Just make sure you get a cordless one.

Wahl all the way - had mine for over 10 years and still going strong. Don't bother with cordless ones.

why not cordless? I trim my stubble and shave my head in the bathroom. I don't have a socket in there allowing me to use mains powered. cordless make it far easier and would be a pain doing my head with a cord to strangle me

Mine are fine for several uses before a charge. You can use with the cord in if needed. Just keep the clipper blades oiled to make sure smooth operation and all should be well.

Mr Bat

Bought a babyliss i-trim

The guard goes up in 0.5 mm increments for short stubble to long beard

Maybe if you are a baldy get a mains one.

I just find them a little under powered compared to the Wahl. I shave my head as well to a number 1 and the cordless one tends to die half way through.

Beards Are they all the rage outside of the middle east?
Or maybe my 'bumfluff isn't up to it. Lol.

I bought the i-Stubble it's smaller than the i-Trim and better for that rough & ready look

PS - Cost the same and is from Boots (£34-ish)

They don't have the same umph as a main powered one would but as i say you need to keep the blades oiled then they should be fine. cordless just means a lot more flexibility IMHO

Don't worry yourself, you need to reach puberty first

Just wait till some feckwit surgeon leaves you with nerve damage all over your lower jaw and you'll soon warm to your beard, just as I did

Never missed more than the odd day shaving until mr jaw breaker struck a nerve (literally)

Anyway, suits me and here to stay

PS However, like any bush, they need a good trimming, got to keep your bush neat and not let it get unruly

I got a remington ceramic one for christmas 06 and it's brilliant.
Holds a charge for ages, sharp, never needs oiling, has in integrated guide so doesn't get lost and a pop up thing for doing your ears

Im not at that age where I need to worry about my ear hair

Freak

Wahl groomsman here.... anything from perma-stubble to full on serial killer beard.
Does the job nicely and the batterys last a while.
