After four to six weeks, your facial hair will begin to become unruly. To avoid this, keep the edges of the bard clean and sharp. Using a beard trimmer, you can maintain a clean pair of mutton chops, and prevent it from becoming too bushy. Although this style is typically broad and full, keeping the strays away will ensure a polished look at all times. If you suffer from dry skin or irritation on your face, opt for a specialized shampoo and oil, which will soften the hair and your complexion.
