Brio Beardscape V1 Beard Trimmer for Men Professional with Low Friction Ceramic Blade, Cordless Professional Hair Trimmer for Barbers with 4 Hrs of Long Battery Timing, Ideal for Beard & Body (Black)

I've trimmed my head, beard and body for my entire adult life (I'm 42) so I've had a few trimmers, some were ok, some not and I know what I'm talking about. Presentation: The Beardscape arrived in a nice, magnetic opening box that you can reuse to store it and its accessories or you can use it to store other stuff. Each compartment comes covered with cardboard lids printed with the shapes of the parts underneath it. In it you'll find the Beardscape, two combs with two different lengths each, a charging base, a long USB power cord, an iPhone-like 110-220 Volt power adapter, a brush, a bottle of oil, a small instruction booklet and a warranty card. Design and construction: The Beardscape is made of high quality plastics in light and dark grey tones, the blades are made of ceramic for the moving blade and titanium for the static blade. The static blade has smooth, rounded teeth. It has an adjustment lever to change the height of the cutting blade from 1 to 1.9 millimeters in 4 steps for very precise cutting lengths. It has a rocker switch to change the speed of the motor between 5000 and 7000 RPMs in 4 steps and a power on/off button. At the bottom of the Beardscape is an LCD screen where you can see the speed setting, the remaining battery time, an indicator to oil the blades, another to show if it is plugged and charging and a burden meter to show if the blades are moving freely or not. The Beardscape feels hefty and solid in the hand with no creaks when you grab it firmly, the blade height lever has firm locking positions and the rocking lever and on/off switch have a nice, clicky action with no rattle. Usage: After charging the battery for the first time and turning it on, the sound of the motor makes you wonder if it will be powerful enough, even at the highest speed it sounds less than half as loud as my one year old Phillips Multigroom but as soon as you start cutting you realize that it is not underpowered as it cuts decisively and without pulling hairs even at its lowest speed. It is a strange feeling for the first few uses that this thing that vibrates so little and is so quiet, cuts as well and with such precision. The Beardscape can be used wirelessly with the integrated lithium battery or plugged to the wall with the power adapter and USB cable which plugs to the charging stand or directly to the trimmer. The battery lasts a long time and I hope that with good care it will stay this way. Lithium batteries are very different from standard Ni-Mh or the older Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries, they are very powerful and could even be dangerous if not cared for properly but with basic care they can have a long life and are perfectly safe. They don't like to be totally discharged or overcharged but they don't have a memory-effect so try to keep the Beardscape in a medium state of charge, it is ok to charge it completely and let it run out from time to time but try to keep it between 20-80% of charge, especially when storing it. Don't leave it charging on its stand or at least disconnect the stand so the battery is not kept at 100% charge all the time. The blades have to be oiled from time to time to reduce friction and maximize battery life but the choice of titanium and ceramic already reduce friction and heat. Trimming my head, beard and neck at a medium speed for 30 minutes barely produces any heat on the blades or the motor. Comparing again to my Phillips Multigroom, the blades of the Phillips get quite hot in this amount of time. It is not waterproof or even splash proof but if it were, you would have to oil the blades more frequently. This is the only thing that I think that could be improved in a future model. Conclusion: As I wrote in the title of this review, this is by far the best trimmer I've had by far. It is a solid, high quality product with great design and good choice of materials. It feels much more expensive than what it costs, I recommend it highly.

Love it. Gentle on skin. Multiple settings. Charge holds a Long time. V1 very similar to V2, except cheaper. Needs close cut clipper head... Not included.

This trimmer is by far my favorite trimmer I've ever owned! I've had mine for almost 2 years now and it is the best by a long shot. It gives my beard a solid trim and nice lineup when I need to get close without ever cutting or nicking my skin. I also had an issue a few months ago where one of my docks stopped working. Brio sent me a new one without question. I more recently had the battery stop holding charge and reached out and again the company took care of me. Even when I asked about sending the old device back they told me not to worry and linked me to a few places where I can recycle the old device. I don't often write reviews but when a business goes above and beyond for the customer, I have to do my part. Not only do they have a great product but that level of customer service is top notch and doesn't go unnoticed. If you're on the fence about this device versus another, go with this one. You can trust that they will have your back if you have any issues and they build a solid product (again, BEST TRIMMER I've used and I've used dozens of them over the years).

