Can this be used for trimming beards to specific lengths also? Are additional blades/guards needed for this?

Yes it can be used for trimming beards as long as you have all of the different length clipper guards. It only comes with the 000 blade so you will need to purchase the necessary blades/guards that you might need

Yes and yes I would only buy ceramic blades because they run cooler and sharper longer.76 blade are interchangeable also

The leading edge of the beard trimmer blade is 1 1/4" wide. The cutting teeth occupy 1 inch of the width (leaving 1/8" non-cutting "blade" width on either side of the actual teeth.) I wear a "close-trimmed" beard. I usually set the trimmer on "3", sometimes "2". This unit handles the "close cropped" beard very well. I disagree with the complaints about "flimsy plastic" on the blade shield/housing. Just hold the blade shield/housing with "normal" pressure against your beard and there should be no problem for "close cropped" beards.

The guard basically allows for trimming, but would prohibit you from making a clean shave. For a clean shave, you can take off the guard.

This machine is too big for beards in my opinion I use just to trim my beard but not shap it up. So just to cut your beard down yes to shape it no

Yes, you could use this blade set to trim a mustache. It would be kind of awkward though. I would recommend using a razor, trimmers or edgers for detailed work such as trimming a mustache or cleaning up the edge up or neckline.

You can trim a beard but you will not get a close shave. It's not meant for that purpose.

No. I bought this to remove a 1.5 week beard. It was not pleasant - it pinches a bit. Works much better moving into the beard than away from it. It leaves a stubble equivalent to about two days growth for me. A razor was necessary, but it was much easier to use because the trimmer had removed most of the beard, which reduced clogging of the razor.

Body/Beard absolutely - the foil shaver while advertised for the body is not top of the line. Personally I use either a 5 blade for that extra close shave.

The lengths go from 1 to 9. I use 6 for my beard which leaves it about 1/2 to 3/4 inches long. I think it would work fine for manscaping if your hair is not to curly and you are extremely careful.

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.

The guard for the clipper blade will leave your beard at 1/8 inch (3mm) or the other end of the guard will leave it 1/4 inch (6mm)

Sure will. I don't have a real heavy beard but l get about a month out of a single blade. I use a triple edge razor so it took a little while to figure it out. Hope this helps.

Yes, to trim a longer beard this trimmer should work fine. But if your going for the 5 o'clock shadow, this trimmer won't cut close enough.

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.

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.
