Remington MB4045 Beard Kit

Product Information

Finally, we considered what accessories come with the trimmers. Some are very basic. The Remington Endurance Groomer, for example, doesn’t even come with a proper charger, just a USB adaptor that allows you to plug it into a compatible plug or port. It does, however, come with a carry case, which a lot of the others don’t. The attachment you should use depends on the length you’re going for but trying to maintain a very long beard at home is tough – you need to go and see a barber,” says Rad. “If you’re going for something of just a few millimetres, use all the tools that the trimmer comes with to gradually fade it up. That way it looks more natural than everything being one length.”

Most beard trimmers come with multiple attachments but they tend to fall into one of two categories. Cultivating a beard is a bit like looking after your garden; neglect it and things will soon start to get out of hand. But tending to it isn’t just about attention, it also requires the right tools. Oh, and it buzzes like a swarm of angry hornets, so you might want to buy your family some earplugs. The ones to avoidThe first time you open the box of the Wahl 4-in-1 Multigroomer can be a bit daunting. Not only does it come with 12 comb attachments, there are also four different blade heads, so just working out what you need to fit to it before you can start trimming your beard takes a while. If you want to maintain anything longer than a bit of overgrown stubble, pay attention to the cutting lengths offered by each trimmer. This is easier for some trimmers than others, because they don’t all allow for fine adjustments. Wahl’s Beard Trim, for example, has an integrated comb that goes right up to 24mm, with 2mm at its shortest, but there are only actually seven settings within that range.

Because every beard is different, this advanced piece of kit includes a selection of 3 combs to ensure complete versatility when grooming and shaping your facial hair. Beard trimmers differ from electric shavers in one main way: rather than a foil that you press right up against your skin to cut the hair at the very base, a beard trimmer has a row of exposed cutting teeth. This can be covered with a protective guard attachment and adjusted to increase the distance between the blades and your skin, allowing you to trim your beard to the desired length.

...or from other brands

None of the trimmers we tried were total failures but there were some that either didn’t live up to their price tag, disappointed us when it came to build quality, or just didn’t cut as well as others. The trimmer is equipped with self-sharpening blades, ensuring consistent and efficient performance over time. Its washable feature allows for easy cleaning, maintaining hygiene and prolonging the lifespan of the blades. Battery life isn’t a huge consideration when it comes to beard trimmers because you tend to only use them for about five minutes at a time, but most tend to last for around an hour between charges. Unless you’re going away for an extended period and plan to leave the charger at home, that’s more than long enough.
