    Default Trimmer for a goatee?

    I've recently started sporting a goatee for the first time since I was 18 when I tried it out but could never get the precise straight lines. Needless to say, the straight razor makes this very easy for me and it has perfect lines. However, it is not easy to cut with scissors and I want uniform length.

    There are lots of products on the market I know, but can anyone recommend a cheap one that does the trick well?

    Many thanks in advance

    I've used a Conair turbo for years now. It has served me well, held up nice. My only complaint is trimming my moustache. My Goatee is dense, and it struggles a bit trimming the lip line (moustache). Other than that, The overall trimming is great...The blade guard is adjusable...and it has several attachments which I never use...Wal Mart...I think it was around 20 - 30 bucks...I can't remember, it's a been a while...

    I had a cheap Conair for years as well. It was alright, but it was a battery hog. I have been using a Remington rechargable for the last few years. It has 9 settings, so it's very versatile. About $25 or so at Walmart.

    Been using this for the past year, and I am pretty happy with it.

    They hold a charge for quite a while, too.

    Remington Barba Beard Trimmer MB320 - Boots

    This is what I'm going for. There's a Boots very close to my office, so I'll have one by tomorrow. Seems to be a successor of the MB 40. I like the fact that it has adjustable lengths rather than different clipper guards that are separate and would no doubt get lost.

    Many thanks for your advice!

    Yup, that's the one that I have, only a few years older. You'll be happy with it. But 25 quid? Things sure are more expensive over the pond.

    The 40 is older than the 320 surely, not the other way round? 25 pounds does not seem so expensive for what it is - how much is it over there?

    Whal clippers

    My first set finally broke last year, I bought them in 1982 and if I had wanted to I could have just re-wired the cord on it...

    I replaced them with this newer model...
