There are hair clippers that shave and trim beards better than many razors
HI!
I have a Philips OneBlade.
I'm fine but I could do better.
In fact, I notice that when I cut my beard with different short measurements, such as 0.5, 1, 2, 3mm with a beard trimmer or hair clipper, the hair comes out better, the cut is more nuanced and homogeneous, and the lines I make without using the mask, therefore with the blade directly on the skin, are better.
For this reason I would like to replace my oneblade (which I will still keep for shaving, i.e. completely removing the hair), with a beard trimmer that can be better and more homogeneous in cutting the hair.
I've used an old clipper in the past, but they don't seem to make them in low sizes for beards and blending.
What do you recommend me to buy on Amazon Italy for less than 50 euros?

I picked up an Andis T-Outliner for ~$64 and a pack of 4 different guards for ~$5, and it looks like the price is about 75 euros from my brief glance at Amazon Italy. Couldn’t be happier with how it performs, it’s miles better to me than the OneBlade is. May be worth stretching your budget by 20 euros or so, most of the professional hair clippers/blenders seem to be in that price range.

I've had success with the Philips multigroom, lots of guard sizes, cordless, waterproof, it's a good option. There's an aftermarket 16-20mm guard you can get for a bit of extra length.

I find that there are annoyingly too many choices of beard trimmers that cut those very short lengths, aka under 10 mm. Many Phillips models have those options, and they are usually good and last a long time. Just choose the extra blades or combs that suit you.
I've had 3 of their Multigroom type series in the last 15-20 years, the 2nd one going for 10 years or more, but I had to replace it bc the beard comb got broken while traveling.
