Hi guys/gals , Im looking at buying a beard trimmer and am after some advice from those that use them , I want something adjustable or that comes with combs that trim to different lenghts ,something that can get into tight areas like under the nose with a comb on , something smooth runn'n , guts'y a bita grunt ..prefer mains power not really interested in battery operated , dont mind to pay a bit extra for a quality trimmer that will last , what do you recommend all advice is appreciated ?
I have had a beard for 29 1/2 years the same time I have been straight shaving. :) was taught "Want straight lines use a straight edge"
Now to keep it trimmed for the first 28 1/2 years I used a Wahl, it finally wore out last year, I probably could have just re-wired the cord but I decided to replace it with the same model... :D

Glen,
Think "shave"
:beer2:
I always get rough spots in my beard after I trim it. They bother me, I pull at them, get sore spots and then shave it all off. Then, start over.
I want to be able to trim my beard at different lenghts but very precisely on the jawline I like it to be 3day growth then down to say 1 days groth up over the lip ect and keep it that way permaenatly without havn to shave and regrow to get there
I have used a wahl for years(20?), and it still works. Its a "consumer grade" as opposed to a professional model, but i am only trimming a goatee and sideburns so it doesn't get a real hard workout.
If and when it dies I will go to my local barber supply place and buy a pro grade model.
Things to think about/look for... My wahl uses combs and cutters that can be purchased when they wear out/break/get lost etc.
