Can you use the trimmer end to trim facial stubble?

Unless your facial stubble is really long, the shortest setting on the trimmer won't get close enough.

This shaver is an intimate and body trimmer and not designed for the beard. I am using a Braun cruZer6 for beard and ears. Also, it can be used for head haircuts. The two together can let the gentleman care for just about all areas. The only thing missing is for us Neanderthals who have hair inside our ear canals that we need to conquer. Recommendation? Spring for this one and a beard trimmer.

Yes, you can use it without the guard for a closer shave. However, don't recommend this trimmer at all! Have to run over the hair multiple times to get it to cut, and the guard is useless as it practically prevents the hair from getting through to the blades. Regret buying this..

Yes you can use it as a beard trimmer it only comes with one gaurd I also purchased a wahl gaurd kit that comes with like 5-6 different size gaurds hope this helps you

Yea I think so. It gets pretty close for a trimmer it would work well to shape the edges of a beard. I feel like I remember it coming with guards too (so you can trim the length of the beard) but I did buy it a while ago so I might be mistaken.

I don't see why not. I use it with fusion blades. all the device does is wipe away the soap and stubble build up which they claim causes the blade to feel dull if left on. I have a heavy beard and have used the same blade now since Oct 20, 2013. I'm thinking about changing to a new blade but this one does not feel very rough.

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

I was about to buy this but then I went to phillips' website and found out that they have a trimmer specifically for stubble, you can get it here Philps Norelco QT4021 Stubble Trimmer

I don't know. I'm assuming you can get an adapter. I no longer use this trimmer. It's too powerful for my face.

I've never used the clippers as a beard shaver. I do use the trimmer on my facial hair though, even though it doesn't have any sort of adjustments for it. It works for me and gives you a scruff look. I would assume though that using the main clipper on a longer beard would work and could then be cleaned up with the trimmer.

It would work for that, but would be very time consuming due to the fact that the blade is only about an inch wide. And u would still feel a little stubble. But it would def cut it and work a little closer that normal clippers... If u wanted large clippers to do the same cut just get a "000" blade for it (called triple zero)

With the attachements it works quite well. Three hair length choices. Direct application of the trimmer without attachments not recommended for a full beard trim or elsewhere, though good for sideburns trim and tight areas around the nose. I've been very pleased with mine. Especially like the fact it is quieter than most trimmers; there are losts of complaints about noise with this type of trimmer. See amazon reviews of line. Good luck, Paulo.

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 , the device does extremely well on my nose hair and my mustache , caution should be used when trimming because the blades on this quality product are durably sharp. I have had great success using this trimmer and totally satisfied with it !

Yes, you shouldn't have any problems. However I actually recommend using the beard trimmer; the body grooming head tends to shave much too close and the trimming edges can snag very easily. I find that using this head causes razor bumps 99% of the time, so your best bet is using the beard trimmer and then maybe the close shave head if you want.

My suspicion is no. It's not a really good shaver. I regret buying it. It gets the job done...eventually. I need to use the trimmer function constantly to get the long ones. Short stubble is easy with this thing, but if you miss a couple of days expect ten to 13 minutes shaving. You might be better off paying more for a shaver with a bigger blade IMHO.

I use it on my head so the answer is 'yes'... provisionally. Like any electric shaver you can only let your hair go so far until you have to either use a blade or - and this is what I do - use a set of clippers with the guide removed and run them over your scalp (or face) to turn your beard/hair into short stubble. From there the Braun can handle it just fine. BUT as others have noted the Series 3 shavers do not shave as close as previous Braun razors. So you will need to take your time going over and over your head to get a close shave. I find a circular motion works best. Either that or up/down followed by side to side.
