Trimming 101

Trimming with and without Guide Combs

Trim your beard with your trimmer and guide combs. For detailing and cleaning up stray hairs, use your trimmer without a guide comb.

Fade Your Beard

Use different guide comb lengths to achieve a faded beard look. Fading your beard helps blend the hairs together. 

Lining your beard gives you an even neckline and the finished beard you want.

Lining Your Beard

To start lining your beard, begin trimming just above the Adam’s apple. This helps shape your beard.
