Can these be adjusted to cut beard to stubble length? I'm sick of cheap beard trimmers.

Yes....it works so great and can be adjusted.I used a screw driver to do that and tried it on my beard when done...very user friendly

Yes the blades can be adjusted, I discovered this after buying a pair and was asked if I would be using them to shave. There was a guy who adjusted the blades. I tried to do it with another pair and one end was higher then the other and this caused the clipper to pinch. It's a precision adjustment that call for good eyes.

no, the lenght cannot be adjusted with this model. it is designed to shape up or clean up.

Only if you have a steady hand and good eye. It does not come with length attachments.

My beard is not very long so hard to say. It's adjustable and if you use the included comb with the longest setting you get about 3/4" length in the direction of growth or about 1/2" against the grain. If your beard is longer than that, you'll be manually trimming. I do that sometimes, and didn't find any trouble with it. HTH.

The blades are as fine as any but the cartridge itself is a little "clunky." Consequently, sometimes they're a little awkward in places like directly under one's nose, where it meets the upper lip. I'm willing to trade a little awkwardness for the value, but that's me. My skin is very sensitive and my beard is only modest. If you have 8 gauge steel wire for a beard, I'm not sure these or any blades will prove to be the cutting torch you need.

The Conair I-Stubble adjusts in .2 mm increments, which is perfect for maintaining a short beard (or the stubble look): http://www.amazon.com/Conair-i-Stubble%C2%AE-Ultimate-Stubble-Control/dp/B004PXIR1W/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1413136272&sr=1-1&keywords=istubble

I have wondered the same thing but have not tried it. I don't see why they wouldn't work you just might have to trim them to fit.

No, they are for a double edge razor only, You Can buy and inexpensive dounble edge razop at Sallys beauty sales for somewhere around $10.10. It not adjustable,but they work pretty good just, be careful with the feather blade as they are very sharp, and go slow until you get the hang of them, Good Luck

I've never had those, so I have no clue. There's a slightly more expensive Braun model with a little trimmer, but it's a bit clumsy to use. I prefer using my beard trimmer for that kind of problem area.

Yes, the attachments are for trimming. Use no attachments for a close smooth shave.

These clippers out of the box will not give you a close ("skin") cut. They can be adjusted to do it, but I wouldn't do that. They are not meant to for that purpose. There are liners and other cheaper clippers you can adjust if that's all you want.

I wold not recommend it. It is great for hair, but it is way to big and clunky for a beard trimmer. Phillips (and others) do beard trimmers which are 1/4 of the size, battery operated and can handle different "styles". This one is super powerful, but it would feel like trimming your beard with an chainsaw...

Yes if you adjust them. However they won't cut very thick grass or weeds. They just wouldn't cut close enough to suit me.

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.

Yes, you can use it as a beard trimmer. I have to say, The one I bought stopped working recently, so I threw it away. I would not buy another one.

The shaver only has a traditional sideburn trimmer that can be used to neat'n up a scraggly beard or moustache. You can't "comb" out a long beard to shorten or manage it. You will want a small moustache trimmer with attachable cutting combs of various lengths. That is usually a fifteen dollar, battery operated shaver available anywhere grooming products are sold. I just bought a Wahl beard trimmer at Kmart for twelve dollars (with 3 beard combs) the same day my Braun arrived from Amazon.

No height adjustments. You can lock or unlock the blade section from tilting. I guess you could use lighter pressure to leave stubble.

Well, it comes with a trimmer which pops out from the body of the shaver, but I would not call it a beard trimming feature. More like a feature to straighten the edges of a moustache, goatee, and Vandyke. If you need a real trimmer to shorten the length or keep the length of your beard, I would buy one for that purpose. I use my Norelco trimming kit for my goatee and my Braun for shaving. Combination of the two works excellent.

I don't see how-they would be unstable with the hole fitting and would not curve properly. Why would you want to do this? It doesn't seem reasonable as there are a number of very good shavers out there that would accommodate the blade.
