Remington MB4045 Beard Kit

Product Information

While the squarer guards (such as those found on the Babyliss 7897U Super Beard or Philips Series 5000) tend to be better suited to maintaining shorter, less rugged looks. 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. The Endurance Groomer is also easy to clean as it’s completely waterproof, so can just be rinsed under the tap when you’re done.

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.

BEARD GROOMING KIT

Oh, and it buzzes like a swarm of angry hornets, so you might want to buy your family some earplugs. The ones to avoid 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. To make things easier, we’ve got winners for different price ranges and uses, so you can narrow down your choice further. Meet our expert testers But it’s not just about the range of adjustments, we also considered how easy they were to alter and how secure they felt when in position. You tend to find one of two types of adjustment mechanism on a beard trimmer.

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 XL Beard Comb is the master of taming longer length beards with length ranging from 20mm & 35mm, also included is an adjustable Beard Comb with lengths ranging from 1.5mm & 18mm. As well as this, there is a Stubble Comb with lengths ranging from 1mm & 5mm, so you can select just the right setting to complete your look. The Super Beard isn’t totally waterproof but you can rinse the blades under the tap, so it’s pretty simple to keep clean, although you will have to remember to oil them regularly as a result, which could become a bit of a pain. Tom Wiggins is a journalist with 12 years’ experience of writing about consumer technology. He also has around 10 years’ experience of beard ownership and upkeep, so is well placed to give a verdict on what the tech needs to do. Could they adequately accommodate moustaches and sideburns? Or would you end up having to buy something else to deal with the details? And when you take the attachment off, could the unguarded blades cope with tidying up the edges? Using one of the longer attachments (the smaller one goes from 1mm to 5mm, the mid-length come goes from 1.5 to 18mm, while the larger can deal with anything between 20 and 35mm) the Remington MB4045 Beard Kit offers a pretty even cut, with only a few stragglers left behind. If you’re after ultimate neatness there’s a small pair of scissors in the box that you can use to tidy up afterwards. 3. Best for bigger beards: Panasonic ER-GB96

At the other end of the scale is Panasonic’s ER-GB96, which not only comes with three separate adjustable comb attachments (plus one for more intricate detailing) but each one can be adjusted in half-millimetre increments using its heavy duty barrel-style control. If you can’t find your ideal length with that level of adjustment there’s no helping you. 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. If you are sporting a really short or really long beard, the Remington Beard Trimmer will easily cover all your needs. The XL adjustable comb (20-35 mm) is perfect for longer length beards and the adjustable short length comb (1.5-18 mm) and stubble comb (1- 5 mm) let you create and maintain a shorter look easilyAll of this takes time and effort, so the last thing you want is for it all to go to waste when a sub-standard trimmer inadvertently carves off half of your hard work, but there are a few things to look out for when selecting a beard trimmer. What we looked for in our testing Its official, the beard is here to stay. This style staple for modern men and discerning gentlemen everywhere can now be groomed to perfection with the Remington Beard Kit. The 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. Similarly, Braun’s MGK3060 comes with six different attachments but the two longer adjustable ones only have five different settings each. “Some trimmers have completely different length settings to others, so it’s all about experience,” says Rad, but for perfectionists the more specific you can be with the adjustments the better. 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.

Compared to the other trimmers at this price, the Babyliss Super Beard does a very impressive job, and it even comes with a charging stand – something you don’t get with many trimmers that cost twice as much. 2. Best on a budget: Remington MB4045 Beard Kit Aside from all being beard trimmers, they all had one thing in common: they could cut to at least 5mm, but many can cope with far bushier beards than that. This kit includes all the accessories you need to style and groom your beard with ease: a pair of Premium Stainless Steel Scissors will help to trim down your beard before you shape and trim, while the Mixed Boar Bristle Brush allows you to brush through your beard before and after styling. Tailored StylingFor added convenience, the trimmer includes a battery level indicator, allowing users to monitor the remaining battery life accurately. Additionally, it comes with scissors for additional grooming needs, providing a comprehensive grooming experience. Most beard trimmers come with multiple attachments but they tend to fall into one of two categories.
