Beardscape Length Guards

The standard depth guards are total garbage. They are difficult to attach to the trimmer. The guard must be placed just so in order to get the correct connection. Beyond that, they're not at all well made. The edge of the guards that goes against your skin has sharp, unfinished plastic protrusions that scrape and cut your face. I've tried removing them but to no avail.

The trimmer itself seems well made. The zero clearance blade definitely trims very closely without nicking. The only observation is that the length adjustment does not move easily to a shorter length simply by pushing down the lock button. It needs two hands.

Guards break supper easy, bought extra ones and broke after 2 uses

Ordered a replacement guard for one that broke.

I purchased two of these replacement guards in the same size because I keep my beard the same length. I really don’t understand how everybody doesn’t have this problem: the guards break extremely easily. After the first guard that came with my new trimmer broke almost immediately, I thought I could just be very careful moving forward and get a couple of replacements. So I put the first replacement on and simply never removed it for over a month. No problems. I removed the guard once for cleaning and oiling, and one of the cheap tabs broke off literally the second time I ever tried to put it on. And I was being as careful as I could at this point because I knew they were easily breakable. So I put on the second replacement that I had already purchased in anticipation of this problem. It broke within a week. And it isn’t just the tabs on the side that are problematic; the guards are very flexible, thin, and feel cheap. It’s a shame because I really like everything else about my trimmer. But I can’t jus keep buying replacements forever either. If I knew this would be such a problem, I might have purchased the magnetic guards immediately. I really hope that Brio will phase out the plastic ones and just make the magnetic guards the standard for everything. But with shipping, these two replacements were $18. Not a major expense, but what am I supposed to do moving forward? At this rate, I could easily go through 8 to 10 guards per year, and that’s just silly.

The length guards work great.

And now I have no way to use my trimmer and can’t buy a replacement part in Australia. My shaver is now useless!

I bought my version 1 years ago and made the mistake of travelling with it. Broke on my first flight and since I only use one size this became me neck trimmer and I had to resort to other cheaper products that didn’t do as good a job but the guards are made tough. Wish I investigated the warranty better to see they are covered in the first 2 years. The trimmer itself is excellent and built strong and feels well made.

Works well but a bit tricky to keep on.

Excellent customer service from this company. Any issues with a gaurd or anything they are very responsive and accommodating. Thanks

Thank you for the quick response to replacing the broken guard.
