Hunting for the best beard trimmer? Here are the best picks on top models from Braun and Philips to Panasonic and Remington, all of which have been tested by GQ
Heading into the new year with some resolutions in mind? Getting fitter, eating cleaner and drinking less alcohol is the top choice for many, but in our mind, growing out a mighty beard that rivals that of Thor himself is what we’re aiming for from 2024. To do that, we need to invest in one of the best beard trimmers around, to cut down on the stressful part of tidying up the facial fuzz. Whether you’re looking for a light covering of stubble but unsure how to get the hair that short, or you’re battling against a wild and unruly beard that’s in dire need of taming, our grooming experts have collected the absolute best devices to get the job done.
A proper beard trimmer will make your grooming routine significantly easier to deal with, regardless of your facial hair length, but not all devices can deal with all shapes and sizes, meaning you’re going to need some self-assessment on your budget, how thick and flowing your beard is, and what you want your trimmer to do. Selecting a trimmer that can shape up your edges, contour your cheekbones or fade the beard into your hair means looking through the inevitable range of products that will tick all your boxes, and each is covered below by our grooming editors.
Granted, some of these cordless beard trimmers are pricey enough to be considered an investment, but once you’ve got the practice in, it will be considerably more affordable than a weekly trip to the barbershop to keep things tidy. To help you on your way to a beardy nirvana, we’ve enlisted the help of some actual professionals. Joe Mills, celebrity stylist and founder of Joe Mills Studio and Joe Mills agency, and Jordan Armstrong, stylist and barber at London-based trimmers, Supply 91 advise on how to select a good beard trimmer and how to use it properly. And if you're looking for more grooming tech, feel free to have a look at our top picks for the best body hair trimmers, hair clippers, best electric shavers and even the best beard oil, too, for the complete men’s grooming guide.
Philips Series 9000 Prestige Beard Trimmer
You don't have to spend more than £100 on a beard trimmer, but if you're after a premium experience, look no further than this beautifully solid steel model from Philips. It's clever too, automatically adapting the power of its stainless steel blades to your beard density. It's by far the best trimmer around and easily the most popular.
At just under £30, Braun's trimmer is a bargain and a half, with a simple-yet-effective dial that lets you choose from 20 different length settings. Pop the guard off and it's decent for getting a clean edge or touching up finer details too, making it a versatile tool that offers plenty for the price.
What if you've got more problems to sort than just your beard? What if you need to trim your nose hair, shave a bit of your head hair and then also brush your teeth after all that work? Wouldn't it be better if you could do all that with one device? Panasonic's Multishape is a multi-faceted beast of a men's grooming device, and well worth the price of entry.
The price of admission might be relatively high, but Philips' top-tier OneBlade Pro is a dream for the travelling man looking to maintain stubble and short beards away from the comforts of their own bathroom. Powerful, excellent at dealing, and packed full of airport-friendly features, it's a must-have for any globe-trotter.

Anyone who is hoping to grow and look after a beard should seek out the advice of someone who does it full time. It's hard work to get your head around various oils, trimmers and shaping tools, so we've roped in someone who's pride and joy is their beard and how it looks. Our grooming editor, Owen Gough, has been working in the industry for more than seven years, testing every blade and razor in the business to get an idea of what the rest of you beard-owning folk might want to buy. Key to any beard trimmer scoring his recommendation is its balancing ergonomics, aesthetics and ease of use whether its owner happens to be a trimming pro or an absolute beginner. Elsewhere, we've looked at a combination of user reviews, specs, and features – combined with those years of grooming expertise – to pick the cream of the beard trimmer crop.
There's a lot to take on when investigating a new beard trimmer, so if you're not sure where to begin, allow us to explain the key bits you need to focus on.
Trimming length: Whether you're blessed with a mighty beard of Thor or just got a bit of stubble poking out around your chin, you'll want to experiment with the lengths of your facial hair. Shaving your entire face all the same length can round off your jawline and reduce the sharpness of your face, which is not what we're aiming for here.
