    They’re less than useless for anyone that doesn’t do a full clean shave. These guards are for trimming the length of the beard, not remove all of it.

      Er…are scissors not a thing in your country? Look I understand why you think that I also swallowed the Phillips coolaid,but they’re lying to you man. Men have had beard and mustache for a long long long time before eletric razors. So I’ll ask a favour of you,try the safety razor/ scissors for a month. Then come bad and tell me I’m wrong. Don’t buy into the disposal plastic propaganda, get a real razor,it’s cheaper,nicer and better shave.

        In what world is a pair of scissors even remotely comparable to a razor!?

        Have you ever tried trimming a beard with a pair of scissors? It’s ridiculously hard to do well yourself (I’ve tried). It’ll look like shit and take ten times as long as a good electric trimmer (which will also last you many years). Alternatively I could go to a barber, but that would set me back more than $100/month with trimming twice per month.

        safety razor isn’t even slightly comparable and scissors… that’d take me like half an hour to properly trim my beard and it’d probably be patchy and uneven… i prefer the 5min it takes me now and i’ll pay for it thanks

            you clearly don’t have a beard mate… i use 3 tools to trim my facial hair, and 1 of them is a safety razor… it is not an all-purpose tool: it does exactly 1 thing, and only 1 thing
