Beard Advice

Yet another beard thread.

I'm currently travelling and have decided to grow my beard to a decent length. I'm quarter of the way to a decent sized beard and wondered about ways to keep it in check. It's starting to look wild and i'm begining to look a bit like a hobo.

So any beardy blokes or even ladies around that could part some wisdom on keeping it looking a little more presentable rather than having people giving me money on the street because I looking like a tramp.

My girl likes me with a beard, the bigger the better, so I indulge her on occasion and let it go for a few weeks.

When it's getting too wild, I use plain old scissors to keep it in check. I take a line from my actual jawbone, and cut away from a set distance, whether there is loads of beard there or not, and try and get it 'even'. Also I tend to take more off the sides and under my chin, otherwise I end up looking like Grizzly Adams... Round my mouth I find it's best to feather it some, if you get too much of a hard line with your 'tache then it kinda looks cartoonified. So a bit of a juggling act between looking ok, and not having to eat it all the time.

Hope this helps! Wink

Try not to chew the end of your 'tache. It'll eventually get long enough to sweep it sideways.

Get one of those shavers which lets you alter the length of the hair it cuts and trim it really finely.... or alternatively:

Go for this look:
