Product Information

Our testers praised the wide assortment of accessories and premium design, saying it was ‘slick and comfortable against the face, easy to manoeuvre and light to hold, without any itchiness or discomfort.

The attachment combs on clippers are generally marked by grade to make choose the correct cutting easier.When you use an electric shaver as a part of your daily routine, blades and foils will naturally wear with use. The head pivoted and adjusted well to my face’s contours and I felt confident sharpening up the lines, thanks to the 4D blade design that means it can cut your hair speedily from four different angles. The packaging for this unit boasts that its Extreme Precision Blade cuts 60 per cent closer than Wahl’s standard blade.

However, unlike the pair of blades at the other end, this one does not have rounded teeth, so it will cut the skin if you use it without the guard. Some like them blended and subtle, some like them so sharp and neat you could get a paper cut from them. This is one of the slimmer, sleeker beard trimmers, which immediately appear more modern than the more familiar, fat ones of old. So far it looks like a winner and it actually is in most regards, so let’s see what makes the Bodygroom 7000 one of the better trimmers in 2024. I think it’s too expensive, the replacement blade is pricy as well and it must be changed every 3 months.Genuinely groundbreaking, it’s an electric hybrid styler, with a two-sided blade allows you to shave in any direction and this upgraded model features a blade that moves in all directions, allowing you to reach difficult bits with fewer passes. The series 9 is still by far the best thing I've ever used for head shaving, But we are talking about face here so that's a different story and I'll get back on topic. And like any precision-engineered tool, they need taking care of if they’re to perform at their best.

The Philips OneBlade is one of those grooming tools that you don’t think can be bettered until it is.That's why every product adorned with our Men's Health Lab logo undergoes an intensive evaluation by our panel of 200 men, who boast a diverse array of beard lengths and styles, over a two to three-week period. Most will come with guards of different sizes and some even have an integrated, adjustable guard (the latter is in my opinion more practical). Since the head of these trimmers has two rows of blades and it can work in either direction, you can also push it, but pushing it won’t be nearly as practical and effective.

Because of the narrowness of the blades, it’ll take you a little longer to get the job done but it still provides a perfectly serviceable haircut, while interchangeable heads allow you to trim your beard, shave, remove body hair and tackle errant ear and nose hair too. The unit itself is heavy-looking but actually quite light and it delivers a reliable, ultra-clean shave.It’s not washable and you do need to oil the blades, but as with many Wahl clippers, you get loads of useful haircutting accessories and, because the company builds things to last, an impressive five-year guarantee. Depends on each model battery life varies, for example, QP2520/30 has NIMH battery which lasts 45 minutes but needs eight-hour charging.
