Over a year ago, I was looking to get the trimmer and was pretty sent on buying the man scape trimmer mostly due to advertising. Found your channel in your review on it and decided to do more research and ended up going with the Brio. Thank you for creating great content!
Don't ever fall for the hype! It's only heavily promoted on social media platforms cause the "influencers" make a big fat commission when someone uses their "code". Imagine a RUclipsr with millions of subscribers and if they can get 10 or even 5% of their audience to buy this product, how much are they making? Profits are huge! But the fact remains the product is garbage!
Just wanted to say I found your channel through this video because I was considering buying the Beard Hedger. I ended up buying the Beardscape V2 and it's a huge upgrade from my Philips trimmer I got at Walmart, having solid guards with no flex made my beard way more even post trim than I've ever had it.
Literally just got this beard trimmer based off your title. I'd been growing my beard out for 1.5 years and it worked just fine. Only negative is now I don't have a beard.
I've had the Brio V1 for a few years now and still love it! Haven't yet had to replace the ceramic blade, and the battery life is still amazing. I use it every week and only have to charge it 2 times a year.
@@BeardTube If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure that I bought the v1 based off of your review of it, and with your coupon code, so I got it for something like $65. so thanks!
Thanks for your honest review. My manscaped ball trimmer is a great product, so I figured their beard trimmer would be top notch too. Glad I watched this, I went with the Brio V2 as you recommended.
Another thing i noticed about the Manscaped Lawnmower 4.0 is it only has 1 guard as far as a beard trimmer so you can only set your beard to 2 settings, one with a guard and one without but the guard isn't adjustable
Any company that spends so much on marketing & sponsorship should be a red flag All that money is going to get it in peoples faces and not into the product
My beard trimmer recently broke and I have been looking around for a new one, I'm thinking of the Philips MG9710. I was almost fooled into buying the Manscaped stuff because of how many channels are sponsored by them and then I remembered to never trust a product pushed by RUclipsrs. After a quick look online, I can see I was right.
Yo I am glad I landed on this video because I was aboout to buy the dang thing but checking out the Brio v2 I would rather get that than the Manscaped hedger. Thanks for posting this vid my man you did us good.
The Manscapped Beard Hedger is complete trash. Mine stopped working 8 months after I purchased it and their response has been to buy another one with a slight discount or to start a subscription. Thanks for the recommendation on a different option.
Good review I was contemplating buying the Manscaped trimmer but I've only heard good things about Brio Beardscape V1 and V2. The one problem is that I live in Belgium (Europe) and I can't find it anywhere on european sites, and I really hate to pay import taxes as they are crazy expensive sometimes.
Great video, was looking to get the Brio V2 but after seeing this video, I wonder if it trims well at 0, 1 and 2, my beard is quite shortest as it gets. Any suggestions on best device for short to skin beards ? Cheers!
Every time I hear anything about trimming hair in the shower, I just laugh lol. Like just trim ya beard, head hair, or body hair and then jump in the shower lol. That marketing is such a strange concept to me. Great video bro 👊🏽🍻💯
Honestly I thought looking at your previous video you were just a manscape hater but you made very great points on it 👏 great video I will not be buying it.
I've heard great things about Brio, but I have a hard time leaving an OG company like Andis. With that being said, I wouldn't give the ball trimmer guys (Manscaped) a shot to trim my beard. Thanks for the video though 👊🏾.
I got the Manscaped Beard Hedger for christmas and it is absolutely amazing, enjoy it every time I use it - cannot share your opinon on this. Although the Brio looks to be a good one as well :)
I thought it was the way I was using it !!!! But basically, it only works if you want to keep stubble on your face. Does not cut well at all and leaves scraggly hairs. Takes forever to cut the head with the guard off
I'm debating with the brio v1 or v2 for trimming my sides and blending down my mustache. Do both work the same, or should I be looking into v2, what's your recommendation?
They, like every marketer on the planet, have worked out that subscriptions are the best form of eternal income. Most people do not notice or fail to remember to unsubscribe. There is a reason why just about every software company on the planet has moved from one time license purchase to subscription. Looking at the webpage, it is clearly designed to decieve. Even if they get one lot through before you realise and cancel, they are in front. Regardless of the quality of the product, I would not purchase for this duplicitous selling practice alone, but that's just me.
I'm glad I decided to do some searching about Manscaped as your video popped up as the 2nd vid recommendation. I am a woman so I have 0 clue about trimmer, shavers, etc. After looking through everything I think I will go & buy my partner the Brio V2 as it seems to have everything he's looking for as an anniversary gift. He's been wanting a new one but hasn't fully committed to buying Manscaped or not. I'll see about updating after it comes in & I gift it to him! 😊😊
