at the product and also judge it by its price value. Trimmer for men price may vary from anything between 5k to 15k, so make your choice accordingly.
