A barber in your smartphone

We tested the new app developed by Dutch appliance giant Phillips for you. Called "Grooming Shave & Style," it's the first of its kind and a departure from cheap apps for applying a fake beard to your photos. From beard styling tips to tracking your own beard growth with personalized advice, let's take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of this new tool for our bearded friends.

Hairy beard styles

We lied a little in the introduction, it is indeed possible to apply a fake beard to one of your photos. But it's not about sharing it on social networks to be a clown. Realistic as possible, it rather allows you to give you a real idea of ​​what you will look like with a particular style of beard/mustache. This gives a fairly reliable idea of ​​which beard style is best suited to each person's face shape. The application offers no less than 22 shaving styles including the horseshoe mustache, the stiletto beard or even the more classic 3-day beard. For each of these styles, video tutorials are available to properly achieve the style in question. The application also offers a shaving guide made up of video tutorials. Dry shaving, how to shave properly without irritating your skin, everything is there to advise you as best as possible.

A barber at a lower cost

The only weak point of the application (if you can call it that) is the presence of advertisements for the brand's products. Rest assured, although the sales aspect is present, given that the application is free and developed by Phillips, it remains very serious, unique in its field, and the advice given is of good quality. These tips applied with a razor from our Atome or MicWac range will make you a true gentleman with an impeccable beard!
