Hi,
After many years as a DE shaver, I decided two months ago, that it was time to try growing a beard. I am satisfied with the result, it is not patchy, and I get a lot of positive comments on it. However, I find myself in uncharted waters when it comes to maintaining it. I trim the neckline with a DE razor, so that part is ok, and I also use beard oil every day.
My main problem is how and when should I start trimming the "main beard". I am leaning towards getting a beard trimmer, as I don't think I will be able to get a good result with scissors. The models I have been checking out can cut from between 0.4 mm to 7 or 10 mm. I would like a beard with good, full volume, that still looks "tidy". Is 7 or 10 mm enough for that ?
