Beard Club vs. Manscaped – Who’s Got The Best Trimmer?
As a bearded man who values looking his absolute best every day, I put a lot of time and effort into maintaining my beard. I got tired of spending money on random drugstore trimmers, just to have them break on me in a month or two. And I needed more options to be precise with my grooming (I am an engineer after all – precision kind of comes with the territory).
That’s when I came across two standout brands with premium beard trimmer kits out on the market right now — Beard Club PT45 Trimmer Premium Kit and Manscaped Beard Hedger Pro kit. Here’s how the two compare:
If you’re looking for precision….Beard Club’s PT45
As I said, I’m an engineer, so precision is important to me. Comparing the two directly, Beard Club’s PT45 Trimmer has an impressive 45 unique trim lengths. Manscapes Beard Hedger has just 20 different length settings.
Having a wide variety of lengths to choose from is super important when you’re shaping your beard at home. No two beards are the same, so in terms of providing the maximum amount of personalization and grooming potential, this one goes to Beard Club.
If you’re looking for quality and battery life….Beard Club’s PT45
Manscape’s Beard Hedger runs for 60 minutes per charge and has 3 little lights that show you how much charge is left. Not bad – but The PT45 Trimmer by Beard Club boasts an impressive 3 hours of battery life per charge, and it also has an LED screen that shows you the exact percentage of battery life left on the trimmer (remember that whole engineer, precision thing? We like percentages over here).
When we’re looking at battery life – the PT45 wins this round by a landslide. If you’re a guy who travels often or needs to shave every single day, the PT45 will be your beard’s best friend.
If you’re shaving in the shower…Manscaped
Manscaped’s Beard Hedger is waterproof. So you’re free to shave away in the shower as much as you need. I’m more of a mirror-shaving guy, I find that it allows me to be more precise with my trimming, however, I know some guys don’t exactly have the time and they just do quick trim-ups in the shower before work. If that’s you, you’ll want to make sure that the trimmer you purchase stands up to water properly.
If you’re looking for more items and a better kit price…PT45
Manscapes Beard Hedger Pro Kit, including their gift package, gets you 9 items. This includes an assortment of liquid products (balms, shampoos, etc.) and then physical products like combs and brushes for a grand total of $139.99USD (on sale right now from $209.62). Beard Club’s PT45 Trimmer Kit comes with 11 items, as well as an assortment of oils, shampoos and physical grooming products like their handy folding beard comb for a total of $118USD (discounted from $175).
This means Beard Club’s kit includes more items and a higher-quality trimmer for less money. I also prefer Beard Club’s refreshing sandalwood-scented products that feel more sophisticated. Seems like a no-brainer to me, Beard Club takes this round.
The Winner Is…Beard Club
After putting the two kits head to head, I have to say Beard Club exceeded my expectations. Not only does the PT45 feel and perform like a higher-quality trimmer, but the kit it comes with is also much more generous.
The PT45 has become a new staple on my bathroom shelf and in my travel bag. So if you’re looking to step into the world of premium beard grooming (or you know a man who has put it off far too long) check out Beard Club’s PT45 Trimmer Kit. The PT45 is 35% off right now for the holidays, so it’s never been cheaper to get that beard looking its best. Happy trimming, everyone!
