Silvercrest Cordless Hair & Beard Trimmer

Product Information

All the trimmers we've tested so far have passed our splash and waterproof tests, and they work after the drop test. Ease of use

Sometimes there are multiple sets in the same series of beard trimmer. The trimmer will be the same across these sets – you're just getting different accessories. If you don't need them, you may be able to shave a little off your budget by going for a cheaper set that has fewer accessories. We also use a Cambridge Simulation glove, which allows the wearer to empathise with those who have hand mobility issues such as arthritis, to assess each trimmer. Use the trimmer without a comb to style your beard edges and remove stray hairs. Some trimmers come with a detail trimmer attachment, which is designed to make this part of the task easier. Most beard trimmers are accurate, but consistency varies. On average, most cut within 0.5mm of the chosen setting. The best beard trimmers cut almost all the bristles in our 'quality of trim' test to the same length, while the worst ones there were a mix between under and overcut bristles. As its name suggests, the trimmer is waterproof so you can use it in the shower and rinse it under the tap to clean it. The Aqua Blade comes with a carry case, too, and lasts an impressive three hours between charges, so if you’ve remembered to charge before you go away, you shouldn’t need to take a charger with you on holiday.

All trimmers are noisy, but some are noticeably louder. We find higher-pitched trimmers more irritating to listen to while using them. Some are noisy enough that you cannot hear whether your hair is, or isn't, being cut. Being able to hear this is useful because you can tell if you’ve got all the hair. What's the difference between a hair clipper and a trimmer? Our testers rate every trimmer for how comfortable it is to hold, how easy it is to adjust and read the cutting length, and how easy it is to change the trimmer's combs and heads. Some trimmers have stronger blades. These could glide through soft and hard bristles in our 'quality of trim' test. Others couldn't cut the hard, dense bristles. The SilverCrest SHBS 500 D3 is a beard trimmer designed to provide precision grooming and styling for men. Made by SilverCrest, a reputable brand in personal care appliances, this trimmer offers a range of features to meet users' grooming needs.

While they essentially do the same job, a hair clipper is designed for cutting long hair and full beards, whereas a trimmer is designed for cutting and styling shorter hair. Having said that, all of the models featured here let you remove the comb to gain access to the blade itself for a close trim (usually closer than the listed minimum trimming length). However, not all models are waterproof so with these, you will likely need to remove the comb and then use the supplied brush to clean the trimmer. Most, but not all trimmers require you to oil their blades from time to time. If this is the case, the trimmer will come with the appropriate oil in the box. How about battery life? Detail or edge trimmer A smaller trimmer head to make finishing touches. You can use it to neaten up beard lines, trim sideburns, a goatee or your moustache. Battery life after a five-minute charge varies dramatically. From 10 seconds all the way to over 20 minutes. If you travel a lot, getting one with a great battery will make your routine easier and less stressful. Foil shaver Use if you want a particularly close shave. It uses oscillating blades that sit under a mesh cover.Hair/body hair combs Combs that usually cut to a longer length, designed for clipping the hair on your head or other parts of the body.

The main unit comes with two hair cutting guards – 1-10mm for short hair and 11-20mm for longer hair – and the cutting length can then be adjusted in tiny increments by using the built-in dial. This is a fantastically useful multi-functional tool that powered through beard hair without any problem and was an absolute dream to hold. We loved the sleek design and the matt finish, and it really feels like it’s been built to last. So if how a gadget looks and feels is as important to you as how well it performs, this is the grooming tool for you. Furthermore, this beard trimmer boasts a sleek and modern appearance, adding a touch of sophistication to any grooming routine. It is designed to be easy to clean and maintain, with detachable parts that can be easily rinsed under running water. More manuals of Beard Trimmers Frequently Asked Questions about SilverCrest SHBS 700 A1 Beard TrimmerOur testers rate each trimmer for how it trims their facial hair, how smooth and easy to manoeuvre each trimmer is on the moustache, side of their face and on the chin, and if they irritate the skin. If you like your gadgets hi-tech and flashy, this digital beard trimmer is the one. It offers a great range of lengths – from 0.4mm to 5mm – which can be adjusted in 0.2mm increments, making it a great trimmer if you place a premium on precision. The digital display shows exactly what length you’re using, which is handy for preventing cutting mishaps (anyone who’s used a beard trimmer will be familiar with those). As a bonus, it can even remember what cutting length you last used. In truth, that’s more of a fun feature than an essential one, but the battery life display is genuinely useful, showing you how many minutes of cutting time you have left.
