I think it's time for a beard trim. All I've personally done is trim my upper lip and clip off a couple of unruly stragglers. As far as trimming the whole thing up though, I don't want to even try to do it. I figure I don't cut my own hair on my head so why would I risk butchering up my beard. So I'm looking for referrals for a place that knows what the heck they are doing located somewhere in 35242 (or VERY nearby). Thanks ahead of time.

Watch a couple YouTube videos, get some clippers. Do it yourself. It’s not that hard.

Ok. Come on over and let me practice on yours first. I know I could do it myself. I don't want to have to shave the damn thing off and start over after I get done doing it myself. I'm not a cheap bastard. I'm willing to pay a professional to do things that I don't know how to, am not especially skilled at, or simply don't want to do. I'm a plumber by trade and I make a nice part of my living from people watching YouTube videos and then f'ing up there plumbing.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a barber who has a lot of experience trimming beards located somewhere in 35242 or close by?

I don't know why it's so hard to get a simple answer to a simple question on here sometimes.

The Men’s Chair in bham. Allison does a great job.

Your not going to learn any younger and if you intercourse it up shave it off and start over its hair it'll grow back

Every time I've let a "Professional" do mine they screw it up, I'd rather do it myself.....

Talk to Mr. Wahl. With the guides they supply you have to try pretty hard to screw it up.

I don't have good luck with them(using the guards) either, cause my goatee grows in different directions lol.

Fore ah knowed it...

Check out that hat. Nice.

If you do decide to do it yourself. Don't try to cut it all in one sitting. I'll do a little one night and a little more the next. Don't try to do to much at one time. Start with the edges and just trim a little. I always do mine in the evening, never in the morning.

I just comb mine out and start at the side burns trimming with out a guard to the length I want. If I mess it up I never shave it off.

Get yourself a beard trimmer with all the guards and use it.....I trim mine once a week, usually on Sunday morning, I use the next to the shortest guard and it takes me all of five minutes.

Being that I'm pushing 60, I get that in my eyebrows.

Well I don't have that problem just yet, you have about 23 years on me However I do get a straggler from time to time lol..

Put a lil milk on it and let the cat lick it off....

Please forgive me for making a genuine suggestion. I have been trimming my own beard for 25+ years. In no way did I insinuate you were a cheap bastard. All I was saying, it’s not that hard. If I can make another suggestion. Try calling several barber shops and ask if they have someone who is comfortable trimming beards. Try the commercial type places too. The girl that cuts my son’s hair at Great Clips is very experienced in beard trimming. So you don’t know where you might find someone. Kindly enough, if you come to Auburn I will be more than happy to give you a trim. Good luck.

Yeah, sorry, that was a little cranky of me.

Your time is coming pal. Between ears, nose and eyebrows it gets to be a job keeping chit under control.
