Oh, I got them facial hair blues again mama...

Playing Bill Sikes has required me to become scruffy-looking. As the run of the show has gone on (we've added another weekend after labor dabor--road trip to Memphis anyone?), however, the beard has moved from the scruff department to the beard department. As a result, I believe I am in the market for a beard trimmer.

Does anyone have a recommendation? Do the beard flowbees work? I don't think scissors (which I normally use when I have an actual beard) will provide anything like an even level of stubbliness.

Also, I shall from henceforth tag all entries with suspected neologisms contained therein.

...I would never trust a flowbee, but that's just me. I use a set of Wahl trimmers that work great, but the drawbacks--and if you don't mind these things then I'd totally recommend it--are that you have to plug it into the wall and that the damn thing vibrates loudly and strongly enough to pleasure any woman who stands within five feet of it, which makes it a little uncomfortable to hold.

Conair makes a cheapy set that sucks, so don't use those. I had to return it.

How much was your Beardgasm trimmer?

My beard is intermixed with strands of steel wool. I've never met an electric shaver that could stand up to it, let alone a beard trimmer.

$25 or so? It's a powerful little monster.

I have no idea, but I'll ask Josh what he uses.

Treencter has a nice dealy that plugs in as well as holds a charge for while. It has an adjustable guard and everything. I believe it ia a Braun, and I like the way it vibrates, thankyouverymuch.

And you know that if we own it, it couldn't have been too expensive--unless he recieved it as a gift. It is pretty old, which also says something for its longevity.

It even works nicely on Treencter's newly sporting crew cut. Incedently, even with 1/2 hair, you can't see his scalp. jealous.
