Philips, a long time expert in laser and LED light technology pushes the envelope again. It has armed its newest beard trimmer with a laser light for what it claims is better control and accuracy for precision trimming. The red laser light keeps the line of trimming straight over face counters. Well, I have been using it for the past week but it takes some getting used to. That trimer’s red line steels the show and frankly looks ominous! This may be a case where technology overshadows the purpose- simple little trim.

But it is precise. The Philips StyleXpert Beardtrimer $99.99 has 0.2mm accurate height cutting increments, LED display of battery and height setting and can be set to 1/64” (0.4mm) height for the perfect stubble. The head rotates for a narrower, trimmer width and comes with two detachable combs for stubble and beard.
It’s waterproof and provides 60 minutes of use after a one hour charge. And you don’t have to use laser light, which BTW can be used as a leveler for hanging pictures in a straight line.
If you want simple, check out the Philips GoStyler wet and dry facial styler, $19.99. It works on a single AA battery and provides for close accurate foil shaving around your beard as well as beard trimming with three per-set attachments. It’s light and portable.
Both units come with a two-year warranty and are available everywhere.
