Whether that’s a neatly trimmed beard at any length or subtle designer stubble, the adjustable and removable comb offers plenty of options when it comes to cutting length. As for trimming head hair, the Braun CruZer6 has a separate cutting comb to achieve different lengths with ease.

Trimmer clip for beards and hair

The provided beard comb allows you to choose from six different cutting lengths (1mm - 11mm) with the hair comb offering six further options (10mm - 20mm) to allow for customised styles for both beard and head hair length.

Both clips have click and lock functionality to change the length and keep it in place without slippage. Length is changed at the press of a button either side of the head for easy adjustments.

Blades

The Braun CruZer6 comes equipped with ultra sharp stainless steel cutting blades for easy maintenance and cleaning. As well as its main blade for trimming beard and head hair, the smaller precision trimmer has been designed specifically for beard styling, even in hard to reach areas and it conveniently pops up with the press of a button and a sliding action to release the trimmer.

The comb can remain attached when the precision trimmer is in use and it’s perfect for stray hairs or cutting into your beard for a more defined and maintained look.

Grip and body

The smoother plastic around the detachable combs and buttons allow for easier glide but the rubberised back gives a firm grip when in use - with the power button on the back of the model, it’s easier to turn the trimmer on and off. The body is completely sealed and prevents dust or water from entering the shaver, which means easier cleaning when running the trimmer under the water. The Braun CruZer6 is for cordless use to.

Despite the Braun CruZer6 being at the lower end of the beard trimming market when it comes to cost, it’s the perfect multi purpose trimmer and works brilliantly for those who’re just starting to use electric shaver products.

Powerful dual battery system

The trimmer is equipped with a powerful dual battery system that makes it easy to adjust to all hair conditions, even trimming tough beard hair. From the thinnest to the thickest hair, the motor is powerful and constant in its consistency without dipping in speed or power.

By keeping constant trimming power even on tough conditions, the cruZer 6 Beard & Head ensures an even trim without the risk of irregularities and having to revisit the same spot twice. Generally a one-hour charge will last for 40 minutes use. The trimmer has a charging and low-charge LED indicator to alert you when your battery needs to be charged.

The Shavers expert team and customers find the Braun CruZer6 excellent value for money. The trimmer holds excellent consistency, accurate trimming and is easy to clean and maintain, with parts still available after general wear and tear. It’s a great first trimmer and replacement for old, tired trimmers without having to fork out on a costly item for quick maintenance. Lightweight and not too nosey, it’d make an excellent travel trimmer with the included travel case and worldwide voltage.

How to trim and maintain a beard

Trim your beard after you’ve showered and when your beard has had the chance to dry. The hair will be more hydrated and easier to cut, as well as being fuller after washing so you can better see the end result as you trim.

Trimming can be done with scissors but trimmers are much more efficient and with the add-ons of precision trimmers for styling, you can be much more precise without accidentally snipping away too much hair.

Product to keep your beard nourished will always be a key factor in growing and maintaining a beard. Beard hair sucks moisture from the skin and can leave the skin dry and flakey. That’s when the dreaded beard itch sets in and so, by using beard oils and balms, you can keep the hair hydrated as well as the skin beneath.
