How I Trim the Beard Neckline

[@DaniloDanny77]

Man, that's, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful, the fullest, patch free beard I've ever seen.

[@GregBoswell428]

Thanks man, I appreciate that!

[@DaniloDanny77]

@@GregBoswell428 Now, I need a favour. Please, tell me, what is the ratio between the lowest part of neckline and the chin area in terms of hair length. I'm thinking of growing a longer beard, and I don't know how to treat that submental triangle and the chin. Please, tell me.

[@GregBoswell428]

@@DaniloDanny77 If you're going to grow a longer beard, I would just not trim the neckline at all. The hair on the neck will provide the girth and support your beard will need to look its finest

[@lenndawg1]

Greg Boswell id like to see your beard when it was on the longer side as I’m where u r in the vid now for a few years and was thinking about growing it further out. Like yourself I keep it clean

It's crazy that I've watched so many videos on how to do this exact line up on the jawline & your simple trick is what helped me most. Thanks

I've tried different techniques from other channels but this gave me the best result. Cheers

Literally one of the most perfect beards ever. But not in an overdone way. Like it just looks sharp and natural.

[@GregBoswell428]

[@crossetix]

Only proper video for doing this I found! Thanks, will try tomorrow morning! Thanks

[@kurtjones2151]

Good video. You're the first guy to mention that neck fat as you get older in relation to neck lines, if I trim any higher I look like a bullfrog!

[@GregBoswell428]

Exactly! Beards, you gotta love 'em!

[@ZeeKay80]

Thank you for making these videos. I've had my beard for 6+ years and haven't had a good way to trim and groom it. Your videos are godsend. I tried asking friends how do they trim their breads and its not a comfortable conversation :D Plus you show it in your videos. Keep it up!

[@GregBoswell428]

Thanks man, I'm glad it's helpful

[@scottbusby6095]

Thx bud. Will try this as struggling shaping neckline. Also digging the Billy Zane vibe 👍👍

[@OhNellly]

Where your beard is right now is the exact look I’m going for. I have good genetic for that style but in the past I’ve rocked a cleanup scruffy look a lot. I trimmed my neck line closer to my jaw line. That is why I’m watching this video. The thing is I gave my face, checks, stash, etc a two or three week head start so I’m getting close to needing to carve in a proper beard neckline. Instead of taking it right up under my jawline. It looks like I’ll be fine even though many people seem to shun starting with more on the face than neck.

[@miketilton6393]

As soon as I saw your badass beard I knew good and well your videos were gonna be the best by far to watch and learn. Call it a hunch.

[@sathyajames9215]

I was so much worse at this until I watched this video, wish I saw it years ago! Thanks man

I’m 41 never grown a beard before, I was gonna end up with a chinstrap beard without even knowing what that is... glad I saw your video before I messed it up... nice 1 thanks !!

I'm glad I could help. I think I was 43 when I grew my first beard. And I've messed it up a lot. 😅

[@ynwa3476]

Nothing compliments a bald head better then a well shaped beard.

[@thereisnorighteousperson1049]

Yes and also nothing compliments full beard more than a bald head.

[@tigertail68]

I totally agree! (I, too, now happen to be bald with a beard!)

[@MetalSonic1389]

Thank u so much I've been having trouble with getting a consistent neckline this is going to help alot much appreciated!

[@markcafebrown2883]

Great video Greg. Yea as we age our chin does sag and no amount of weight lose fixes it. A beard hides it, so Nick line is super important. I’ll be 47 in 8 days so it’s important to make my neckline just above Adam’s Apple and essentially shave straight across w/head back, it puts nice line on w/a natural looking jaw and neckline. Appreciate you brother

[@rogermurtaugh4766]

I like your delivery.

[@shubhamchitre4702]

[@awaisjamil9956]

can you do a video explainin the different neck lines and reasons for doing them?

[@nbl810]

He has a beautyful beard. I'm now also growing my beard for the first time anf I have the same type of hair and beardshape. I hope it's gonna be the same like him because his beard is owsome. Maybe a tip if you read this is to wear big (squar shape) black glasses. Thats a owsome look that make you look like a strong smart man. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@vincenicholas7743]

Looks sharp. I tilt my head back and shave everything under the gullet with a straight line.

