How to Angle Your Beard

A razor blade shaves very close to the skin's surface.

For men, having a beard is a fashion statement — the way a man wears his beard says a lot about his personality and individual sense of style. For example, a man who lets his beard grow wild exudes a carefree, laid back personality whereas someone with a sharp, angled beard seems more business-like and authoritative. Although electric razors are easier to use, they do not provide the close, controlled shave of a razor blade. If you have a beard you want to angle, use a combination of both types of razors to transform your look. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Plug in your electric razor and use it to trim the beard. If you have a thick beard, it is difficult to shave it using only a razor blade because the hair clogs the razor. Use the electric razor to trim the beard to the desired length.

      Inspect the edge of your razor blade to make sure it is sharp and clean. A sharp blade gives you the close and precise shave required to create an angled look.

    • 3

      Apply shaving gel to the surface of your face to reduce the friction caused by shaving. Once you’ve applied the gel, envision how you want to angle your beard.

    • 4

      Use your razor to trace the angle of your beard, shaving away unwanted hair to create a clean, angled line. When the razor becomes clogged with shaving gel, rinse it off using hot tap water.

      Shave the beard until the desired angle is obtained. When you are done, wash off the remaining gel and make sure your beard looks the way you want it.
