    Hey
    Looking to buy a beard trimmer. Im not looking for top-of-the range gadget but something less than 50 euros
    that does the job.
    Can anyone recommend one?

    I use a little philips jobbie, saw them in the bottom floor of arnotts in dublin recently, can't recall the price but probably not more than 30 euro. If I want to be tidy or accurate, it takes a second or third run over, but usually it's a 20 second buzz and I'm happy with the result.

    How close does it get it? I've some old one that still leaves it a little bit too long. I'd invest in one if it gave the day 2/day 3 stubble look.

    I've got one of the Babyliss for men ones, it's fully adjustable and can go from very short stubble (1 or 2 day?) up to a short beard in terms of length.

    I have this one too.
    Honestly, along with my laptop and guitar, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made, in terms of usefulness and longevity.

    What's it like for controlling larger beards?

    I use a normal hair shaver for my beard and it does just fine! The Babyliss has been used twice in the last two years, it tends to struggle through thickness!

    I have a Babyliss one that comes with all the attachments, 5 cutting guides, oil, scissors and cape all in a handy case, it holds a charge well and I use it on my beard as well as my hair.

    Saves me a fortune.

    Picked one up in boots (own brand) for ten euro before. Does the job, grand.
    Edit: Used on a light beard.

    Argos seems to have sales deals in this type of equipment. I was looking recently for a beard trimmer. For me it was a bit difficult to decide which one. As mentioned above -if your beard is really thick and you don't keep it short - ordinary hair trimmer would do the job. for shorter and not very thick beards maybe babyliss /has different levels,some of them start 0.5mm /for me it was too expensive. but look in the catalog /the paper one/ and you decide price/functions ratio.
