Beard Grooming

[Pooky]

The only part of my beard that I have at the moment is on my chin, and my moustache, plus a little patch above my chin. I like growing it a bit but when it gets too long then I have to shave it all off and start again.

I like the 'just longer than stubble look', who trims their beard to a certain length and what do you use?

you don't have to shave it all off, just buy a philips beard timmer - you have different beard length levels you can choose from, from the one day stubble look to longer:

That looks quite expensive though and I can't seem to find it in SA.

I use that clipper on the back of a shaver. Works wonders. Cannot recall the name but very nice little product.

It does look really good, from some of the reviews as well. Now to find the thing.

/there was also too much grey coming through!!

On a side note - pooky you have facial hair? Awesome!

On a second side note, level 1 drops you down to like the fashionable one day stubble, I generally trim to levels 3 or 4.

I only use hairclippers on my beard at the shortest setting. It's quick, painless and leaves you with a nice stubble. Can't remember when last I used a shaver. Hairclippers are less than R100.

They're also good for cutting your hair and bushy eyebrows

Urghh, shaving... . I got the gorilla genes from my dad, so now I rock with a full ass kicking beard in two weeks . After a week, it's damn long (not quite at "full beard" level though).

Worse thing ever, I shave to baby skin smooth in the morning, by the evening, the stubble is back .

I bought my hubby a Schick razor/trimmer combo thingey at Checkers for R99. It is waterproof, runs on 1 AAA battery and has 4 height settings. The trimmer works like a bomb and you can clean/rinse it very easily because its waterproof - just under the tap and voila. Also it's shorter than a toothbrush so you can chuck it in your travel bag and carry it with you, use it anywhere, wet or dry.

I actually considered getting one for myself too, just because it's so darn nifty. And for R100, battery included, its really worth it.
