I have a bit of annoyance with my wife. For years she told me she didn't like beards, and so I didn't grow one. Finally I thought: it's my decision, and so I grew one, and now she says she likes it.

Dammit!

So I only shave my neck and I vary using a twin-bladed older Gillette Atra, and a Philips rotary. With the Gillette I use a brush and usually Williams mug shaving soap.

I trim my beard and groom with an adjustable trimmer - I use the no. 1 setting for my lower lip and right beside my mouth, no. 2 for the rest of the moustache and most of the beard, and no. 3 for the point of my chin just to give a little emphasis there. I also use no. 1, slightly tilted, around the razor line on my neck and the back edge of my sideburns, to slightly bevel or taper the outside edge of the beard.

I use no. 4 for my heavy Scottish eyebrows.
