Always shaved neck line too high till I first saw your videos last year. . .now have 9 months growth trimming the correct way because of you (treat it like trimming a hedge). . .gives me more confidence and looks great. . .even i I say myself! When you get a comment from someone saying 'great beard' makes you feel great. Thanx bro.
Just found these and wish I saw it sooner! I’m 3 weeks in and messed up my neck line. Middle is good height but took the line up and angle too high. Need to made a corner about 3/4” lower. Should I start over or just let it grow and work it from there?
I don't do a neckline anymore, because my beard is very long. But when I did, a better way to trim that neckline (in my opinion and in my experience) is to give yourself a double-chin by pulling your chin into your neck. Where you see the line from the double-chin where the bottom skin of the double-chin ends, that's your line. It's more precise that way, as opposed to sort of guessing like in this video. If you have a natural double-chin, because you are fat, then you're all set.
@@benjamindavis4974 Unfortunately, you're wrong on this. The "double-chin" technique works like a charm. There's no guess work involved. You easily see the line where the double-chin ends, and that's where you put the shaving cream and shave. Easy-peasy.
@@benjamindavis4974 Hey, at the end of the day, if that's what you like, then that's really all that counts. I mean, truthfully, there's no real right way. There are no legal documents on any of this. 😀
One of the best video I had ever watched. "Just keep it simple always that's the underlying principle!" I will recommend this video to those who comes up with same problem.
Thanks a lot! Keeping it simple is the key, glad you found the video helpful. Feel free to share it with anyone facing similar beard care challenges! 😎
I've been trimming my beard like that for over 50 years now. And you're absolutely right! If you get the lines "right" in the early stages of growing, it'll make your beard grow in very nicely! And it doesn't matter what kind of "look" you're wanting, scruffy, neat, full, go tee, handlebar mustache, or whatever, get those lines right in the early stages and it'll grow in and look great!
I like to keep a short beard, basically one level above 5 o’clock shadow, which is harder to maintain. However nobody has ever taught me anything above shaving so I’m glad I finally thought to look it up on UA-cam since I grow hair wayyyy down low on my neck and it kills my jaw like
My neck hair grows upwards, under my chin and my cheeks grow normal (downwards) but when my beard starts getting length they meet and push out. It makes the neckline awkward, literally had to cut off nearly a 2 year beard because I messed up trying to fix this. My beards back to an ok length but I haven't shaped it one bit because I start to sweat when I attempt the neckline ha. I felt so naked when I had to completely shave off my beard an start all over
I’ve been using the Andis Slimline Pro T-Blade trimmers for over a year now and they are amazing for lining up your beard! They also work great for your neck hair and around ears into your sideburns/ beard as well.
Bro I trimmed my beard before watching your video and it was my first time trimming my own beard and man, I’m regretting that I cut my own beard🤦🏻♂️. But learned something new today from the experience and by watching your video. Thanks for your help
Trimming your own beard is a feat in itself but that is why we are here, you can always reach out to us at support@livebearded.com with any questions! Always got your back.
This was definitely very helpful. My beard grows very long on my neck area the most, personally I keep it for as long as I can to give my beard a fuller look.
I am the same way, brother! My neck area grows in longer and thicker than the hair on my cheeks. Glad this video helped! We are always here to support you however I can.
Hi, thank you for your video. I'm looking to buy my husband his first beard trimmer, but I'm not sure which one to choose. I feel that the Braun series whatever might not be the best option. Could you please recommend a good trimmer for a beginner and advise on how many attachments he would really need to start with? Thank you in advance!
Hey there! So we may be a tad biased, but our trimmer is definitely a contender for best on the market! Battery life is the longest available you can find anywhere, you can change the RPM's for trimming different densities of hair and it comes with 6 different attachment lengths!

With such an awesome beard, I know it had to have been hard to shave such a solid beard, that took a long time to grow. The fact that you did, to show us viewers from start to finish, is huge respect in my book! I love it!
Can you suggest a good zero gapped trimmer for neckline. I have some trimmers but they don’t give a clean look. I tried shaving my neckline but pimples popped up.
My nephew is starting a beard. I asked if he had watched any videos on UA-cam on how to do it right and he laughed saying "no instructions needed to grow a beard" I told him to just look up live bearded and he will see how to properly grow and beard and maintain it looking nice.
