Short Boxed Beard

- Short
The beard is taken down to an even short length all round, then squared off at the cheek and the neck so the jaw reads as a clean line. It sits between stubble and a full beard, and it is the shape most people mean when they ask for a beard trim.
Who it suits
- Rounder faces, because the squared jaw line adds definition
- Patchy growth, since a shorter length evens the density out
- Anyone who wants a beard that still looks tidy at work
Styling it
- Decide where the neckline sits before it is cut. Roughly a finger above the Adam's apple is the usual place.
- Say if you want the cheek line straight or left to follow your own growth.
As it grows out
It stays sharp for about two weeks. After that the cheek line softens first and the whole shape starts drifting back toward stubble.
