A beard grows a few millimeter each two or three days, relying on who you’re—an eighth of an inch every week, on common. So testing beard trimmers can take a very long time.
Generally, we take a look at every beard trimmer as soon as a beard has grown out sufficient for a very good trim—utilizing at the least two slicing lengths. Weight and steadiness issues, and so does the blade’s potential to get to the awkward areas across the neck. We verify the trimmer’s potential to perform as a shaver, whether or not for balding or on the neck.
Our testers verify how well-made and simple to make use of any attachments are, and we confirm producer claims about battery life and energy. We additionally verify in with skilled haircutters, particularly to confirm claims of sturdiness and reliability amongst manufacturers and fashions.
Tester Matthew Korfhage has coarse and indignant hairs, with a seeming thoughts of their very own. Tester Andrew Williams has a comparatively full beard, with straight-growing stubble. We have tried to replicate any attainable points—scuffling with thick bristles, for example—in our critiques, so that you could be certain of the very best trim with the least quantity of effort. And we’d run a blade right into a horsehair broom, to check a motor’s energy, and its chance of bogging down when confronted with a thick, full beard.