Personally i let my barber shape my beard every 3 weeks when I have my hair cut, I find he can shape it far better than I can , it’s like most things with experts, they make it look a lot easier than it is, I think you will find it money well spent 🇬🇧
Big thank you for this, i'm growing out my beard and everywhere i hear the same ; don't trim before the 4-week mark!" But my beard is growing very fast, cut myself clean April 8th, now, two weeks later, it's already growing thick everywhere and also below my adams apple, it's not the first time i'm growing it but i always outlined it around the 1.5-2 week mark because that's how fast my beard grows, always thought i was in the wrong for lining it so fast.
Not at all bro, you just need the right tactics and the right tools! Personally, I don't trim anything until the 3-5 month mark, I prefer a very large beard before I shape anything, haha
Absolutely! We have a bunch of blog posts on how to trim your mustache. livebearded.com/search?type=all&q=mustache You can always reach out to us at support@livebearded.com as well for great tips and tricks.
Hey Bro! A few things that can definitely help - for one, our best boost vitamins will definitely help increase the growth rate of your hair and help it fill in a bit quicker. The derma roller can also help activate dormant beard hairs underneath the skin and help full in patchier areas! Check out our page on beard growth products here - livebearded.com/collections/beard-growth
Say just due to shaving you accidently brought your cheekline down to low, in that case should you just let your cheekline grow back naturally, or just shave it off and start over again? I have a 2 month + beard, and I really dont wanna start over, but I also wanna look good as well.
Definitely just let it grow back! Shaving it all off will take much more time, letting the cheek line fill back in will only take about a week or 2, then you won't notice it at all!
Funny how the neckline has also been something that I've had to work on, then one day I just kind of got it. Looking forward to more of these videos as there's always room to learn and improve!
Get yourself an oldschool foil blade box razor. Wont cut hairs longer than stubble even if you wanted it to, perfect for keeping that beard line nice and crispy with minimal time once its cut in. I hate shaving with a normal razor
Great tip brother! Those old-school foil blade razors sound like a game-changer for keeping that beard line sharp with minimal effort. Thanks for sharing! 🙌
Everyone is different, if you follow my journey you'll see that it takes me about 2 to 3 months to completely grow it back out. We do have a great beard boost supplement that helps speed up growth and thickens the beard. Check it out - livebearded.com/products/beard-growth-vitamins-beard-boost?variant=18343406211&?_pos=2&_sid=5a04dd8b5&_ss=r
Personally, I'd recommend following your jawline with more of a curve so it looks a bit more natural. Once it's longer though, if you prefer more of a squared look then the horizontal trim can work too!
sometimes a little time and patience is all you need! Trimming your own beard can definitely be a little daunting, but with the right guidance it's actually quite easy!
Just went for the first time to the barber for my beard. Trimmed the neckline which I shouldn’t have done and he trimmed it a little too high but not more than about a finger and half above Adam’s apple and cheekline too low. Not happy with the trim but both things will grow back quick
Yea first time beard trims are nerve-racking for sure. The key would be to over communicate and bringing examples to show them of what you are wanting to achieve. Hopefully you have better experiences from now on. 👍 💪 💪

Great advice been wanting to grow a lighter beard - non hipster type well trimmed - thanks for this! How do you deal with close family and friends not liking it? Always find it hard when someone doesn't like it ''a person close to you'' I know it's confidence but people close who are not supportive still have an influence - especially when your trying something new or different.
Absolutely bro, we're always here to support you! So honestly, it's YOUR face! If they don't like, touch luck - it's not their choice! Rock it with pride!
Typically when you leave your neckline low it makes the beard look fuller. That is why we recommend trimming about a fingers length above the adams apple. Of course, if you rock a shorter beard that is not always doable.
I recommend using a handheld mirror in conjunction with your bathroom mirror, or if you have a medicine cabinet that swings, using that to create a visible angle to the sides of your face 🤘
I’m a traditional WetShaver and I use safety razors modern and vintage Gillettes along with traditional straight razors and Shavettes. I really like the Leaf Twig for under the nose and the CJB kamasori for the cheeks. I get crispy lineups every time
@@Jacob_Herron when you have the right tools you can shave silky soft. My shaving soap lathers up thick with my badger brush. Letting the soap soak in for 3-5 minutes really helps to soften the hairs for a non-aggravating shave
I'm growing my first beard and 3 months in but I've been shaving about 3 fingers above my Adams apple. Should I start over or start letting it grow from the Adams apple line up to where it's at now? I definitely don't want a chin strap!!
Lookin good! Lookin good! It's amazing how facial hair or there lack of changes your look. How long was your beard before you shaved it off, did you ever measure it?
A lot of guys will still draw the line to the top of the stache, even if there is a little space there. You can also trim the cheek line a little lower to where it does connect. Also, growing the beard and stache longer will usually cover up that gap!
