My brother has a rather manly beard and needs a new beard trimmer for christmas.
The babyliss i-stubble everyone raves about looks good, but it only goes to a maximum setting of 5mm apparantely, so thats no good.
are there any other decent ones with longer settings for around £30?

I use this... http://m.philips.co.uk/m/facial-stylers-and-grooming-kits/beardtrimmer-series-7000-pro-with-multifunctional-display-qt4090_32/prd/
Never really rated the babyliss after the original. Although that link says £60 can be had for. £30ish if shop around think got mine in ASDA for £30!

I've had this one for about 2 years and it's been flawless: http://uk.remington-europe.com/men/grooming/beard-trimmers/barba-mb320c.html
Does up to 18mm it seems too and has a smaller flip out trimmer for doing around the mouth etc.

I ordered myself one of those mb320c ones just yesterday. Decided on it after reading so many good reviews for it. Babyliss ones seem a bit hit and miss.

I was going to get that remington one but saw another in argos which was cheaper. They seemed exactly the same apart from one being called 'contour' and the other 'barba'

Can't complain for the price. Reviews seem good also.

he doesn't want to look like a 12 year old boy though.
I don't shave either. I like looking rough. It stops the gays being attracted to me. It's like a natural repellant.

Will it need to be sweat proof or does your problem not run in the family?

Why? Because you don't want us to keep reminding you the moment where you told a (mainly) male car-based internet forum that you shape your eyebrows with tweezers?
Your fault buddy, your fault

He has shaped them into gutters so his constantant sweating doesn't run into his eyes dom.

The guy is sweating all the time. It must be a medical condition so possibly shouldn't laugh at him.

At least I don't live with my crippled old mum mate. I pay my own way in life.
Shame on you really for taking advantage of her.
Yes I sweat, big deal. It means i'm manly.
You were a fat cunt and most likely have saggy skin and stretch marks, but you don't see me telling the world (until now, of course).

If my mother wasn't in the best health I'd offer her to live with me.
If I hadn't moved out already I'd probably stay.
Seems the nicest thing to do. Much nicer than leaving at home by herself to deteriorate.

he insults me enough and I just ignore it. I just don't understand why he has to bully others.
He must have very low self esteem and psychological issues.

What IS all the sweating lark Ben and how would/could/does Nic even know?
Just curious as to the origin of it all.

He saw a photo of me eating food in turkey, outside whilst it was 37 celcius. I was obviously sweating.
Now he has to tell the world because he thinks its funny.
Poor guy.
