It works great on my beard. I'm growing mine out and I use this to trim it every few weeks to keep it even. The directions recommend not rushing, use smooth, gentle movements and trimming from multiple directions.

Within my experience of using it, I can only say it's perfect for trimming beards

The shaver only has a traditional sideburn trimmer that can be used to neat'n up a scraggly beard or moustache. You can't "comb" out a long beard to shorten or manage it. You will want a small moustache trimmer with attachable cutting combs of various lengths. That is usually a fifteen dollar, battery operated shaver available anywhere grooming products are sold. I just bought a Wahl beard trimmer at Kmart for twelve dollars (with 3 beard combs) the same day my Braun arrived from Amazon.

Yes, you can use it as a beard trimmer. I have to say, The one I bought stopped working recently, so I threw it away. I would not buy another one.

It won't "SHAVE" you, but it will give a very close trim with either of the heads. The smaller head is great for getting into tight places with "detailed" accuracy. The 2 guides are usable for hair, beards, or mustaches. I'm enjoying mine - greatly.

I've used it after not shaving for three or four days, and it worked fine for that. But, if you have a long beard, I'm not really sure. My guess is you would have to trim that down.

it's very easy just to pull off the adjustable guide first, then just pull the blade part off. Simply push it back in after cleaning. I was hoping this unit would be able to trim my moustache. But the adjustable guide doesn't work for finer beards. It does have a small trimmer that helps.

I do use it on my face (trim the beard), I use the #0 extension and it is a little hard to get the hair directly under the nose. I have to cut them with a scissor to even it out, but that is the only part I find difficult. It is definitely wider then the clippers designed for beards, but I have no problem using it.

Yes it can be used for trimming beards as long as you have all of the different length clipper guards. It only comes with the 000 blade so you will need to purchase the necessary blades/guards that you might need

The beard trimmer not recommended for heavy beard trimming. Trimmer is made of light plastic. My trimmer broke 6 months after purchase.

This is respond from my husband: " This trimmer works great for trimming beards to 3/64ths inch to inches long. It does not come with a comb that would go up to 1 inches. For a longer goatee, I would detach the comb and use it freehand." hope that helps.

I am sorry I can't help you regarding the usefulness of using the brush on a beard. It is a really nice brush for hair, but I think beards are a bit tougher.

You can trim a beard but you will not get a close shave. It's not meant for that purpose.

My beard is not very long so hard to say. It's adjustable and if you use the included comb with the longest setting you get about 3/4" length in the direction of growth or about 1/2" against the grain. If your beard is longer than that, you'll be manually trimming. I do that sometimes, and didn't find any trouble with it. HTH.

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.

Yeah, it would work well as a beard trimmer. It's a good blade. It just has a serious design flaw in the case, so be gentle when extending it.

I purchased BG2030 trimmer from Amazon in 2010 for $47.99. They obviously realized people were will to pay far more. As for the trimmer, it is fantastic and that includes the trimming of facial hair. That is, if you want to knock down a beard before shaving or if you're into the two day growth look. I believe there insistence that it not be used for facial hair reflects their desire to sell products specifically designed, and marketed, for that purpose.

The trimmer is light and very maneuverable. I, myself, keep a longer beard (about 1.5''), and it has been fairly easy to maintain the exact length I want.
