Much like the hair on the top of your head, beards require some TLC (trimmer loving care). After all, there’s only one Gandalf, and his approach to facial hair doesn’t slip easily into many 21st-century looks.

You can style a beard for different seasons, different growth patterns, and different face shapes, but whether you mix up your face fur or stick to one style, you’re going to need a beard trimmer to get the job done.

Most modern trimmers are built to tackle all hair types, so you needn’t spend a fortune to achieve a fresh-out-the-chair look. Additionally, ownership gives you full creative control, allowing you to achieve bolder looks without leaving your own bathroom.

The options are barbershop-worthy, too: trimmers now come in all shapes and forms, from low-tech numbers that just get the job done to machines that look like they were designed by Q Branch, with built-in lasers and vacuums.
