How to Make Shapes When Shaving Your Beard

There are many different types of shapes that can be shaven into one's beard.

There are many options to consider when shaving shapes into your beard. It is important to first consider what type of shape is desired. Sideburns can be long, short, skinny or wide. A man can also choose to have a soul patch, goatee, mustache, or a beard. While shaving shapes into your beard, it is important to use the correct tools. Electronic trimmers are easy to use and will make it easy to create shapes in your beard.

Things You'll Need

• Electric trimmer
• Mirror
• Towel

Instructions

1. Choose a design. Facial hair can take on many different shapes and lengths. Consider browsing through a facial hair style magazine or website to choose a design. Sculpting sideburns are easy and may be the best choice for your first attempt.

2. Turn on the electric trimmer and apply the shave head to your face. Use slow, short motions to cut off unwanted hair. Do not press the shave head into the skin because this can cause irritation and cut your face. Using a mirror makes it easier to neatly shave.

3. Wipe your face occasionally with a towel so that cut hair will be removed. This is especially important if you are shaving shapes into a dense beard. Continue shaving the beard until the desired shape is achieved.
