I had an accident trimming my beard last night, the length attachment fell off while using and took a huge chunk of it out. Didn't have any other option but to trim it all off. I kept the mo and some of the "soul patch" (had to look up what that's called, strange name). I haven't been hairless on my face like this for years, it's an adjustment. Feeling wind on my cheeks this morning was weird and kinda nice. Maybe this was divine intervention to change it up.

I've been there. That exact scenario. My condolences ๐Ÿ’€

My husband's been growing beards lately and he can't get the trimming right near the top lip. Doesn't matter how many you tube videos he's watched he somehow makes it look weird so he shaves it all off and the growing process starts again.

I don't care if he has a beard or not. I just don't want to see food dangling off the mo.

I used to trim my own and it looked pretty bad each time. Started going to the local barbers, and they're fantastic. I go every 6-8 weeks, and in between trim it myself a bit.

They're worth it.

Good idea. Maybe I should give it a go first though.

When he goes in for a hair cut he gets his eyebrows trimmed. Surely that's a sign you're getting old when the hairdresser asks "Sir would you like your eyebrows trimmed too"?

In that situation Iโ€™d attempt a ~~combover~~ combdown

As a bearded man, this happening to me would break my heart. I'm so sorry.

Soul patch? I call it the crouton
