Beard trim!
2 min readYes I trimmed my beard!
I had been thinking about having a trim and a big trim for a while and last week I decided that I would go for it.
I decided it would be a good to use the trim for a review of some beard clippers and so I contacted Wahl and they sent the Aqua Blade for review.

I did expect to regret the trim instantly and yet I really wanted to take the beard down to a short length, but I haven’t regretted it, no ‘I wish I could go back in time’ feeling.
When the Wahl clippers arrived my two year old granddaughter asked what they were, I explained and she said she didn’t want me to do it, after all she has never known me without a long beard!
So when my wife took her round to pick her brother up from school, I set up the camera, got the clippers out and went for it!
My wife isn’t a fan of the beard, but she is very good and doesn’t moan about it as she knows how much I love having a beard.

So when they returned I had a shemagh wrapped around my face and filmed my grand-children’s reaction and it is fair to say Olivia wasn’t impressed. VIDEO OF REVEAL AT END OF POST!
I think the only thing that I dislike about the shorter beard is that it is very spiky and last night as I snuggled into bed, there was no beard creating a seal with the sheets.
I do have to stop putting so much beard oil and balm in my hand as I no longer need that much.
Will I grow it back?
Yep, I am already day one into the re-grow!
UPDATE:
Two months on and the beard has obviously grown but I am very happy with a short beard and I am about to have another trim!
