I currently use 3/8" for my beard. What does that translate to on this device?

9 mm is shorter than 3/8 in and 10 mm is longer than 3/8 in. so either one of those settings

I used a 5/8 inch and it worked well, however, I did not try the other sizes and I'm not sure what the company recommends.

The lengths go from 1 to 9. I use 6 for my beard which leaves it about 1/2 to 3/4 inches long. I think it would work fine for manscaping if your hair is not to curly and you are extremely careful.

I have the same problem beard as you. You will be very pleased in the results. It is great !!

It might be too big for beard trimming, a smaller trimmer might be better. That said, it probably would work, but may not be the best choice for just beard trimming.

It is quarter inch. You can buy an adapter, but I don't think you will need 3/8th.

I haven't had any issue with this. However, being a relatively inexpensive mobile shaver. I do not use this shaver with a thick week growth beard. I used it if I have a little stubble and want to touch it up and smooth my face. I believe the foil on this is very thin being a travel type shaver and it is possible that like others have suggested perhaps your beard is too long or maybe you have a defective unit. It seems to work fairly well for my touch up needs.

I bought it for a beard and the product specifically called for this adapter, check to see what your model calls for.

This is respond from my husband: " This trimmer works great for trimming beards to 3/64ths inch to ¾ inches long. It does not come with a comb that would go up to 1½ inches. For a longer goatee, I would detach the comb and use it freehand." hope that helps.

I would suggest the 10" because the OD is the important dimension, once its squeezed down it will become 10 3/8".

I have a full beard and I find that a little bit goes a long way. I use anywhere from a pea to a dime size and I find that it does the job all day.

It has multiple attachments to regulate how close the cut is. I use it mostly for trimming my beard.

I would use 3/8". You will need to purchase a barbed tube fitting 3/8" tube x 1/2 npt

Definitely against the grain gives the closest shave. On my face, I find little point in going with the grain - the shaver doesn't do much cutting. The trouble is the beard can be growing in different directions on different parts of your face and neck. With a little time you become familiar with the different directions and you shave accordingly. In areas where the grain seems to be haphazard, I've found it best to use a circular motion with the shaver.

Also just got one and was wondering the exact same thing. This post suggests, despite the manual, that it works fine for facial hair:http://www.amazon.com/Beard/forum/Fx35I14XJDYL4GM/Tx25ZQ15IPDYTEO/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B001E0C9LI&store;=hpc

The beard blade is 1.25" in. (1 1/4 in.). I meanly use it for beard trimming. I'll meassure the body grooming part and let you know but I don't believe it's much bigger than 2" inch.
