Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 (MG7910/49) vs Braun Beard Trimmer Series 7 BT7440

The Philips Norelco Multigroom 7000 wins on sheer value and range, handling a beard well while also covering hair, body, nose and ears in one kit. If you care mostly about exact beard lengths and clean fades, the Braun BT7440's precision dial makes it the better beard specialist.
