I have a question before buy this shaver. Can the SensoTouch 2D do light trimming also? I know its a shaver, not sure if it trims the beard lightly.

There is a trimmer with the shaver, however there are no attachments for length.

I'm also African-American and can not use razors also. I have used this to (shave/trim) my full beard for 2 years with no problems. I even got ride of razor bulbs using Organic Root Stimulator (ORS). This will be a great choice for you. It provides a smooth, close (dry)shave.

I ended up sensing mine back as soon as it arrived. You can't use it on dark or tanned skin. Can't use it on light hair and you are supposed to shave the hair off first. No way was I shaving my face. Not quite sure who can use one of these.

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...

As i don't have a short shadow beard, the answer is less informed. But i do keep short shadow hair, meaning bladed to "zero", and it works very well for that. Used to own a previous version of Andis and the new clipper blades are much more "gentle" on the skin than the older model. However, i would imagine that beard clippers/trimmers might be preferable, since they are designed for the purpose. Hope this helps in your research.

In my case blade shaving irritated my skin. The electric will do the same if you press too hard but it is the convenience of not having to lather up but can shave on the go at most any time that appeals to me. An electric like this will not shave a beard unless you buy the one with a built in trimmer.

Remembering that this is a travel shaver or for a quick shave on the go, I think the Braun is terrific for mustache, beard and sideburn trims. I use a razor to supplement when I want a real close shave. I have purchased three of these Brauns already, one as a gift and one as a backup...but still getting good use from the original after two years of frequent usage.

Hi,The things that must be determined for this razor is your beard. My beard is of medium texture, not heavy, not light. I have found this razor to be the right combination for me. I also find it works best when my beard is short. It seems to have a bit of difficult with longer hairs. I have had this razor for over a year and a half and am very pleased with it performance.Hope this helps.

Yes, however there are reservations and considerations. It is excellent with light hairs that are not your mustache or beard. Underneath your eyes for example. I tweeze to trim my beard and mustache. You can use it in lieu of shaving but it will be painful and will takesome time to get used to it. If you get bumps from shaving, you will get bumps from epilating. I use it on my face but not my whole face. I have a beard. My wife uses it on her face but she has no coarse hairs. I got her the ladies version as it is a bit gentle. Hope this helps.

I'm just trying to find my husband a descent shaver. Can anyone suggest a good one? It doesnt have to be anything really great. Just something reliable that will hold up and do the job for a few years.

It won't "SHAVE" you, but it will give a very close trim with either of the heads. The smaller head is great for getting into tight places with "detailed" accuracy. The 2 guides are usable for hair, beards, or mustaches. I'm enjoying mine - greatly.

No. The trimmer will take a very close shave and is not meant to do a full grooming. This trimmer runs on 2 AA batteries and when it is on for a while, they need turned off to cool down. Made for a touch up trim only. If you are going to do a grooming, buy some grooming shears. I like Andis personally.

It doesn't shave at all. Nothing even close to a clean shave. It purposely leaves "stubble". I shave most of my face with a blade. I trim my very large mustache with the QT4000/42 at a high setting for long length.The portion left (goatie) I use the lowest close setting for a stubble look. This shaver is NOT something that could leave your face smooth and clean. Made for what I use it for and nothing else. Hope this helps.

Sorry I do not have a beard. Occasionally I will not shave for 3-4 days and when I use the Braun it shaves very well. I love the Braun

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.

Sorry my husband says it is a great shaver but no attachment for trimming beards.