Ill never buy another beard trimmer again this thing is awesome it does everything I need it is a high quality trimmer with mulitiple adjustment settings! You can lower the speed on it to preserve battery life, love the little screen on it that tells you how many more minutes it has left before it turns off. Come with a couple diffrent guards my only conplaint would be is you have to make sure the guards are seated properly because it is so easy for them to look like theyre on there but they will fall off. Overall its worth the investment if youre looking for a good trimmer!

I thought I'd get some use from this before writing a review. My initial impressions were very positive as I am used to beard and body trimmers more in the 30-45 dollar price range with experience in even cheaper options (stay away from shavers less than 20 bucks). There are a few things that set this shaver apart from the less expensive alternatives. 1. The cutting mechanism on this razer appears to be ceramic. Ceramic can maintain a very sharp cutting edge for a very long time (longer than metal in my experience) but is brittle making it not ideal for knives and other tools that may see harsh treatment. For a shaver? Perfect. The leading edge is metal to protect the blade allowing it to never actually touch your skin. This also allows it to avoid nicking you when pressed directly against your skin vertically (Think lining up your sideburns or other more sensitive areas). 2. The micro-adjustments on this shaver are very good. There is a slide mechanism on the razers head that allows for very small adjustments. It also locks in place in case you get a little sloppy with your grip or finger placement while shaving. Speaking of micro-adjustments, you can actually adjust the motor speed of the trimmer to go from turbo-ish cutting power to something a little more smooth and easy for more sensitive areas. This is also a feature that I love on this trimmer. 3. The battery life appears to be excellent. While I've only owned this a couple of weeks, I use it almost daily and so far I have not had to charge it once. Big plus. There is a digital readout on the trimmer that gives you some stats like speed and charge and it still looks great. The only downside I can see for this trimmer is that It is not waterproof. I do not shave in the shower so that feature isn't a deal-breaker for me but I do like to occasionally rinse the head off and I know this trimmer requires care of precision if I am going to be doing that. This is not a big enough downside for me though to not give this trimmer 5 stars since it does state upfront that it is not waterproof. If you've been using inexpensive trimmers that after months of use begin to pull or tug on your hair instead of the experience you got when it was brand new, have a trimmer with less than stellar battery life, or just want to try what a premium trimmer feels like and stop buying new trimmers every year or two, Id seriously considers getting this one. It's fantastic.

5 months into owning this product and just about every single guard it came with has broken. The trimmer itself is fine but the guards are really cheap. They are flimsy, annoying the put on, pull hair, and will snap.

After many attempts to find a good all around trimmer, I have to say I’ve landed on this one and I love it. It’s built like a tank. You can feel it when you pick it up. The settings are very adjustable for any contour and any thickness. The attachments are great and go with a nice snap to secure. The battery is who knows how long but I’ve yet to have to put it on the charger since I’ve received it!! That alone is impressive! Quality all the way around! You can’t go wrong with this trimmer for the money, it’s worth every penny.

This is a very good trimmer. Well built, comfortable and very quiet irrespective of what speed you use, which I think is its main strength. Battery life is very good. Fine adjustments to hight are very precise and lock well in place. Have no issues trimming my beard. However, there are to main drawback, which are the reason I didn't rate it 5 stars: 1. It doesn't come with a detachable cutting blade and a second narrow cutting blade as you find in most trimmers. So if you need finer trimming jobs like mustaches over your top lip you'll need to get yet another trimmer that has a narrow blade. This is very inconvenient. I would prefer to have one trimmer which does it all. 2. Attachments to adjust cutting hight are hard to lock in place. It take few tries until you get it in place. Otherwise, I would recommend this product if absence of a narrow cutting blade is not an issue. I used a Wahl cordless trimmer before and I absolutely hate it because it's noisy and vibrations that you feel in your hand aver very annoying.

Amazing beard trimmer, the only con which is minor is that it is a bit fiddly to put on the attachments but apart from that this is the best beard trimmer for beards in the market, in my opinion. You will not be disappointed. Great for longer beards and I can see it would be great for shorter beards too!

Great packaging , came in clean. Great quality product ! Works wonder !

Absolutely fantastic trimmer and it looks great in all black. I have quite a big beard and have only used this for shaping and getting rid of flyaway hairs, but I can see that it would also be great for shorter beards. Quality build and fantastic battery life, can’t fault it.

Received the trimmer today. I'm very impressed with it but be very careful when using. At different angles can be very sharp. Maybe because it was my first time using the machine. As a lot of the reviews of said which I totally agree with the head attachments take a bit of getting used to. That is my only con. Hopefully I'll get years of use out of this one. Would totally recommend this trimmer.

Even better than expected. Does everything, and is a great piece of kit.
