How do you groom a beard?

[Lootifer]

My dad never taught me.


(ps I do know how to shave ofc, we're inbred sheep shaggers, but we're not that inbread!)

Buy one of those multi-headed electric raisers they make specifically for trimming beards, what do they call them?

Oh yeah, beard trimmers.

Is that the only way to do it, or is there a cheap and cheerful version?

I don't. I just let 'er grow. And it has that wild-man, growing-in-all-directions look, too. My cadets find it funny as hell. I do the neck-beard thing too. Cause I'm a lazy arse.

My wife says she won't allow it, but I see a ZZ Top in my future, once I retire from teaching.

[Lootifer]

Hahaha, f*ck yeah.

Trim, cut and shave whatever parts you want. Perhaps carve a swastika in your cheek.

[Lootifer]

So the options are:

- Buy a electric gadget that has a trimming function
or
- Be anally retentive with a pair of tiny little scissors

??

[notyou2]

Yes.

[notyou2]

Maybe Uncle Saxi will lend you his ear, nose and eyebrow hair trimmer.

Ok this thread was a bit of a ruse; basically I wanted to rationalise my judgement of hipster wankers with groomed beards. If it was something easy or cheap I wouldnt really have a leg to stand on, but alas, I am now comfortable with my assessment that the hipster wankers are in fact hipster wankers.

Using an electric beard trimmer once or twice a week is a lot faster than shaving every day. For shaving the choice is an electric gadget or being anally retentive with a sharp object.

As for letting it grow...

Nah.

Ask Tom Cruise how he convinced Katie Holmes to sign on for the five years.

Most shavers that I've seen have a beard trimmer attachment, so I don't understand your problem. Next time your shaver burns out, make sure you buy one with the attachment.

As for tiny scissors, no. I use big-assed utility scissors for the rough work. Then I just use the beard attachment on the shaver to even out the areas where I got it just a little too uneven with the scissors.

[notyou2]

Surely you can easily lay your hands on some electric sheep shears? They'll do in a pinch, or if you are Kiwi.

Sure, Lootifer, you can borrow it. (Just fair warning, though, I use it to shave my sack.)

[notyou2]

Butt, you wash it after....right?

Stop being such a prude, it's not like Lootifer is going to put it inside his mouth.

[Lootifer]

You guys obviously dont know your typical kiwi bloke stereotypes very well...

As is is fine Saxi my man, if its good enough to trim downstairs I might give it a whirl as well; surprise the wife with a bit o naked grape action.

[natty dread]

I use small scissors and a razor.

Everyone washes their sack after they shave it - too itchy otherwise. What's your point?

[Nola_Lifer]

Scissors and a comb is all I use.

I don't think Saxi was referring to That sack, I believe he was referring to the sack under his chin, commonly known as waddle.

I have video.

I don't. I gotta keep it itchy to keep me alert and on edge all through the day.

[Haggis_McMutton]

I don't. I just let 'er grow.

Nice try.
