The Best Beard Trimmers

Updated

For nine weeks, we tested seven beard trimmers on beards of all lengths. We washed the trimmers, tested battery life and compared their attachments. Ultimately, the Wahl – PowerPro 9686 earned our pick for best beard trimmer. It’s a corded trimmer with great blades and uses clip-on attachments just like your barber’s. If you don’t mind recharging, our top cordless pick, the Panasonic – ER-GB370K, has an adjustable comb guide that replaces a mountain of clip-on attachments.
