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?

There isn't a guide for the 1" -1.5", but the rest are covered. I suggest using a comb for the longer lengths. I have been very happy overall with my trimmer.

My husband only uses the Wahl trimmer and I`m sure you will be completely satisfied ! He works retail and must keep his beard and mustache kept neat, this trimmer WORKS!!! Karen Reed

Not the best for goatee or precise trimming... it doesnot clean up the edges of the hairline very sharp

It's not good for trimming a beard. The blade/teeth are to wide. I ended up buying the Wahl Cordless Clipper/Trimmer. The blade are much finer which is what I needed in order to obtain a clean tape for my beard. I guess it's ok for anything other than facial/neck trimming.

It makes a decent beard trimmer. It has an adjustable attachment but you need to rinse the device during the trim to provide a clean cut

It has a moustache trimming tool which pops out. (Think EDGE trimmer.) However, I do not see how it could be used with a spacer to trim beard hairs themselves to a certain length. I already have a beard trimmer, though so it's not an issue for me.

It has a bar that slides the teeth forward and backward for fine adjustment, no specific numbers. The attachments are normal sizes..not sure the mm, but it should be fine for a beard, but it is not a specific beard trimmer. I use it on my head.

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.

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.

Depends on how long they are; don't expect a close shave with this device. It's a trimmer, not a shaver, so it is more likely to leave stubble. Personally, I prefer to use this around my eyebrows for safety (I just think putting an exposed blade around your eyes is a dangerous thing), and use a facial shaver, like the Panasonic Pivoting Head Shaver, for my cheeks and the lower half of my face.

Yes you can use it as a beard trimmer. If you prefer more detail, then a smaller trimmer is warranted.

Yes! I primarily use it for trimming my goatee. It cuts a fine line and the head is small enough to reach tight spots.

I purchased BG2030 trimmer from Amazon in 2010 for $47.99. They obviously realized people were will to pay far more. As for the trimmer, it is fantastic and that includes the trimming of facial hair. That is, if you want to knock down a beard before shaving or if you're into the two day growth look. I believe there insistence that it not be used for facial hair reflects their desire to sell products specifically designed, and marketed, for that purpose.

I use a size 00000, 1 & 2 to trim my beard...Works great. The size 00000 brings it down to about a 5 o'clock shadow. The ceramic blade is quite sharp and hasn't needed sharpening in years.

The razor does not have a trimmer. It is perfectly good for the normal one days growth. A fully grown beard would require another razor.

I've used it after not shaving for three or four days, and it worked fine for that. But, if you have a long beard, I'm not really sure. My guess is you would have to trim that down.

I can only say that this is the second model I've owned...I dropped the first, breaking it. It has always provided a sharp, neat trim for my beard. That is why I sought out and purchased the same model. I use the shortest of four trim guides that come with the trimmer to get a tight, trim beard.

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.
