How To Trim A Beard

Trimming your beard can make a huge difference in your overall style. A quick trim lets you take your beard from the trail to the board room. Trimming your beard is easy with the right tools. If it’s your first time, or if you just need a refresher, King C. Gillette has all the tips, tricks, and tools you need to make your facial hair feel as good as it looks.

Step 1

Step 1: Clean and Dry Your Beard Before You Start

Trim after you shower and when your beard is dry—your hair will be hydrated and easier to cut, and will give you a better idea of how it will look once it’s tamed.
Step 2

Step 2: Brush Out Any Tangles

Brush out your beard. This can detangle knots and set your beard up for optimal grooming.

Step 3: Pick Your Style And Tools

Use the King C. Gillette Beard Trimmer to get an even trim. For the best trimming, pull your skin taught and trim in a sweeping motion away from your face
Step 4

Step 4: Start Long and Work Your Way Down

Remember, there’s no undo button for bad trimming, so start with a longer guide comb to control length. For the best styling, trim your beard shorter on your neck and cheeks. Keep hair longer on your chin to create a fade. For more inspiration, check out the top beard styles for men

Step 5: Brush Down Your ‘Stache
