You can solve one of life's pesky little problems with a few quick strokes of a razor.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Mirrors
  • Electric Razors And New Blade
  • Shaving Creams
  1. Step 1

    Loosen your collar or remove your shirt.

  2. Step 2

    If you're using an electric trimmer, set it on its closest setting and turn it on. If you're using a razor, apply a small amount of shaving cream to the back of your neck.

  3. Step 3

    Begin trimming, using two mirrors if possible. Working in vertical lines, run the trimmer up the back of your neck from the base to the hairline. If you're using a razor, shave down in short strokes from the hairline to the base of the neck.

  4. Step 4

    Even out the hairline as necessary.

  5. Step 5

    Wipe off the shaving cream or brush off the clippings.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember to shave all the way around to the area of the neck behind the ears.
  • Consider enlisting a friend to help you.

on 5/14/2008 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!
