How good does this razor work on thick beards? I have very thick hair and they grow in fast.

The Hoff is a great double edge razor for thick beards. We always recommend you trim a long beard down before fully shaving it off with The Hoff. This prevents the long hairs from being accidentally yanked off instead of shaved. Sincerely, David Lederman The Luxury Barber CS

I don't know, I know that after about a year the foil and cutting blades get dull and I have to make more passes to get a smooth shave. I would imagine that depending on how thick your beard is, and how much pressure you are putting on the blades as you are shaving could create accelerated wear.

Hi,The things that must be determined for this razor is your beard. My beard is of medium texture, not heavy, not light. I have found this razor to be the right combination for me. I also find it works best when my beard is short. It seems to have a bit of difficult with longer hairs. I have had this razor for over a year and a half and am very pleased with it performance.Hope this 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.

I use mine for 3 weeks for about probably 16 shaves. They can probably last longer and it depends how thick your beard comes in.

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

Yeah, works great and I have very thick hair. Pretty much a lifesaver- I spend so much less time on grooming because of this.

No, it's not adjustable. This razor seems to be pretty non-aggressive. Works great for me as my beard is not too thick. I seem to get lots more cuts with more aggressive razors. You will probably want a more aggressive or adjustable razor for a tougher beard.

Not as good as a razor, but pretty smooth all the same. My beard is not a heavy one though.

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.

It says in the instructions that beard hair is too dense. My brother is pretty hairy and I was going to recommend it to him to use on small area where his chest hair comes up over his t-shirt collar, because I know that bothers him. It's fairly painful, so I would recommend trying it on a small area and then see how it goes. It does take a few months at least. Hope that helps, good luck!

I've used it several times and it does not make my razor any better. I have a thick beard and nothing works as advertised.

I have pretty tough hair to shave and I change the blade once a week which is really good. I still am getting alot closer shave on days 5-6 than I typically got on day 1 from the cheapie disposable razors I was using before.

I have pretty thick hair myself and it does work but I really think my husbands philips actually works a lot better and it's easier just to shave for me.

I gotten up to 10, but then I switched to another brand of blades to try them. I think at about 10 for my beard was the limit. I've only returned to DE shaving since mid-December, and I've tried 4 different brands. The Feather and Wilkinson Sword seem best for my needs. I have friend who has been using DEs for decades, and he says he gets them to last a long time, but he did not define the length of time.

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 wold not recommend it. It is great for hair, but it is way to big and clunky for a beard trimmer. Phillips (and others) do beard trimmers which are 1/4 of the size, battery operated and can handle different "styles". This one is super powerful, but it would feel like trimming your beard with an chainsaw...
