Braun BT3222

With all the Trimmings – It’s one thing to grow a beard, it’s another thing to look after it. Now for most guys, growing a beard is the easy part, but not for me. Although I show signs of a 5 o’clock shadow around 2, it’s slow growth from then on. So, for guys like me, how you trim and shape your beard as it grows is even more important. Stuff it up and it’s back to the drawing board …. And another 3 to 4 weeks looking sketchy while it grows back for another go.

Enter the Braun Beard trimmer BT3222 with Precision dial and 1 precision comb attachment.

• This beard trimmer has a wider cutting area than any previous Braun trimmers — so it’s faster and more efficient. • Easy to create accurate lines and edges with the Beard trimmer head. • Precision combs with 20% less plastics¹ 100% precision and control: provide an effortless trim. • Beard trimmer’s precision wheel has 20 length settings in 0.5 mm increments (from 0.5 to 10 mm). This allows you to shape, style your beard, moustache, goatee or stubble with accuracy. • Lifetime sharp blades make for an even and consistent result • German design and advanced engineering it easy to hold and had a powerful 50-minute-runtime rechargeable battery.

Best of all – instead of a printed strip of foldout paper with drawings and poorly worded instructions; Braun has produced high quality instructional videos to show how to use the trimmer and get the best results. You’ll find them on the Braun You Tube Channel.

I purchased mine from my local Coles Supermarket for $50 where they also sell the Gillette Fusion Styler & Trimmer (around $25). I recommend spending the extra as you get a far more robust and high-quality product that looks the part and delivers a professional result.

Given there are only 2 parts - the beard trimmer and the one detachable precision comb, you are less likely to lose anything. Plus, mine came with a little travel pouch which is ideal to store it away between uses.

Growing a beard? and particularly if you're a novice - this product is a great solution and comes with access to instructional videos - it deserves 5 stars!.
