Reddit reviews Pure Enrichment TRYM II Rechargeable Hair Trimmer Kit with 4 Trimming Attachments, Charging Base, Cleaning Brush and Clipper Oil - Ideal for Safe, At-Home Grooming of Hair, Body, Mustache and Beard

Use a beard trimmer. Takes longer, and you won't be baby smooth, but it doesn't cut as close so it prevents the bumps and minimizes irritation.

The relief is instant. The bumps will be able to heal, and they won't come back.

Trimmers I've owned:

Wahl All-in-One 9854-600

Pros: powerful clippers with a very long battery life. Suitable for all types of body hair grooming.

Cons: Only one guard that I consider suitable for stubble length and I'd prefer more options on that front. Not waterproof.


Trym II

Pros: Charging stand and sleek look allows you to keep it in plain sight on your bathroom counter without the counter appearing cluttered.

Cons: Fewer guard options than the Wahl, and seemed less powerful, although for the purposes of trimming stubble it seemed minimally sufficient.

Trimmers I'd consider if I were in the market right now:

Something more premium: Philips Norelco Beard trimmer Series 7200

Philips is generally at the top of the list for reviews of beard trimmers, and the dedicated beard trimmer gives you more options for stubble length. Lastly, after a couple years of maintaining stubble-length growth, I can now see why the vacuum feature would be desirable. Trimming down to stubble is messy business.

Something affordable, yet highly rated and with more options for stubble length: Wahl Beard Trimmer

I have, on occasion, wished I had more versatility in choosing a stubble length (a little longer or just a tad shorter - depending). A dedicated beard trimmer that doesn't break the bank would be a good starting point on that front.

For body hair, a beard trimmer with an adjustable/removable guard and vacuum are my recommendation.

With Vaccuum

Without Vacuum

As for facial hair, does he have any interest in a shave kit with a safety/double edge razor? I can help there, but not so much with an electric for facial hair.

I use this for shaving body hair. It works great and gIves a surprisingly close shave for a trimmer. Not as close as a razor, of course, but it's a lot more convinient.

this is not so much profile help as it is help with your look.

Your first pic is great, except that your neck looks untidy. Your third pic looks interesting (I got curious as to what you're doing) but again the neck looks untidy.

Also took a look at your second pic, and I think a stubble will suit you, invest in a trimmer with guards (this is the one I have) and use it to keep your facial hair neat. The trimmer comes with guards of different lengths (1.5mm, 3mm, 6mm), pick a certain setting and keep your beard clean.

About the glasses, I don't think they suit you, as your first picture also shows. I'd recommend getting contact lenses, or getting a more stylish pair, like these.

Source: Have glasses and beard myself.

I bought this and it's pretty good. I use it without the attachments and it cuts really close.

> keep neck clean

Any advice on how to do this? also a beginner to growing a beard! It's been 3 weeks for me. The neck is looking unkempt, with hair curling up. I frequently comb the beard (it's become a hobby), and it's been itching often.

I have a norelco with trimmer guards and also just acquired this which also has a header guard. Would appreciate any advice.

I don't know how much stubble you want showing. If you just want a rough face, these should work. If you want it longer use an electrric trimmer like this