Honestly the ball trimmer is a great stand alone beads trimmer in my opinion. When my beard is short the guards work fine. If my beard is long like it is now, I have to use it free hand, which I get isn’t a skill for every one
I love this guy's beard info helps alot but I do have a problem with your constant bashing of manscape it seems very personal everytime they drop a product you explain why people shouldn't buy it and your main reason is because of price are there cheaper options yes that's with everything there is always something cheaper that's comparable even with beardscape I have both products manscape and beardscape I like both of them they both get the job done that's why I buy them and I like both companies it's that simple I could see if you was giving people cheap alternatives but you trying to convince people of they buying it is a waste of money when it's not
I'm blind and need to know if a trimmer will cut my face off or not will the brio cut my face off if yes then what other brand could you recommend me to not cut my face off thank you
I got the ball trimmer thing when I got a shopping voucher for my birthday. I used it on my balls a couple times but I was real careful and to be honest - I didn’t do a good job because I was worried about what it was gonna do to me. It doesn’t feel good at all. I used it on my armpits - on my right arm I cut myself badly. I don’t rate it at all - and believe me I’m careful. Believe it or not - I have a small white Philips bikini trimmer that I’ve used deadset for more than 10 years - and have grazed myself with it like 3 times. I use it on my balls groin armpits hands and feet. It’s miles better than the manscaped ball thing
what are the major improvements that you feel like manscaped should make to this beard trimmer in order to make it feel more worth the purchase and would feel closer to a good trimmer? Do you think if they pooled more money into it, could you see it having the potential to be a good or even great product?
I think the main things I would change would be a better ceramic blade, fix the adjustable guard so that it doesn't wiggle up and down, and better battery life at the very least to warrant that kind of price tag
@@MrScArEy88 With the defects pointed out, and especially the movement of the guard, it should be a no go at any price. Reducing the price doesn't make a bad product any better. But, you pays yer money, you takes yer chances. For the $30 difference amortised over 5 years (it will probably last longer) for the Brio V2 that's 11c a week for a vastly superior product, makes you think.
I also used my Beard Hedger once, and now it won't even charge correctly and it doesn't even turn on anymore no matter how long I leave it charging it just works for half a second then says that the battery died. Huh? I left it charging for days since I don't shave every day, how can the battery be dead? Why is it still dead after I unplugged it and plugged it back in and waited for an hour? This shaver is a scam IMHO.
Can you review some Duke Cannon products? They’re based out of Minnesota, and their “Best Damn Beard Balm” is the best I’ve found that I haven’t had to get off the internet.
Love that you just happen to recommend Brio in all your videos 🙃 The first 5 minutes you spent critiquing their subscription service, which is completely irrelevant to the product. The integrated guard and type-c charging is what sold the manscapped for me, as I always seem to lose propriety chargers and individual guards (though they likely preform better). I’m not cutting hair professionally, so convince is more important to me (and I’d argue most consumers). I do hate the manscapped/frat bro marketing they use. It’s dumb and juvenile and one step above axe body spray.
Still rocking my brio, almost 8 years later and i have only recently realized i could replace the head lol. While the new one does cut much better, the old one didn't give me any issues. I got the manscaped kit with the nose/ear hair trimmer and was so disappointed i reached out to them to return for a refund. I will say they did awesome and gave me a full refund and let me keep the kit but the only thing ill be using is the nose/ear hair trimmer. The trimmer is absolutely horrible. especially in comparison to the brio beardscape. I should have known better than to listen to the hype!
The brio is way better I would only use manscape for your balls i think they are way stronger there but if your going towards beards I would say the brio the brios is such a nice beard trimmer
Competing products claim "self sharpening" and "sharp for life" meanwhile, Manscaped push a new blade every 3 months. SMH, they just admit to selling poor quality.
The advertisement I saw was enough to steer me away from it, I guess he's a famous golfer or something, but anyone with a big beard shouldn't be shaving the neck area like that... lol
Yeah water proofing might be a decent perk, but not a game changer...But yeah, the last thing you wanna do is trim a wet beard, its like trying to mow the fuckin lawn RIGHT after it just rained, with the beard gauges on, you're basically just going to be slapping your hair if that.
It looks like every shitty trimmer that's been around for years. I used to run through these types of trimmers once a year when my beard was stubble short. I would go with a Brio, Live Bearded MT1, or a Wahl Magic Clip everyday.

