Beard growing/grooming?

Shave your neck and upper cheeks everyday.

Invest in an electric trimmer to control length.

A well groomed beard requires some work but the ladies like it.

Get a trimmer, It's all you really need. They usually come with variable sized attachments. I shave my neck every day, trim beard once or twice a week.

Beard oil is for relaxing/conditioning.

Waxes are for shaping.

Balms are in between.

I prefer balms, they last longer. I found I go through a bottle of beard oil rather quickly. Though I have a larger beard. 8.5 months worth.

Personally I trim the edges about every 1 to 2 months depending on how it looks, to get scraggly ends off to keep it neat and that's it. Then again I am growing for length right now.


Edit: it's fine to use trimmers to trim, just make sure you have a white or bright colored area behind you when you do it. Makes it easier to see what you are doing. This way there is no accidental beard gouging.

Just don't shave. Ever. It's that simple.

Pretty much. I haven't put a razor to my face in about 6 years. I just trim it up with scissors.

This. I keep it off of my neck and upper cheeks with regular shaving and I use the trimmer about twice a week.

Conditioner.

Can never seem to get a consistent trim using trimmers--too much in areas and not enough in others. I like the shadow look, and it looks good while growing in, but I invariably wind up having to shave it as it grows out more.
