Trimmer to outline facial hair?
« on: November 28, 2007, 10:51:43 AM »
Since I shaved my head down, I have been trying different looks with facial hair, soul patch, goatie, what I call a 12 o'clock shadow (which is between 5 o'clock shadow and a beard).  I tried doing a chin strap sort of look but struggled to keep it straight and even with a razor.

What kind of trimmer would people suggest to get an outline or look like this?



thanks!

Vin, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!  I've always wondered how guys do that myself.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

hey thanks warhawk!  I see the trick there, applying the shaving cream then outlining with your finer etc.  Interesting...I suppose it takes some practice etc.

thanks for the welcome guys!

When i use to rock my chin straps and now my goatee I would put a ruler to where i want to cut and draw a line w/ my wifeys eyebrow pencil.  Takes a little bit of time at first but in the long run your line up will be nice.  Been doing this method for years and it always comes out good.
