This is the first beard trimmer I've ever purchased since at 25 I can now finally grow a respectable beard, and I've been very happy with it so far. The different guards are great to switch between to get the desired length for inbetween haircuts, without the guard works well for getting defined lines. I still have to use my old electric shaver for my neck, as trimming without the guards doesn't leave you with a completely smooth shave. I was skeptical since it was the least expensive trimmer on here, but I would definitely recommend it and buy it again.
