Hedging my bets!
I have had two other beard trimmers that I was happy with, but battery charge didn't last long, even when pulling straight off of the charging unit. The Beard Hedger was the most expensive trimmer I've purchased, and I was hesitant to commit. After the first use, I feel it is worth the money. What was requiring multiple "passes" on my beard is completed on the first pass with the Beard Hedger. I didn't notice a decrease in power throughout the entire trim/shave, and it comes in a very nice travel case for easy storage and packing when on the go. If you're on the fence, go for it!
