I like to keep a goatee around 1"-1.5" long and the rest of my beard around 0.25"-0.5". Does this trimmer contain guides that would satisfy my needs?

Yes! My boyfriend keeps his facial hair at a similar length using this trimmer. The only thing it's not great at is getting a close shave.

Depending on the length of your beard.. I would STRONGLY advise against this trimmer.. Trims beard uneven... Don't buy.

This shaver is an intimate and body trimmer and not designed for the beard. I am using a Braun cruZer6 for beard and ears. Also, it can be used for head haircuts. The two together can let the gentleman care for just about all areas. The only thing missing is for us Neanderthals who have hair inside our ear canals that we need to conquer. Recommendation? Spring for this one and a beard trimmer.

This trimmer is great for cutting in small areas like a goatee or mustache. It's very small and powerful.

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.

I keep a buzzcut to 1/8 an inch. it grows out for 3 to 4 weeks and then I cut it. Use it to trim my beard also

Well you could trim the larger area, but you may have a little trouble around the nose area. you will still have to use a razor to get that sharp look that beards require.

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.

Mine has a trimmer, but I don't have facial hair. I use it for touch up trimming. I'm not sure how well it would work on a beard.

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.

Just 1, 2, and 3. I have another trimmer with cut length adjustable via a slide, and that doesn't have precise dimensions, either... just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I think they're just trying to keep things simple. Try the longest length first, and if that's not short enough, go to the next size shorter, etc. I should also mention there is a length "0" also... take the comb off completely, and it's great for edging.

I use it to cut my hair to about one quarter of an inch and trim my beard it works good and I am sure it will do what you need.

Yes it does. I also have a beard and a mustache and this trimmer has 3 different guides and two trimming heads. Works great.

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.

It will work with the appropriate power converter. It will be a tough go to shave a whole beard if it is of any length. I have to push hard on the trimmer just to shave off 1/2 inch.......Had another brand no longer made and it trimmed with no problem even in one cut on 2-3" beard so I tried this one and only found it easy to trim 1/4 inch without pushing on my 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 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.
