How short?

A Babyliss i-trim goes down to stubble length (0.5mm) and is very good indeed. I use one for perma stubble.

I used to use normal hair clippers cheaper than a beard trimmer and last longer. Now I just shave with them not using the plastic gaurd so it's a grade 0.5, just oil them every 2 months or so.

The i-trim goes from 0.5mm to 14mm in half mm steps. I use 0.5mm.

Tried hair clippers but the "finish" was patchy and not short enough.

Great reviews on Amazon and great reviews from other STW users last time this question came up (can't find it in search though)

Get the Remington, set on 1, job done. I use mine once or twice a week on 3 or 4. It's just the right tool for the job.

And rinse out the sink too.
