oops! Add this to the above comment. Once the belt is in place, [I hold the two ends together firmly in front of my face with my left hand]. Only the 'to be nipped off hair is showing below the edge of the belt now. My right hand takes the trimmer to the lower edge of the belt, and swoops down to nip off the hair neatly. All along the hair line at the back. Double check with a mirror. Or rather two! All the best! -

I use an old leather belt, to use as a guide line, and use an electric trimmer. Works fine for me. Since my trimmer is a self sharpening one, no problem so far.:)

I have to shave the back of my neck every few days because my hair grows fast. So I don't have time to mess around with getting it exactly to the line every time. I just put one hand over the hairline and shave up to my hand. It isn't completely accurate but if you do it often you tend to even out the unevenness.
