metrosexual topic warning: Beard trimming
Been growing a beard for about two and a half weeks now and it's starting to look ragged. I would prefer not to be wolfboy around the office. Can anyone recommend a quality, yet budget trimming device? Would like to keep the beard trimmed down to about a #1 to #1.5.
Thanks guys.

Hate the cordless ones, get a plug in one from Wahl or Norelco or similar ...

Those hedge clippers would be suitable for "wolf boy".

scott, that was from the "no shave november" challenge. Didn't shave a single day in November. I looked pretty...rough.

I have a cordless Whal... works pretty good... probably ten+ years old.
The plug in model is larger and faster. FWIW I had a beard for 10+ years... for women beards are a love/hate thing... you might want to check with some of the ladies on your radar and find out their preference. My wife hates beards so I'm a shaving man now.

I have thought aboue keeping it. Just one problem. During normal times maybe 4/10 chicks don't mind facial hair if well kept. It seems nowadays those numbers have increased up to 6/10. Looks like facial hair is back in.
But if I want to look like the crazy guy from the Giants there are maybe 2/10 chicks that dig that look. I'll always take the higher numbers.

I bought a cheap Wahl when I had my beard. It wasn't as "manly" as yours but it worked until the wife got tired of it.
BTW-you might want to consider getting a haircut. I hear the ladies dig fellas with neat hair.