Instead, you should be shaving sections of your beard along the cheeks at steadily increasing lengths to stretch out the jaw to create an illusion of a blockier face. Therefore, you should hunt for a beard trimmer that can easily switch between cutting lengths for the desired effect, with proglide blades that make it easier to mark out the layers as you go. Most models can do this with a scaling razor blade that chops hair at different lengths, or will come with included guiding combs to raise the hairs for you.
Battery life: The last thing you need is for the battery to die mid-shave. We've all suffered through the embarrassment and it sucks, so make sure you check out the battery length of your trimmer to ensure it lasts as long as possible to reduce that risk. For most men, a 10-minute shave is enough to clear away the unwanted whiskers, so anything with an hour charge should be good to go. It's also worth checking how long it takes to top up, as you don't want to be forced to wait several hours before you can use it again.
Cordless or corded: Following on from that, some trimmers are corded, requiring a hard line into a wall socket to power. These will inevitably be more powerful and will remove the risk of running out of charge as you shave but won't be waterproof, which is a snag if you prefer to shave and shower at the same time.
Accessories: “Make sure the trimmer you choose also has an option for attachments, so you can use different grades to achieve a clean blend, ” says Armstrong. “If you like stubble, you will need to look for a trimmer with close trim attachments, whereas if you prefer a more short-to-medium beard, you will need slightly longer attachments (depending on the model of trimmer, the grades may be measured in millimetres or with a number system). For a long beard, the same rules apply, but the difference is finding a quality trimmer that will cut through cleanly and won't pull on the hair, as freehand work is required. Good news is that most trimmers on the market come with a range of attachments to suit all lengths and needs.”
Some top-tier options arrive with electric shaver accessories, an additional wet razor or clipper heads specifically for shaving body hair.
Trusted brands: For Jordan, it’s all about sticking to the grooming brands you know and love. Armstrong told us, “If it’s just for home use and it's your first foray into beard trimmers, I would recommend investing in a trusted brand like Braun, Wahl, Philips, or Panasonic, as these will feel more powerful and cut the hair much more efficiently and effectively than a cheaper alternative, ultimately making your life easier.”
Looking to emulate the pros? Mills says, “Personally, I use the Babyliss Custom FX Clipper. The reason being they have a great battery life, is easy to handle and have a great blade and guard selection. I prefer a hair clipper as it has the power and battery life for what I need. It will get through a full beard or help maintain my stubble depending on which route I’m going down. Wahl also has a great selection as well but I prefer Babyliss.” Regardless of the brand you choose, you need to make sure your trimmer has a marathon-level battery, exceptional guiding combs and the versatility to cultivate an epic beard without difficulty.
In general, corded clippers are more powerful, which is why barbers still often use them for hair. The downside, of course, is that they take up more space and limit where you can comfortably groom yourself. Almost all beard trimmers these days are cordless lithium-ion rechargeable affairs, and with good reason — they’re far more practical and more than powerful enough to get the job done in between a full charge. If you're not fussed about waterproofing, charge times and wire-free use, though, then a powerful corded trimmer can be a joy to use.
Joe's guide to maintaining a long beard is simple. “Trimming and shaping a long beard is a different skill from trimming stubble,” he says. “If you want to try this at home, it's all visual. Take your time and remember less is more as once you cut it's done.”
“Use a comb or brush and really work it through the beard after you have used a beard wash. This allows you to see what you have to work with. Then look at what areas you want to trim or shape. If it's on the lower neck then think about how much you want off. There will be a selection of clipper guards with your clippers so try them off the clipper almost as a comb to see how much length they will remove and leave and you may find you have a guard that is perfect. Take your time, using the mirror and comb to keep checking before you trim. Often using the clipper in a downward motion allows you more control as you are going with the hair growth.”
In addition, make sure your trimmer can handle thicker facial hair without breaking a sweat. Something like the Philips Series 9000 Prestige, which has an integrated metal comb and sensor for checking hair density, is ideal.
“Using the guards that come with the trimmers, find your optimal length that suits your beard," says Mills. "Do this with the guard off the trimmer so you can use it as a guide. If you are unsure, start longer and see how you go, as you can always go closer.”