Hi Scuba. Great job comparing these. I like the Brio. I hope you have a great weekend and thank you for making us all the content you make us
Good to see you mark! Thanks man!
Just bought the Brio V2, was seriously considering the manscaped until your video. Thank you very much for the info 👏
Still happy with it?
I’ve had cheap crappy trimmers. Got the brio V1 years ago and I still love it. Hands down the best.
Nope
I demand a Manscape vs BeardTube rap battle! The amount of bars about balls… pure gold
Dear gosh. I don't want any smoke
When Dan needs to be told “Keep it G rated!”. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey is the brio good for making your skin face hair smooth with no hair in balls 😂
Glad I found your video, almost bought the Manscape Beard Hedger..after watching this I instantly ordered the Brio Beardscape v2!!
I was about to buy the Manscaped, perfect timing, I got the Brio V1 using your link, thanks bro!
I just bought one and its delivered this morning. Its on recharge right now. Looking forward to using it.
I thought having a waterproof trimmer would be nice to make it easier to clean.
I’ve been waiting for this review since the moment they announced this trimmer
Thanks for this review. The only reason I was considering this one was because I assumed it would have a ceramic blade like the ball trimmer
Just ordered the brio v2. I completely agree with your points about the manscaped. 👍🏼
Brio is a much better trimmer in my opinion
I came here cause Ive been pretty unhappy with my manscape. I just got the Brio with your link thanks! For me it seems to cut uneven at lower guards
Thanks for your honest review. My manscaped ball trimmer is a great product, so I figured their beard trimmer would be top notch too. Glad I watched this, I went with the Brio V2 as you recommended.
Bought my Brio Beardscape V1 4 years ago from Amazon and only paid £58.50 and it’s still going strong
Another thing i noticed about the Manscaped Lawnmower 4.0 is it only has 1 guard as far as a beard trimmer so you can only set your beard to 2 settings, one with a guard and one without but the guard isn't adjustable
Any company that spends so much on marketing & sponsorship should be a red flag
All that money is going to get it in peoples faces and not into the product
Brio combined with adjustable lenght would be dope then. I actually like the adjustable lengh feature and it comes in handy instead of switching.
My beard trimmer recently broke and I have been looking around for a new one, I'm thinking of the Philips MG9710. I was almost fooled into buying the Manscaped stuff because of how many channels are sponsored by them and then I remembered to never trust a product pushed by RUclipsrs.

