Question about beards...
#19009822 - 10/21/13 06:16 PM (10 years, 4 months ago) |

I am trying to grow a beard out for the first time...
Am I supposed to be shaving the small area below my lower lip? How about on my cheeks where hair growth is super thin? And then there's that tiny area on the top part of the upper lip that runs into your nose... what about that? I have just been shaving my neck up to right above my adams apple. Note that I have a 9-5 office type job so I can't be lookin' like a mountain man or any of you crazy hippies.
Anyone got any pointers?

I used to always want a sick beard, then I got a job where I cant have facial hair except a mustache. Now its a pain in the ass having to be clean shaven everyday

you need some clippers with guides or a beard trimmer man.
Otherwise certain parts of your beard grow faster and it looks weird. Also, I think shaving your neck looks a lot better than just letting it all grow out. Just follow your jawline.
I'm growing my beard out for the winter again. It's up to a 6 on the guide right now. Good luck. If you fuck up just remember that you can always start over.

I do this too and have a strong beard rocking for the winter/fall cold weather season. Clippers are a must. Personally, the plastic ones work just as much as the metal ones, I'm just spoiled. Beards are 100000000000000000000 times better than shaving every day. I shaved right where the bottom of my jaw meets the vertical portion of the neck and I work a job and were a tie everyday to work. the older women think i'm hot and try to fuck my dick off not really tho

Really depends on how your facial hair grows. If it's not too full on your cheeks then shaving all the way up to your jawline will leave you with not much of anything. I shave pretty much in between where you do and the jawline. Definitely don't want to rock a neckbeard.
Just grow it out and fuck around with it to figure out what looks good. Clippers are definitely a must though. Chances are you'll fuck it up trying to check out different looks at first. But yeah, it's just a beard dude. Don't over think it and just rock what you think looks good.

I shave under the jaw so the beard outlines my jaw. I also trim the small soul patch and it keeps like an upside down triangle.
I trim the beard once a week using an electric shaver set to length 5. Mustache is trimmed at a 4. Cheeks are kept in check with a razor.

Beards look different on different people. Depends how your style is.

If you work its gonna be harder to grow it out, they generally look like shit for the first few weeks. Also, clippers are a must unless you want to look like a degenerate wook straight off the lot.

What's wrong with that and why does degenerate coincide with lot to u?

I'm sure there are plenty. Just like there are forums for people who want to or do use straight razors.
