Our Definitive Ranking of the 11 Best Beard Trimmers of 2020 by William Goodman

When it comes to styling your facial hair, the line between a messy, overgrown Rip Van Wrinkle beard and a perfectly on-trend look is often a delicate dance. A little bit of growth on either side can really make or break a beard.

With the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it can be difficult to find the time to work out properly. So it’s just as tough to find the time to recover the right way. However, ensuring your body is well enough for another workout is just as critical as the exercise itself, as rest and recovery are key elements in helping to build muscle while staying injury-free.
