How should I trim my beard with my Philips product?

To trim your beard neatly, efficiently and effectively with your Philips beard trimmer or groomer, follow the tips below.

Wash and dry your beard and face. If your beard trimmer or multigroomer comes with multiple click-on beard combs, you can use these to get the desired hair length. The numbers on the combs indicate the length of the remaining hair after trimming. Simply click-on the appropriate comb onto the appliance and start trimming. If your appliance comes with an adjustable comb, set the right setting first.

If your product comes with a click-on skin-protect comb, this can help you protect your skin while creating a close trim. The skin-protect comb is designed to give you a comfortable, clean look while providing complete skin protection. The comb guides the skin away from the blades for a close, smooth trim.

But when you trim for the first time, you may start by using the comb with the maximum trimming length setting or the highest length setting to familiarise yourself with the product first.

Go against the direction of hair growth to remove excess bulk. Repeat using shorter trim settings until you're happy with the length.