As you'll be making larger, sweeping cuts into your facial hair, you want a trimmer that can move and flex along the contours of your face, as well as sharp blades to cut the shorter hair and stubble. Many options, like the King C. Gillette, come with a wet razor to tidy up any leftover gristle once you've passed over with your trimmer, so we recommend one of these.
For general beard-trimming advice Jordan Armstrong has got you covered. “For medium to longer beards, start by brushing your beard out. Then, with your clipper or beard trimmer, and without any attachments, start at the bottom of the beard and cut to your desired length,” he says. "Next, create the rest of the shape (e.g. square or rounded, taking off all unwanted strays on the way.) A good technique is to always go with the grain, especially when fading out the sides. Flip your trimmer or clipper over so the blade faces down, and cut downwards with a light flick outwards at the end of each stroke for a smooth blend, switching to shorter settings closer to the ear, to avoid taking too much off.
“When cleaning up neck hair, a finger-width above the Adam's apple is a great starting point. With your machine upside down, use the blade to make a crisp line, and take off any remaining hair underneath. A moustache is slightly trickier – tuck the teeth of a comb underneath the hair (with the teeth facing upwards above the upper-lip), and slowly cut above the comb until you reach your desired length.”
It's not all fun and games though, as there's a lot to be said about hygiene. Mills says, “Keep the clippers clean and you may have to give them a quick brush during the process, also let the trimmer do the work and don’t rush the process. Look after your trimmer and always check the blades are aligned.”
So how do you clean them? Mills tells us, “The best and most hygienic way is to first use a small bristle brush (most sets come with one) and then a sterilising spray such as clippercide. This keeps the blades lubricated and clean and should be done after each use really to keep the clippers at the optimum. If they are chargeable keep them topped up and be careful not to drop them as the blades will get damaged and need to be reset in position.”
Beard trimmers do exactly what you’d expect: they trim down your beard using adjustable guards and comb attachments that ensure clean, even beard lengths for a smarter look. Multi-groomers work in the same way but also have different attachments for tackling other body hair from head to toe, without risking any nefarious cuts that might otherwise ruin your day. Many people opt for a multi-groomer to keep bathroom cabinet clutter to a minimum. Multigroomers are essentially improved body hair trimmers
However, we'd recommend having a body trimmer for your body hair and one for your beard – we're sure we don't have to explain the hygiene issues with using the same razor everywhere on your body, so it's worth expanding your grooming arsenal with the right gear.
There’s no denying that cleaning a sink after trimming your beard is the worst part of the whole process, but there is an alternative. All cordless trimmers and multi-groomers are waterproof, allowing you to use them in the shower for an instant, easily washable clean-up. Having said that, there are a few things to consider, such as using an anti-fog mirror so you can see what you’re doing and ensuring that trimmer blades are patted dry after each use.
Neat stubble can be tricky to achieve if you haven’t got a suitable precision trimmer. Ideally, you want one that offers a very close, precise shave, which means you’re looking at spending a little more money for trimmers with a multitude of precision length settings. Alternatively, you can spend less on a trimmer with separate guard attachments, which will be cheaper than an adjustable one, although it’ll take up more room in your travel bag/cupboard.
If you like to keep an eye on your budget before you pull the trigger on a purchase, you should be concerning yourself with how much money you should be spending to get the quality you need. Down at the bottom of the pile, trimmers under £40 are decent for a trip aboard or for managing chin tufts if you're not so engaged with shaping, precision trimming or particularly long hair. Options like the Philips OneBlade are sensationally good at this price, offering decent cutting ability at affordable costs.
For those who can spend a little more – between £50 and £100 – there's another level of utility available. Options like the Panasonic ER-GB86 or the Philips Series 9000 Prestige are your best bet around this cost, with superb cutting capabilities, long-lasting batteries and weighty, ergonomic handles to make it all smoother. These ones will also more likely be waterproof so you can trim and shave in the shower or bath.
