#5 Remington MB 200 Titanium Mustache and Beard Trimmer
Unfortunately, Remington did not made it to our top 10 list of the best electric razors even though they were the first company to developed electric shavers and released their first brand of electric shavers back in 1937. But the Remington MB 200 Titanium Beard Trimmer truly deserves to be a top contender in any list of best beard trimmers. This amazing trimmer is the least expensive in our list and it is just so nice that some men bought it twice. The trimmer has an easy-to-use “zoom wheel” feature which is just fantastic. It allows you to easily set and adjust the length settings you desire within its 9 length settings ranging from 1.5mm – 18mm. In just a few strokes, you can tell how high or low you want the settings to be, and put it there. It also features titanium covered blades that are very strong and will last longer than most. The trimmer can also hold its charge for a long time. It boasts its own self-sharpening capability where blades are lubricated permanently, which means no oil is needed. The Remington Mb-200 has blades wide enough to provide broad coverage that will result in straighter lines and edges, while trimming time is reduced as well. This trimmer is not washable nor can you use cleaning fluids that may remove the lubrication.

Some users didn’t really find the laser guide to be that useful and added that “why has it got a laser guide, when the laser also moves each time we move the trimmer”. A few of its users found it quite handy in achieving their desired beard shape (maybe those users experimented more and found ways to utilize the laser guide feature). Aside from the laser guide which ads a distinctive and unique function, users were happy with their purchase finding it got the job done efficiently and is also very easy to use.
