Razors for beards: The 4 Best Beard Trimmers of 2023

Best beard trimmers in 2023

Beard trimmers run the gamut in terms of functions and abilities, and can be the difference between a manicured look versus a misshapen mess. That’s why we decided to go hands-on with some of the industry’s top-rated and best-reviewed clippers and see for ourselves which ones truly stand out. We tested everything from durability to battery life to, most importantly, how well it trimmed facial hair. After dozens of beard trims, careful consideration and plenty of testing and retesting, we found three beard trimmers that — ahem — made the cut.

Remington Smart Beard Trimmer

Remington’s smart trimmer scored exceptionally well in all of our tests, especially in crucial areas that affect your daily prune. What sets this trimmer apart from the rest we tested is all of its “smart” abilities. But this isn’t just the dream trimmer for tech nerds — there’s also real substance behind the flash.

The Remington trimmer provided a quick and easy clip, taking about seven passes to trim beard hair down to the guide’s length. And since we’re talking about length, the customizability on this trimmer is one of the reasons it rose to the top. It has 175 lengths to choose from, thanks to a motorized comb that’s controlled by a digital touch screen on the trimmer’s face. With a simple tap, you can move the guide up or down by increments of 0.1 millimeters.

Though the difference between a 4.1 millimeter and a 4.2 millimeter trim doesn’t really matter in the long run, the Remington ranges from 0.4 millimeters to 18 millimeters, providing a broad swath of options. This, paired with the incredible specificity of the tiny adjustments, makes it adaptable and easy to tailor exactly to your desires. Though with all these lengths, the trimmer didn’t come with any attachments such as a detailer, which could help clean up any lines.

The Remington also has a profile feature that stores your last four length settings. You can tap the profile button, select between the presets, and the guide will automatically go to that length setting. We thought this function was quite useful for instances where you want different lengths of hair. Normally you’d have to switch guide combs if you want your chin hair longer than the hair on your cheeks, but with the Remington it only takes one tap to jump over to another length.

Our winning trimmer also has a wake-up function that, when you pick it up, automatically turns it on and sets it to the last length setting used. Plus, it can sense the thickness of your beard and adapt the blade speed to compensate.

All these futuristic features are nice, but even without them this trimmer performed better than most other trimmers in plenty of our other tests. Most notably, the Remington ranked as our most durable trimmer, a bit surprising considering all its smart functions and heavy weight. But the Remington came out unscathed from our drop test, where we dropped each trimmer from a shaving position three times.

Cleanup was as simple as popping the blade off and rinsing everything in the sink. The entire trimmer is fully washable, which came as another surprise due to its digitization.

The only place the Remington stumbled was in battery and aesthetics. It isn’t the sexiest-looking trimmer, but its shiny lights and touchscreen make up for that. In terms of battery, it lasted more than one hour and 20 minutes, which was below the one-hour-and-58-minute average runtime for the field. The charge time was also second slowest, at one hour and 50 minutes, which can be somewhat expected from a trimmer with this many smart features.

There are tons of fancy functions in this trimmer, but above all the Remington trimmer makes the entire shaving experience simple and convenient. You won’t have to fumble around with dozens of attachments, run over your beard for what seems like hours to trim it down, or spend longer cleaning up than you did shaving. It’s all made easy with the Remington Smart Beard Trimmer.

Braun Beard Trimmer BT7240

Kai Burkhardt/CNN

The Braun Beard Trimmer BT7240 is an excellent trimmer all around: It gave us an accurate and consistent trim, although it didn’t cut as much hair as quickly as the Remington or the Wahl Lithium Ion+. The lines it gave us weren’t the sharpest, but it comes with a detailer attachment that helps trim up any troublesome spots. Overall, the Braun provided an above-average trim, while other features like its versatility and battery pushed it beyond the rest of the pack.