At GQ, we're dedicated to ensuring you look and feel your absolute best, so we've gone to many lengths to test, assess and recommend only the best gadgets, gear and products that are going to help you along that journey to grooming nirvana. To get your beard under control, we'll point you in the direction of our roundup of the best Philips beard trimmers, before guiding you to our many individual reviews of the top-end products we absolutely love, like the Philips Series 9000 Prestige, the Panasonic Multishape, the Philips OneBlade 360 Pro or the Panasonic ER-GB86.
If it's a hair clipper or a spot of nose hair trimming you're after, we've also got you covered, or anyone looking to manage their teeth should head over to our electric toothbrush and water flosser guides.
Keeping the beard trimmed and tidy is only one part of the job. The rest of it is keeping it supple, clean and shaped in just the right way. Taking good care of your beard outside of trimming it will ensure you don't need to keep cutting it down, helping you grow it longer, faster, but it's also good for the skin underneath, eliminating the risk of spots or dry skin.
We'd recommend washing your beard before you give it a good trim, using a rich lather that suits your skin type. Similar to your head hair, it's worth holding out a few days between properly shampooing and conditioning your beard, as your face's natural oils won't have a chance to clear our the dead skin if you wash it too frequently. Depending on the length, once every few days should be good enough.
However, what you can do every day is add a beard oil to your beard. This will encourage the facial pores to help out with the natural oils to stop it from becoming coarse and scratchy, while also making it easier to manipulate into shape. Simply add a small amount of a scented oil (though make sure it doesn't have any alcohol in it) and push it through your beard hair. A useful tool to help out with this is a proper beard comb to tease it through evenly.
So you're keen to start taking care of your beard? Why stop there? There's a whole world of men's grooming and self care to explore, and if you're the adventurous type, you may want to see what's out there.

We liked: Big battery | Plenty of attachments | One of the most comprehensive trimmers We didn't like: Pricey
There’s something extremely appealing about the stainless-steel body of the Philips Series 9000 Prestige beard trimmer. Say what you like about the lightweight plastic alternatives and their relative manoeuvrability, we’ll take this kind of quality finish at the cost of a little extra weight any day of the week. In other words, there's an added heft and class to proceedings when you're shaping up those follicles. Throughout testing, the Philips 9000 delivered the best results on the regular, providing a suitably quick and painless morning grooming routine that our local barber could be proud of.
Given its sturdiness, it was unfazed by the busiest facial hair, slicing through our fuzz with confidence, even if we left it to grow out for a few weeks. This power is mostly thanks to the “Steel Precision” tech incorporated into its sturdy integrated metal comb, and a sensor that’ll intuitively check hair density and adapt the motor accordingly to maintain consistency and power.
It can also go the distance if you're particularly finicky about finessing your edges. Two hours saw us through the longest of sessions and, given that it comes with only one additional attachment (and can also spread its blades across 30 cutting lengths) it's a proper solid travel companion, too.

We liked: Multiple attachments for cleaning teeth, shaving, clipping hair and trimming nose and ear hair | Long-lasting battery We didn't like: Weak-ish motor
Got too many grooming gadgets in the bathroom cabinet? Looking for a way to cut down on the absurd amount of stuff you have to pack to keep a sharp-looking beard on a trip? Panasonic's Multishape is a brilliant travel-friendly trimmer that comes with a multitude of heads to help you cope with your entire grooming routine. Combining an electric toothbrush, beard trimmer, razor, nose and ear hair trimmer all in one go, you'll never need another grooming gadget again.
It's a monumentally versatile tool for grooming, with a weeks-long battery, a quick pop-clutch lock to easily swap out the heads, and replacements that are affordable and easy to get hold of once you've been using it for a while. We've tested this one, and suffice to say it's one of our favourite beard trimmers of the year, happily jumping between your various grooming tasks with all the vigour of a hungry Chihuahua.

We liked: Comprehensive collection of hair-trimming tools | Travel lock We didn't like: Fairly expensive | There are multiple Braun alternatives for a cheaper price
Yes, there are many (seriously, loads) of Braun devices designed to help you maintain hair across your face, head and body, and in most cases you can’t go wrong with any of them, so your choice is probably going to come down to price. If you can squeak to the higher price points, Braun’s Series 9 Beard Trimmer is one of the best options available.