Just got the beard hedger as a birthday gift, now I’m contemplating opening it
Yo I am glad I landed on this video because I was aboout to buy the dang thing but checking out the Brio v2 I would rather get that than the Manscaped hedger. Thanks for posting this vid my man you did us good.
Glad I watched your video before making a purchase. I've been using a wahl system for years but it isn't designed for beards.
At This Point Scuba the “Ops”. 😂😂 against Manscape. I’m be honest I want to eventually try manscape we will see.

I just use regular clippers. It's cheaper & the same exact thing as these so called beard trimmers.
Great feedback back bro. Pretty sure covered everything flawlessly = helped me decide which trimmer to go with ty Sir have a great week 👍
Thank you 🙏 Was waiting for an honest review on this product. Not wasting my money on this manscaped scam then

please do a revieuw about the beard products from Manscaped!
Do a tutorial on how to remove, clean and assemble BRIO beardscape both v1 and v2 please Scuba 🙏
There's a few vids that show what you're looking for.
I’ve been waiting for this review to come out
I've been waiting for you
I got the Manscaped Beard Hedger for christmas and it is absolutely amazing, enjoy it every time I use it - cannot share your opinon on this. Although the Brio looks to be a good one as well :)
Are you still using the Panasonic trimmer? What is your long-term assessment? How long does it take to fully charge it?
What’s the best beard trimmer for styling/edging?
Great video. I was contemplating buying the beard hedger i was happy with the lawn mower 4.0. How does the brio perform for the body grooming?
I thought it was the way I was using it !!!! But basically, it only works if you want to keep stubble on your face. Does not cut well at all and leaves scraggly hairs. Takes forever to cut the head with the guard off
I'm debating with the brio v1 or v2 for trimming my sides and blending down my mustache. Do both work the same, or should I be looking into v2, what's your recommendation?
Got the brio guards are very large making it difficult to trim shorter beards. Additionally the large guards make it difficult to trim the mustache. 😢
Can you tell which is better to buy. Philips norelco 9000 or Manscaped for short beard 2.5mm-3mm
It’s extremely easy to unsubscribe. They text you anytime they are about to send you anything and all you have to do is send a text back saying “stop”
Awesome. Some people don't pay attention to that though, and end up getting charged over and over
Yes they do need to clearly note that when sending the text. Your not wrong. I stumbled across that by accident

If only the Brio came with a USB Type C charger for convenience I'll be sold
Have you tried the live bearded trimmer? It seems to be very similar to the brio.
Which one the best and chargeable? Thanks
Saved me from getting pissed off, thanks man!
Philips multigroom 7000 or brio v2 ?? Which has more rpm .. more powerfull
Excellent comparison review! Love my Brio Beardscape V2 and Axis Beard Trimmers! 👍👊🏆
Honestly the ball trimmer is a great stand alone beads trimmer in my opinion. When my beard is short the guards work fine. If my beard is long like it is now, I have to use it free hand, which I get isn’t a skill for every one
Is the ball trimmer safe?? I’m scared it might snip like other trimmers I’ve had shit is painful

Used the manscapped once and it totally messed up my beard length returning for the brio
I'm blind and need to know if a trimmer will cut my face off or not will the brio cut my face off if yes then what other brand could you recommend me to not cut my face off thank you
I use a Hatteker trimmer, which has everything the Brio has for half the price. Works great.
It doesn't have a ceramic blade tho.
@@carlost856 yes it does
So what is the real difference between to v1 and the v2? is it something that actually justifies the v2's 110 dollar price tag?
What is your opinion on the Philips OneBlade?
I just bought this and it won’t turn on , I put it to charge and the led light didn’t turn on
can you rate the meridian trimmer next?

Will the beardscape will it get close to a clean shave/ what’s the lowest length
Use a straight razor! You knick? Styptic Pencil and a good aftershave

I have a man scape and it can’t cut threw my beard without pulling hairs
Can you review some Duke Cannon products? They’re based out of Minnesota, and their “Best Damn Beard Balm” is the best I’ve found that I haven’t had to get off the internet.
I would try Bahawat or Shea moisture. They're in stores & are way better
Yeah I had no idea about the peak hygiene plan either. got charged and cancelled and they sent the money back and i got the stuff for free.
Do take money from any companies?
Love that you just happen to recommend Brio in all your videos 🙃 The first 5 minutes you spent critiquing their subscription service, which is completely irrelevant to the product. The integrated guard and type-c charging is what sold the manscapped for me, as I always seem to lose propriety chargers and individual guards (though they likely preform better).

I do hate the manscapped/frat bro marketing they use. It’s dumb and juvenile and one step above axe body spray.

Waterproofing is for rinsing...doesn't rust

Was gonna try it out given the claim of one trimmer attachment or whatever.
Attachment feels flimsy. In the video I show how it flexes and is basically going to change the guard length without you adjusting it
@@BeardTube yeah saw that. Seems like it was a good idea but poorly executed.
Honestly I could ignore it all if it had more length options than just 10 mm. That’s barely more than a stubble.
