BaByliss Super X Metal Beard & Stubble Trimmer S996U

Sturdy, feels premium

Excellent shaver, charges quickly. Feels heavy and sturdy and whilst I've only used it for two weeks it certainly feels robust and will last the course compared to the previous shaver I have used. Good range of cutting lengths.

The best I've used

I think this is a great trimmer, The trimmer is made well and feels very robust. The battery lasts for a long period It’s been used 14 times so far on a single charge and the recharging time of around an hour and 30 minutes is great and is a lot quicker than previous trimmers I have owned. The fact that’s its waterproof makes my routine easier as I can use it in the shower and makes the cleaning of the trimmer effortless. The design of the trimmer is very well thought out, You don’t need mess about changing the cutting length heads like other models as you can adjust the length at the press of a button and the cutting length indicator on the front shows the length setting, The plastic on top of the blade great as it enables a smooth trim rolling with the contours of your face giving you a precise cut, The trimmer is heavy but makes you feels like you have more control compared to lighter models. The blades feel like they are exceptional quality and there no snagging and pulling hair. The charging point makes a refreshing change compared to my old trimmer as it uses USB-C which is convenient as I no longer need to use a different cable as it is the same connection as my mobile devices.

Quality Trimmer

This is an excellent piece of grooming equipment. After trying several trimmers, this one consistently delivers the closest cut while still being gentle on sensitive skin. I use it primarily for trimming and shaving my head, and it provides an impressively smooth, close finish. The packaging indicates a 0.4 mm cut length when using the comb attachment; without the comb, the cut is noticeably shorter—approximately 0.3 mm or less. The metal trimmer head is designed with rounded, non-sharp teeth covered by a smooth plastic layer, allowing it to glide comfortably across the skin. Although the trimming head is relatively narrow, which initially seemed like a drawback, it actually improves precision in hard-to-reach areas such as around the ears and the back of the head. I have not fully tested the battery capacity, but so far it appears capable of delivering between 8 and 12 complete trims on a full charge. Overall, this is one of the best options available for achieving an exceptionally close, clean stubble

Quick and easy to use, looks and feels great

Looks and feels great while shaving, easy to adjust to required length, charges quickly and lasts a while before needing to recharge, would be great if it could be adjusted more than 5mm but cuts evenly and smooth, the 3 second hold lock feature is great so can’t be turned on by mistake, overall a very nice trimmer without the mess about changing heads

Great product just a little bulky in your hands

Great product, i like how the desired length can be chosen and it adjusts automatically, the smallest length being 0.4mm, It does feel a bit bulky in your hand and can be a bit awkward to use, i like that it actually comes with a proper uk plug rather than an EU plug to charge it. If you are wanting to shape your beard and keep it neat, you may struggle a bit with this product.

Premium kit, for your face

This is an excellent product. The battery life is exceptional and the weight of the device gives a premium feel in you hand without being too heavy. The best feature is by far the micro adjustable blade height, which lets you get your trim really dialled in. The trim can be tight enough to take it back to the skin. Would definitely recommend.

Great Beard Trimmer once it's on!

The instant you collect this razor, you discover that it's a premium product. Everything about it screams premium, the glossy box is lovely. Opening the box it's like an experience. The beard and stubble trimmer is proudly on display. However, there were absolutely no instructions in my box, I'm not normally one to read instructions, but I couldn't even turn the thing on. After some trial and error I discovered you have to hold the power button down to unlock it and then turn the trimmer on. It works really well once I figured out how to get it to work. This is designed mainly to leave stubble and do some general tidying. It will not give you a clean shave, trust me I tried. However, if you want stubble then it's perfect. The length can be adjusted using the buttons on the front, but the length only works if you are using the comb to cut with. One of the nicest features is the addition of the USB C port on the bottom. This is a standard cable, nothing special, so you can charge it easily without having to have a draw full of different power bricks! I really appreciate this on a product like this. The trimmer itself is very high quality and feels great. It has a nice weight in the hand and is solid.

Perfect for head and beard stubble only

Perfect for head and beard stubble only, the smaller cutting area and adjustable cutting height by 0.2mm gives you great control. But with only going to 5mm max height and unable to change guard side dose limit use. The attached guard so never going to lose and motorised height adjustment is easy to use and looks cool. USB C charging is great to see.

Exceptional Precision for Perfect Stubble

This beard trimmer delivers outstanding performance with its Japanese steel blades that cut smoothly without tugging. The floating head effortlessly follows facial curves for comfortable, precise trimming every time. I love the motorized length control from 0.4mm to 5mm in 0.2mm increments, shown clearly on the LED display, which means no more swapping guards. It's fully waterproof for easy shower use and cleaning, plus the battery offers 90 minutes of runtime from a 1.5-hour charge, with a handy 5-minute quick charge for one shave.The premium metal build feels durable and balanced in hand, backed by a 3-year guarantee. This trimmer has transformed my grooming routine,highly recommended for anyone seeking pro-level stubble control.
