Is this just a trimmer used to clean up beard, or a trimmer + an electric razor that you use to define edges of beard and shave above/below beard? Thx

It's designed to trim a beard and define edges. It is not a substitute for a razor that can give a clean shave.

Nope. It's not a shaver, it's a very close trimmer. I own one and reviewed it above. It gets really really close, but a razor would get closer and in some of the areas this is designed for, that would you're likely to end up bloody if you're not extremely careful.

On the upper side of the shaver, there is a "trimmer," which flips open and shut. It is pretty neat and effective, even for trimming the stray extended hairs from mustache and goatee. Or wherever. I would still have something sharp to make a clean cut off at the demarkation line if I were heading for a wedding or a job interview. Greetings, JohnW

This unit not meant as razor . I use it to trim my beard & mustache . No lotion or cream needed

It's good for that..just maneuver carefully. It leaves barely visible stubble but it's short & smooth enough that, considering this is an electric *trimmer* and you don't have to break out the shaving cream and an actual scary blade, it's very close 2nd place, unless you need to be totally bald.

This unit has a small, narrow 'pop up' trimmer that is good for light work around the ears and straightening side burns, but it does not have a traditional beard trimmer attachment with guides or anything like that. I use this for daily smooth skin shaving and have a separate unit (See my reviews about the one I have used for years) for trimming beard/goatee.

No it's not. It's a 3 piece razor. Quality is awesome, shaved my beard off today with it. 1 week of growth, came off like nothing.

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.

From my two-month experience it is designed and works better as a body groomer. I tried it once on my face and din't like the awkward angles it allowed so I got a separate beard trimmer. You may with some practice and patience(which I lack) grow to manipulate it anywhere but for me, given prior history with a multi-purpose shaver, I could never quite get the feel I was comfortable with. Hope this helps...

I used it has a beard trimmer and to take off the few hairs that stick out of the top of my very bald head. It is the best machine I have ever used. It does knock off those few fine hairs at the top.

Laura, re your question, I am not sure. I like the razor as it has 3 different shaving screens and I use the closest shaving one. If I let my beard grow out more than a few days then I use the trimmer to cut it shorter then I use the razor part.I like the razor except for the switch problem. Maybe you can try it out and if happy with results, great. If the results are not good, be sure to return it within 30 days for Amazon return.

it doesn't give a shave as good as a shaver, but it gives clean shave when you combine it with another razor, like the wahl balding razor. you should be okay if you use both.

As far as I can tell, it just trims and shaves them, but it does a great job and the hairs do not grow back thicker. In fact, I am going to buy another one so I have an extra on hand. It works a lot better than the other ones like it. I am very happy with it. Plus it is much more powerful than the other ones just like it.

Cleaning is a snap, especially to other electric shaver/trimmers I have owned. You only need remove the mesh screen which will give you excellent access to the area you can brush out to clean the unit. You can also brush the blades from here. Reassembly is also a snap.

I'm sorry, as I merely use non-electric shavers, I don't know the difference. But, this is compact and easy to clean. I'd like a bit more shaving power.

no as it is a trimmer, not a razor. I have a razor and trimmer and use them based on what I need to do.

I don't shave my face..........~wait a minute, I DO shave my face sometimes ~.even though I am a female. Never mind. I think that it should work well for trimming a beard. It cuts the hair evenly. The height of the blade in relation to the guide is adjustable. Please check the range of length of hair that can be cut in relation to how long you wear your beard.
