Babyliss T890E Beard Trimmer - Japanese Steel, 23 Lengths & 120 Min Cordless

The Babyliss T890E Beard Trimmer is defined by its blades, which are made from Japanese steel. This choice of material underpins its performance, delivering a 120-minute battery life from a two-hour charge. It offers 23 adjustable lengths, from 0.5 to 12 millimetres, covering most beard maintenance needs. The blades can be rinsed under the tap and are removable for a deeper clean.

Babyliss uses Japanese steel for its hardness, which allows for precise sharpening and creates a larger cutting surface. The goal is better grip on individual hairs and a more efficient cut. These blades are not self-sharpening, so maintenance is required. A cleaning brush is included, and occasional oiling is recommended. While the trimmer is rinseable, its IP20 rating offers no real water protection. You can rinse it, but don't submerge it or use it in the shower.

Under the hood

• 120 minutes battery life – cordless trimming for extended sessions.
• 2 hour charging time – from empty to full in two hours.
• 20 minute quick charge – for 20 minutes of extra use.
• 23 lengths – adjustable from 0.5 mm to 12 mm.
• 0.5 mm precision – fine increments for detailed work.
• Lithium-ion battery – charges via the mains socket.
• 194 grams – the weight of the trimmer itself.
• Usable while charging – you don't have to wait if the battery is flat.

At 194 grams, the T890E has a solid feel. You adjust the length with a rotary dial encircling the blade heads. It comes with a hard-shell zip case for storage or travel. The design is geared toward men and handles light, medium, and heavy beard growth. The finish is a blue colour.

This is a dry trimmer, meant for beard hair, not for wet shaving. The 120-minute runtime is more than enough for weekly upkeep. A battery indicator and a memory function—which recalls your last length setting—simplify regular use. Keep it for home use; it's not a shower device. An attachment comb is included for working through larger volumes of hair more quickly.

The manufacturer provides a three-year warranty, which, according to the specs, includes the blades.