The Braun had the second-highest number of lengths behind the Remington, with 39 different options ranging from 1 millimeter to 20 millimeters. This is a wider range than our winner’s, but the Braun only notches up every 0.5 millimeters (in contrast to the Remington’s 0.1 millimeters). This range comes from two attachments that can be controlled by a dial on the trimmer’s face. The guides themselves are comfortable and allow the blades to carve through beards quickly, while protecting against any slip-ups or uneven spots.

cnn.com/_components/paragraph/instances/paragraph_74A86430-BDC6-4F57-74F6-B015F202EEFE@published” data-editable=”text” data-component-name=”paragraph”>
The cleanup was fast and easy with the Braun, since both the blades and the body can be rinsed under water once they’re disconnected. The trimmer was easy to hold, winning points for its ergonomic shape and small grip, and if you do accidentally drop it, the BT7240 can take the hit. During our drop tests, the blades popped off from the body, but there was zero damage to any part of the trimmer.

One thing that truly stuck out with the Braun trimmer was its battery life and Quick Charge feature. Our device lasted two hours 16 minutes running on full blast with a fully charged battery. Once dead, we charged it for just five minutes to check how long it would last if you needed to shape your beard up under a time crunch, and it buzzed for 23 minutes off that short charge.

If you’re looking for a consistent, reliable trimmer, the Braun BT7240 is a great pick. While it didn’t cut hairs as fast as the Remington and doesn’t have teeny tiny length increments, it went punch for punch with the Remington during our testing. It comes with a mini foil and detailer attachment, so for someone who doesn’t need all the fancy features of our number one pick and is willing to give up some shave quality for accessories and a better battery life, this trimmer from Braun is the one for you.

Wahl Lithium Ion+ Stainless Steel Grooming Kit

Kai Burkhardt/CNN

For those who need the cleanest of lines and will sacrifice versatility and extra features for the best pure shave, the Wahl Lithium Ion+ is definitely the trimmer to go for. The precision trimmer was the best in overall performance, with the second highest marks for trimming ability. The Andis Slimline Pro Lithium Ion T-blade Trimmer scored the highest for trimming ability, but we ultimately decided to highlight the Wahl because the Andis broke after our drop test and wouldn’t charge. We tried multiple times to recharge and run it but it never turned on. The Slimline Pro was one of two major casualties in our drops, the other being a chipped blade from another Andis trimmer.

The Wahl Lithium Ion+ offers a powerful, smooth trim that cuts precisely through beard hair. While the guides are a little flimsy, especially the larger ones, the Wahl gave us one of the best all-around trims with an outstanding ability to shape lines. With the standard blade, the lines we cut along our neckline were phenomenally clean and sharp. There were no stray hairs, and the line was completely uniform. The standard blade is a bit wide, so we had to be a little careful that we didn’t get overzealous and carve out a crooked line, but the trimmer comes with a small detailing attachment that helped out with more precise cuts.

While we would recommend the Wahl given its trimming abilities alone, it also scored really well overall, coming in third place in total points. Its battery life is stellar: The lithium ion battery lasted nearly two hours more than the next best trimmer (again, the Andis Slimline Pro) with a whopping four hours and 48 minutes of runtime. While it came in short of the advertised six hours, it’s still more than enough juice to last months in between charges. And if the trimmer unexpectedly dies right before you run out the door, it has a killer Quick Charge function. Once it finally died, we recharged it for one single minute and got an extra nine minutes of trimming in return.

In other areas of testing, the Wahl fell short of some of the other trimmers. The body can’t be rinsed, so you have to clean the inside with a brush, and it needs to be oiled on a regular basis, though the directions suggest once per month should suffice. It’s quite durable; the only thing that broke during our drops was the guide comb. It comes with 15 attachments, including 12 guide combs, so you’ll definitely have a bag overflowing with accessories. The Wahl’s combs range between 1.5 and 25 millimeters in length, but the gaps are much bigger than the Braun or the Remington. Instead of increments of 0.1 millimeters, it jumps anywhere from 1.5 to 3 millimeters between lengths, so you might get stuck between 13 millimeters and 16 millimeters when you really want something in between.

The Wahl Lithium Ion+ has a couple of shortfalls, but if you’re willing to sacrifice a little convenience, it’s a solid all-around pick with great battery life and is the best option for someone whose top priority is a precise, high-level trim that keeps your beard looking sharp.

When looking for the best beard trimmer, we wanted to test the devices’ every single feature, so we trimmed, timed, weighed and drop-tested them for over a week, taking meticulous notes the entire time. We broke the testing into four categories — performance, durability, versatility and design — we could look at the different pros and cons of each trimmer and rate them against each other directly. Within each category, we had multiple tests to try out each of the trimmer’s functions. Here’s a full breakdown of our testing process.

