Corded products are underrated. It's a hassle to deal with the cord, but it's worth it when not needing to worry about if the battery is charged when you start, the battery running out mid-task, or plugging in the battery to charge after and remembering to unplug it later.
The issue with the cord can be greatly improved by having a nice retractible extension cord. Easy to take out, easy to put back, easy to move, easy to store.

I did the same thing maybe 7 years ago and the peanut still just works. I got tired of needing to buy replaceable blades or forgetting to charge it or the unreplaceable batteries just crapping out. I don't even keep a beard. I just use the peanut without a blade guard and it cuts close enough for me. No razor burn or pulled hairs ever.

That's actually the one I ended up getting! Thanks for the recommendation though.
Only drawback is that you change the length by replacing the guard instead of just sliding it to a different position; one day I didn't notice the guard was off and with one swipe it was too late to salvage my beard. I removed the rest and started over; luckily I keep it short anyway.
