"Of the seven models tested, only two scored "very good", while all the others were rated "good". But even in inexperienced hands, all of them are suitable for a simple three-day beard or for trimming a simple short full beard. The question of which beard suits whom is something everyone has to answer for themselves...

Clearly defined contours, precise hair lengths, smooth transitions: getting a beard in the right shape is an art in itself. But with a good electric beard trimmer and a little practice, anyone can become a barber.