Performance

• Trimming ability: We trimmed our beard with each trimmer, seeing how much hair it cut in one pass, and how many passes it took to get down to the guide length. We also judged how consistent the trim was, looking for any long stray hairs or short spots.
• Precision: We cut lines into our beards at the neck and cheek, both with the standard blade and with the detailer blade if the trimmer came with one. We looked at how clean and straight the line was and how easy it was to get that line.
• Hair catches: While testing and shaving, we took note if the trimmer caught or tugged on any hairs.
• Shaving ability: When cleaning up the cheeks and neckline, we attempted to shave down to bare skin with the standard blade, or with the foil shaver attachment if it came with one. We looked at how long it took to shave down and how short any stubble was.
• Battery life: With an iPhone timer, we tracked how long it took each trimmer to die after a full charge, as well as how long it took to fully recharge. If the trimmer had a quick charge function, we tested those claims as well.
• Irritability: When trimming and shaving, we noted if the blades started to get hot or felt especially rough on our skin. We also took note if the trimmer got hot during the battery test.

Durability

• Cleaning: We cleaned each trimmer by following its directions, judging how easy it was to clean by the time it took and the effort required. If we could simply rinse it under the sink, we deemed it easy to clean, whereas if we had to oil the blades or if brushing the trimmer was difficult or awkward, we docked points.
• Oil: We read the instructions to see if the trimmer required oil and if so, how often it was recommended to apply the oil.
• Waterproof: We read the directions to see if the trimmer was waterproof or washable. If it was, we tested it by putting it under running water from our sink.
• Drop test: We dropped each trimmer three times from a shaving position into our sink. We took note of any broken pieces (including guides) or if the blades popped off, and checked to see if the trimmers continued to work afterward.
• Warranty: We looked at the length of the warranty for each device.

Versatility

• Adjustability: We counted how many trimming lengths each device had and included any additional attachments.
• Attachments: We looked at any included attachments and judged how useful and effective they were.
• Portability: We weighed each trimmer on a food scale and also considered if the trimmer came with a carrying case, which we threw in a backpack to see how much room it took up.

Design

• Aesthetic: We judged each device on its overall aesthetic appeal.
• Comfort: We held each trimmer and noted how comfortable it felt to use each, taking into account shape and grip.

Philips Norelco Multigroom 3000 ($20; target. com)

Though the best budget beard trimmers we tested with some nice qualities, ultimately the Philips Norelco Multigroom 3000 wasn’t up to par when it came to trimming. The trim was quick but not very consistent. It had a guide that didn’t completely protect your hair from the blade, so you can’t buzz around willy-nilly if you want to avoid spots that turn out shorter than others. It’s super compact, handles easily and didn’t take any damage during the drops.

Philips Norelco Model 7000 Beard & Hair Men’s Electric Trimmer with Vacuum ($60; target.com)

cnn.com/_components/paragraph/instances/paragraph_79F49ED8-F99B-9CE8-B052-B015F2200B39@published” data-editable=”text” data-component-name=”paragraph”>
Our biggest issue with this Philips trimmer was the guide. It was so bulky that it took much longer than other devices to trim our hair down to the desired length. Its vacuum also failed to meet our expectations. It claims to capture up to 95% of cut hair, but we found it to catch more like 60%. And once the hair is sucked up, the body can’t be rinsed, so we had to bang out the trimmings into the trash and brush out any that didn’t fall out.

Andis Slimline Pro Lithium Ion T-blade Trimmer ($60, originally $75; amazon.com)

This trimmer from Andis gave us a remarkably consistent, smooth and precise clip. It actually would have been our performance pick if it didn’t shut down after the drop test. The blades are a little rough on the skin, and cleaning it is a pain since the blades can’t be easily removed and the trimmer can’t be rinsed in water. It requires a lot of maintenance and care since it should be oiled before, during and after each use — but if, ultimately, you want the absolute best trim and don’t care about anything else (like durability), this trimmer should be in the conversation with the Wahl Lithium Ion+.

