Shaving a beard: tips and no-gos

Especially in no-shave November, many men have a beard, which you will have to shave sooner or later. We have put together the best tips - and above all the most important no-gos - for you in this home article.

Tips & Tricks: Trim and shave your beard

• Trim your beard regularly to the same length. The usual full beard still looks well cared for up to a length of around two centimeters. Longer beards deviate from the visual norm.
• Special beard scissors are recommended to shorten the beard. You can get good models from around 20 euros. Electric shavers with attachments are sometimes somewhat inaccurate, but can also be used for this.
• Especially the contours should be redrawn every two to three days, depending on the beard growth. If the hair removed from the cheek grows back, the beard quickly looks neglected.
• You should also trace the contour regularly on the neck. A clear edge on the neck makes the beard appear as a desired work and not as pure wild growth.
• The beard on the upper lip must also stay in line. Keeping the beard short doesn't only have a positive effect on the look. This means that less food gets stuck in the beard. The upper lip mustache should at most be flush with the upper lip.
• Beard wax or pommade is recommended for styling longer beards. You can use it to shape the beard. Before you do this, comb your beard.
• A good razor or hair trimmer is important for this. On our price comparison portal BestCheck you will find the best products at the best price.

Shave Beard: The No-Gos

• Do not let the beard grow longer than your scalp hair. The unequal relationship is rarely felt to be fashionable. If you have a bald head or a very long beard, this rule no longer applies.
• Do not use hairspray or gel to style your beard. This makes the beard too static or sticky.
• Don't forget to take care of your beard while showering. You should wash your beard in the shower with mild shampoo at least every two days.
