Choosing professional beard trimmers
For a thorough care of a beard and mustache, men need modern functional electrical appliances, namely, trimmers. You can use them at home or use the services of barbers. In any case, it is better to give preference to the use of professional devices both at home and in salons.
There is a myth that professional trimmers are many times more expensive than household trimmers, but this is a misconception: a wide range is presented in different price segments.
Peculiarities
A professional trimmer has the same features as a household trimmer:
- correction of the shape and length of the beard and mustache;
- hair cutting to the required length;
- daily shaving of the stubble;
- hair thinning;
- removal of unwanted facial hair.
Unlike a household appliance, a professional beard trimmer has a number of advantages.
- Long service life. Manufacturers of professional trimmers create models for everyday use from high quality materials, so that regular long-term use of such models is not scary.
- High quality sharpening of the blade and all attachments. The precision and sharpness of the blade greatly facilitates the process and makes it many times more pleasant both for independent use and for use in salons.
- Large battery capacity provides autonomous operation for 50-60 minutes, and the charging time will be no more than 2 hours.
- Variety of modes and attachments will allow not only to cut hairs, but also to perfectly model a beard and mustache.
So, the main difference between a professional trimmer and a household shaving machine is high quality and flawless results.
Model overview
Modern manufacturers offer a huge selection of beard and mustache trimmers that have convenient features. Let's consider the most popular ones.

How to choose?
In order to choose the best hairdressing cutter, you need to understand what criteria you should pay attention to.
- Type of food. Power can be from the mains, battery or hybrid. The latter option allows you to use the device both from an outlet and autonomously, which, of course, is the most preferable. Autonomous work does not exceed 40-50 minutes, but this is quite enough for the procedure. When choosing, determine which option will be more convenient for working in a salon or at home.
