The technical guide to beard trimming, and not a single LED in sight. My beard was getting a bit too bushy, so I decided to go back to a long goatee. The best way I've found to get a neat and perfectly aligned goatee is to use a suitable funnel as a template. The funnel self centres nicely on the chin and the tapered sides allow full access with the trimmer. Just make sure you poke all the beard into the funnel, especially if you have a long goatee. All hair trimmers work best if they are oiled before each use if that is what is recommended by the manufacturer. A dry trimmer will be more likely to snag hair. If you prefer your goatee to be a bit squarer at the sides then you can use a comb as a guide and slide the rimmer down against it. Always trim your goatee in a well lit area and when you're wide awake, and make sure you don't get too finicky about it. Otherwise you may over-trim and end up with somewhat less of a beard than you wanted.
