Silvercrest Cordless Hair & Beard Trimmer

Product Information

The SilverCrest SHBS 500 D3 is a beard trimmer designed to provide precision grooming and styling for men. Made by SilverCrest, a reputable brand in personal care appliances, this trimmer offers a range of features to meet users' grooming needs. Our testers rate every trimmer for how comfortable it is to hold, how easy it is to adjust and read the cutting length, and how easy it is to change the trimmer's combs and heads.

Our testers rate each trimmer for how it trims their facial hair, how smooth and easy to manoeuvre each trimmer is on the moustache, side of their face and on the chin, and if they irritate the skin. Cut with the direction of hair growth for longer beards. It removes hair more slowly and helps avoid a patchy look. For shorter beards, you can go with or against the direction of hair growth. Most beard trimmers are accurate, but consistency varies. On average, most cut within 0.5mm of the chosen setting. The best beard trimmers cut almost all the bristles in our 'quality of trim' test to the same length, while the worst ones there were a mix between under and overcut bristles. Some trimmers have stronger blades. These could glide through soft and hard bristles in our 'quality of trim' test. Others couldn't cut the hard, dense bristles.We also test every trimmer for splash resistance, and put any that claim to be completely waterproof in the shower. Hair/body hair combs Combs that usually cut to a longer length, designed for clipping the hair on your head or other parts of the body.

There's nothing worse than needing to freshen up to find your trimmer is out of juice. We charge each trimmer, from empty, for five minutes and time how long it runs for. Trimmers also vary considerably in this regard. Indeed, though some models have just a main trimmer and pop-up detail trimmer, others come with a range of swap-out attachments including foil shavers and nose-hair trimmers. Some also promise to be able to cut the hair on your head, although they will rarely compare with a dedicated hair clipper. Whether or not these features are important comes entirely down to personal preference. Bear in mind that if you do opt for a model with more attachments, there’s more to clean and lose. Are all trimmers suitable for travelling? We trim them to short, medium and long lengths, measuring a sample of the cut bristles to get a detailed picture of how accurate and precise each trimmer cuts.

Benefits of beard oil

As its name suggests, the trimmer is waterproof so you can use it in the shower and rinse it under the tap to clean it. The Aqua Blade comes with a carry case, too, and lasts an impressive three hours between charges, so if you’ve remembered to charge before you go away, you shouldn’t need to take a charger with you on holiday. We also test the strength and cutting capabilities of each trimmer by cutting dense brush bristles (both soft and tough ones). Hair clippers have bigger blades, and trimmers smaller ones to allow them to cut closer to the skin. With its ergonomic design, the SHBS 500 D3 is comfortable to hold and maneuver, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free grooming process. The device is cordless, powered by a rechargeable battery, which provides convenience and flexibility for use on the go. All the trimmers we've tested so far have passed our splash and waterproof tests, and they work after the drop test. Ease of use

All trimmers are noisy, but some are noticeably louder. We find higher-pitched trimmers more irritating to listen to while using them. Some are noisy enough that you cannot hear whether your hair is, or isn't, being cut. Being able to hear this is useful because you can tell if you’ve got all the hair. What's the difference between a hair clipper and a trimmer? Furthermore, this beard trimmer boasts a sleek and modern appearance, adding a touch of sophistication to any grooming routine. It is designed to be easy to clean and maintain, with detachable parts that can be easily rinsed under running water.More manuals of Beard Trimmers Frequently Asked Questions about SilverCrest SHBS 700 A1 Beard Trimmer Contoured trimmer bodies, with rubber grips, are the comfiest to hold. If this isn't essential for you, we at least found that most beard trimmers we've tested are comfy to hold for a short length of time.

Foil shaver Use if you want a particularly close shave. It uses oscillating blades that sit under a mesh cover. Having said that, all of the models featured here let you remove the comb to gain access to the blade itself for a close trim (usually closer than the listed minimum trimming length). However, not all models are waterproof so with these, you will likely need to remove the comb and then use the supplied brush to clean the trimmer. Most, but not all trimmers require you to oil their blades from time to time. If this is the case, the trimmer will come with the appropriate oil in the box. How about battery life?

The SHBS 500 D3 is equipped with high-quality stainless steel blades that are designed to cut through a variety of hair types with ease. Additionally, it features adjustable cutting lengths, allowing users to achieve the desired hair length and style. The trimmer also includes various attachments, such as combs and guards, to further customize the grooming experience. Nose and ear hair trimmer A cylindrical attachment that can more easily fit in your nostrils and ears to trim this hair. Slowly insert the trimmer – you don't need to force the head into your nose. The grinding noise you hear will tell you the trimmer is removing hairs. If you like your gadgets hi-tech and flashy, this digital beard trimmer is the one. It offers a great range of lengths – from 0.4mm to 5mm – which can be adjusted in 0.2mm increments, making it a great trimmer if you place a premium on precision. The digital display shows exactly what length you’re using, which is handy for preventing cutting mishaps (anyone who’s used a beard trimmer will be familiar with those). As a bonus, it can even remember what cutting length you last used. In truth, that’s more of a fun feature than an essential one, but the battery life display is genuinely useful, showing you how many minutes of cutting time you have left.
