Beard trimmer help!

FIL's care home have asked me to send in a beard trimmer. He has an electric razor already. He has Parkinson's and is quite stopped now so some of the carers struggle to shave under his chin and then it gets left.

I have NO knowledge of these things. DS1 wet shaves, DS2 is a hairy thing but at only 15 he's managing with some all-in-one jobby at the moment.

I want something not too expensive, rechargeable, and easy to operate and clean.

There are 3 million to choose from.

Help!

I think you may want a shaver rather than a beard trimmer as such. (The latter tend to have multiple attachments for different lengths.) I'm afraid that's largely where my knowledge ends.

My feeling is that the 'single roll of foil' type might be easier to manage, and less likely to pinch loose skin, than the '3 rotary disks' type. But that's just a guess.

My dad uses the one with the foils he can't wet/razor shave anymore I can't remember the exact model but it's a Braun.

I was trying to add a photo but I think there is still an issue. Google braun or remington razors.

Thanks. The carer specifically asked for a beard trimmer. He has a good shaver.
I got a Philips all in one for £25. I'm sure that will do the trick.

Oh ok dh has a Rimington beard trimmer it comes with some attachments and a care kit it wasn't particular expensive.

The carers will probably be used to working them .
