admin Our data team notes that this Hatteker kit is the top seller among GQ readers, and for good reason. First, it’s a high-quality all-in-one kit that covers every kind of hair-trimming task, from lineups to sideburns to beards, eyebrows, and body hair. Sure, it may only hold an hour-long runtime on 90 minutes of charge, but that’s enough for a week-long vacation. Overall, it’s a bargain, since it’s a damn good (and comprehensive) workhorse. Its high return on a low investment.

Braun’s newest and most muscled trimmer can do far more than tidy up your beard: swap in the nose and ear trimmer, the precision head, or the longer guards for general upkeep. It’s the perfect lightweight-but-heavy-duty tool to tote in your gym bag or travel dopp, offering a couple months of beard-trimming sessions on its 3-hour runtime. As for customization, you can trim at 0.5-mm intervals all the way up to 20 mm. It’s also a must-have for minimalists, since all it takes is a simple head swap to activate its different functions.

Bevel’s hybrid hair clipper and beard trimmer is an upgrade of its best-selling original trimming device. This new one has all the guard heads for a precise trim, a professional line up, and even a buzz cut. Rather than guards, the device uses a magnetized head to adjust from a zero-gap close shave on up, at ultra-precise 0.1mm intervals. It’s got the same heft and gorgeous design of its predecessor, along with four hours of cordless battery life.

Beard trimming gets messy, fast. You get clippings in your beard, on your hands, in your sink—but Remington’s trimmer keeps the process clean while also keeping your beard tidy. It sucks up the large majority of hairs as they fall (up to 95 percent, says the brand), making for easy disposal afterwards. It’s got a detailing attachment and can also trim up to 18mm, plus is fully rinseable (and easily cleaned) so that you keep the device itself free from bacteria as the hairs collect.
The Best Travel-Friendly Trimmer

This pair of lightweight, battery-powered trimmers is great if you need to line up edges and snip at strays while away from home. (Why pack something expensive and cumbersome for a weekend away?) The nose-hair clipper might not be worth packing on all but the longest trips, but it cleans up fuzzy nostrils and errant eyebrows nicely.
