Are these, or the basic Andis Master, better for keeping a short shadow-beard?Thanks!

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.

Don't know about any others other than the one in question that I have, but it is great for that as it has 5 guards to choose from and its rechargeable and easy to use. Hope that helps.

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.

I am sorry I can't help you regarding the usefulness of using the brush on a beard. It is a really nice brush for hair, but I think beards are a bit tougher.

The fade master is better for hair styles/cuts with graduated fading, it is a bit heavier, and it works best on thicker hair

this will help, I have a pretty course beard and a fair amount of stray hairs. I use the beard balm at night and the honest Amish beard wax in the morning after I shower. this combo works fairly well.

I would recommend going with the Oster Titan instead. The t finisher is small and really meant more for detailing. They get hot if you use them for more than cleaning up around the ear, neckline or for barbering designs.

I gotten up to 10, but then I switched to another brand of blades to try them. I think at about 10 for my beard was the limit. I've only returned to DE shaving since mid-December, and I've tried 4 different brands. The Feather and Wilkinson Sword seem best for my needs. I have friend who has been using DEs for decades, and he says he gets them to last a long time, but he did not define the length of time.

I agree on the gentler solution. This is more for detail work in my opinion, gives a nice close shave. Not sure that it's a good choice for what you want to do.

I use a size 00000, 1 & 2 to trim my beard...Works great. The size 00000 brings it down to about a 5 o'clock shadow. The ceramic blade is quite sharp and hasn't needed sharpening in years.

If you are looking for a really close cut you need to be looking at the Andis "Fade Master", that would be the closest cut attainable without shaving.

They are good for fades but I still use my osters for tight fade. They come with standard 1-8 size guards but not blend guard. I have so many old sets it didn't matter. Clippers a smooth and quiet. Worth the money.

Sorry - Just a little late here, but since I doubt you've grown back your hair (neither have I), then you are still looking for the elusive shaver to master 3x as many tough spots as the average bro. I love the Panasonic Vortex on my face, neck, and head. I have used rotary shavers, and most recently had been a loyal Braun consumer. So I have experience with all kinds. I got 5 years out of my first Braun, but since the last one barely made 2 years (not very long IMHO for a $150 shaver) I decided to look around. LOVE the Panasonic. I like it 2x as much as the Braun. I get nearly as close a shave from it as I do with a Gilette Fusion.

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.

mole hair brushes are what I have been using for my beard. I'm bald so Im not sure about head hair.

I am not sure about "Andis". I did purchase "Anvil 175-CB". I have a sheltie and mainly use these for trimming feet hair and legs. as well as whiskers.For these "duties" this product works fine. I did order the curved with blunt and not sharp end.

This Panasonic one is good for shave the beard. but I'm not sure it work for non-bearded areas. Sorry.

This is very capable, and probably the best choice, for super close shaving. I'd get the andis "000000" blade however as oster only goes to "00000." The andis blade will fit the oster 76.

I've not used Braun. I'm a hairdresser and cut/shave men. It's great to remove 5:00 shadow, if however, you don't shave for a few days, it doesn't do well on longer hair. It's also great for teenagers starting with peach fuss on mustache and chin. I also use it on neckline after using trimmers to give cleaner look.
