beard trimmers
I grew a beard this winter and I don't want the ZZ Top look (yet 
) My barber trimed it once but, I want to keep it trimmed up. I would like your guys input on beard trimmers. What brands do you prefer and what features do you guys like do they come in chordless models? Thanks

I got a nice Remington High Precision for Christmas. Not a expensive one but it does the trick for me. Comes with a bunch of different blades and attachments. It's cordless and the charger is built into the cradle/accessory holder. The user manual also has instructions for basic beard/moustache maintenance.

I had a Panasonic reghargeable that worked well for years until the Ni-cad dies. I now use a Wahl that uses AA's and like it, but the head is smaller and I find it harder to get things even.

A couple years ago I got a Remington cordless rechargeable that works good. I would never go back to my old battery powered model.

I have a Wahl cordless trimmer that has a built in vacuum chamber to hold the hair after its cut. Makes for easy clean up. It has a guide to trim the beard with, and I trim the moustache freehand. My father's been a barber for over 40 years, so once in awhile I'll have him trim it up for me, although once he trimmed it completely off.
Mom's orders, ya know.

I bought some cheap hair clippers from the drugstore and they've worked well. the blades are wide enough that it's easy to get it even, or rather, difficult to get it uneven.
I prefer a corded model because battery life is a constant problem in my life. Am I the only one? I even prefer my corded drill.

I bought a Wahl from Walmart some years ago which has been great. I thought I would buy a newer one, maybe cut a little better, and found the newer model Wahl with the silver body, the blades did not cut nearly as well as my 5 yr old Wahl. So, I still use the old one. Just need to keep the blades clean.

For a few years I had a Maverick battery-powered deal (mfrd by Remmington). It worked ok, but I kept trimming too much off in a state of creative grooming. I had to give that up.

I used to trim my goatee with a Remington. Still have it, just don't use it anymore because I decided to let it grow longer and even the longest setting on the trimmer is too short. Anyone know of a trimmer that has a top setting longer than the standard 3/4"?

That's a little tip from my good friend Frederica Bimmel.
