    This review is from: Philips Norelco QT4021 Stubble Trimmer (Health and Beauty)
    Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) A stubble trimmer literally does that - allows you to "create stubble" on your face from a longer beard. You might find this a little silly, but in the end it's no sillier or more normal than choosing any other hair style or face style. If you enjoy having the James Bond five o'clock shadow stubble beard look, then this would be the device to help you maintain that level.

    This works the same way an eyebrow trimmer does. You have the trimmer part, and then a comb that sets the height of the hair. To be more precise, it is exactly a beard trimmer.

    It's first setting - the smallest one - gives you a stubble. The second one maybe does. By the third setting you're at "normal" beard or mustache trimming lengths. There are settings out past a half inch. I'm not sure how that qualifies as stubble. From that perspective, this is really just a beard trimmer that does have a "stubble" setting at its lowest point.

    Item 2. The unit is fairly large. If you're trying to keep some facial hair and stubble the rest, it's hard to detail with it. The blades are fairly deep in the unit, making it hard to make an edge. The only way to edge is to remove the whole outside part and edge with the naked blade. The plastic blade "bounces" in and out away from the blade area which doesn't seem to be useful or helpful at all. It seems to gather a lot of hair inside the unit when it trims, rather than letting it fall into the sink. I would count that as "bad" in terms of that area filling up.

    It does clean very easily because the entire top unit is press-fit into the main unit. It comes with a little brush. Most units of this type come with a little tube of oil. This one doesn't - but maybe long term it doesn't need one? Or do they assume you'll buy some of your own?

    We have other beard trimmers which can do stubble and which work much better than this unit. If anything, this might be useful for someone looking for a crew cut - set it to notch 4 or 5 and run it over your entire head.

    For charging there is a cord you plug into a wall, which you can detach from the hand held unit part.

    This really seems to be a beard trimmer with a new, trendy name. It works well enough at that role - I'll give it four stars - but it's nothing different or special.