Andis Professional Cord / Cordless T-Outliner Li Trimmer ($179, originally $216; amazon.com)

Similar to its smaller brother in the Slimline Pro, this Andis clipper was fantastic at trimming hair, but fell flat in other areas. It’s heavier and bulkier than the Slimline, and unfortunately bits of the blade chipped off in our drop tests. If you’re looking for a high-caliber trim, go with either the Wahl or the Slimline.

Braun All-in-One Trimmer MGK5245 ($42, originally $45; amazon.com)

The Braun All-in-One did fairly well — it just cut a tad slower than its beard-oriented counterpart. It’s durable, it has a great battery and it can basically do everything the Braun BT7240 does, with a little less precision and versatility. Though at the low price point, it’s definitely worth consideration.

cnn.com/_components/paragraph/instances/paragraph_7C90688E-FDAA-1E11-9A03-B015F229E254@published” data-editable=”text” data-component-name=”paragraph”>
Hatteker Hair Clipper Beard Trimmer Kit ($40; amazon.com)

The Hatteker provided a decent trim. It has a bulky guide that we didn’t love but still trimmed down to the desired length quickly. It’s completely waterproof, which is a big plus, and it comes with tons of blades, attachments and combs. Our biggest issues with the Hatteker were its battery life (it turned in the worst performance with a run time of just over one hour) and its durability. In the drop test, the key attachment that adjusts to 10 different lengths exploded on the first drop.

Can You Use a Beard Trimmer in the Shower?

Yifei Fang//Getty Images

Most beard trimmers and multi-groomers are designed to be waterproof, offering the convenience of using them in the shower for a hassle-free and easily washable clean-up. Using an anti-fog mirror will enable clear visibility while grooming, ensuring precision and accuracy.

But remember, it’s crucial to pat dry the trimmer blades after each use to prevent any moisture build up that could potentially impact their performance.

How to Maintain Stubble

Daniel Day//Getty Images

Regular trimming using a reliable beard trimmer or clippers is pivotal to maintain your desired stubble length and achieve a well-groomed look.

It’s also important to treat your stubble with the same care you give to your skin. Regularly washing with a mild facial cleanser is crucial to remove dirt, oils, and dead skin cells that can accumulate. Incorporating exfoliation into your routine once or twice a week can effectively prevent ingrown hairs, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable stubble growth.

Moisturising your stubble and the skin beneath can improve its overall health and appearance. Consider using a top-quality beard oil or moisturiser to hydrate both the hair and the underlying skin. This not only reduces itchiness but also promotes healthy stubble growth, keeping it soft and manageable.

To maintain a neat and well-groomed look, invest in a high-quality beard brush or comb. Regularly brushing or combing your stubble helps ensure an even distribution of hair, while also training the hairs to grow in the desired direction. This practice prevents any unruly patches and helps you achieve a more polished appearance.

Lastly, pay attention to the neckline area. Trimming any stray hairs below the natural neckline is crucial to maintain a clean and defined stubble look. 

How to Maintain Long Beards

Westend61//Getty Images

To look after a long beard, you’ll need to give it consistent care and attention.  As with stubble, regular washing is key. Make sure to cleanse your beard thoroughly using a gentle beard shampoo or cleanser. This will effectively remove dirt, debris, and excess oils without stripping away the natural oils that keep your beard healthy.

Next, conditioning is essential for long beards. Apply a high-quality beard conditioner or beard oil to moisturise and soften your facial hair. This helps prevent dryness, reduces frizz, and promotes healthy growth.

Brushing and combing your long beard is important for its overall appearance and health. Utilise a suitable beard brush or comb to gently detangle and evenly distribute the natural oils throughout your beard.  

Regular trimming and shaping are necessary to maintain the desired shape of your long beard and prevent split ends. Using sharp beard scissors or a reliable beard trimmer, carefully trim any stray or damaged hairs. Daily application of beard oil is highly recommended.

A few drops of beard oil massaged into your beard and the underlying skin will keep it hydrated, nourished, and pleasantly scented. 

Patience and perseverance are essential when growing and maintaining a long beard. Avoid the temptation to trim it too frequently and allow it to reach its full potential before making major adjustments.

Maintaining a healthy diet is essential for promoting healthy hair growth. Ensure your diet includes a good balance of vitamins, minerals, and proteins to support the growth and vitality of your long beard.

