“Build is very plasticky and it cuts no better than $30 trimmers I've had.”
“is one of if not the best product you've recommended in my opinion”
“Last is the Brio Beardscape. Honest it was a splurge because the reviews were so great I had to try it. Not so useful if your only rocking and maintaining a 5 o'clock shadow. But since I've grown out my beard out quite a bit it's been useful. The attachments/combs are a pain in the ass to get on, but once you do this is a beast at cutting through thick beard”
“after 4 yrs, my wire brush of a beard has dulled my blades and, to make matters worse, as of my last usage, I finally ran out of oil”
“My V1 has turned on more than once even in the travel case but has been amazing otherwise since 2018!”
“Beard scape is so overrated”
“I’ve been using the Brio beardscape V2 for just under 3 years now and haven’t had any issues but I only use it about 2x a month”
“Very bad experience with Brio Beardscape V2. Which is their latest version in 2024. The product is very uncomfortable to the skin. It is not waterproof at all, so do not even think of bringing it close to water for cleaning purposes (Image it's 2024, you spent $120 on a trimmer, which can't handle even a single drop of water). The attachments are very hard t”
“Surprised how many people like this. With the lowest setting only 1.0mm.”
“Tried the trimmer last night. Bad news is the blades didn't move at all, and it didn't cut at all.”
“I won one and use it on my beard and for trimming its great. The only thing I don't like is the guards can be difficult to attach. So much so that sometimes I am afraid they might come off while trimming(especially my balls). I've never used it and never will for body grooming until that issue is addressed.”
“if you have a v1 (I've had mine for 4 years) and it works, then theres no reason to get a v2”
“Still love mine.”
“I received the Brio BeardScape v2 a few days ago and used the zero blade to line up my cheeks, neck and mustache. First impression: It works well and doesn’t bite, but need more time with it. The zero blade is .2mm, which is supposed take the place of the Gillette Mach3 cartridge razor for the lineups. Less prep and much quicker. Not as close to skin but sh”
“The first one didn't last very long before it wouldn't charge, so miss me with the brio”
“Brio Beardscape is the best one I’ve used so far”
“I had higher expectation on BRIO, but the blade and the white got stuck directly”
“While it's certainly quieter than many others at lower RPMs, at 7000 RPM, the noise level ramps up and may not be as quiet as you'd expect.”
“I returned mine. Didn’t cut that well compared to the $50 andis slimline pro”
“The V2 does glide through hair with less resistance, was hoping to replace the Wahl but I guess the V2 will be a dedicated body groomer.”
“Brio beardscape! I kid you not, one charge can last a year depending on how often he trims his beard. One of the best quality chargeable beard trimmers on the market”
“I’m a big fan of the Brio Beardscape trimmer as well as wahl’s trimmer as a close second.”
“it seems like mine is 100x louder. I mean the beep, it's absurdly loud.”
“why do I have difficulty attaching the plastic attachment in the correct position? It's always off by a little.”
