Should i trim my neckline

When should I start shaving my neckline when growing a beard? So I just entered week 2 of my beard and I'm reading this article you can find on google if you search "Closely bearded secrets revealed - Growing a beard stages" It says not to touch your beard until month 2 or 3. It specifies trimming but I was wondering, does this include neckline shaving as well? I'd like to look respectable and clean but I don't wanna mess up my beard in any way.

When I talk about shaving my neckline I'm talking about the article you'll find on google if you search "Designing a neck line for your full beard". What are some things I need to consider here? Do I define a neckline right away or do I wait till it fills in more? And if so, why? I mean, there are plenty of tutorials online on where to place the neckline based on the shape of your face and jaw so why wait till your beard is grown out and not define it right away?

Just curious. DannyRodriguez , Jan 4, I shave my entire face every day. But way way back in the early 's I'd grow a beard for a couple of months, I would always keep my neck clean right from the start. A wise Gent here would say Enjoy it your way".

Then shave everything underneath that line. This is best avoided if you have a big beard investment already. However, you can hide any issues with your neckline if you make your beard a lot smaller. The way to go about this is to trim your beard down to the length of about a new beard. One of the best ways to roll with your mistake is to adopt a new style altogether.

Many goatee styles, like the anchor beard or Van Dyke, decidedly avoid having such a deep neckline. To accomplish this, simply trim your beard into the new style then let it grow back. As the beard grows back, adjust the neckline to the proper length. This is a creative workaround to your simple mistake and a good way to have fun with it. After all, your beard will grow back. This is a common enough issue that human ingenuity has stepped in to make your life a lot easier.

You can also purchase a beard trimming toolset. These come in a few different varieties, but essentially they are plastic guards that create a line for you to shave alongside. Some of them are on elastic straps that you fit onto your head.

The plastic guard is shaped to cup your jaw. It covers the hair on your neck that you want to keep, then exposes the hair to shave. Other varieties are freehand tools that you hold to your neck, and then use the trimmer in your other hand.

Alternatively, you can go to a barber and have them shape your beard initially. Getting your beard shaped initially is the difficult part. When applying shaving cream to the neckline, make sure you apply only a thin amount. Do not apply shaving cream onto your beard. That obstructs your view and will make it more easily messed up. The most surefire way to maintain your neckline is to know where it falls and to keep trimming accordingly.

But be sure to keep in mind that mistakes happen. Keep learning from your mistakes and adjust as you go. Your beard will always grow back. Also, make sure to shave along the grain on your neckline. Ingrown hairs are a common issue along this area, especially amongst those with sensitive skin or with black men, whose beard hair is curlier.

A well-trimmed neckline will elevate your beard style. A bad beard neckline can make any man look like he has a double chin, which nobody wants.
