It's perfect for keeping a beard well groomed, it can handle stubble but it's not a close as a double-edge razor. It does come with 3 attachments that can help with length.

Yea I think so. It gets pretty close for a trimmer it would work well to shape the edges of a beard. I feel like I remember it coming with guards too (so you can trim the length of the beard) but I did buy it a while ago so I might be mistaken.

The Echo gets about as close as you can get with a trimmer type device, and at about 0.4 mm that's pretty close. I use this trimmer for keeping my beard at a five o'clock shadow level, so it depends on how close is close enough for you. I think only a foil shaver will cut closer, for electric type devices.

With the attachements it works quite well. Three hair length choices. Direct application of the trimmer without attachments not recommended for a full beard trim or elsewhere, though good for sideburns trim and tight areas around the nose. I've been very pleased with mine. Especially like the fact it is quieter than most trimmers; there are losts of complaints about noise with this type of trimmer. See amazon reviews of line. Good luck, Paulo.

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.

My opinion as a guy who used to have a -close-to-the-face- beard: No. Beard maintenance is best accomplished with scissors. The outline/around the edges trimming can be done with the pop-up trimmer but even then I always followed it up with a blade.

It's good for that..just maneuver carefully. It leaves barely visible stubble but it's short & smooth enough that, considering this is an electric *trimmer* and you don't have to break out the shaving cream and an actual scary blade, it's very close 2nd place, unless you need to be totally bald.

It can, but it will not be a close shave. You will have stubble, about 1/8 cm long. No one will notice, but you will feel it if you rub your hand over it. For me, this has been a great product, though.

The Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D comes with an "integrated precision trimmer". On the box it says it is perfect for shaping and trimming "moustache and sideburns." However, the instruction book says the trimmer can be used for beard, moustache or sideburns. My husband doesn't have a beard, so I can not testify how well the trimmer works with a beard.

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.

My suspicion is no. It's not a really good shaver. I regret buying it. It gets the job done...eventually. I need to use the trimmer function constantly to get the long ones. Short stubble is easy with this thing, but if you miss a couple of days expect ten to 13 minutes shaving. You might be better off paying more for a shaver with a bigger blade IMHO.

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.

Hi, I bought this product and after charging it and while i was reading the instructions, I noticed that i bought the wrong one. I need one for shaving, not for body grooming. I would like to know if I can replace it for one to shave my beard. The only thing is the receipt wasnt in the box, but i can attach the email from amazon. Thank you so much for your comprehension.

I don't use it for trimming my mustache, but it could. I have a different trimmer that seems to fit my hand better for this, slightly less blade width. Does that help?

I'm sorry to be truculent. But, this product, while billed for beards and such, is ultimately simply for cutting hair. Did you suspect it might shut down or light fires if it approached hair *not* on your face?

I think it may depend on how long you want it to work well--facial hair is tougher on blades than the rest of your body hair is, so you'll just dull the blade extra fast. There are plenty of shavers made for facial and head hair if that's what you're looking for, and I think they'll do a better job for you.

I was about to buy this but then I went to phillips' website and found out that they have a trimmer specifically for stubble, you can get it here Philps Norelco QT4021 Stubble Trimmer

The clipper portion will allow you to shape a beard, but trimming a beard with this will likely yield disastrous results. I don't currently wear a beard but have had them often.
