The first step to a righteous beard? Grow one. Like, don’t touch your facial hair at all for several months. The second step—once you have enough length—trim it up. The first step is definitely the hardest, but the second comes with its own challenges. Whether you want a long, flowing beard or something shorter and cleaner, keeping your beard in shape ensures that it not only looks great, but your whiskers stay healthy.
But in order to do that, you need the proper tools. Namely, a beard trimmer. Most beard trimmers come with multiple length options that allow you to easily cut your beard to the exact length you want and shape it however you desire. The trick is, especially the first time you trim, to start longer than you think you’ll want. You can always cut it shorter, but if you go too short, your only option is to wait for it to grow.

Length possibilities are the most important part of choosing the right beard trimmer, but there are other things to consider as well. Like how coarse your beard is—if it’s very thick, you’ll need a more powerful trimmer. If you’re new to beards, you might want to go on the simpler side to make sure you get the hang of beard trimming before you invest. And if you’re a beard veteran, you may want to go with something more professional grade and fly without the protection of guards. Whatever you want in a beard trimmer, this list of the best will point you in the right direction.
The Best Beard Trimmers
Precision Power Beard, Mustache & Hair Trimmer
The reason we love this Men’s Health Grooming Award-winning trimmer so much is because it’s just so freaking easy to use. The adjustable dial allows you to toggle between 19 different length settings without switching attachments, allowing for a truly customized beard trimming experience. The powerful motor powers 9,8000 cuts per minute and the stainless steel blades slice through even the thickest whiskers like their butter.
Beard Trimmer
This budget-friendly trimmer is deceptively simple. There are three length combs—one for stubble, one for short beards and one for longer styles. While you don’t get the bells and whistles of some more expensive models, you still get 50 minutes of cordless trimming on a single charge and the ability to wash it under running water. It’s a high quality trimmer that won’t break the bank.
