As you know, our site is all about trimming beards, and usually we focus on the products that are created to help you do that, but electric beard trimmers aren’t for everyone, and don’t always suit longer beards and certain styles, so we recommend having a good pair of scissors available to you in your facial hair maintenance kit!
How to Trim Your Beard With Scissors
First thing’s first, we need to look at the process of trimming your beard with scissors, and it does take some getting used to.
- Make sure you have the right equipment, namely some good beard scissors and a beard comb (yes, that really is necessary!)
- Thoroughly wash and even condition your beard first, this makes sure it is even and in the best possible shape to be trimmed.
- Comb throughout.
- With your comb, brush upwards through the beard to make sure that it is fluffy and sticking out as far as it can.
- Still brushing upwards, with a slight slant so that the desired amount of hair to chop off is sticking through the spokes of the comb, and begin to cut these hairs off with your scissors.
- Do this throughout at an even length, or to the style you desire!
What to Look For? So what do you need from your scissors? Well, there is a criteria for making the right choice. Firstly, choose a high quality metal that will avoid rust or other problems. A sharp trim is also a must (of course) and a carry pouch is a huge plus point for not losing it and keeping it safe!