[@nirfilus]

If u take the neckline one finger above Adam’s apple it creates more squarely look and also trim a little below on the side (also one finger) It works best for me, the shape looks good and symmetrical when u trim it this way. I’m 21 by the way.

[@zurielvalladares5947]

Love your attitude man! Thanks for the video. It really helps.

[@SterlingWood]

Thank you Greg! Finally making the leap at age 27, I've always made the excuse I just dont have the genetics but I've realkzed2its been lack of knowledge and practuce6! Subbed and tuning in!

I realised that after looking at your ears you have the sides of the beard at an angle. I had like a "Duh!" moment and realised it looks so much better having it that way.

[@ChrisfromGeorgia]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I agree with the way you line up your beard. The only issue I encounter is that I have a big scar on the left side of my face and neck. I have to allow my facial hair to grow a little longer in one spot to be able to cover the worst area that is right below my jawline. If I don't allow the hair to grow a bit longer, it leaves a noticeable patch that makes it look uneven with the other side. Anyways, take care and thanks again for the tips! Btw, nice beard brother. Peace

You have to invest in a safety razor I find it much easier to remove the hair under your neck then the multi blades and plus blades are cheaper.

[@OmnipotentSaiyan]

My neckbeard is starting to fill in now Before I had a Chinstrap, but now the growth is spreading on my face and neck a little more each year. I'm new to this self trimming facial hair stuff so I'm kind of lost. I will shave my entire beard to even it out and try to grow a full beard now that my neck hair has began to grow in. Any tips for facial hair to connect to the sideburn from the mustache? Shampoo, Conditioner, and Oil isn't working as fast as I would like it to, but over the past 3 years of doing that routine it has made significant growth despite my genetics.

[@FreeformThoughts804]

New subscriber here and bro I love your vids. Recently transitioned to a more groomed and tamed appearance as far as my beard goes and been watching all your vids ever since! Good information bro and continue to share!

[@SillyWilly2813]

Nice beard tips. One question I can never seem to get a clear answer with would be the area between you’re sideburn and you’re ear running right down to you’re jawline/neckline. That is a huge problem area for me and I never seem to be able to match it up with my neckline. Any idea what I’m talking about?

[@dougrichards5036]

Good job Man excellent tutorial Now i know what to do. My beard is thick enough but being inexperienced i cut up way high around the Adams apple area the first time i tried to do the neck line leaving me with an under curl if you know what I mean. Not far now from where I want it but it seemed like it took longer to catch up than it did to grow the actual beard its self. Thanks again 👌

[@princeicio]

Trimming the sides is the hardest thing to do. Last time I did it, I used a guard and ended up shaving a big chunk of hair.

[@ditto1051]

This takes some practice for sure. I've tried trimming in front of the ear, and my hand (and the clippers) seem to go in the opposite direction that I want them to go! The problem is with the second angle mirror, not the front on views... Proceed with caution gentlemen!!

[@davidlogan8905]

Man, I'm still utterly baffled by that. It's like being in a 'house of mirrors' at times. I've tried even getting the trimmer right where I need it, so all it takes it one quick motion and as soon as I start moving my hand it's like whooa... nope! So confusing.

[@prestozable]

If I follow my ears it won't meet in the middle until about 3/4 of the way down my neck 🤣

[@danischannel]

Do the opposite then...instead of marking from the ears to the neck, mark from your neck...mark the point about 2 fingers thick (or quarter inch thick) above your adams apple, then create an imaginary curved line up towards the ears.voila

Quick question... If my underchin/ neck hair grows faster than the rest of my beard, do u think it would b fine to cut closer to the chin line? I also have a very slim fave, and an extremely pronounced Adams apple. Just for a little more info.

Hi Greg! Isn't there any way I'll get mad if I shave my head for hair?

[@JHawkTV]

Hey man I’ve been stopping right below my jawline like you talked about not doing and I knew Something was looking off about it and came across your vid, thanks. Really excited to try your method. However I’ve got about an inch growth with my current facial hair, do you recommend completely restarting? Also I have a smaller chin (it doesn’t protrude much), in your experience will this neckline method help or hurt that compared to the other way?

[@GregBoswell428]

I wouldn't start all over again unless you just want to. It will start to blend in easy enough if you just give it time. I've done the same thing before. I'm not really sure what to tell you concerning your chin.
