STUBBLE
NEAT
Good stubble is all about even length and clean edges. Here is how to get both.
Short answer: to keep stubble neat, trim it to an even length with a trimmer, shave a clean cheek line and neckline with a fresh razor, and moisturise the skin underneath. Repeat every few days. Clean edges are what make stubble look intentional.
Stubble looks tidy when the length is even and the edges are sharp. Without that, it can look unkempt.
The three-step routine
Use a trimmer with a guard and go over the whole area, against and with the grain, until it is even.
Action: Even length first.Shave below your chosen neckline and above the natural cheek line. A common guide for the neckline is about two finger-widths above your Adam’s apple.
Action: Fresh blade, light strokes.Wash your face and use a light, alcohol-free moisturiser to stop itching and dryness.
