Whilst they look very similar a beard trimmer and hair clipper are designed for very different uses and one of those key differences is the size of their blades. If you are looking for intricate detail, precision, getting close to the skin or for tackling small areas of hair such as around the ears, then a beard trimmer is for you. A hair clipper has larger blades and is used to change the length of hair. It would be very easy to make drastic mistakes to your beard using a hair clipper.
