I haven’t been shy about my love for this device, naming it the best overall beard trimmer—wet or dry—so there was little deliberation in placing it at the top of this list. But it’s not just that it’s the best-performing trimmer out there, which it is; this is also about how well it performs when wet. A lot of waterproof trimmers diminish in power and functionality when used in the shower.

Sure, you don’t have to worry about them malfunctioning or short-circuiting from water exposure, but they are nowhere near as effective when wet. The Series 9, on the other hand, has no drop-off in quality. It still glides through hair just as swiftly and precisely as when it’s dry. Plus, it’s built for true head-to-toe grooming with 10 attachments that offer up to 40 length options.

Its powerful motor easily handles dense and longer growth efficiently while minimizing pulling and tugging. To be clear, I don’t use the same Series 9 on my face and body because, well, that’s nasty (you don’t want to be exchanging bacteria all across your body and face like that). To be ridiculous, I have two Series 9 trimmers: one for my face and one for my body—and I can confirm it works just as effectively for each.

So, no matter what type of wet trimming you’re looking to accomplish, there is no better tool out there. The charging dock is sturdy and convenient, and the hard-shell travel case is durable without being heavy, making it easy to toss in a carry-on.
