Silvercrest Cordless Hair & Beard Trimmer

Product Information

Use the trimmer without a comb to style your beard edges and remove stray hairs. Some trimmers come with a detail trimmer attachment, which is designed to make this part of the task easier. We recruit a diverse panel of testers so each trimmer is put through its paces by people with different hair types and lengths of beard. We buy every beard trimmer we test. Quality of trim The SilverCrest SHBS 500 D3 is a beard trimmer designed to provide precision grooming and styling for men. Made by SilverCrest, a reputable brand in personal care appliances, this trimmer offers a range of features to meet users' grooming needs. While they essentially do the same job, a hair clipper is designed for cutting long hair and full beards, whereas a trimmer is designed for cutting and styling shorter hair. As its name suggests, the trimmer is waterproof so you can use it in the shower and rinse it under the tap to clean it. The Aqua Blade comes with a carry case, too, and lasts an impressive three hours between charges, so if you’ve remembered to charge before you go away, you shouldn’t need to take a charger with you on holiday.

Contoured trimmer bodies, with rubber grips, are the comfiest to hold. If this isn't essential for you, we at least found that most beard trimmers we've tested are comfy to hold for a short length of time. Cutting against the direction your hair grows will remove more hair. Going with the direction of hair growth cuts less. The main unit comes with two hair cutting guards – 1-10mm for short hair and 11-20mm for longer hair – and the cutting length can then be adjusted in tiny increments by using the built-in dial. This is a fantastically useful multi-functional tool that powered through beard hair without any problem and was an absolute dream to hold. We loved the sleek design and the matt finish, and it really feels like it’s been built to last. So if how a gadget looks and feels is as important to you as how well it performs, this is the grooming tool for you. Our testers rate each trimmer for how it trims their facial hair, how smooth and easy to manoeuvre each trimmer is on the moustache, side of their face and on the chin, and if they irritate the skin.Nose and ear hair trimmer A cylindrical attachment that can more easily fit in your nostrils and ears to trim this hair. Slowly insert the trimmer – you don't need to force the head into your nose. The grinding noise you hear will tell you the trimmer is removing hairs. Hair/body hair combs Combs that usually cut to a longer length, designed for clipping the hair on your head or other parts of the body. Use your free hand to make your skin tauter. Place it below the area you're trimming and gently pull your skin away from the trimmer. This provides a steady support and makes it easier to trim looser areas, such as under your jaw and your cheeks. The SHBS 500 D3 is equipped with high-quality stainless steel blades that are designed to cut through a variety of hair types with ease. Additionally, it features adjustable cutting lengths, allowing users to achieve the desired hair length and style. The trimmer also includes various attachments, such as combs and guards, to further customize the grooming experience. Almost all beard trimmers come with a cleaning brush. Use this after trimming to remove hair from the blades and attachments.

Cut with the direction of hair growth for longer beards. It removes hair more slowly and helps avoid a patchy look. For shorter beards, you can go with or against the direction of hair growth. With its ergonomic design, the SHBS 500 D3 is comfortable to hold and maneuver, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free grooming process. The device is cordless, powered by a rechargeable battery, which provides convenience and flexibility for use on the go. Battery life after a five-minute charge varies dramatically. From 10 seconds all the way to over 20 minutes. If you travel a lot, getting one with a great battery will make your routine easier and less stressful. Is your product defective and the manual offers no solution?

We also use a Cambridge Simulation glove, which allows the wearer to empathise with those who have hand mobility issues such as arthritis, to assess each trimmer.
