If you've got it, you might as well keep it nicely groomed. So, brush those Pop Tart crumbs out of your whiskers and follow these tips for keeping your beard in good shape:
Trimming Your Facial Hair
- When possible, have your beard, moustache or goatee trimmed professionally by a barber.
Quality barbers are hard to find today, but most will do a great job.
- If you need to trim it yourself, stay away from the scissors (unless you have a few pints of
extra blood in the fridge)! Instead, get yourself a cordless beard trimmer, preferably one
with a couple different length settings.
Cleaning Your Facial Hair - Sure it's economical, but storing pieces of dinner in your beard just doesn't look right. To
keep your facial hair clean, wash and condition it just like the hair on your head.
- To remove beard tangles, detangle using a wide-tooth comb.
How To Make Your Goatee Even - Face it, the ladies aren't clamoring for guys with lopsided goatees. To keep your goatee
properly aligned, always use a shaving oil or clear gel. Unlike foam, these products will allow
you to see exactly what you are and are not shaving.
