would this be a good choice for a college age student for trimming beard?

Yes, The Trimmer works Great for beard trimming or Keeping your Hair groomed. A Good Choice.

Yes. I use it for beard and hair. It isn't very powerful, but it gets the job done nicely.

I purchased this trimmer from Amazon in March 2010 for $47.99. They obviously realized people were willing to pay far more. As to performance, it works quite well and that includes facial hair. That is, if you're looking to knock down a beard before shaving or if you're into the two day growth look. I believe their reason for the "not to use for facial hair" has more to do with preserving sale for products specifically for the face than it does for anything else.

Well you could trim the larger area, but you may have a little trouble around the nose area. you will still have to use a razor to get that sharp look that beards require.

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.

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.

Depends on your beard type (heavy, light, etc) and how well you maintain the razor. I take care of mine but have to replace the blades every 6 months or the performance suffers.

yes it will be decent for balding his head. if you want to get super skin tight i suggest the wahl 5 star balding clipper. These designers wont be to great at lining up a beard either , you should get the wahl detailers for lining up his beard.

My son has very course, thick hair, he is only 16, but 6 foot 2 inches, & near 300 muscular pounds. He doesn't have thick chest hair yet, but his facial hair is filling in nicely, & he has used it everywhere else on his body. He doesn't like hair under his arms, & on his thighs due to sweating during sports. I gave him this razor for Christmas 2013 & it is holding up just fine, shaves well, it's comfortable to hold, & easy to clean. I am a retired cosmetologist & outline his jawline beard for him using this razor instead of my own tools.

It's not a shaver, although there is a pop up mustache trimmer that does a good job. It could be used to trim the beard by the neck. In my case, my beard gets trimmed when I get a haircut. I hope this is useful.

The clipper portion will allow you to shape a beard, but trimming a beard with this will likely yield disastrous results. I don't currently wear a beard but have had them often.

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.

These will do the job for a short shadow beard but the Andis master is a better clipper. I would not spend that kind of money on the Andis Master if you're only going to use them for your beard.

It would probably work pretty well - I've used it to clean off a two-week growth of beard using the trimmer first then the heads. I haven't shaved my head with it, but it's pretty gentle on the face.

It trims my beard and cuts my head hair easier than a knife slices through butter. I'll bet that it can trim beards of any length. The clippers are adjustable.

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.

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
