Your beard neckline is an important part of your look. If it’s covered in stubble or patchy hair growth, or if it’s the only place you have greys, it can draw attention away from the rest of your face and make you look more unkempt than you would like.
If you want your facial hair to look well-groomed, there should be a distinct line between your beard and your neck, and regular trimming or shaving is key.
Beard shaping is important. It doesn’t matter how bushy you want to grow your beard or how much time you’re happy leaving in between shaves, but you should try to get into the habit of trimming your beard neckline regularly.
Read on for advice on how to identify your beard neckline, how to shave it, and which King C. Gillette tools will give you the smartest finish.
How to Define Your Beard Neckline
Before you can trim or shape your beard neckline, you need to know how to find it. You can do this by running your fingers from your Adam’s apple up to the bottom of your ears – look in the mirror while you’re doing this so you can start to become familiar with where you need to shave.
Everywhere that falls below your beard neckline should be clean-shaven if you want to look smart, professional and well-groomed.
Choosing Shaving Products for Your Beard Neckline
Your neck can be affected by razor bumps, shaving rash and ingrown hairs just like your face can be, so it’s important to make sure you’re using quality products when shaping your beard neckline.
The King C. Gillette Beard Trimmer is designed to bring you the utmost precision for trimming, while the King C. Gillette Neck Razor is specially designed to provide a smooth, comfortable shave over the more skin on your neck, helping you to shave and edge your beard to perfection.
Apply our King C. Gillette Transparent Shave Gel all over the area you’re shaving to hydrate your hairs so they’re less wiry and to moisturise your skin for a smoother razor glide.
