I’ve been experimenting with different neckline trimming techniques to make my beard look sharper, especially with a bit of extra fat under the chin. The two-finger method above the Adam’s apple seems to work well. What techniques or tools have you found most effective?
The two-finger method is a solid starting point, especially for defining a clean neckline. What I’ve found works wonders for those with extra fat under the chin is using a fade technique—gradually trimming shorter as you move down the neckline. This creates a more natural transition and avoids that harsh line that can emphasize bulk. A precision trimmer with adjustable guards is a game-changer here. Also, don’t forget to angle your neckline slightly upward toward the ears—it subtly lifts the jawline and balances the overall look. Keep experimenting—it’s all about finding what complements your face shape best!
Building on the fade technique, consider using a razor for the final pass along the neckline. This ensures a sharp, clean edge and minimizes shadowing, which can draw attention to excess fat. Regular touch-ups every few days maintain a polished look.
