So, I shaved my beard but she likes me better with a bit of a shadow (thanks for telling me!)
I am in need of a few recommendations from the group on which facial hair trimmer to acquire
My old Wahl trimmer is severely lacking in quality
Please let me know your preferences/reviews, Thanks

I'm on my second Wahl trimmer. The one I'm using was an upgrade, a set with a full size plug in unit and a smaller battery powered detail trimmer. The thing came with a bunch of guides and it's been a workhorse on my walrus bristles.

if there are other recs out there I'm curious about reviews.

NCKA OG and publisher of the Gentleman’s Guide to Manlinees and Other Cool Sh*T,  @Pacifico , only operates at the peak of male grooming standards and I’m fairly positive he has a monthly manscaping budget that exceeds the average cost of most people’s rent.  He can probably recommend a full facial treatment of beard oils, mustache waxes and precision trimmers…..quite possibly offering up the personal services of the scissor trimming leprechaun that lives in the clothes hamper of one of his bathrooms. 

I’d be of little assistance in this conversation….i buy the cheapest trimmers I can find at target cause nothing is gonna make my mug any more attractive. One word of caution however, the norelco shaver I have feels like it’s individually tweezing hairs straight off my face….its as close to torture as you can get.

Art, it sounds like we're going to have another talk about you peeping through my clothes hamper and my bathroom. 

But since you mention it, I highly recommend "The Lawnmower" product line from Manscaped.  They're a good all over trimmer.  There are multiple versions, of which I have the 4.0.   The blades are replaceable, they hold a charge well, they're easy to travel with (with a setting to be sure you don't accidentally run the power down while they're in your bag),  they have a light in case you're trying to reach some dark and hard to see areas. Let's not forget that they just look cool...even if your significant other is not impressed by your own equipment or how well you maintain that equipment, I feel confident in guaranteeing that they will be impressed by the equipment you use to maintain your equipment.

Don't forget to also subscribe to the peak hygiene plan. It's $20 per shipment and you get to pick up to two of their products...you can switch what those products are so you can try them all but I always keep the replaceable lawnmower blades in the package so I can avoid any potential of the issues Art is having with his Norelco.

also, the leprechaun services are no longer available after your last incident, he's still in therapy.

How tall is he…hopefully Pacifico hasn’t chloroformed him and forced him into his hamper.

I want to see the lawnmower series shave the spines of a china or gopher rock fish!

  Thanks for the nod.   :smt006. I'm an Andis guy for many years.  The edger I use is a t-outliner but I'm not sure it has guides for beards.  I do shave beards to shadow with my Andis Master using a #1 or #2 guide but the tool itself is prolly overkill for home use though I love it.  It is corded and quiet.  :smt007

Bonus side note...skunked at Paradise today.  Shoulda woulda coulda done Prison Bay...nah...had fun exploring...no regret, just no fish...
