Beard trimmer test: Brooklyn Blade vs. conventional beard trimmer
Which beard trimmer is the best?
Beard trimmers are more in demand than ever. Whether you're aiming for a three-day beard , a well-groomed business look, or a full Viking mane – the right trimmer makes all the difference. And let's be honest: Cheap models do the job, but anyone who takes their beard seriously will quickly realize that there's more to it than that.
We grabbed the Brooklyn Blade and pitted it against the competition's classic trimmers. Spoiler alert: The Brooklyn Blade is a sight to behold – and not just in the bathroom mirror.

Beard trimmer comparison: What characterizes a good beard trimmer?
Precision instead of pulling
The be-all and end-all of trimming : clean cuts without pulling. Sharp blades are a must. The Brooklyn Blade comes with an ultra-precise blade made of stainless steel – and they stay as sharp as the first day, even after months (or years). And the best part? You can even replace the blade – which also puts the Brooklyn Blade at the forefront of sustainability.
Battery life: More than a quickie
Sure, nobody wants to have to plug their trimmer into the charger mid-styling. Many devices only last 90 minutes – but the Brooklyn Blade? It easily runs for up to 3 hours. And if you forget to charge it, the 5-minute quick-charge function takes care of it.
Flexibility: Not all beards are the same
Not every beard is the same. Sometimes you want sharp edges, sometimes you want the entire beard in shape. The Brooklyn Blade offers everything you need—from adjustable length settings to additional attachments. Short, long, contoured? Your thing.
Quality that lasts
Many cheap trimmers end up in the trash after a year or two. The Brooklyn Blade was built to last. High-quality materials, durable blades, a powerful motor—this thing lasts. And yes, Stiftung Warentest also takes a close look at longevity—and so do we.

Why the Brooklyn Blade beats the competition

With up to 3 hours of battery life, it lasts longer than many models out there. The Brooklyn Blade is robustly built, sits securely in the hand, and is easy to clean thanks to removable attachments.

In short: The Brooklyn Blade is powerful, precise and durable – and makes many trimmers on the market look old.
