GROWING A BEARD

There are three key factors that will determine which beard
style is best for you:

1. The shape and dimensions of your face.

2. The natural growth of your beard.

3. The thickness of your beard. If you are unsure about the
type of beard that would most suit your face, speak with a
professional hair stylist.

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD

The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer
positions. You may find different procedures work better for
you.

1. Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal
stray hairs that may be longer than the others.

2. Attach the 6-position trimming guide to trim and taper your
beard. With the blades pointing toward you, begin with the
trimming guide attachment set at a long trimming length.
For best results, start at each
sideburn and stroke down­ward toward your neck. Trim
toward your chin in smooth,
overlapping strokes, following
the lay of your beard. If you
trim against the way your
beard naturally lays, the
trimmer will cut the hair much
shorter and the result may be patchy.
Adjust the trimming guide to progressively shorter settings until
you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to set the
trimming guide attachment to cut closer near the ear and down
under the chin, changing to a longer setting toward the front of
the face and point of your chin. When the trimming guide is
removed, it will remain at its last length setting until you
change it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is snapped solidly into the
desired position before you start to trim.

3. Remove the trimming guide and cut the outline of your
beard. Rotate the trimmer so that the blades are pointing
toward you. Starting under your chin and working back toward
your jawbone and ears, cut the outer perimeter of your beard
underneath the jawbone. Continue the line all the way up to
the ears and hairline.

4. Accentuate your beard line by using the trimmer in a down­ward motion. Start at the line you’ve created and, working from
the chin back toward the ears, trim the area right under your
beard line.

5. Define the upper part of your beard using the same tech­nique.

6. For a neater finished look, use the close-trim/jawline blend­ing attachment which is also included with your trimmer. To use
the attachment, simply insert one side of the attachment over

the front of the blades, and then push the other side back until
both sides are locked into position. Then, using the trimmer in
an upward motion, start trimming under the chin with short,
outward, rolling strokes. Continue trimming until entire jawline
is blended.
To remove the attachment, pull tab away from one side to
release attachment from trimmer. Use somewhat of a rolling
pressure action, with your thumb on top and index finger
underneath.

TRIMMING YOUR MUSTACHE

(with Beard Regulator)

1. Comb your mustache.

2. Hold the trimmer in a vertical position with the blades
pointing toward you in order to define the line of your mus­tache.

3. With the attachment set at a fairly long trimming length,
begin trimming your mustache, starting at the top and working
down to your upper lip. Use progressively closer settings to get
the look and length you desire. You may also use the close­trim/jawline blending attachment for finish blending and
tapering your mustache.

4. For tapering the mustache, set the 6-position trimming guide
at a medium length. Starting in the middle of your mustache,
follow the lip line and taper with short upward strokes of the
trimmer, working out toward the corners until a gentle shape is
created on the bottom of your mustache.

5. As a finishing step, remove the trimming guide and, using
only the bare blades, make a definitive line at the bottom of
your mustache.

TRIMMING YOUR BEARD WITH ATTACHMENTS

Your Trimmer includes three snap-on attachments, 1/8” and
3/16” and a stubble guide. The attachments are ideal for
trimming and defining your beard, as well as for achieving a
stubble look. The guides can be used with or against the
direction of hair growth
depending on your
preference of close­ness. For the stubble
look, use the stubble
guide every other day. The specially designed rounded guide
will give you that few day growth look. Outline your stubble
look like you would a beard.
