How do you use a beard edger?

Published in Beard Grooming 3 mins read

Unfortunately, the provided references primarily mention beard oil and only indirectly reference a "Beard Hedger™ Pro Kit". Therefore, a comprehensive guide on using a beard edger cannot be extracted from the given text. To properly answer this, more information on what aspects of using the edger are of interest is needed. However, I can provide a general outline based on common beard trimming practices and edger functionalities.

  1. Preparation:

    • Ensure your beard is dry. A dry beard is easier to manage and trim evenly.
    • Comb your beard to remove tangles and knots, ensuring a smooth surface for trimming.
    • Decide on the desired beard style and length.
  2. Setting up the Edger:

    • If the beard edger is cordless, confirm it's fully charged.
    • Attach the appropriate guard or adjustable setting for your desired beard length. Starting with a longer guard is always recommended to avoid accidentally trimming too much.
  3. Edging the Cheek Line:

    • Define the cheek line by visualizing a gentle curve or straight line from the sideburns to the corner of your mouth.
    • Hold the edger with the blade facing downwards and gently trace along the desired cheek line. Use short, controlled strokes for precision.
    • Remove hair above the defined line.
  4. Edging the Neckline:

    • The neckline is crucial for a clean, polished look. Find the natural crease of your neck.
    • Typically, the neckline should be about an inch or two above your Adam's apple.
    • Angle the edger and trim the hair below the defined neckline. Use smooth, upward strokes.
  5. Shaping the Beard:

    • Trim the beard to the desired length using the edger and appropriate guard. Work your way down from longer to shorter guards until you reach your desired length.
    • Pay attention to shaping the beard to complement your face shape.
  6. Refining and Detailing:

    • Remove the guard and use the edger to refine the edges of your beard, especially around the mustache and soul patch area. Be very careful during this step to avoid accidental cuts.
    • Use the edger to clean up any stray hairs on your cheeks or neck.
  7. Post-Trimming Care:

    • Apply beard oil (as referenced in the provided text snippet) to moisturize your beard and skin.
    • Comb your beard to ensure it's neatly styled.
    • Clean the beard edger to maintain hygiene and performance.

Without further context on a specific product or desired outcome, a more detailed answer isn't possible.
