This is a product that does only one thing – okay, technically, two things, since it trims and shapes beards and stubble of various lengths – and does them very well. The Series 5000 trimmer gives you the even and precise trim you want when creating your 3-day stubble, short or long beard look. This trimmer can also be used as a hair clipper. The waterproof feature of the BT5502/13 trimmer is also worth mentioning. I absolutely love that I can comfortably use it in the shower or clean it under running water without any worries. This not only simplifies the cleaning process but also ensures the trimmer’s longevity. The convenience of waterproofing cannot be overstated when it comes to grooming tools, and the BT5502/13 trimmer certainly delivers on this front.

And unlike a lot of clippers and trimmers around, these blades require zero oiling, making this a long lasting, easy beard trimmer to maintain. Bottom Line With The Philips BT5502/13 Trimmer mm steps between 0.4–2 mm for a precise short beard style; 0.5 mm steps between 2–5 mm to achieve an even 3-day beard; 1 mm steps above 5 mm for long beard maintenance. I was hoping for an all in 1 trimmer, as I currently use 4 differnt trimmers, this has only managed to replaced 1. so i'm still using 4. but I like this one and how well it fades.

Adjust your combs with the zoom wheel to your preferred trimming length and achieve the beard style you want. Use the short beard comb for 0.4–10 mm length settings or the long beard comb from 10–20 mm. when looking for these trimmers I struggled to find all specific sizes written so i'll list them here. it comes with 2 combs: The blades are poilished stainless steel and measure a fraction over 3cm across, the blades utilise Philips Lift & Trim Pro System and are very smooth with no nipping or catching. The blades also claim to be self sharpening and require not oil to maintain. I did have a Braun shaver years ago and eventually over time it started to nip and tear, we'll just have to see how the Philips hold up, they all start up perfect, but the real test is how they trim over time and repeated use. The trimming really is extra smoot and does not even nip or struggle cutting denser areas of stubble. The innovative Lift & Trim Pro system guides the hair towards the blades for an effortless trim in less strokes As a man who takes pride in maintaining a well-groomed beard, the Philips Beard & Stubble Trimmer BT5502/13 has become an indispensable tool in my grooming arsenal. This trimmer offers several features that have significantly enhanced my grooming routine, but there are a few areas where it could use some improvement, which is why I’m giving it a candid 4-star rating.
