THE BEST RECHARGEABLE ELECTRIC BEARD TRIMMERS FOR MEN

Philips Series 9000 Laser Guided Beard Trimmer BT9280/33

Here's the top-of-the-line Philips and it's almost exactly the same as the top choice in our review, the Philips BT5262/13, with two small exceptions and one big one. The small exceptions are that the upper limit of the adjustable comb is 7 mm instead of 10, and the maximum run time before a recharge is 60 minutes instead of 55. The big one: a laser guide that shines a thin line exactly where the blade will cut, so you can trim your beard with precision (if you have a steady hand, of course). Is the laser feature necessary? We're not so sure - but it's cool, if you don't mind paying a bit extra for it.

Wahl Lithium Blitz Beard Trimmer

The list of features provided by the Blitz is impressive, and it's a very good beard trimmer. We don't consider it the best simply because it can be a bit uncomfortable at times; when the angle isn't quite right, the blades have an occasional tendency to pull longer hairs instead of trimming them. However, the Wahl is extremely versatile with twelve separate combs that range from 0.5 mm to a whopping 25 mm, four hours of trimming time per 60 minute charge (with a three minute extra charge function), plus a foil head for trimming below the beard and a detail shaver head for edging. If you don't let your beard grow long, you'll have no problems and you'll love the Blitz.