Damn that back bottom part by the chin I definitely been shaving too far in so it's not a straight line... But I already have 2 months of growth and it grows fast. Will that be able to even out if I just let it grow or am I screwed and need to start over?
Hey bro! Yes sir, it absolutely is. Same as with head hair, the average person loses roughly 80-100 hairs per day from their head - the beard is no different. Shedding is totally normal!
Shaving with a razor is amazing especially once your face gets used to it, I’ve never had a clearer more healthier smoother skin than when I was saving every other day in the summer
Hey brother! I think we can help, but can you please send us a picture at support@livebearde.com so we can see what's up with your lines? Thanks for your support and we're happy to help!
In the area of looks/styling etc, growing a beard is one of the best decisions if not the best decision I ever made. Turning 40 now and I've never looked better (staying in shape helped, too). But just from the look in the mirror - man, what un upgrade.
I get 5 o'clock shadow at 9am, so my scruff looks disheveled in one day and some guys need to make clean lines even with a shadow to prevent from looking sloppy.
I’m 27 and this is my first time growing a beard. I’m in week 2 now. Love the tips you’ve given in the video. My friends are jealous because I get the full beard, so hopefully it comes out looking nice.
i get the cheek and side lines, but what about the neck line for a long beard? from straight on i can't even see my own neck line to trim it if i wanted to. i want it to look sharp, and i desperately want to straighten the damn thing. beards are more complicated that i expected when i jumped into this. ps: the tombstone smells phenomenal.
If your beard is growing past your neckline then don't worry about it. We only suggest keeping your neckline trimmed for people that have more of a shorter beard where you can visual see that neck line.
@@livebearded appreciate the feedback guys. was thinking of giving yall a ring but decided to watch a few videos. unfortunately most seems geared towards shorter, or medium sized beards so didn't really address a longer beard like mine.

My beard was about 3 or 4 inches long but I didn't like the way it grew and felt so last night I trimmed it very low to grow it back and man, I look like a baby now lol It's been a while since I had so little facial hair on my face
Have you checked out our blog posts on www.livebearded.com, here is a great post our boy Dusty did - livebearded.com/blogs/do-better/how-to-train-and-trim-your-mustache-from-home?_pos=3&_sid=c530d87c4&_ss=r
I bought a 60e trimmer and it is horrible. Keeps getting caught. Even left me with a patch. Received my first shavette today! Looking to get a SR in the near future! Nice vid!
Finding the right trimmer can definitely be a pain bro! Check our LB MT-1 Trimmer, it's top-notch! livebearded.com/collections/accessories/products/beard-trimmer
Well, I don't see why not, some guys like a dedicated one for their beard that stays sharp. If you want a dedicated beard trimmer, we have one here: livebearded.com/collections/accessories/products/beard-trimmer
I always seem to get my neckline wrong. It never quite looks right which usually results in me shaving it all off after several months of growth and then starting all over again. 🙄
trimming your own beard can definitely be a bit daunting! Less is more when doing trims. My father always told me growing up, you want to shape the neckline along the same line that you would slit someones throat 😂 as graphic as that may sound, it helps. You want the line to be right above the adams apple and keep an even swoop going up both sides to the ear!
One thing I look forward to the most, is mustache management.. how should I trim the mustache to get it nice and thick.. it seems like my mustache hits a brick wall and never gets to that level
Typically we would recommend either trimming those hairs back shorter or using a blow dryer after the shower to help straighten them out! When I have a longer beard, I use a blow dryer every morning to help straighten the curlier hairs!
Always shaved neck line too high till I first saw your videos last year. . .now have 9 months growth trimming the correct way because of you (treat it like trimming a hedge). . .gives me more confidence and looks great. . .even i I say myself!

Can confirm after trimming I tried to tuck in my neck and my double chin lined up nearly perfectly with it. Just a little higher up.

Do you shave just where the double chin ends or u actually shave where the double chin line is?

I need a better trimmer... i have a philips one right now but it doesnt get neat enough, i cant tidy it up perfect i need something that i can line my bear up. What trimmer do you recommend?
I would head over to livebearded.com and try our MT1-Trimmer out! It is such aa great trimmer.
Can you guys do a stash tutorial when yours starts to grow out more, as in trimming to get the shape?
We plan on having a bunch more videos as Spencer's beard grows out, but in the meantime, check out our blog which has a bunch of videos on mustache growth and grooming - livebearded.com/search?type=all&q=handlebar
Thanks for this. Very helpful
you're very welcome my man! We're always here to support you!
