Short Beard Trimming

1. Outline the desired shape of your beard by clean shaving your cheeks and neck leaving only the hair in the intended mustache and beard area.

3. Reduce the trimmer length setting to about 3 mm or less to fade your beard off.

4. Comb the beard and hair around your mouth downward and trim any uneven hairs.

You are done sculpting and fading. Easy! To maintain this look and keep crisp lines and beard definition you should shave and trim every morning.