Why? It’s a complete package with 11 additional barbering tools that quickly transform you into a hair-cutting pro. From a precision edge trimmer that unlocks minute detail trimming to the broad range of hair clipper heads, there’s not really a beard-trimming issue this device can’t handle.
It also comes with a wet razor to eliminate even the shortest stubble, and it’s got a marathon-length battery of more than three hours, so there’s really no excuse to leave any unwanted whips untouched.
We liked: Well-equipped | Completely waterproof We didn't like: Pricey
If you're looking for a way to level up your beard-trimming skills and don't want to spend a huge sum of money on various combs, guides and accessories, then check out Wahl's Cordless clipper. Don't underestimate the affordable price tag, it's a comprehensive tool basket full of great grooming accessories to have you tidying up your beard –of any length– nose hair, ear hair and then tend to your eye brow hair all from the same device.
The sheer volume of helpful accessories that come with this device are staggering, helping you slice through unwanted hair of almost any length with ease and precision. While we could argue that 60 minutes of juice is a bit lacklustre, it can still cope with your most pressing follicle issues in one charge, and it even comes with a cleaning brush and some oil to lather up the blades to keep them sharp and clean.
We liked: USB-C charging | Low maintenance t-blade | Waterproof We didn't like: Expensive compared to some rivals
We’re pretty sure Darth Vader never needed to shave, for numerous reasons. But if he did, we’d like to imagine he had a device similar to The Beard Hedger. Dressed to impress and slathered in an all-black suit, it’s the little details like the two-tone finish, vertical stripes, and chevron accents that elevate it from a mere beard trimmer to a device you’d proudly leave out on your bathroom shelf. Looks aside, it’s a proper performer too, with a specially designed titanium-coated t-blade that will slice through stubble for years to come, without a single drop of blade oil ever needed. Throw in USB-C charging and a waterproof build for extra convenience, and you’ve got yourself a top-performing, beard trimmer with the build quality to match.
We liked: Top choice for stubble trimming | Flexible head makes it easy to shave jawline and chin We didn't like: Won't cope with beards longer than a few millimetres
Not all of us can grow a good beard that tickles our knees, but if you’re just looking to maintain a bit of stubble then Babyliss’ iStubble razor is an excellent choice. It won’t do a lot if you want to experiment with different beard styles, but keeping things cropped nice and close to your jaw is where it excels, with a flexible razor head that moves and repositions based on the contours of your face. In fact, if you're perfectly content with rocking the sculpted stubble look, this is likely one of the best options around. That's because of its comparatively less bulky head, coupled with its built-in pivot joints for added manoeuvrability, work together to pick up even elusive strands of shorter hair.
Overall, it's a simple bit of kit compared to some of the other offerings on our list, and it doesn't come with a plethora of extra heads and accessories like most of its rivals. Nor is it waterproof. And it's not particularly cheap either. But it's a specialist tool that doesn't need any of those other extras to do what it excels at, and 60 minutes of use per charge, coupled with a built-in display, earn it bonus points too. A top pick for daily or bi-weekly trims of shorter beards and stubble, but don't expect it to slice through anything longer than a centimetre or two.
We liked: Compact and light | Charging dock We didn't like: May take you longer to trim larger, thicker beards
Philips OneBlade series has won the hearts of many beard owners over the years, but it has truly reached its peak with the Pro edition. Its light build, easy manoeuvrability, and superb shaving experience all make for a top-tier shaver/trimmer that's perfect for travelling.
Throughout testing, we were impressed with how easily the Pro was to slice through unwanted follicles, so long as your beard doesn't grow beyond stubble length. In fact, we'd argue that the OneBlade's party trick is cultivating a sharp edge, even if you're not particularly experienced at shaping godly growth.
This Pro offering improves upon the original by introducing a sleek all-black build, a built-in screen to let you know how much charge is left, and a handy charging dock for hassle-free top-ups. This set also includes a beard, face, stubble trimmer and body styler attachments, making it incredibly versatile too. As mentioned up top, it's a solid companion on your travels, with a hard-shell case to stop it from buzzing in your bag or spreading dead hair in your toothbrush.