Great advice been wanting to grow a lighter beard - non hipster type well trimmed - thanks for this! How do you deal with close family and friends not liking it? Always find it hard when someone doesn't like it ''a person close to you'' I know it's confidence but people close who are not supportive still have an influence - especially when your trying something new or different.
Absolutely bro, we're always here to support you!
So honestly, it's YOUR face! If they don't like, touch luck - it's not their choice! Rock it with pride!
Awesome!
When I grow my beard & do the neckline I trim the neckline upwards so that it remains flush & neckline doesn't hide behind the long hair from the chin
Typically when you leave your neckline low it makes the beard look fuller. That is why we recommend trimming about a fingers length above the adams apple. Of course, if you rock a shorter beard that is not always doable.
Thanks for the guide
Absolutely brother, we're always here to support you!
Do you have any tips for those with beard patchy?
Check out this post we did, livebearded.com/blogs/do-better/how-to-fix-a-patchy-beard?_pos=1&_sid=626fcd704&_ss=r
I struggles making back line 😃 don't know how to identify holding the trimmer
I recommend using a handheld mirror in conjunction with your bathroom mirror, or if you have a medicine cabinet that swings, using that to create a visible angle to the sides of your face 🤘
I’m a traditional WetShaver and I use safety razors modern and vintage Gillettes along with traditional straight razors and Shavettes. I really like the Leaf Twig for under the nose and the CJB kamasori for the cheeks. I get crispy lineups every time
Thanks for sharing and good advice
you're very welcome!
Old school quality safety razor used right is awesome for shaving neck. Can't do it right with a multi blade razor.
Exactly what I was gonna comment. I use a safety razor, a good quality shaving soap, a good brush, and my shaves have improved.
@@Jacob_Herron when you have the right tools you can shave silky soft. My shaving soap lathers up thick with my badger brush. Letting the soap soak in for 3-5 minutes really helps to soften the hairs for a non-aggravating shave
@@matthewjarrod2523 yep! Been shaving this way for a almost a year now and wouldn't change it for anything!
Great suggestion, brother! I hadn't shaved my neck in so long that it was new all over again.
You could also use the Philips Norelco OneBlade. It does a really good job touching up the neck line.
I'm growing my first beard and 3 months in but I've been shaving about 3 fingers above my Adams apple. Should I start over or start letting it grow from the Adams apple line up to where it's at now? I definitely don't want a chin strap!!
Lookin good! Lookin good! It's amazing how facial hair or there lack of changes your look. How long was your beard before you shaved it off, did you ever measure it?
Im not sure if Spence ever measured it but it was definitely between 4-6 inches!
What to do with the cheek line if your moustache is not connected to the beard?
A lot of guys will still draw the line to the top of the stache, even if there is a little space there. You can also trim the cheek line a little lower to where it does connect. Also, growing the beard and stache longer will usually cover up that gap!
Great tips. Thanks man 💯
absolutely bro, we've always got your back!
A good alternative to using a razor is an electric shaver like the 5-Star, less cuts and gets really close.
so how do you look like Ben Aflek from the side?
Genetics I suppose 😂
Thank you, beard guru. 🧔♂
nice video !
liked it so much
He's back baby!! 💪
Getting there!! haha.
Damn that back bottom part by the chin I definitely been shaving too far in so it's not a straight line... But I already have 2 months of growth and it grows fast. Will that be able to even out if I just let it grow or am I screwed and need to start over?
Just let it grow out and you will be fine! No need to start over.
I have a very weak chin (which is a big reason why I want a beard) and about half an extra chin. How would I do the bottom line?
You want to keep the neckline fairly low, I typically recommend a finger with above the adams apple
Sheeesh....i can't anything close to that. Now just trying the goatee and let the bottom go down. I need a step-by-step starting wirh a baby face 🤣🥳
Hi man every morning i brush my Beard i see some beard hair falls out it's normal or not 😢😢
Hey bro! Yes sir, it absolutely is. Same as with head hair, the average person loses roughly 80-100 hairs per day from their head - the beard is no different. Shedding is totally normal!
@@livebearded no matter about it sir right 👍 thanks bro alot
Thanks bro for the advice 😉
Anytime, brother!
Shaving with a razor is amazing especially once your face gets used to it, I’ve never had a clearer more healthier smoother skin than when I was saving every other day in the summer
Great video! I have a question: I almost have no hairs below my ears, so I can't really make a good backline. Do you have any tips for me?
Hey brother! I think we can help, but can you please send us a picture at support@livebearde.com so we can see what's up with your lines? Thanks for your support and we're happy to help!
