How to trim your beard

1. Clean your face and prepare it

1. Thoroughly clean your beard: Before shaving, it is important to keep your beard dry and clean. Your beard often becomes as oily as your hair, so you should thoroughly clean your beard to ensure it is clean. You can wash your beard in the washbasin with shampoo or in the shower, and then dry it with a towel. Do not let the shampoo dry your skin.

2. Comb your beard: Comb out those tangled beards to make it easier to trim. Follow the direction of the beard's growth and comb it along the side of your jawline, moving from the ear to the chin. Do not comb your beard in the opposite direction, otherwise it will make the beard fluffy. Comb your beard straight, and then you can use your hands to fluff it up.

3. Trim your beard in front of a large mirror: Make sure you have everything you need ready: scissors or pliers, combs, towels or other things you need. If you want to use electric clippers, you also need a socket. A multi-angle mirror or a three-sided mirror can help you see the blind spots of your beard.

4. Prepare a container for trimmed beards: The beards in the sink can easily clog, which will definitely annoy your roommates. Similarly, cleaning the beards in the sink is a troublesome thing, so you must prepare in advance. Use a small trash can to place the trimmed beards. Let the beards fall on newspapers or towels. If you carry a small portable mirror and trim your beard outdoors, the trimmed beards will be blown away by the wind.

1. Use an electric shaver to trim your beard

1. Choose a razor with a protective cover: Most razors come with a removable protective cover, which can ensure that you trim your beard to the length you need, because no one wants to have their beard too short. If you don't use a protective cover, then you can try the longer style first, because if you are not satisfied with it, you can always trim it shorter. If you cut your beard too short, you can only wait for it to grow longer. For some detailed information about the use of the razor, please refer to the instruction manual. If you want to shave all the beard, shave without the protective cover.

2. Turn on the razor, push the blade gently and steadily, trim the beard on both sides of the cheeks, and slide gently along the lines of the face. When trimming, slide gently from the ears downwards, and pay attention to keep the trimming on both sides of the cheeks consistent. The protective cover can prevent the blade from scratching the skin or cutting too much beard at once.

3. Trim the mustache and chin: When cleaning this area, start from under the nose to the corners of the mouth, then to the chin, paying special attention to the dead corners under the nose. When shaving, close your mouth to prevent the fallen beard from entering your mouth. You can use scissors to trim the mustache separately, of course, this depends on the length of your beard.

4. Use a clean blade to make the final trim: clean off any remaining facial hair along the collar line, using the chin as a reference line. If you like, you can also lather your face first and then shave, but it depends on personal preference. Some people like to shave their beards cleanly, while others like to leave some stubble near their necks.
