Beards and trimming

What do y'all use to trim the face? My old Wahl gave up the ghost. In the market for a new trimmer.

I have my barber do it, his hands tremble much less than mine.

I got some clippers recently at Costco, similar to the ones linked above. Tons of attachments. How did I ever get along without it?

Yakushi dream cutter, very good trimmer, pricey.
Also, I like my oneblade, portable and cheap.

Thanks all, sounds like no real consensus or must have unit.

I got this exact trimmer many years ago and it's been great.

It doesn't look like trimmers have changed much in the last 30 years.
