So whats good for a bit of stubble, I tried an I-Stubble about a year ago and wasnt too impressed, so I got a Philips one as its got a vacuum chamber on it to reduce mess but the cut is crap!!!
Any recommendations?

I like the one wilkinson sword do, which is a handle for disposable razor blades. It takes an AAA battery. Because its small, its easy to control. It's a little pricey for something that sold with the gillete mach 3s or whatever at a tenner, but I like it. I've not tried proper full size beard trimmers.

I have Wahl hair clippers that would probably do the job.

Both of them look like they would do a good job, one of the main problems I find with mine though, is getting right in to the corners n stuff under my nose etc. They dont look like they would be any better for that Sad

this is the one I have btw, I use it without the guard.

The Remington has a little "pop up" bit that is for more precise trimming Very Happy

+1 for the Wahl I have had one for twenty years still works like new. As for round your nose just use across your face rather than up and down, you need to pass in different directions anyway for a neat finish.

Yes.

Stop trimming your beard and join the world of real men.

Your beard tickles you between the shoulder blades?

I got a boots rechargable one. When my face gets too hairy I trim it right down to stubble. It has the settings on the little clip on thingys that have various sizes but I used it without to get right down to stubble.

Cost me a tenner over a year ago and still works.

Yet another for Wahl clippers. After a barber did mine with his Super Taper I went and ordered one the next day. All it needs is a quick (30 seconds!) once over weekly. Absolutely love it. It doesn't get as close as a razor/shaver obviously but if you just want to leave a little, its perfect.

It's also awesome at hair Rolling Eyes

I know the above post is spam but this thread reminds me I got a Babyliss trimmer recently and it's proper crap. I had the same brand but a much older model and it would cut my hair too no bother (until it broke after a few years), but the new one just doesn't even try, it ends up jamming up, which hurts quite a bit Embarassed So I end up using clippers for me hair.

The Remington still decent after all these years, Cansa? Laughing

I bought it after that post (2+ years ago Shocked ) and sure enough it's still grafting perfectly, for hair + beard trimming.

My Nicky Clarke set (£20 from boots iirc) is still going strong 10+ years after buying it. Don't think I've ever oiled the blades Embarassed
