Beard trimmer review: Beard but fair

Translation: machine translated
It's cheap and it has a really cool name. The Beardboss from Remington shows my beard the master and I'm delighted with it.
I am a beard diva. I only let my hairdresser touch my best bits. That sounds very arrogant. And it is. But not without reason.
So far, I haven't found a beard trimmer that didn't have any flaws. With my last one, it was the attachments that determine the distance to the blade. They were so loose that shaving was like walking a tightrope. Without a net and double bottom. More than once, the fragile attachment fell off in the middle of shaving and cut a swathe of destruction through my facial hair. I then had to trim the beard to millimetres to conceal the hole.
My previous beard trimmers had other shortcomings: not enough battery, cable too short or whatever. As a result, I've only been having my beard trimmed by my hairdresser for almost ten years now. Cutting my beard once costs me as much as this appliance.
Who's the boss here?
These days, however, I have to act out of necessity. My beard and hairdresser KB is closed. I can live with long hair, but not with a long beard. I have ventured into facial hair myself and treated myself to the affordable BeardBoss.
Battery-powered, easy to use, without a lot of frills. I'm thrilled with it - as much as a beard trimmer in this price range can thrill me. I am prepared for plucking and trimming, but feel gentle and precise trimming
The scope of delivery is puny: it doesn't come with more than a charging cable and a small brush for cleaning. That's okay. The device trims my beard. Full stop. I've already had multifunction devices with nose hair and ear hair attachments. None of the attachments worked with these devices. The BeardBoss has exactly one attachment and it does what it promises.
I adjust the length in stages and lock the attachment in place with a switch. So it sits rock solid. Nine length settings are available, from 1.5 millimetres to 18. I can also remove the attachment completely to work directly with the scissors. That's it. The battery is supposed to last up to 40 minutes. But who shaves their beard for 40 minutes?
Will I be trimming my beard myself in future? No. Is the BeardBoss my emergency solution? Definitely! <p

Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
