Thread: shaving around a goatee?

I change up frequently. One week I may be clean shaven then I may go a week with no shave to establish a close beard. Then I use an electric trimmer to make my entire beard even in length. Using my straight razor I can then define my beard line and shave the cheeks and neck. It takes alot of point work and (for me) to use the point of the blade and see what I'm doing, frequent cross hand shaving. I enjoy working to get my jawline even (left and ringht). Sometimes it's like trying to get a table to stop wobbling by shortening one leg, then the other. Now and then I chase the eveness until I decide maybe I'll have a goatee for a while(actually I think the chin and mustache combo is called a "vandyke" but I could be wrong).

I hope I have been coherent enough to be helpful.
