Clippers
Clippers are useful for reducing length and removing bulk. They are often used with guards to keep the beard even.
Trimmers
Trimmers are used for detail work, including cheek lines, necklines, sideburns and moustache edges.
Scissors
Scissors help with longer beards, stray hairs and controlled shaping. They are useful when a barber wants to keep length but improve balance.
Combs
Combs guide the hair, control tension and help the barber see the beard shape clearly.
Razor
A razor may be used to sharpen edges where suitable. It should not be used on irritated or broken skin.
Foil shaver
A foil shaver may be used to clean short stubble around beard edges, depending on the finish required.
Products
Beard oil, balm or styling products may be used to finish the service and explain aftercare.
Good practice
Tools should be clean, disinfected and appropriate for the client's skin and beard condition.
