The Scruffy Beard Guide

scruffy_beard

Ah, the scruffy beard. It's not just facial hair; it's a statement. A declaration of "I woke up like this" combined with a hint of "I could chop wood if I really had to." This is for those mornings when the snooze button is your best friend, and grooming feels like a task for another day.


Step-by-Step Guide:


1. Let It Grow: Begin by allowing your stubble to transform into a beard over approximately two weeks. Think of it as your face's very own pet project.


2. Trim Time: Once you've achieved that perfect level of scruff, give it a good wash, dry it off, and trim it down with a setting between 5-12mm. This isn't about precision; it's about attitude.


3. Neck and Cheek Line: With a scruffy beard, perfection is not the goal. Just clean up any strays that detract from your rugged charm.


4. Mouth Area: Optionally, trim around your lips. It's not just for looks – it's also so you can enjoy a sandwich without a side of hair.


5. Enjoy the Ruggedness: Congratulations, you've now achieved the ultimate rugged look.
