Scissors?
« on: May 14, 2009, 11:34:14 AM »
Anyone use scissors to trim facial hair, especially the mustache line at the upper lip?
Any recommendations on scissor brand and size and/or type?

I have had a beard and stash for many years and never really go to into trimming. Mostly using electric clippers and any old scissors that might be handy.

Now that I am doing the full head shave, I want to clean up and maintain the facial hair more regularly as well. Not looking for shaping and fading etc ,just good clean edges where needed and done at least a couple times a week to maintain a much more consistent look.

Thanks as always,
Eric

i use sewing scissors  the small one about 4 to 5 inch in total. they have a good point and stay sharp a long time. i have had the same pair about 5 years now and still do the trick.