In the area of looks/styling etc, growing a beard is one of the best decisions if not the best decision I ever made. Turning 40 now and I've never looked better (staying in shape helped, too). But just from the look in the mirror - man, what un upgrade.
it really is a great way to completely transform your look!
I get 5 o'clock shadow at 9am, so my scruff looks disheveled in one day and some guys need to make clean lines even with a shadow to prevent from looking sloppy.
Have you guys ever thought about making a beard tool for your cheek lines and neckline
It's definitely a helpful tool when first starting. Appreciate the suggestion brother.
Best trimmer plz
Personally, we recommend our MT-1 Trimmer! Check it out!

I’m 27 and this is my first time growing a beard. I’m in week 2 now. Love the tips you’ve given in the video. My friends are jealous because I get the full beard, so hopefully it comes out looking nice.
that's awesome bro! Let that thing flow, best flex there is!
i'm 15 and I've gotten beard since I was 13....
do yourself a favor and get some beard oil and a kent comb or chicago comb asap if you don't already have them
@@Blinkers2007GameDevwhos your father conan the barbarian
😂
i get the cheek and side lines, but what about the neck line for a long beard? from straight on i can't even see my own neck line to trim it if i wanted to. i want it to look sharp, and i desperately want to straighten the damn thing. beards are more complicated that i expected when i jumped into this.
ps: the tombstone smells phenomenal.
If your beard is growing past your neckline then don't worry about it. We only suggest keeping your neckline trimmed for people that have more of a shorter beard where you can visual see that neck line.
@@livebearded appreciate the feedback guys. was thinking of giving yall a ring but decided to watch a few videos. unfortunately most seems geared towards shorter, or medium sized beards so didn't really address a longer beard like mine.
What are you looking to do, brother? Email us at support@livebearded.com and we can support you anyway we can. We have plenty others on our blog at livebearded.com/blogs/do-better

Absolutely, glad we could help!
I always use a one blade razor for fine lines
Boy am I glad I find yall, might have saved me lol
We are always here to support you however we can!
These dudes have perfect beards I’m so jealous 😂
My beard was about 3 or 4 inches long but I didn't like the way it grew and felt so last night I trimmed it very low to grow it back and man, I look like a baby now lol It's been a while since I had so little facial hair on my face
Hey bro, every once in a while a little restart can be a good thing! I usually do that at least once a year!
Great thumbnail!
Good video Tool Man!
Can you guys please make a handlebar mustache do's and don'ts video please?
Have you checked out our blog posts on www.livebearded.com, here is a great post our boy Dusty did - livebearded.com/blogs/do-better/how-to-train-and-trim-your-mustache-from-home?_pos=3&_sid=c530d87c4&_ss=r
Thanks again for sharing
thank you brother.
That’s dedication, appreciate you shaving that awesome beard off for us my boy
This was helpful, thanks!
Awesome brother! Thanks for watching!
I bought a 60e trimmer and it is horrible. Keeps getting caught. Even left me with a patch. Received my first shavette today! Looking to get a SR in the near future! Nice vid!
Finding the right trimmer can definitely be a pain bro! Check our LB MT-1 Trimmer, it's top-notch!
livebearded.com/collections/accessories/products/beard-trimmer
Is it ok to use the same trimmer on my beard that i use on my junk?
Well, I don't see why not, some guys like a dedicated one for their beard that stays sharp. If you want a dedicated beard trimmer, we have one here: livebearded.com/collections/accessories/products/beard-trimmer
I always seem to get my neckline wrong. It never quite looks right which usually results in me shaving it all off after several months of growth and then starting all over again. 🙄
trimming your own beard can definitely be a bit daunting! Less is more when doing trims. My father always told me growing up, you want to shape the neckline along the same line that you would slit someones throat 😂 as graphic as that may sound, it helps. You want the line to be right above the adams apple and keep an even swoop going up both sides to the ear!
One thing I look forward to the most, is mustache management.. how should I trim the mustache to get it nice and thick.. it seems like my mustache hits a brick wall and never gets to that level
nice and thick? check out your genes, you got it or you don't
It'll be fun to go through that process and share how it all comes together!
How to manage the cowlick on the cheeks
Typically we would recommend either trimming those hairs back shorter or using a blow dryer after the shower to help straighten them out! When I have a longer beard, I use a blow dryer every morning to help straighten the curlier hairs!
Thanks for the gems 💎 #beardGang
You're very welcome!
Great video!
Thank you.
You're very welcome my man!
