If you don't have a beard trimmer, go buy one at the nearest drugstore, or if you want a more lavish one, go to a department store for a longer lasting trimmer. In the meantime, follow these steps for well-groomed facial hair.
Decide how you want your beard to look when you're finished trimming.
2
Shave as you regularly do, including the exposed parts of cheeks and neck. Wash off the shaving cream.
3
Wet your beard slightly.
4
Use either scissors or a beard trimmer to groom your beard.
5
Clip conservatively around the beard's upper edges.
6
Snip around cheeks and along the jawline. Clip very little, reducing the beard's volume slowly to the desired length.
7
Clip stray hairs until the beard is even.
8
Wash away clippings.
9
Trim your mustache, if applicable.
Tips & Warnings
Beard trimmers are easier to use than scissors, as you can adjust trimmer settings to cut hair at various lengths. Set your beard trimmer to a longer hair length if you're new to using one - you don't want to cut too much at first.
Wet hair is longer than dry hair, so trim a little at a time.
Wet facial hair can jam a trimmer, so make sure it's not soaked when you start.
