Rank #7 in Best Beard Trimmer 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why £24.99 Beats £49.29
BaByliss Super Stubble XTP Trimmer 7898DU
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The BaByliss Super Stubble XTP is the trimmer at number 7 in this guide. It is a cordless, waterproof stubble and beard trimmer with motorised length control, aimed at men who want a short, precise stubble rather than a longer beard. At £69.99 it costs more than either of the two Philips 3000 Series trimmers in the list, which are listed at £49.29 and £24.99, and less than the £92.99 Braun Series 9.
What the listing actually claims for its money is narrower than the price suggests. The BaByliss covers 0.4mm to 5.0mm across 24 settings, in 0.2mm increments — and that arithmetic holds up: 24 settings 0.2mm apart, starting at 0.4mm, land exactly on 5.0mm. Both Philips trimmers are listed with a 0.5–10mm range, so they reach twice as long as this one. The BaByliss trades that range for a finer step between lengths. Two charge figures in the same listing also disagree: the main description promises an extra-fast 80-minute full charge, while the care guide at the bottom says to charge fully for 3 hrs before first use. Both numbers are printed in the listing, and only one of them can describe the first charge. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing of our own.