We liked: Light and manoeuvrable | Close trim We didn't like: Blades need replacing
While a neon green aesthetic won't be for everyone, we've become quite fond of the OneBlade's signature look. At the very least, it'll easily let you find it in even the most cavernous of dim toiletry bags, and it's not like you'll be showing it off in the big wide world.
If you’re in need of a trimmer for your travels, then this really is a killer choice. You can easily squeeze it into a wash bag, it's well-honed for holiday touch-ups, and it handles well despite its diminutive size. Just be sure to take its charger with you as well, you'll get 45 minutes of usage before needing to top the thing up again. Sadly, the charging cable is a proprietary affair, so be sure not to lose it. Replacement heads are available for when the original loses its lustre.
Read GQ's Philips OneBlade review
We liked: Great bang for your buck | Ergonomic design | Sturdy, long-lasting chassis We didn't like: Proprietary charging cable
With a six-position comb (capable of trimming your beard from 0.5-13mm), three close trim combs, a stand, brush, and beard oil, Wahl’s trimmer kit is offering a ludicrous amount for its extremely palatable asking price. The trimmer body itself isn’t an ugly piece of plastic either, with a smart chrome/black finish that will stand proudly on the included base. USB charging would be the icing on the cake, but alas, you’ll have to make do with a non-typical charger. Still, at this price, there’s very little to complain about.
We liked: Vacuum chamber for a tidier trim | Detail blade | Can also be used corded We didn't like: Design won’t be for everyone
Tired of littering your printing bathroom sink with stubble sprinkles? Enter Remington’s clever vacuum-toting beard trimmer, which will happily suck up loose renegade hair to drastically minimise the post-shave cleanup. If you can get past its rather vibrant black/green colour (we don’t hate it but would have preferred more muted tones), then it could be your new best beard-trimming friend. An included detail blade lets you tend to more intricate areas, while its ability to be used while plugged in makes it a godsend for those of us who are forever forgetting to charge our devices.
We liked: Skin-safe blades | Great value when combined with the razor and cream | Ergonomic design | Waterproof We didn't like: Short-ish battery
Ostensibly a body groomer that can quite easily masquerade as a beard trimmer, Gillette's latest Intimate range has the same form factor and a similar design theme to Braun's all-in-one trimmers that can bounce between trimming your chest hair to trimming your jawline. However, the selling point here is the skin-safe blades that treat your skin with the kindness and respect it deserves.
The blades themselves gently life the hair away from your skin, slicing them as close to, but not touching, the skin for a smooth, clean shave that doesn't tug on the follicles and give you nasty burns and nicks.
We've tested this particular razor ourselves, and don't have a single bad thing to report back on, having shaved and trimmed chin hair and body hair in the shower with zero issues.
We'd definitely recommend combining the i5 trimmer with the wet razor and shaving foam for optimal results, as you can get an incredibly detailed, close shave with rehydrated, glowing skin once you're done.

We liked: Travel-friendly | USB-C recharging | Cheaper than £20 We didn't like: A bit thin for bigger hands
First we had Boss Baby, now we have Barberboss. This particular pencil-sized beard-trimming tool is a dinky and portable yet powerful enough to complete the more pressing grooming dilemmas you may have.
The thin handle is ridged to keep it firmly in hand as you shave, and it has a wealth of comb options depending on the length you’re after. It’s also USB-C recharging and less than £20, which is wonderful news to our bank account.
We liked: Simple | Easy to grip | Multiple trimmer heads We didn't like: Very basic | Not very premium | Short battery
Remington’s Heritage may be diminutive but don’t let it dissuade you from testing out its hair-trimming credentials, as it’s one of the best available for shaving and detailing on the go. Looking like a tape cassette from the 90’s, its small form lends itself to agile shaving; ideal, as it’s supremely well equipped for detailing and precision trimming thanks to the thin foil blade and multiple guiding combs.
fiber laser engraver Sure, the battery life is on the low side, and its low price point results in a low-quality build, but if you’ve got a trip coming up and you're hoping to look your best, the Heritage has your back, jawline and any other hairy areas completely covered.
