This would be me if I shaved it!

But I usually just go as low as a 2, but might give it a go as I do need a cut now.   Vlad Shrug

Just trimmed my beard for the first time since lockdown after a few comments about my appearance. 

The amount of grey in my beard :Dismay

Any advice on trimming a nice beard. I'm two months in and I'm not at the stage where I want to perfect the very cool, sexy beard.

I use oils and creams and beard shampoo so that's all good, more interested in what number to shave it down to, depending on which part of the beard and how to get it looking styled but but not too sharp. Between a little rugged and well kept.

Pleasantly surprised at my ability to grow a full beard. Quite Good

Hair has gone through a grim, grim stage for about 6 weeks there, to now being long enough that it looks alright again. Has grown out from a crop with a really tight fade Laugh Think it was last cut in february.

Had a tache there for a month as well. As you can imagine, the wife hated it. Warnock Easy enough to get one back so might just grow a shaggy beard then shave the rest off again.

The state my beard was in after a month and a half without a trim was shameful :Laugh had to cut it back. 

My hair will continue to be left though, must be about 3 months since I’ve had it cut. Be like Paulie from the Sopranos with the grey wings by the time quarantine is done because the longer my hairs getting the more noticeable the greys becoming :Eek

Still going for the fortnightly maintenance to the hair, shaving I just do it when the whiskers are becoming a bit jaggy.

Tidy it up really. Usually a three on the clippers and shape it up. Much prefer it to me doing it myself.

Different gravy on the occasions I get to a Turkish barber btw. Just a shame there’s not a decent one near me. Laugh

If you want a beard and not stubble then use a pair of scissors, not a clipper. Just let it grow for now and make sure you're not taking the neck line too far above your Adams apple. Nothing worse than a chinstrap. Cool beards are all about the shape. Nice flat bottom.

Great advice. Adam’s apple is no problem have a good balance between neckbiears virgin and chinstrap laddie.

Should it be more trimmed at the sides and then get thicker lower down? Also, underneath the chin, how trimmed should it be?

Yeah you want to taper up to your sideburns, which you can buzz flat. Unless you want the grizzly look, which you don't. Under the chin depends on how long you go, longer it is the flatter/more parallel to the ground you go.

Cool beard I saw on Netflix recently. Go for this.
