Currently I am growing a beard and am not yet sure I will keep all of it. I know there are guys on here that have goatees or moustaches... what do you guys use for trimming? Electric? If so please post, if not enlighten me!
Thanks

When I wore a beard I used a DE to trim the edges. Merkur makes a mustache razor by the way. It has a very small head and uses special blades. The model has been around for decades from what I can tell so it's a classic.
I use my electric head clippers without a guard. Works great for me. I picked it up at CVS.
I also use an electric trimmer minus the guard. I extend the head as far as I can when trimming weekly.
I saw those on the Merkur site, and wondered how well they worked. I currently have a handlebar and soul patch. So I would be very interested on any feedback on those trimmers. Anybody have or used one?

Gotta try it once your life!
I use an adjustable Norelco with the vacuum (cuts down on my g/f yelling at me....I mean cuts downs on hair scattered throughout the bathroom) Had it about 3 years and no problems, use it 2-3 times a week and still going strong.
I have bought several trimmers over the years and nowadays just use scissors and a comb to keep the length right on the goatee and the sideburns.
A straight is good for trimming around the beard as well as a DE. I have used both and can make a really clean line with the straight!

I have a close trimmed goatee during the spring, summer, and early fall. Late fall I let my beard come in for hunting season. Just brought a new Wahl electric trimmer three (3) weeks ago. Its the small one for mustaches and beards. Last one lasted me about fourteen (14) years so I through I would stay with the same brand. Even when I grow my bread in I keep my neck and checks shaved so it maintains a nice crisp look.
I really enjoy my beard in the winter and enjoy shaving it off when the warm weather begins. Have fun letting it grow in, I would suggest about three weeks of growth then slowly begin trimming it into the shape you or SHMBO likes.
Have fun, Dan

I use a Remington Titanium MB200. Nothing fancy but it does a good job keeping the goatee trimmed in the fall/winter and during Red Wing playoff hockey.

Never had a beard myself
I can't recall the brand, but yes, I have an electric trimmer with an adjustable guide, so that you can trim just a little, or really power through the undergrowth. It's also good for trimming the bottom edge of the beard along the throat, stuff that the DE shave sometimes misses.
I use a Norelco Oneblade. It works well for beard trimming.
About a dozen years ago I didn't have a beard but my wife and I had two dogs (West Highland White Terriers) and the breeder gave me some lessons in how to groom them and I ended up buying all sorts of scissors, trimmers, combs and brushes.
Now we have no dogs but I do have a short beard and I discovered that my Andis Ultra Edge pet trimmer with a number 7FC blade does a great job on it! I trim it short about every week or so, usually in the shower stall before turning the water on.
I still use a DE razor daily to shave my cheeks and neck and to keep nice straight lines on the beard.

I have a Braun that I enjoy. It has a couple of adjustable combs and a couple of shorter combs, along with a precision attachment and a nose trimmer. The adjustable combs are good beard length, but I got better edges and precision trimming with a DE and a pair of trimming scissors.
I just have the ring beard (mustache connected to small chin beard) and for the stache use the scissors and comb, but for the chin, I use a Panasonic beard trimmer I'd started using back in my full beard days.
