BaByliss for Men Super Stubble and Beard Trimmer 7898U

I have had a Babyliss stubble trimmer for nearly 5 years, but when it gave up the ghost, I thought I would try a different brand and bought a Wahl based on the Amazon reviews. It was useless and I returned it and bought Babyliss again. This shaver cuts from 0.4mm to 5mm. The angle of the head gives as even a shave as you will get from any stubble trimmer. The charge time is quick and you really do get a good hour out of a single charge which means you can go away for a week and not worry. The travel lock function is useful. I have had an electric toothbrush loose all its charge when it switched on in my bag and it is really annoying. Wish you could charge it without needing the cradle (just the transformer) but I guess the waterproof function requires the cradle. I have not really tested this in the shower as it is a rubbish way to shave.This is expensive, but it has been worthwhile if I get another 5 years out of it.

I used the previous model to this one for over 4 years. Unfortunately i dropped it on the clipper part smashing it to pieces leaving me with no choice but to buy this newer model.This newer model is just as fantastic as the older one. The floating head gives an accurate cut. You do have to go over a couple of times which is obvious as facial hair comes out in different directions.The battery life is now brilliant. You can even see how much charge is left which the older one missed out on.I also love the new posh look and feel. It feels like a very good quality item in your hand. There is also a rubber back should you chose to wet shave too.All in all, very pleased with the purchase!!

I purchased this trimmer to replace my i-stubble, which although still serviceable, is a pain to clean as it can't be rinsed or sprayed with antibacterial cleaner.I have too firstly say that I can't understand the many negative reviews. This is a beard /stubble trimmer, you still require some sort of razor if you want a shaped beard or a clean neckline.I bought my example from Amazon wharehouse deals for £35:04p which was a great price as the item was unused ,it just had crushed packaging.I've been using the super stubble on a near daily basis since 2nd December 2015, and it is for me near perfect for my needs.I use the 1.6mm setting for my beard and a phillips razor for my neck and to keep the edges neat and tidy.The only area where the BaByliss is lacking is the edge trimmer which is accessed by folding the guard back on itself ( see photo's ) it is too wide to get into intricate areas such as under the nose , but this wiil be the case with any beard trimmer. One of the small battery ear and nose trimmers would be ideal if you don't own another shaver.Philips NT3160/10 Nose Hair, Ear Hair and Eyebrow Trimmer Series 3000The display is very handy, showing lenght selected and remaining charge in minutes of use, again a good choice by BaByliss. I get around 3 weeks use between charges which are carried out by connecting the supplied lead to the rear of the stand .The trimmer is a joy to use, very comfortable,and the floaring head works as designed. It takes me around 2 minutes to whip round my full beard and a quick rinse under the hot tap leaves it ready for next time. I like to give my trimmer an occasional spray with antibacterial cleaner just to keep things nice and clean.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHAT'S GOOD-- Stylish ergonomic trimmer-- Gives an accurate lenght of trim across the whole beard.-- Quick and efficient to use.-- Re-charges quickly and lasts well between charges-- It's fully waterproof making cleaning a doddle.WHAT'S NOT SO GREAT-- The edge trimming function is a little cumbersome hence 4 stars.IN A NUTSHELL.-- A very accomplished beard / stubble trimmer, which is easy to adjust and use. It's a breeze to keep clean and looks good in any bathroom.Highly recommended.--

Despite the fact that i'm 35 I'm still very much prepubescent on the beard front. Why do I bother I hear you cry? Well, like most "follicly challenged" men who are "crop haired" I like to keep a little facial hair to avoid looking like an egg. I'm never going to achieve that George Michael/Desperate Dan look as I'm just not 'man enough' but thats not the machines fault. I'm pleased with it but I suspect if you are Oscar Isaac you'd be absolutely thrilled with it. Depends very much on what sort of facial hair you have I guess. It is pricey but it is the best stubble trimmer I have ever had and I think I had a three year guarantee with mine. It certainly looks good - the LED screen is a welcome feature.

Not wet shaved since I bought this. Stubble length is good & easy to use, just take your time. Battery is excellent, I've only charged it once since I bought it (well before Xmas) & it's still on 30mins remaning.... probably use it once or twice a week to get stubble back to 3 day growth.It locks v easily which is great when travellingGlad I spent the extra getting the top one.....no idea if the cheaper ones are just as good but hopefully I'll never need to find out!
