The 15 Best Beard Trimmers for Men in 2023

Our data analytics team tells us that this Hatteker kit is the top seller among GQ readers, and for good reason. First, it’s a high-quality all-in-one kit that covers every kind of hair-trimming task, from lineups to sideburns to beards, eyebrows, and body hair. Sure, it may only hold an hour-long charge on 90 minutes of plug-in time, but that’s enough for a week-long vacation. Overall, it’s a bargain, since it’s a damn good (and comprehensive) workhorse.

The Best Professional-Grade Trimmer

Bevel Pro trimmer and clipper

Battery life: 4 hours
Versatility: A
Cutting Power: A
Design: A

Bevel recently launched one of the sexiest trimmers ever, a muscled upgrade of its best-selling original device. This new one has all the guard heads for a precise trim, a professional line up, and even a buzz cut. Rather than guards, the device uses a magnetized head to adjust from a zero-gap close shave on up, at ultra-precise 0.1mm intervals. It’s got the same heft and gorgeous design of the previous device, along with four hours of cordless battery life.

The Best Vacuum Trimmer

Remington hair and beard trimmer

Battery life: 2 hours
Versatility: B
Cutting Power: A
Design: B

Beard trimming gets messy, fast. You get clippings in your beard, on your hands, in your sink, but Remington’s trimmer keeps the process clean while also keeping your beard tidy. It sucks up the large majority of hairs as they fall, making for easy disposal afterwards. This is a dual hair clipper and beard trimmer, and although it’s not cordless, that wall power will give you a strong, consistent cut. Many beard trimmers can’t handle the more difficult task of cutting head hair, which tends to be thicker and less cooperative. So if you want a device for both—and one that cleans house, then here you are.

The Best Travel-Friendly Trimmer

Wahl Groomsman beard trimmer and nose/eyebrow trimmer duo

Battery life: 1 hour
Versatility: B
Cutting Power: B
Design: A

This pair of lightweight, battery-powered trimmers is great if you need to line up edges and snip at strays while away from home. (Why pack something expensive and cumbersome for a weekend away?) The nose-hair clipper might not be worth packing on all but the longest trips, but it cleans up fuzzy nostrils and errant eyebrows nicely.

The Best Toss-in-Your-Gym-Bag Beard Trimmer

Battery life: 1 hour
Versatility: B
Cutting Power: B
Design: B

Braun’s low-cost, high-quality trimmer kit can do far more than tidy up your beard: swap in the nose and ear trimmer, the precision head, or the longer guards for general upkeep. It’s the perfect, lightweight tool to tote in your gym bag or travel dopp, offering a couple weeks of beard-trimming sessions on its 60-minute charge. This particular model comes with a Gillette ProGlide razor, for any bare-skin detailing you may want to do (like a neck or cheek cleanup).
