jackI trimmed my beard for the second time. I enjoy doing it, it's so easy, and pleasing (somehow like rearranging books). I ran the longer clippers over the beard, and it seemed to stay a nice length, and I used the severe clippers to cut it back, for below the chin where it's difficult to shave, it had been creeping backwards as I shaved a little short every time.
Conversely, I have a tendency to shave too far in at the sides and give rounded corners, whereas I like it when the sides are more vertical. So I have to shave a little wide, making sure to leave stubble where I want the beard to grow.
When it got a bit longer, it looked odd, but I was curious to see when it was longer than that, and decided it was ok, and I enjoyed being able to play with it with a finger, tracing it to flatten in either direction, but that I preferred it a trimmed length, where it's just soft.