Lastly, protect your beard from harsh environmental factors. Shield it from extreme cold or excessive sun exposure by wearing a scarf or utilising beard balm with UV protection.

Remember, each beard is unique, so it may take some experimentation to find the best techniques and products that suit yours.

batteries. For a long time, mains powered trimmers were considered more powerful and
reliable, but today this technology is already outdated. Power cord restricts maneuverability,
excluding the possibility of using a trimmer in the shower.

It is preferable to purchase a trimmer with
combined power supply – that is, with a built-in battery that can
work from the network (some models, when connected to the network, immediately start
charge the battery and do not work until it is fully charged), or
battery operated trimmer. The life of one battery in the trimmer depends on
intensity of use, on average – about a month.

Among other things, the operating time of the trimmer from
battery determines whether it is worth taking it with you on a trip.

Power

The power of the trimmer directly affects
on its efficiency, including the ability to switch modes and
speeds for bristles of different lengths and densities.

The device must be sufficient
powerful so as not to tear out hair in areas where they grow especially densely.
If the trimmer gets stuck in the process of processing such an area, the sensations will
quite painful, in addition, the appearance of the beard will suffer: if the trimmer
“does not pull”, you can easily tear out a tuft of hair with it.

Equipment

Modern trimmers, as a rule,
equipped with removable nozzles designed to treat different areas (lower
parts of the face and neck, lines of the mustache, ears and nose) and work with hair of different lengths.
Technological nozzles allow you to adjust the degree of proximity of the blades to the face, without
allowing too close contact – this is especially important when shaving sensitive skin.

For example, the Gillette STYLER has 4 cutting levels.
hairs and comes with three interchangeable comb attachments to ensure
uniform length and neat contours.

length, thickness and direction of hair growth. For example, hair can grow densely
or rarely, evenly or discontinuously, in one direction, in opposite directions
sides or “whirlwinds”.

If you wear a mustache, you will need
a small nozzle – it is also useful for removing hairs on hard-to-reach
plots.

Blades

Blade quality directly affects
result. Pay attention to the material from which the blades are made, and
also on the presence of the function of automatic sharpening when used. Usually,
blades are made of stainless steel, titanium alloys or with ceramic
coated. Gillette
installs blades with an innovative anti-friction coating, improved
edges and progressive geometry to evenly distribute
load coming from the hand down the machine to each blade.

Functionality

Useful features available on some models
additional functions:

§
containers
for collecting cut hair;

§
laser
pointers for “marking” precise lines;

§
switch
voltages or adapters for sockets of different types;

§
function
length adjustment;

§
backlight;

§
additional
accessories (cleaning brush, oil for lubricating the knife block, stand,
case, travel case).

In addition, the trimmer housing must be
waterproof, which will allow you to use the device without problems in the shower and
rinse the blades under a faucet. If the wet cleaning function is not provided, then
hair will have to be removed manually.

Another important factor is how the trimmer
falls into the hand. The ergonomics of the device determines how easy and convenient
will draw precise boundaries and handle complex areas, including lines
folds and areas with delicate skin. Do not ignore this moment, because it is inconvenient
trimmer is much more likely to ruin the beard, and if the handle unexpectedly
slip out, i.e. there is a risk of cutting yourself. This is critical in the early stages, when
you are just learning how to trim your beard with a trimmer.

As
take good care of your trimmer

Like any other device, the trimmer
needs maintenance. It needs to be cleaned and lubricated (if
not a trimmer with interchangeable heads). Rinse blades better with cool or warm
water (not hot), clean the space between the body and the head with a brush:
hairs can get in there too. The grooves of the blades can be treated with cotton
wand. Dry the device and attachments well, use when traveling
special travel case.

Remove stuck hairs after
every haircut if you want your trimmer to last for a long time. For this
special brushes are used, which are usually included in the kit. If suddenly
Cleaning brush is not included, be sure to purchase it separately.

Choosing
beard trimmer, focus on the chosen style and shape of the beard, length
hair, their quality and features of growth. Consider where and how you plan them
to use and how comfortable you are to use it. If you count
use one device for both head hair and a beard with a mustache, then
it is better to give preference to universal trimmers with several nozzles.
