Can you trim a close-to-the-face beard with it? If so, how?

My opinion as a guy who used to have a -close-to-the-face- beard: No. Beard maintenance is best accomplished with scissors. The outline/around the edges trimming can be done with the pop-up trimmer but even then I always followed it up with a blade.

Yes, gives a very close cut after removing the trimmer attachment. Also very agile for outlining between beard and close shave areas, even in the hard-to-reach and close areas.

I do use it on my face (trim the beard), I use the #0 extension and it is a little hard to get the hair directly under the nose. I have to cut them with a scissor to even it out, but that is the only part I find difficult. It is definitely wider then the clippers designed for beards, but I have no problem using it.

If you are going to let it grow out, you will definitely want to use the trimmer side first to take your beard down and then use the foil side for a nice clean shave. The trimmer side does a pretty good job of bringing it into a manageable length for the foil side. It will take a bit more time with the trimmer side than if you were to use actual hair trimmers. This will do the job for sure but maybe not as quick as you might want it to. I hate shaving too and this has been one of the best that I have used and I still love it. Definitely keep it clean and it will keep your face happy. Hope this helps!!

Probably not, though it gives a close shave, I do not think it would be close enough. But facial hair is thicker, so it may work.

Depends on your DNA which determines your beard's hair pattern. I feel it is best to get your hair to stand up. Wash your face to remove oils and irritants, dry it completely, then shave moving the electric shaver in a method that shaves you best. Don't apply to much pressure, you will only wear out the screen. When you have your closest shave possible with the electric shaver if you're not satisfied, finish up with a standard blade shaver with the moisture strips on it. You can get a great or very close shave. I do the above in the shower including drying my face as it is more comfortable for me. You will also want to pull or manipulate your skin to help your hairs stand up. If you use shaving cream or even water while shaving with the electric shaver, you may not get as close of a shave, but it will be a more comfortable shave. Beard pattern dictates your shaving style. Additionally, your desire for a close shave determines how hard you will work at it. My wife really appreciates the close shave I get. Against the grain usually gives the best shave. In a half in area you could have hair growing in many different directions. When you're tired of fighting it with the electric break out the standard. I never use shaving cream period. Did I answer your question in a word or less?

it's very easy just to pull off the adjustable guide first, then just pull the blade part off. Simply push it back in after cleaning. I was hoping this unit would be able to trim my moustache. But the adjustable guide doesn't work for finer beards. It does have a small trimmer that helps.

Yes....it works so great and can be adjusted.I used a screw driver to do that and tried it on my beard when done...very user friendly

I'd say the longest this can cut to with the guard is a half inch. Anything longer and I feel you'd need to get something that has a much larger guard. Mostly this is for trimming a short beard/keeping stubble.

Yes, you shouldn't have any problems. However I actually recommend using the beard trimmer; the body grooming head tends to shave much too close and the trimming edges can snag very easily. I find that using this head causes razor bumps 99% of the time, so your best bet is using the beard trimmer and then maybe the close shave head if you want.

It works great on my beard. I'm growing mine out and I use this to trim it every few weeks to keep it even. The directions recommend not rushing, use smooth, gentle movements and trimming from multiple directions.

Rub it in at the base (your face) of the beard, then work it through the rest of it and leave it in.

On the upper side of the shaver, there is a "trimmer," which flips open and shut. It is pretty neat and effective, even for trimming the stray extended hairs from mustache and goatee. Or wherever. I would still have something sharp to make a clean cut off at the demarkation line if I were heading for a wedding or a job interview. Greetings, JohnW

Yes, you can use it as a beard trimmer. I have to say, The one I bought stopped working recently, so I threw it away. I would not buy another one.

Mine has a trimmer, but I don't have facial hair. I use it for touch up trimming. I'm not sure how well it would work on a beard.

The foil razor can't, but there is a little trimmer that can. However, the trimmer is around 1"wide, so it could be time consuming unless your cuting a few stray hairs. The thing I like about it is it cuts my normal beard better than the 3 series razor that I spent more money on? Go figure. Hope that helps!

Yes it can be used for trimming beards as long as you have all of the different length clipper guards. It only comes with the 000 blade so you will need to purchase the necessary blades/guards that you might need
