Philips Beard Trimmer 7000 Series (BT7670/15) with BeardSense, self-sharpening metal blades and 40 length settings
Product description
What this Philips beard trimmer is for
If you’re the sort of person who wants a consistent beard length without playing “guess and repeat” every time, the Philips Beard Trimmer 7000 Series (BT7670/15) is built around that idea. On paper it pairs self-sharpening metal blades with a Precision Dial (40 lock-in settings) and BeardSense technology that boosts power when the beard is denser.
There’s also a Lift&,Trim system intended to lift and guide hair towards the blade, plus a hair collector designed to catch a large portion of trimmed hairs. Put simply: it’s meant to make daily shaping and tidying feel less messy and more accurate.
The essentials: precision you can dial in
The headline feature you’ll notice straight away is the Precision Dial with 40 length settings. You spin the zoom wheel to choose from those settings in 0.2 mm steps, so you can craft your beard to a specific length rather than settling for “about right”.
There’s also an included click-on detail trimmer for extra definition, which should help when you want to clean up sharper lines around moustache, cheeks or the edges of a style. The full-metal T-blade (wide trimmer) is there for contour and edging work, which makes it easier to maintain the shape you actually wear, not just shorten everything.
Where it can feel more limiting is if you’re mainly after very rough, fast beard buzzcuts. With lots of fine steps available, it’s more about control than going from long to very short in one sweeping move.
What stands out in day-to-day use
BeardSense technology is the kind of feature you tend to appreciate once you’ve had trimming sessions where thicker or longer patches slow a trimmer down. According to the product description, the beard scans density 125 times per second and boosts power exactly when it’s needed.
For the shaving feel, the included Lift&,Trim comb system is also part of the story. A comb that lifts and guides hair towards the blade generally helps with an even result, especially if your beard grows in different directions.
The hair collector: less mess, but not miracle levels
The innovative hair collector is designed to efficiently catch up to 80% of trimmed hairs. That’s genuinely helpful for avoiding stray stubble on the sink or bathroom floor. That said, “up to” is the operative phrase—expect some clean-up still, particularly around edges and detail work.
Blade design and cleaning: no oil required (and easier maintenance)
The self-sharpening metal blades are positioned as staying as sharp as day 1, and the description also says no blade oil is required. It’s an appealing angle if you don’t want another step in your routine.
It’s also described as non-corrosive blades, with a hair collector that’s meant to make cleaning easier. Add the fact it’s 100% waterproof, and that points to straightforward rinsing after use.
One caution: waterproof is great for rinsing, but you’ll still want to dry it properly before storing—especially around the detail trimmer and comb attachments—so nothing stays trapped.
Tech specs you’ll actually use when choosing
This model focuses on controllability and comfort during normal grooming.
- 40 lock-in length settings with 0.2 mm steps via a Precision Dial
- Self-sharpening metal blades (no blade oil required)
- BeardSense technology scanning beard density 125x per second and boosting power as needed
- Lift&,Trim system for even, guided trimming
- Hair collector intended to catch up to 80% of trimmed hairs
- 100% waterproof design for easy rinsing
In terms of performance, it’s positioned as a beard groomer for handling dense, bushy or longer beards more confidently than basic trimmers that can feel underpowered in those areas.
What’s in the box, and how it shapes your routine
The set includes the Philips Beard Trimmer 7000 Series plus multiple attachments: a short comb (0.4-10 mm), a long comb (10.4-20 mm), and a wide trimmer for edging/contouring, along with the click-on detail trimmer.
There’s also the hair collector and additional items listed as part of the pack (as per the “what’s in the box” section). The practical upside of this is that you can do a full trim with combs, then switch to the detail trimmer to sharpen lines—without needing a separate tool.
Example use: say you’ve let your beard grow out to a consistent mid-length. You’d set one of the comb lengths for the bulk, then use the wide/full-metal T-blade area to refine cheek contours. Finally, you’d switch to the detail trimmer for the moustache area and the edges so it looks intentionally shaped rather than just shortened.
Who it suits—and who might want to look elsewhere
It’s a solid match if you:
- Care about matching a specific beard length (the 0.2 mm steps and 40 settings are made for that)
- Often trim denser or longer patches and want less stalling
- Want a trimmer you can rinse easily thanks to being fully waterproof
- Prefer a kit with comb options for short and longer lengths, plus a detail trimmer
It may not be the best fit if you’re after a purely “quick buzz” tool, or if you mainly use your trimmer sporadically and don’t need the extra control. It’s also fair to say it’s more of a beard grooming specialist than a multi-use all-rounder, because the included focus is on beard shaping and edging.
Final verdict
Worth considering if you want precise, repeatable beard lengths with a trimmer that’s designed to cope with thicker growth and keep the mess down with a hair collector. If you tend to struggle to get an even result across different beard areas, BeardSense and the Lift&,Trim setup are the main reasons this model stands out.
You may want to skip it if your routine is very simple and you don’t value fine length control—because in that case, you’ll be paying for features you probably won’t use.
