Beard trimming and shaving

Summary

Effectiveness

The size and clean contours immediately change the presentation of the beard. They harmonize the lengths.

A trimmer and a few regular movements are enough for a short beard. The safety razor requires a little learning, but its handle can be kept and only the blades can be replaced.

To keep a beard short and neat, start by evening out the length with a comb trimmer, then trim the neck, isolated cheek hairs and the edge of the mustache. To choose the shape before you begin, see Beard and mustache.

For areas to be shaved, electric makes touch-ups easier; If you prefer a blade, we recommend a closed comb safety razor to start. Prepare the skin with lukewarm water and a shaving product, then go in the direction of the hair without pressing. If clean shaving regularly causes ingrown hairs, keep the trimmer at a short length instead.
