Don't know anything about cutting beards --- we use ours for dog grooming!Don't see why it would not work ---- with a proper blade tho ! Might also want to use a guard to keep it uniform.

I have. I am a stylist and have used it for trimming beards many times. The reason I no longer use it is because the motor wore out in one year of very heavy use. However for daily maintenance of a beard, it would probably work fine. I did 22-30 cuts and trims a day. You will need attachments to trim a beard with this, and I believe they come along with it.

Yes, I have used them for beards. They are a little heavy to me and how big they are make they kind of hard to get some of they hair but they cut all hair good. Just be care if you use just the blades and not the gaurds the blades get very hot and you have to stop and spray them or wait for them to cool down

I recently got a pack of these to try. They are EXTREMELY sharp. They are so sharp, in fact, that you won't even feel it when they cut you. (weepers, nothing bad) That lasts for about 3 shaves. After that the shaves are close, comfortable and nick free. I got 45 three pass shaves out of my last blade. I fell a little tugging on 46 so I changed the blade. I probably could have done 50 if I pushed it.

I've been using my XR1370 for about 8 months on a daily basis and cutting heads are still working perfectly. To answer your question more comprehensively, there a a few variables to consider e.g. the nature of the beard, light, medium, heavy; how often one shaves; wet or dry (I started using my shaver dry then decided to try "wet" i.e. with shaving foam - gives a great shave!; cutter life also depends on how well you look after the shaver i.e. cleaning the cutting heads - I do on a daily basis rinsing out under the tap. Hope this helps. Remington recommend replacement about every 12 months and for me that will probably be about right - on previous Remington shavers I've had the heads last 15 months or more.

I have NOT. Having said that, I would guess that cutting one of these would be pretty difficult -- they are pretty thick/heavy duty.

I saw a video online. Some guy shaved his face with it. From what i recall, he says it works good.

I have such a beard compounded with the fact that the hairs on my neck grow in several directions. The 1290 does a superb job for my face, far better than Brauns or Panasonics. The sideburn areas are a bit challenging for rotary shavers, but they are FAR superior shave on heavy, multidirectional neck hairs. There is no such thing as the perfect razor or a single best razor for every face....ignore anyone or any site that suggests otherwise.

I shave with the Styliner II and they cut close without the bumps from in-grown hairs. Just keep them oiled and they should perform right out of the box.

Sure will. I don't have a real heavy beard but l get about a month out of a single blade. I use a triple edge razor so it took a little while to figure it out. Hope this helps.

Sorry I do not have a beard. Occasionally I will not shave for 3-4 days and when I use the Braun it shaves very well. I love the Braun

It might be too big for beard trimming, a smaller trimmer might be better. That said, it probably would work, but may not be the best choice for just beard trimming.

These will do the job for a short shadow beard but the Andis master is a better clipper. I would not spend that kind of money on the Andis Master if you're only going to use them for your beard.

They would probably do a good enough job on his head but not for line work on his beard. They are too bulky for line work and do not get close enough. But they are great from trimming and have worked well for me. They could do line work if they had to but I prefer something smaller like a peanut to do that.

I use a size 00000, 1 & 2 to trim my beard...Works great. The size 00000 brings it down to about a 5 o'clock shadow. The ceramic blade is quite sharp and hasn't needed sharpening in years.

Not sure I fully understand the question, but it does a great job of getting your beard shaved. I do not think that there will be much difference regarding a person's race or skin color, beard density and how coarse your beard hairs are will be the deciding factor. I find this cut my beard very close and does not chaff or pull the hairs when doing so. If you have a coarse beard I am sure it will meet the challenge without any difficulty. Hope this helps?

They are a highly regarded blade on the shaving forums and are relatively inexpensive. It comes in a paper box and doesn't take up hardly any space at all. I think your best bet is to get a sample pack so you can try a lot of different blades and see which ones you like and which one you don't before making a purchase of 100 blades. You would be surprised at what works for YOU and what doesn't.

Depends on how your beard and skin is, I think these are a little to close of a shave for stubble look and they aren't adjustable .. if your going for a stubble look, regular haircut clippers are definitely the way to go..

If your beard is not super wiry and you don't like your face being scratched it works. My boyfriend likes it but he has the finest, softest beard hair of any man I've met. He likes that it doesn't hurt his face skin. If your beard is more coarse/super thick, I'd recommend the Bass Brushes medium oval bristle, it has nylon synthetic bristles that go through coarser, stiffer hair.
