If you have a beard, you know that trimming and keeping it well-groomed can be a challenge... and then on top of it you have to clean up all those trimmings and that's totally a pain. As bearded men, we wanted a solution for the 'clean-up' because nobody likes a bathroom covered in beard hairs. So, we decided to embark on a journey to find which vacuuming beard trimmer is  the best. We tried the Remington MB6850 Stubble and Beard Trimmer, the Wahl 9870 Vacuum Trimmer, and the Hatteker Hair Clipper Beard Trimmer Kit 5-in-1. The criteria for our grading are: Cutability, Product Quality, and Suction. Overall, we really enjoyed doing this 'Best Vacuuming Facial Trimmer' or 'Best Vacuuming Beard Trimmer' review and think that the suction/vacuuming aspect is a HUGE bonus over your standard trimmers. Definitely check them out for yourself!
